Love

You're wonderful, creative, endlessly
Somehow I forget to see that
Because I take your word so literally
Forgetting who you are and all the facts
The History is written
And through time
People have put you and your beauty in a box
Your freedom and your grace are clear to me
But I've fought for that,
I've battled for the clarity.
Why have we forgotten?
Or did we ever know
The truth of the reality of your sacrifice?
Why were you a Jew?
Who are the chosen people?
And how did that turn into a church and a steeple?
We have a veil over us,
So often we are blind
The obvious demise of North American mankind
The comforts of our riches leave us fulfilled to a degree
That we don't search for more and therefore fail to see
Its not about the riches or the things we feel we need
It's my heart and your grace flowing through me
Your love and your forgiveness, your dying for my sin
Has brought everlasting freedom deep within me
So as you come to bathe the wounds from the guilt of my past
I guess its come to this and finally at last\
I hear the truth surround me and see the darkness cease
You're wonderful, creative, endlessly in time
Beauty from my ashes and the king of all sublime
The healer of the broken, the lover of my soul
And ultimately and perfectly you came to make me whole.
