Song For My Family

There is a song for my family outside the walls of Sunday 
Morning from some within.This is a song to confess our sins
lay it all out, and try to begin again. To hope again.

Please forgive our ignorance in looking down on you
Please forgive our selfishness for hiding in our pews 
while the world bleeds while the world needs us to 
be what we should be.

This is a song for my family who 
Just can’t believe in the Jesus 
that you’ve seen on Sunday morning.

This is a song for the cynical saints.
The burned out and hopeless.
The ones that we’ve cast away.
I feel your pain.

Please forgive the wastefulness 
of all that we could be, but don’t 
forget, there’s more than this
Her beauty still exists

His bride is still alive
His bride is still alive
His bride is still alive
His bride is still alive
His bride is still alive

This is a song for my family inside
The walls of Sunday morning.
Be what you should be.

Dude, where did this song come from? Did you write this Josh? Talk about sharpening the sword on this one. Cuts right down to it eh? I'm anxious to hear this. Maybe you can play it for me at practice on Friday.
