The singer sings
The dancer dances
The Lord prepares the heart of men
The past is finished
In its running
But it is where the memories live
I found that hope
Was more than substance
I found it was
The strength to give
Why do we search
For answers we know
Why do we settle
For a little less growth
More than we trust
It has all been laid out
The end from the beginning
That God has made clear
We head towards our triumph
Or we head towards our shame
Now is the time to stop playing games
If we withhold
From us it’s withheld
If we dish out
It will surely dish back
Why do we struggle for a meager existence
If life is so over after we exit?
But one thing is real whether you agree with me or not
Why should we waste it,
If it’s just a temporary lot?
We can accept our blessings or curse our frame
But won’t you at least call on Christ’s name?
What if He answers, what if He doesn’t
But to receive a response
You must be wide open
Don’t rush in with greed
Seeking to manipulate
Just call on the Lord
And let Him reciprocate
Maybe you’re hurt
You’ve tried once before
But perhaps you were led
To the wrong door
He isn’t your enemy
Your life isn’t futile
Why would He make you
To be so unique?
We all were given promise
To become something neat
A vessel of honor
A vessel of glory
But how can He mold us
If we slap His hand away?
He is the potter-
As our Creator
Should He not be interested?
Would He design us for destruction
Just to mock us?
Would He seek to slay us just for pleasure?
There are trials- things that beset us
But because of experience
We can taste victory
I had to face pain
But I got to taste healing
I had to lose a battle
But I learned how to come back
I lied and deceived
But found the importance of truth
I discouraged my brother
But found embrace in his compassion
Without darkness
There would have never been light
But because we have hope
We endure through the night
Maybe it would have been easier
To have never been afflicted
But because I was
I tasted God’s redemption
