What I'm Listening To...

"I Will Not Walk Away" by Michael Card from his Hidden Face of God album.

I made the Man of Sorrows sorry
by all my foolish lies.
I drove the nails, I raised the cross -
I was the reason that He died.

Utterly unfaithful then
I added anger to my sin.
In a world already dark to me
I closed my eyes and would not see.

So I may kick and I may scream,
say many things I do not mean,
hold blindly to what is not true -
but I will not walk away from You

Just why I choose to disobey
I simply cannot tell.
Why I blame You when I rebel
and weep for wounds I give myself.

Then screaming at an empty sky
I search for You and wonder why
though I cause You so much agony
You refuse to walk away from me.

Don’t read me pointless poems, friend.
Don’t diagnose. Don’t condescend.
Though you may be right to disagree,
I need someone to weep with me.

I made the Man of Sorrows sorry
by all my foolish lies.
I drove the nails, I raised the cross -
I was the reason that He died.

So I may kick and I may scream,
say many things I do not mean,
hold blindly to what is not true -
But I will not walk away from You.
