Cannot Keep You

they could not keep you in a tent

they could not keep you in a temple

or any of their idols, to see and understand

we cannot keep you in a church

we cannot keep you in a Bible

or it’s just another idol to box you in

they could not keep you in their box

we cannot keep you in ours either

you are so much greater

who is like the Lord

the maker of the Heavens

who dwells with the poor

and he lifts them from the ashes

and he makes them sit with princes

who is like the Lord

We’ve tried to keep you in our tents

We’ve tried to keep you in our temples

We’ve worshiped all our idols, we want all that to end

We will find you in the streets

We will find you in the prisons

and even in our Bibles and churches

who is like the lord

the maker of the heavens

lover of my soul

who takes me from the ashes

who heals me of my blindness

who is like the Lord
