like and unlike

Like and Unlike Like a sword cutting through butter So Your words cut through me Like the thorn on a bright red rose So my heart is pierced in the midst of Your beauty Like the tide in the frenzy of a storm I feel like I am chaotically tossed and pulled all around But like a seed blowing in the wind I know someday I find where I belong and put my roots in the ground Like any sheep of the fold I wander at times And like any shiny coin can sometimes be hard to find But You are willing leave all that have to come and seek me out Willing to search, constantly to and fro just so the lost can be found Like any heart of flesh, mine occasionally fails Like any heart of stone, mine can be foolishly stubborn Unlike other Saviors, You always prevail Unlike other Fathers, You always fulfill what you’ve sworn. Like a mighty mountain that stands, I think I will remain forever Like a castle built in the sands, I am leveled by the rain and weather Like a lion in the safari, I hunt the gazelle and think that I am king I forget that the day shall come when I am grass, and it will be the Gazelle that is hunting me. Like any heart of stone, mine can be hard to change Like any heart of flesh, mine wishes to be free from hurt Unlike any other king and commander, you eternally reign Unlike any other Lover, you died that we might know our worth Like a calm still brook in the forest I am led by your hand Like a blue jay in trees I sing your praise joyfully in all the land Like a large fluffy cloud on a bright day, I am washed in the warmth of the Son Like a majestic eagle soaring in the sky, I ride on the wings of Your love Unlike other heart of flesh, mine is beginning to deny itself Unlike other hearts of stone, mine is coming alive Like a great and mighty healer, you heal the scars eyes can’t see Like a merciful and powerful king, you break the chains and set the captives free. Like you there is none on all the earth or in heights of heaven above Unlike anything else I’ve ever known, you are the eternal God of Love.
