I could hear the church bells ringing
They peeled aloud your praise
The member's faces were smiling
With their hands outstretched to shake
It's true they did not move me
My heart was hard and tired
The perfect fire annoyed me
I could not find you anywhere

Could someone please tell me the story
Of sinners ransomed from the fall
I still have never seen you
And somedays i don't love you at all

The devoted were wearing bracelets
To remind them of why they came
Some concrete motivation
And the abstract could not do the same
But if all that's left is duty
I'm falling on my sword
At least then i would not serve
An unseen distant lord

If this only a test
I hope that i'm passing
Cuz i'm losing steam
And i still want to trust you

Peace be still

11. The Well
12. Promise
