You’ve got the world on your eyes
And its wisdom in your ears
How silly and dull you seem
In a world of unbelief
Swimming in a pool
Hard to imagine not being wet
Like living in the world
And being separate from it
And day after day you go on
Holding the world closely, pushing God off
Often not seeing clearly enough
What’s right--wrong
And day after day you go on
Holding the world closely, pushing God off
Often not seeing clearly enough
What’s right--wrong
In a world full of “experts” who refuse to appreciate
That your one of God’s creations
And what an awesome responsibility that is
In a world full of “experts” who take pains to discredit
Privilege, responsibility
If only they as well understood
Unending separation
In a world full of “experts” who take pains to discredit
The Gospel
Day after day you go on
Holding the world closely, pushing God off
Often not seeing clearly enough
What’s right--wrong
It’s a painful privilege
It’s a blessing
