S4:E14 – Only the Lover Sings: Matthew Clark, “The Way Home”

The Way Home by Matthew Clark | One Thousand Words https://www.matthewclark.net/mcwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/OTW_S4-E14-OTLS_Matthew-Clark.mp3 The Heart of Our God Matthew Clark Now I know that it’s hard to talk about   I know guilt and shame and sin  And punishment and wrath are awkward at best  And at worst unmentionable things    But we can’t just pretend like we all are ok  Like what’s under the rug doesn’t haunt us  Out of sight never did take the cancer away  And we could use some good news if we’re honest   Interlude    But it’s hard to look up at a man on a cross   Hard to feel the full weight of our glory  If it means that the good thing we each might have been  Went this wrong and now this is our story    That however far from his beauty we fell That man hanging there is the hard truth  Of what God had to do to remove the disease Of rebellion that killed all his family    BRIDGE Cause I swear you weren’t born with these chains on your arms  You were made to dance free as a song  It was not God’s intent that your life would be spent    Slowly dying alone with no hope you could find your way home    Now, whatever you’ve heard about love up till now  And whatever they say about God   Well, I don’t think you’ll find a more beautiful thing  Than a friend who would lay down his life    And I promise it’s worth it to stare down the worst  To face up to a Face crucified   If it means we can find an old highway has cleared  That leads home to the heart of our God  ©Matthew Clark 2022 , Path in the Pines Music (ASCAP)   The post S4:E14 – Only the Lover Sings: Matthew Clark, “The Way Home” appeared first on Matthew Clark.
