Covenant

Massacres throughout the land
Blood on our hands
Bodies on the ground
Breathe no longer found
Scars on our arms
Our own bodies we’d harm
Scars on our hearts
From games we play
So deep they stay
As flesh melts away
Left with stone
Innocence gone
Why do You persist, Lord, in keeping Your covenant?
Why do You insist Your love will last forever?
What’s in it for You?
It’s a one-way street
With love flowing free
Yet no return
Investments burn
There’s no explanation
No quick calculation
No rhyme or reason
Such grace among treason
Will we ever understand
These outstretched hands
Loving testament
Heavens Covenant
