The Heart Of The Matter

歌詞

Old friend When did it happen? When did your eyes become dazzled by the world Instead of lit up by His light? Choices Too many voices Was there one too many battles So you gave up on the fight? Was your love for Him a decision of the mind to be changed in time? Was it really not a committed walk but rather a display of religious talk? I need to know Because I love you so If you really knew Him the way that I knew Him You would never walk away If you truly understood what His love was all about You would never shut Him out All this talk of Jesus working in our lives is nothing more than childish chatter If we don't allow Him past the mind to penetrate with depth into the heart of the matter Into the heart of the matter Old friend How did it happen? How did you take all the life He had to give and then let your praises die? Confusion Rising delusion Did you give your heart to busyness and never question why? When you discovered that from you He wanted more did you close the door? Did you decide to do it on your own and then withdraw to walk alone? I need to know Because I love you so If you really knew Him the way that I knew Him You would never walk away If you truly understood what His love was all about You would never shut Him out All this talk of Jesus working in our lives is nothing more than childish chatter If we don't allow Him past the mind to penetrate with depth into the heart of the matter Into the heart of the matter How do spiritual eyes go blind? When does deception infiltrate the mind? I know it's hard to comprehend But the choice is still yours, old friend Don't let it happen If you really knew Him the way that I knew Him You would never walk away If you truly understood what His love was all about You would never shut Him out All this talk of Jesus working in our lives is nothing more than childish chatter If we don't allow Him past the mind to penetrate with depth into the heart of the matter Into the heart of the matter
