So can we stop pretending, like You aren't or in this room (or in this place)?
Some far off notion; to spoken of, but never spoken to and then forgotten
If we don’t covet presence then can it be withheld?
Withhold the Spirit, and all we are left is just noise of all our intentions,
that hold no meaning without that small voice, we are all just fools
And it becomes: if we worship the stones, then what is the point?
We sang the artist’s songs, but denied the artist in His house
Can it be wasted? Can it be faked?
As it was given, can it be withheld?
That small voice won't be denied
Take back our voices
Take back these walls
Renew Your Bride, so we can hear
Let us hear the words
“Withhold fury
Renew, redeem!”

What looks like filth in our eyes, shines as bright as the sun in my Father’s
Unloved
Unlovable
They stand behind the doors
They dwell among the darkest parts
Could we be them?
Are they too far gone?
Condemned
Forgotten
Unwanted
Inhuman
But the question remain, where does "us" begin and end with "them"?
Do children pick their siblings?
Do we decide who's human?
Can we give our best to the worst?
What looks like filth to our eyes shines bright as the sun in my Father’s
Are we too far gone?
Can we love the unlovable?

Tighten your tie, brush off your suit
The camera awaits for your decree
You preach
Ethic over righteousness
Power over humility
You preach your fear
You preach from your fear
You stand before thousands and declare your moral heart "true"
But the stains that cover it’s intention give way to destruction, and your tongue becomes the noose that the perfect plan was hung upon, and we all failed to miss
You have turned a scarred, open hand into a lovely closed fist
And we all used that fist to crush the backs of our brothers
Never meant to be like this, the Word used as an axe
So remove us from the conversation (so we can bear witness)
He says
I Am the one who makes all things right
I Am better than this counsel of wolves

An extension of the path You laid
An image the vic’try You gave to all us and in response
We say "we don’t need this!
We don’t need your intercession!
The will of man can overcome, our resilience will truly save us
And we see goodness in ourselves
A solution that does not require, the submission of our will"
Without fear of the darkness
With the knowledge at hand
That death was robbed of it's virtue, no longer guiding all of our plans
Becoming the body left behind
For glory, to prepare the by and by
And reunite with the Bride
"Woe is us
The storms break down the doors
If we stay quiet then our future is secured behind walls
If we are comfortable, then aren't we truly blessed?"
A new lense has been placed on our eyes
A new heart to replace the lie
That this ended when the stone was rolled in place
We see goodness, what is real is a poor reflection
So we cant, continue pretending that our actions will match perfection
We exist to act as the next line in a conversation between a world that's truly broken and a Creator whose intention was always to heal it
