I refuse to praise the fleeting
Put my hope in all mankind
For the best of them shall make mistakes
And all of them will surely die
All I have made for myself
I will continue to undo
For what good is a creation
If it was not made for you?
Brothers and sisters, I beseech you!
Clear your heads and hearts of hate
For brothers, aren't you sons of glory?
And sisters, aren't you daughters of grace?
The problem is not our beliefs
And the problem is not who is right or wrong
Examine it at it's simplest form
It's about how unwilling we are to love
Show me peace that's like a river
Rippling with the ebb and flow
Of currents never touched by man
His filthy hands and crooked boats
By faith we see, by truth we're freed
By love we will perform such holy deeds
And to our backs we strap the mast
Our bodies vessels oh so faithfully cast
I've heard of the God of the house of Jacob
That grace and peace reside with him
Let us walk in the light of the Lord
For he's abolished all our sin
I felt the wind against my face
And then the trembling ground
I saw the flames, but not you there
You were residing in the sound
I gave you half and was content
You were not and took the whole
Ransom me 'til I declare
That it is well with my soul
