Lyrics:
"Lucky" you might say to be born into this abundant life When I see their sad face, I can afford to change the channel and lie to myself It wasn't I who denied their wealth So what’s it to me?
I paint the line grey and I walk it every day of my life I know when I pray I ask the Lord to intervene while I strive to avoid those piercing eyes, empty mouths, aching hearts, empty hands, reaching Who are we to pick and choose the prayers we answer and refuse? We weigh them on a scale of inconvenience I know if I were in their shoes I would resent our every move and turn a deaf ear to this so-called "savior" I stand here preaching every rule and clever catch phrase I'm told Tied up from teaching, I am a fool for never getting to know you It's not my job to judge I'm supposed to show you that God is Love and love is an action Who are we to pick and choose the prayers we answer and refuse? It's more than just a question of obedience I know if I were in their shoes I would resent our every move and turn a deaf ear to this so-called "savior" We are blessed beyond what we could ever need Are we not called to be His hands and His feet? If we ever answered, would we be scarred with the evidence of a Christian?
Who are we to pick and choose the prayers we answer and refuse? We weigh them I know if I were in their shoes I would resent our every move and turn a deaf ear to this so-called "savior"
Do you love Me? Feed My sheep
