God
of Rage
Close the window now
To the logic in your brain
You've heard the stories told
I know it sounds insane
The anger He unfolds
In the hallmarks of our faith
Of flooded earth and burned down cities
A request to kill the son of Abraham
What kind of god is this?
He seems to have a vengeance and a rage.
To find a truth that holds
Is a pursuit of rarity
A story that's not whole
Can't be seen with clarity
A god who creates man
And a woman as His own
An image He has made
So He's a god that can be known
A god that loved so much
That He gave His son
To save the ones of Abraham.
He's a god of rage all right
Of raging compassion and thunder in His steps
Of raging hearts and a raging quest to win them
Of raging seas and miracles
He's a god of rage all right
Of a raging love that is never hidden.
Never hidden far
Though we seek as though it were
One scrapes through shallow faith
To find haze beyond the blur
You shout and plead for us
Through a storm of selfless grace
To cloud our skies with You
Block the lovers that we chase
We always chase too far
And forget the One
Who's only son we ran from.
He holds us in His eyes
As one would hold his bride
He's jealous of our desires
And He wants us to see
His tireless pursuit
His unending love
His unbridled, wild
Unrelenting attempts
To capture us
To bring us back to His arms.
He's a god of rage all right
Of raging compassion and thunder in His steps
Of raging hearts and a raging quest to win them
Of raging seas and miracles
He's a god of rage all right
Of a raging love that is never hidden.
