If They're Not Counted, Count Me Out |
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 |
