We have no fences
We use his name more frequently than common conjunctions
A friend he is, but a Father as well
We love his ear, but hate the back of his hand
We’re more scared of our plane being hijacked
Or getting in a wreck coming home from work
We got this “fear” thing down pat, but what we
fear ain’t worth too much
Oh, to tremble
Oh, to quake
before the one who covers our mistakes…
We’d do good to learn he is not like us
Oh, to shudder
Oh, to fear
the one above, but right here
We’d do good to learn he is not like us
Most of our songs have that one plea,
“We want to see your face.”
That was that last thing Israel wanted…
they knew one glance would bring them to the grave
Do we know what we’re asking for?
We have no fences, no guards
About the easiest thing to do nowadays is to trample his courts
He loves a happy heart and a joyful smile,
but I wonder when’s the last time you went to church thinking you might die?
In his image, from the dust, by his hands were fashioned
but still he is not like us
We’re prone to ramble and to wander
steal, horde, and squander…
You’d think by now we’d have learned he is not like us
He is not like us
We are not like him
and he is not like us
