~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s not like we failed
when we went into the lab,
offering the world a new life –
the heart and soul, would they be?
It’s not like we knew
when we began this journey,
a trembling truth pouring forth,
remember, its just a story?
It’s not like we grew
when we heard the first breath
of a darkness writing its story
on the light we were meant to protect?
It’s not like we cared
when God Himself said –
listen to the still, small voice
don’t make the intellectual choice…
Playing God, where we stood
when we brought the life back, proving
we don’t know the way, the truth, the life
that comes to those who see – it’s His sacrifice
that reveals the right, the way
to make it through the darkest pain,
the way to see the glory beyond the grave,
the way to forget the shadows, seeing the grace.
Playing God, almost like the evil one
the one who seeks to devour the world
with his bloody hand – do we understand?
It is the enemy who leads us to forget the way…
It’s time to pray, to the eternal One
who makes a way – with faith, I’ll say
never let pride stand in the way,
just give it to Him, who is against all sin.
Believe in the love that can’t be brought back to life –
It is the love that comes from above, that intercedes for us,
That brings relief to us, a constant hope – unending grace,
Freeing us to know the meaning of it all…
It is love, and once understood, it is love
That will keep us from thinking we can pretend
To be little gods in this land,
Where God created everything with His hand,
Where God brought us beyond the doubts,
to the joy of always knowing – He is everlasting
He brings life eternal and that is beyond our dreams
of creating anyone or anything!
