heath mcnease - surprised by joy (second edition) كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
his compulsion was my liberation
and my compulsion was to hit the bricks and disappear
from his pursuit but didn’t make it
why i’m hiding from the voice of something bigger
than my hatred for some christians or an organized religion
and almost out of spite i hit my knees and prayed to him
the most reluctant convert the world has seen today but still
the selfish prodigal’s return to beg his father
was his voluntary choice to be a convert, not a martyr
i was dragged into the kingdom gagged
kicking and screaming and bound
beaten down by guilt and reason
reason was loud
but he was not a reason, he was reason itself
and my defenses fell and shattered when i reached for the shelf
tried to hate him or dismiss him
burning endless wicks i barely rested
you see, the universe rings truest when you fairly test it
damascus was my tongue and spirits cry at every sentence
at every p-ssing minute, doubts diminished
now i’m with it

[hook]
joy unspeakable and full of glory
joy unspeakable and full of glory
joy unspeakable and full of glory
but the half has not been told

[verse 2]
his compulsion was my liberation
and my compulsion was to lift this infinite abyss
and praise it like a risen savior
to praise it like it ever cared for my condition
and worship golden calves i built to justify my limits
i built those babel towers
[?] my counted hours
p-ssed that i’m a coward
still convinced that i could have the power
skyscr-pers touching nothing but a false endeavor
and now we’re speaking different tongues and i’m as lost as ever
surprised by joy–impatient as the wind
mr. wordsworth’s words’ll work to shape us from within
i gave him every bit of hatred a broken atheist can give
and he gave me every bit of patience
my broken neighbors never did
i was surprised by it
i was surprised by him
and i denied him every time my tired mind eyed him
and i was right beside him
and i was dying by him
even when i said i’d rather die than try to find him

[hook]
joy unspeakable and full of glory
joy unspeakable and full of glory
joy unspeakable and full of glory
but the half has not been told

[bridge]
your grace is complete
supplieth my needs
unspeakable joy surprised me
your grace is complete
supplieth my needs
unspeakable joy surprised me

[hook]
joy unspeakable and full of glory
joy unspeakable and full of glory
joy unspeakable and full of glory
but the half has not been told

[outro]
you’re not a reason
