Radically Happy

If we want our warring to cease
We must rescue the missing piece
The shard that our souls did abject
My functioning to protect

Christ’s mandate to me and you
Is that our love must be true
And for His Lordship to prove
In unity we must move

No matter the sermons we preach
The lost of this world we won’t reach
Until they see crazy love
That only could come from above

The reason we don’t pass this test
Is fear of embracing the quest
To confront the pain and the shame
That keeps us from showing The Name

For Christendom promised a Law
That would save us from Satan’s maw
And so a dark bargain was made
That from our true self we’d be flayed

Because the Law never can save
Those on this side of the grave
And so inner peace had to die
So we could live with the lie

And that is why I cease to love
When push from this world comes to shove
The darkness trapped inside of me
Keeps me from loving you free

Yet into this prison of one
The Gospel bursts in like the sun
Enlightening each shadowed part
Reconciling them to His heart

And from this union ecstatic
Satan will flee in a panic
For lies no longer divide
Once grace has swallowed my pride

So lift up an anthem of praise
As all on His beauty now gaze
Once we take on the thick geas
To reconcile our missing peace

Today I will find the peace
Missing from my geas
