- Sara Groves Awakening 歌詞
- Sara Groves
- Dress down your pretty faith.
Give me something real.
Leave out the thee and thou and speak to me now.
Speak to my pain and confusion.
Speak through my fears and my pride.
Speak to the part of me that knows
Im something deep down inside.
I know that
I am not perfect, but compare me to most,
In a world of hurt and a world of anger
I think Im holding my own.
And I know that you said there is more to life.
And I know
I am not satisfied.
But there are mornings
I wake up and
Im just thankful to be alive.
Ive known now, for quite a while, that
I am not whole.
Ive remembered the body and the mind,
But disected my soul.
Now something inside is awakening,
Like a dream
I once had and forgot.
And its something
Im scared of
And something
I dont want to stop.
And I woke up this morning and realized that
Jesus is not a portait.
Where stained glass windows or hymns or the tradition that surrounds us.
And I thought it would be hard to believe in
But its not hard at all.
To believe
Ive sinned and fallen short of the
Glory of God.
And Hes not asking me to change in my joy for martyrdom
Hes asking to take my place.
To stand in the gap that
I have formed
With His real, and
His sweet, and
His real amazing grace .
And its not just a sign or a sacrament.
Its not just a metaphor for love.
The blood is real and its not just a sybol ofyour faith.
So leave out the thee and thou and speak now.
