Do You Ever
Do you ever look in to the sky
Not to complain or ask for a thing
Not to question why
Do you have long talks with our savior
Ones that quickly devour an entire hour
Discussing your own behavior
Do your knees still hit the floor
Palms together, tightly tethered
Asking for nothing more
Do you ever approach a stranger
Tell them the glory that awaits in eternity
And of the opposing danger
Do you dream of his loving face
All of the blood lost as he hung on the cross
Celebrating his goodness and grace
Do you know, you're not entitled a thing
A home with power, steamy showers
Still your tithe, you should bring
Do you realize that he gave it all
Laid it out on the line so you could shine
Or do you blame him every time you fall
Do you think to give him the credit
When, through your sinning, you find yourself winning
If you forget, do you go back and edit
Do you ever dust off the good book
Read a page or two, letting knowledge accrue
Or encompass anger from what he took
Do you know deep down inside
He doesn't cause pain for your tears to rain
He has designed a plan for your ride
