Suddenly (dedicated to my father, who left too soon)
Suddenly a boy and girl with passions burning lose control Suddenly a child is born in quiet whispers Suddenly a storm approaches, dark and angry without warning Suddenly our homes are crumbling to the ground Suddenly September morning all is well beneath a New York sky Suddenly an airplane smashes into a building Suddenly our sons and daughters, weapons drawn, defend our nation Suddenly our freedoms are not taken for granted Suddenly Disruptions..interruptions These things that garner our attention Distractions…reactions Suddenly’s can tear your life to pieces The best laid plans of mice and men are subject to the will of God His hand will open up a door, to stand before Him face to face Suddenly all nations fighting, losing hope, and battle weary Suddenly a man steps up to offer peace Suddenly our eyes behold an eastern sky that tearing asunder Suddenly we’re gathering ‘round a righteous throne Suddenly If We Were God In the distance stands a planet-3rd rock from the sun Spinning carefully in circles feeding creatures on the run People screaming for an answer when they never ask the question Is there something more to this life, someone better to become? There’s a way that seems right to man But the end is the road to destruction Does the weight of the world on our hands Make us move towards the path of salvation? If we were God this world would never have a Savior We could never find the love to save mortal man If we were God creation would always be a failure We could never place our future solely in Jesus’ hands If we were God Bless the churches and the temples waving bibles end to end Filled with broken saints and sinners taking mercy for a spin Standing proudly in the courtyard passing judgment here and there Stabbing backs and throwing stones that are covered with our own sins We rejoice when one brother goes down Cause the fall makes us all feel much better Save your name, cover up your soul From the Christ who says to love one another Chorus Does the blind dream in perfect sight Can they see what our eyes cannot tell them? Look ahead what’s in store for you Praising God for being God cause He loves you My Mansion will be Empty (A love song) It started with your smile So sweet and so familiar We met with the music in place I got down on my knees And saw the tears in your eyes And asked for your love and embrace The years have come and gone and still we made it through it all Will it last for eternity? He has promised a mansion for those who are faithful Heaven’s the right place for two If somebody comes to visit me, they may not find me there My mansion will be empty, cause I’ll be spending my time with you When you give your heart, as a gift to share with someone There’s never a love without pain The chance for survival can waver like the ocean With the waves crashing in like/as pouring rain No fairy tales to lean on, just a vow within the soul That the breath that I’m breathing holds a love that last forever Chorus We have something that we share with our Creator Love is something that you live for, something that you die for Chorus |
