I heard this song at church on Sunday and I have to say it hit me pretty hard. The words are insanely powerful and they've now been running through my head for 2 days. I love it when God puts things like songs into our lives to make us think a little (or a lot, like this song does). This seems to be a running theme in my life right now, so I'm loving that Michael Gungor has already put my thoughts into words for me. What songs are hitting you lately?
Song For My Family
Words and music by Michael Gungor
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.
