It's not about insulation
It's not about protecting ourselves
We can't just circle the wagons
And wait for God to sort it all out
We draw deliberate lines in the sand
Keep away everyone who won't meet our demands
And miss the face of Christ in every woman and man
Oh brother, this isn’t what He had planned
It's not about medication
It's not about feeling better
We can't just put on that cross
Like it's a comfy old sweater
We numb ourselves so we won't feel any pain
Can’t sense the struggle of the blind and the lame
It's time to open our hearts up again
To the hard work of redemption and learning to walk The Way.
What about self-donation
What about giving ourselves
What if our preservation
Is just a way of refusing to help
We cannot wave these picket signs anymore
Time to start mending hurts we've long left ignored
And not give up ‘til all creation’s restored
This is what it means to walk in the way of the Lord.
