No Kinder Savior

It's best to meet these things head on, she said

Before too much gets on your mind

Thoughts like books are piling up

Sometimes the lessons don't seem kind

The fighting feelings will get easier

The ones that make your mood stay blue

You have believed the lie for long enough

No kinder Savior comes for you

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Sing the blessings, sing them down

For the one who's ready to give up

No kinder Savior will be found

I've even tried to hear from God

He said, "Didn't Jesus love the weak?"

She said, "He was willing to give up"

That is, the man who couldn't speak

The story goes that when his tongue was loosed

Expecting cries of pent up grief

The crowd astonished by the spectacle

All heard a song of new belief

Sing a song about a higher love

That we would know it at first sight

Sing it loud and long enough

He could make it real tonight

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Sing the blessings, sing them down

For the one who's ready to give up

No kinder Savior will be found

There are few who want this narrow door

Most seekers seek a broader pass

Hoping somehow they are living up

To what any god would ask

And longing for a kinder Savior

From the tyranny of days

There already is a Savior

Yeah, He already leads the way

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Sing the blessings, sing them down

For the one who's ready to give up

No kinder Savior will be found
