i could hear the church bells ringing  they pealed aloud your praise  the members faces were smiling  with their hands out stretched to shake  it's true they did not move me  my heart was hard and tired  their perfect fire annoyed me  i could not find you anywhere    could someone please tell me the story  of sinners ransomed from the fall  i still have never seen you  and some days i don't love you at all    the devoted were wearing bracelets  to remind them why they came  some concrete motivation  when the abstract could not do the same  but if all that's left is duty  i'm falling on my sword  at least then i would not serve  an unseen distant lord    if this is ony a test  i hope that i'm passing  cause i'm losing steam  and i still want to trust you    peace be still
