An Offering in Song (3.14.10)
An Offering in Song by Troy McNeil, Carrie Jo Pinckard, & Amanda Hamilton

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”
