Lilies

The lilies are clothed
In splendor and seen
The sparrows are fed
And heard when they sing
The mountains that rise up
Would just as soon kneel
If by their bowing
Your glory’s revealed

So how can I not
In wonder and awe
Shout with creation at the goodness of God

Relentless and wild
Extravagant love
With a fury unmatched
You came after us
Prodigal children
Redeemed and restored
To the arms of the Father
By the blood of the Son

The angels lean in
With longing to see
They don’t understand
This love’s mystery

The saints gather round
The throne and they praise
The Lion of Judah
The Lamb who was slain

So how can I not
In wonder and awe
Shout with the heavens at the goodness of God

Relentless and wild
Extravagant love
With a fury unmatched
You came after us
Prodigal children
Redeemed and restored
To the arms of the Father
By the blood of the Son

So I’ll sing to the darkness
I’ll sing til the end
I’ll sing to remember that you call me friend

I’ll sing in the battle
Til victory comes
I’ll sing for the joy that this war has been won

Relentless and wild
Extravagant love
With a fury unmatched
You came after us
Prodigal children
Redeemed and restored
To the arms of the Father
By the blood of the Son
