On the outside looking in
wondering what it might have been
if Adam and Eve had chosen love for You
rather than what set creation askew
I can count on one hand those who’d know
what the following words might mean
“one foot here and one foot there
existing somewhere in between”
Not of this world
not yet of the next
can leave a person
quite perplexed
On the outside looking in
Your truth has opened my eyes
this jewel has lost its luster
I watch its own demise
One foot here and one foot there
and a passage that I’ve yet to earn
not of this world, not of the next
for my sake You help me not to yearn
Your work is not yet completed
and it’s Your timing not mine
I am Your humble servant
who's faith says it will all be fine
Inside and outside
around and about
above and beyond
there’s no single doubt
a plan is in place to restore this fine gem
and whether I’m here or there
or existing somewhere in between
there will be a day when we convene
I await Your son, my dear Father
And the day all evil will be destroyed
for those who sow in tears
will reap with shouts of joy
