The Composer
 |
Jennifer Main - The Composer |
I come to thee
I come to you
I come like David in Psalm 22,
Yet I am in two…
Torn between that which I want and that which I do
The apostle said it best, I do not do what I want but I do
the very thing I detest
O wretched man that I am who will deliver me from this body
of death!
I breathe fallen air;
A corrupted sphere
Marred by a nature of fear
That has coalesced with despair
Some say, “It’s not fair!”
But what is fair?
When man was created for someone higher, yet chose something
lower
Yes, I’m talking about the forbidden fruit
The root of our freedom to chose
Freedom to lose
When winning seems overrated, like scoring another point
when the game is already won.
Freedom comes with a price.
One man died so that we could have life
Just as one man died and brought upon strife
Yeah, life’s not worth living when you’re living for
yourself
Man was made to love someone higher than himself
That’s why the Creator, God, put man on a shelf
To reflect His glory, the glory of Himself
What wealth of wisdom to be put on display
The complexity of man, only a shadow of His ways
His rays, enlightening the sun to shine on the moon so that
the very sight of light at night might cause us to long for home…
Yes, man was made for something higher
Someone greater
Some event later in time
When the composer would visit his words and make them all
rhyme
