| There is such hope in the stories we’ve been told
|
| Recounted endless times by the aging and old
|
| Tales of peace, worship and holy places
|
| Palaces adorned with gold and lofty terraces
|
| But I’m always left with quiet dismay
|
| Cause I’m told that some of those I love won’t be with me
|
| So I’m left behind in an eternal place
|
| Cause the ones who meant the most didn’t receive Your grace
|
| They called it beautiful, but to me it holds nothing that is holy
|
| I can only know what I’ve seen
|
| And what I’ve seen is that You’ve made us clean
|
| Given us the right to be anything we want to be
|
| Why would You give me eyes to see and then deny me these?
|
| Eternity is a lock found inside our hearts and You’ve
|
| handed Humanity the key
|
| So I won’t be swayed by fantasies of unquenchable flames
|
| Or some place of torment, the damned never to see Your face
|
| We are all Your creation
|
| You love us all the same
|
| A Father doesn’t sit idly by while His children are maimed
|
| I’ve seen true Grace
|
| I promise you we will never feel the lick of those flames
|
| Where Death is your glory?
|
| Where Death is your sting?
|
| For we are all children of the King
|
| Every last one an eternal being
|
| So I’ll reject your fear and hatred
|
| For I bring Good News that will be for all nations!
|
| I’ve seen wholeness in the broken
|
| I’ve seen health in the sick
|
| Why do we stifle the Word You’ve spoken?
|
| If it kills me, I’ll tear these walls down brick by brick
|
| I’ve seen hospitality in the homeless
|
| I’ve seen Light in the darkness
|
| And I’ve seen hope in the damned
|
| So if all that has meant the most to me isn’t present after my last breath
|
| Count me with the fallen sheep and send me to the depths |
