Reality Prayer

(album: Pleased To Meet You - 1995)

There's a veil across the land, not a wide veil
One as black as the sin by which it was created
And it covers every corner of the world
Can it be lifted? Lord, I sure hope so

Men trying to be of God are on their knees
And they are asking for the Father's hand
With doubt in their voice as they've yet to see
Their own type of delivery

And they talk to their Father in so many formalities
They were taught that way I guess, it seems
I just wish the child left in us would find its way out
Crying, 'Please, please, oh daddy, please'

If faith so small can move mountains
Can we not believe enough to be set free?
Whoa, we need to be free
Oh, we need to be free

You know He tore the veil once
He can tear it again
And He can bring us in
From the reign of sin
And He can do everything
That we have ever hoped for
And He can do things
That we never could comprehend

Oh, He is our God, He is almighty
As the Holy One
He is our God, He is almighty
As the Holy One
Oh, He is our hope, He's our salvation
The one thing to cling to
You are our God, You are almighty
You're the Holy One

You are our God, You are almighty
You're the Holy One
Jesus, You are our God, You are almighty
You're the Holy One
