If feelings were true and told no lies
If thoughts could always show me how
If words could solve every mystery
Then I know that I'd be free by now
If I could coax my mortal flesh
To somehow bend to my command
To dance to every tune that's played
And refuse to move from where I stand
If feelings were true and told no lies
If fools could live on bread alone
No doubt of silly compromise
Indeed every bite would turn to stone
Who can play a tuneless song?
Who can build on the waters edge?
Everyone will fall to silence
After every word has been said
If feelings were true and told no lies
Every problem would bear a solution
Yet here we stand, eyes closed, tears hot
Floundering about in utter confusion
Seek what you will, but all seek in vain
Salvation is found in once place alone
When the foolish desires are laid to rest
And weary eyes are turned towards home
The Father is calling, lay down all guns
Peace is found in unfailing love
Thoughts must all be cast aside
In the end they will never be enough

Sweet insanity
This feels like insanity
Doesn't make much sense to me
My head always gets in the way
When I hit the ground and try to pray
So many thoughts that have no use
Breaking free and running loose
In the end what worth is that?
In the end can I look back
And say all I did was just for You
Or some other motive to try and prove
My worth to You and all who see
All this toil for the glory of me
Yes this feels like insanity
To trust in what I cannot see
Sometimes I feel You far away
And doubt will try and make me pay
This all may look ridiculous
How foolish to have such blind trust
Where words will fail actions will rise
And show the heart that lies inside
It's all of You and none of me
Though it feels like insanity
I will choose to hope in what I can't see
Yes this feels like sweet insanity
Doesn't make much sense to me
My head always gets in the way
When I hit the ground and try to pray
So many thoughts that have no use
Breaking free and running loose
In the end what worth is that?
In the end can I look back
And say all I did was just for You
Or some other motive to try and prove
My worth to You and all who see
All this toil for the glory of me
Yes this feels like insanity
To trust in what I cannot see
Sometimes I feel You far away
And doubt will try and make me pay
This all may look ridiculous
How foolish to have such blind trust
Where words will fail actions will rise
And show the heart that lies inside
It's all of You and none of me
Though it feels like insanity
I will choose to hope in what I can't see
Yes this feels like sweet insanity
