A Thousand Different Hues


Pains of a thousand different hues
Plight painting each and every pew
Coloring what we see with shades of red
Further harming the dying and dead

Betrayed by our fathers to slavery
Trading the pure for the unsavory
Cast out of the garden of fellowship
Forever altering our divine relationship

Vain pursuits toward man-made idols
Gladly accepting the Deceiver's bridle
Trying to steal the glory we lost
Buying our slavery our souls are the cost

Pains of a thousand different hues
Belongs to us in each and every pew
Coloring what we see with shades of blue
Ransoming sinner from the punishment due

Living for Christ, our souls he bought
Clothed in righteousness no plan or plot
Casting aside the shackles of despair
Praises of the Unmade I will always declare

Forever altering our divine relationship
Invited back into life-giving fellowship
Trading our rags for snow white and gold
Ransomed by blood, destroying sins hold

Panes of a thousand different hues
Light painting each and every pew
Coloring what we see with shades of green
Sharing the life and redemption foreseen
