Between the Door and the Cross

Child, I know we've failed you
Singled you out for a thing or two
Not really concerned about
The healing God has for you
We label it all as "tough love"
Without even trying grace
It makes us feel so much better to
Point out sin in another place

I'm sorry our House is empty
We've forgotten what mercy is for
I'm sorry there is no grace cause it's
Guilt and judgement we've stored
I'm sorry we didn't pick you up
And caused you so much loss
I'm sorry we've become the stone
Between the door and cross

We've claimed you as our family
Until we find out the mistakes you've made
Only if they are mistakes we can't downplay
Cause pride upon our stages that mistake's okay
And we have no problem with slander and
Gossip built in our DNA

I'm sorry our House is empty
We've forgotten what mercy is for
I'm sorry there is no grace cause it's
Guilt and judgement we've stored
I'm sorry we didn't pick you up
And caused you so much loss
I'm sorry we've become the stone
Between the door and cross

But that's not all That's not all of us
That's not all There's a remnant of us
Who will chase you down when you've fallen short
When the holy ones chose to abort
Just like Jesus who sent Peter on his way
Restored his broken state that day
You are beautiful You are deeply loved
You are valuable You are so desired
And no one can take the anointing He gave
Even if they get in the way

Sorry our House is empty
We've forgotten what mercy is for
I'm sorry there is no grace cause it's
Guilt and judgement we've stored
I'm sorry we didn't pick you up
And caused you so much loss
I'm sorry we've become the stone
Between the door and cross

Child there are those who won't fail you
They'll pick you up and dust you off
And make a way between the door and the cross
