God has left His home and
destroyed it more than once,
But He has always returned
and built something better.
From the beginning we have
sinned,
one way or many others,
And deserve every punishment
God
considers equal to the crimes.
We have broken His commands.
We have argued He abandoned
us.
We have doubted His sovereignty.
We have worshipped other
gods.
And we have denied His existence.
God has left His home and
destroyed it more than once,
But He has always returned
and built something better.
Didn't we deserve the flood?
Didn't we deserve the exile?
Didn't we deserve the captivity?
Didn't we deserve to be
leveled?
Didn't we deserve to be
left for dead?
God has left His home and
destroyed it more than once,
But He has always returned
and built something better.
Haven't we hardened our hearts?
Haven't we plugged our ears?
Haven't we covered our eyes?
Haven't we made convenient
lies?
Haven't we made ourselves
gods?
God has left His home and
destroyed it more than once,
But He has always returned
and built something better.
God promised a new garden,
a new heaven, a new Jerusalem,
But not so much a new temple
or any such new place or thing.
What's different this last
time is
after three so dark days,
God didn’t build a thing
better,
He built instead an everlasting
Someone better.
