I was taking a class on bioethics and housesitting for friends who had a guitar. This song happened...and was later improved by Cj's much more interesting guitar stylings.
lyrics
People often speak of what they do not know and cannot see
As though they’re experts on the universe, and yes, that includes me.
I sit and preach about what I am far too small to understand
And vainly claim that I can span the breadth of your almighty hand.
Great Creator, how presumptuous your creatures dare to be,
That we would make you in our image, when the tragic irony
Is that we shattered your reflection in ourselves with all our sin,
Now we each fight to prove our way is right when none of us should win.
But there is one thing I do know:
You are the Lord, and who you are is not defined
By what I say or what these experts have in mind.
I praise you that you’re not what we would have designed.
You are exactly who you are, and that’s what I desire to find.
We’re directionless if we look for direction in ourselves,
Like sightless wanderers, we stumble confidently straight for hell
And all the time you’re calling out the way of life so loud and clear
But we have closed our ears so what we want as truth is all we hear.
But we can always look to you:
You are the Lord, and who you are is not defined
By what I say or what these experts have in mind.
I praise you that you’re not what we would have designed.
You are exactly who you are, and that’s what I desire to find.
You’re the one true God, the constant in our history of change.
You are perfection far beyond imagination’s mortal range.
You are most holy. You are justice. You are mercy. You are good.
Oh, please forgive me when I try to alter you, as if I could.
I love you just the way you are:
You are the Lord, and who you are is not defined
By what I say or what these experts have in mind.
I praise you that you’re not what we would have designed.
You are exactly who you are, and that’s what I desire to find.
Oh God, please show yourself to me –
You are the Lord, and who you are is not defined
By what I say or what these experts have in mind.
I praise you that you’re not what we would have designed.
You are exactly who you are.
You are that you are that you are.
And if we seek, that’s what we’ll find.
