OUR TALK THIS MORNING
FATHER, HELP ME ENTER INTO YOUR REST;
AS YOU PUT YOUR IRON IN MY SOUL.
THEN, HELP ME LOOSEN THIS LOGICAL GRIP
THAT MAKES ME KEEP CONTROL.
YOU SAID THAT MY TIMES ARE IN YOUR HANDS,
YOU’VE PROVEN THAT THEY ARE.
YET, EACH DAY MY ANXIOUS THOUGHTS RISE UP
AND MAKE ME LOOK TOO FAR.
TODAY THE MANNA’S THERE, ON THE GROUND,
EXACTLY AS YOU SAID.
AS I PICK IT UP AND START TO EAT,
MY MIND JUMPS SIX MONTHS AHEAD.
THIS LABOR TO ENTER INTO YOUR REST;
TO COME AND EAT WITHOUT PRICE,
IS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE;
TO STOP BEING LORD OF MY LIFE.
I’VE REACHED THE PLACE
THAT MY STRENGTH WON’T TAKE ME
TO THE PLACES YOU PROMISED ARE MINE.
I’D TAKE THE QUICK-FIX; I HATE TO BE TRAINED.
I’D SHORT-CUT IT EVERY TIME.
I LOOK IN YOUR FACE, YOUR JAW IS SET;
REGARDLESS OF WHAT I SAY.
YOUR LOVE STANDS STRONG; YOU’RE LETTING ME KNOW
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY.
I’VE FINISHED THE WORK;
I’VE RENT THE VEIL!
YET, I LABOR TO GET YOU
TO LET ME PREVAIL.
YOU WHISPER, YOU WOO, LOVE SONGS IN MY EAR.
SAFE IN MY BED, IT’S EASY TO HEAR.
THEN THE NEXT DAY BEGINS; IT’S TIME TO WALK
AND I SEE THAT THIS TRUTH IS EASY TO TALK!
GOD, I HATE CHANGE. I LIKE BEING LORD.
HOW LETHAL CHILD’S HANDS
THAT PICK UP THE SWORD. A CHILD SITTING KING,
IS A PROVEN DISASTER;
IT’S TIME TO GROW-UP
AT THE FEET OF THE MASTER.
AND NOT JUST A BEAUTIFUL RHYME THAT I HEAR.
A DEFINITE ACTION; SURE STEPS THAT STOP FEAR.
A QUESTION UNANSWERED WILL GENERATE STRIFE.
SO SUBTLE; NOT KNOWING CAN RUIN A LIFE.
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT MY WAY WON’T CONFIRM,
WHEN I’M TRYING TO TEACH YOU;
WHEN I WANT YOU TO LEARN....
DO I REALLY EXIST? DO YOU COUNT ME THAT WEAK TO TELL YOU TO ASK AND WILL I NOT SPEAK?
YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT THIS ISN’T TRUE.
YOU STILL HAVEN’T DONE WHAT I’VE TOLD YOU TO DO.
THAT’S CALLED, REBELLION; SOME SAY, UNBELIEF.
IT’S SUBTLE DECEPTION IN THE HANDS OF THE THIEF.
I’VE TOLD YOU AND TOLD YOU, LET’S REASON TOGETHER.
YOUR SILENCE ANNOYS ME; I WON’T STRIVE FOREVER!
TAKE OFF THAT OLD CROWN, THE WAY YOU’VE
BEEN TOLD!
EXAMINE IT’S SUBSTANCE; IT’S MADE OF FOOL’S GOLD.
YOU HAVE WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE AND BEAUTIFUL VISIONS
THAT WILL STAY UNFULFILLED WITHOUT MY PROVISION
OF TAKING THESE STEPS TO EXPERIENCE ME;
THAT WILL MAKE YOU GROW-UP AND PERSUADE YOU TO SEE
THAT I AM YOUR LORD; YOU MUST DO IT MY WAY.
YOU MUST KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
THE BALL’S IN YOUR COURT; I’M TIRED OF YOUR GAMES!
GET SPECIFIC WITH ME OR YOU’LL JUST STAY THE SAME.
THE CHOICES ARE YOURS; YOU’LL HAVE TO KILL PRIDE
BY EXPOSING YOURSELF; YOU PRETEND AND YOU HIDE.
YOUR CROWN OR MINE; WHICH WILL IT BE?
LIFE HANGS IN THE BALANCE;
I WANT YOU TO CHOOSE ME!!!
