Description

We flow with bitter words that file sharp our teeth and we bite off our own tongues. We trample any trace of Your Divinity's hope and we'll sacrifice our young. With our eyes sewn shut now the light can't shine Oh, we'll never wake from dead. And when You beg for us to open up and let You in, then we'll cut You out instead. You promised you'd give us Your Word, we never believed it was true and we pretend that we never heard 'cuz we still don't believe in You. We built a wall to keep You out ignoring every word and we saw Your face behind our tongues, apathetic to what we'd heard. Why does it falter? We built it all ourselves. why does it hurt so bad, forsaking all this help? why are we choking on pills designed to heal? we threw our hearts away 'cuz we're too afraid to feel . . . I heard You calling, setting fire to my soul. Is this the Voice we die for? We die for Life! "We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." ~ Romans 6:4
