Matthew Clark - The Heart Of Our God Lyrics

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

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

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
