Gates and stone
Will not stand
When destroyer’s come
They slash and burn
And throw down stone
Leaving what was behind
How many times?
Have we built forts
To separate ourselves from God
Telling Him we will listen
Telling Him we are true
And yet living double-minded
I bend my knee
Before the Lord
Jesus knows me well
Forgive me Lord
For ignoring you
Help me to hear
Often what I hear
Is not appealing to me
So I quietly slip away
Then one day
I hear no words
Lord, what did you say?
“Obey me
Walk my way
And I will teach you again.”
