man I don’t like it
when I know you can see
the light fading away
from my eyesthe peace is gone
this apathy’s soaking in my heart
I feel the shame once
gone take another start
and I’m past pain in fact
the conviction’s what I miss
will the doubt come again
welcome death with a kiss
my heart is so fickle
changing up in every way
taking new roads
from the good path again I stray
and it kills me cause I am so blessed
but lack the humility
to live out in thankfulness
my pride swells up
I’m such a hypocrite
all the answers in my head
but no relevance
because the disconnect
from head to heart
surrounded by loved ones
but feel miles apart
I cry out for rescue
from this body of death
but for now in my weakness
I’ll take a slow breath and sing
come again in the morning
a new day is here now
and on this narrow road
we’ll take in every sound
and I know it won’t be long
until I’m home with You
so sing with me in harmony
until the day is through
many people say
there are many paths to heaven
but where I come from the flour
can’t remove the leaven
I know my answer to salvation
is the Son of Man
I know that many don’t
agree I try to understand
and to love all
even if we’re enemies
and I try to spread
around the world what I see
and make a legacy of changing
lives with good truth
and living in peace
and joy as my own proof
I appeal to all who
listen to music sublime
it feels wrong to separate it
from Someone Divine
but I’ll respect the fact that
you may have your own thoughts
and I’ll stand firm in
what I know and what I’ve got
living with no regrets even
when I seem dull
and even when my faith
and passions seem to stall
cause my love and
hope is grounded externally
so take my hand in yours
and let’s look to eternity
come again in the morning
a new day is here now
and on this narrow road
we’ll take in every sound
and I know it won’t be long
until I’m home with You
so sing with me in harmony
until the day is through
