Have You Heard?

Joshua Hyslop


You have come along
Provided thus far for yourself a song
That will guide you in health

You don’t know this heartbreaking hell
That I know, but I promise you will

You have strung along
Your thoughts on the side
You have laid awake at night
And you’ve cried, “It’s not fair.”
But then tell me, what is?
If he’s there, well then why’s there all this?

Have you heard what they are calling you now?
Have you seen all the unsaid and somehow
Should I stand up for a God I can’t feel with my hands
If I long for what’s real?

And if we could see
The deeds that we’ve done
We would stand ashamed
And know we’ve not won.
Who are we to expect any more, when we lie
And then walk out the door?

Have you heard what they are calling you now?
Have you seen all the unsaid and somehow
Should I stand up for a God I can’t feel
With my hands if I long for what’s real?

Have you heard what they are calling you now?

Have you seen all the unsaid and somehow
Should I stand up for a God I can’t feel
With my hands if I long for what’s real?
