An Offering in Song (3.14.10)

PDF Print E-mail


An Offering in Song by Troy McNeil, Carrie Jo Pinckard, & Amanda Hamilton
March 14th, 2010

Your ways are not my ways

that much is clear

You've set my heart ablaze

with a good and righteous fear

The Maker of the box

cannot be fit inside the box

He can't be tamed

 

I'll say it once again

You cannot be tamed

It's the wild in your eyes

and the heavy of your cross

carries my shame

 

I'd like to ask a question

and it's built around my shame

Is it true you want perfection

and you want it in your name?

 

I'll say it once again

You cannot be tamed

It's the wild in your eyes

and the heavy of your cross

carries my shame

 

What does it look like?

What does it look like?

What can I do?

What does that look like?

What does that look like?

What can I do?

 

“I have had enough of

burnt offerings of rams

I do not delight

in the blood of bulls or lambs

Cease to do evil

Seek justice

Learn to do good

and defend the fatherless”
