But if not

But if not, do we still understand
But if not, do we still trust His hand
But if not, will you still fight
But if not, a lighthouse in night
But if not, how many will remain
But if not, will we use our brain
But if not, understanding all isn’t lost
But if not, standing regardless of cost
But if not, my conviction will not fall
But if not, I come to answer the call

Miracle of Easter

We came looking for Him in the tomb, but He isn’t there

Not realizing the truth in the words He did share

The lack of realization in what had been said

That He would truly rise in glory after being dead

Not fully comprehending until in flesh we saw

Not understanding exactly what it took to undo the law

An incomplete knowledge of the cost of grace

Of the sacrifice it would take to show love to the human race

There are still those today who refuse to believe Christ was risen from the dead

Because of their denial of the truth in the holy word to which they are led

They state it can’t be proven, I don’t understand, it can’t be true

That the Son of God would come and die to save everyone and not just those He knew

The Lord’s miracle of the resurrection would no longer be a miracle,
if everything we could prove and understand

Therefore realize that some things man was not meant to comprehend
and these things we need to trust to God’s hand

Cost to Follow

No more hollow
Cost to follow
More than me
Blind now see
Cross to bear
Gospel now share
Called to love
True north above
Beyond my feeling
Embrace the healing
Truth doesn’t change
My life rearrange
Priorities now shift
Praises I lift
Reality the same
Crying out Name
Eternity now clear
Draw me near
