The inner life

The inner life

by Joel Howard

The inner life 

is where it's at

The bottom of the pile

Not the very top hat

Your inward emotions

Contain a key

To unlocking potential

and setting you free

My people, says the Lord your God

Have healed their wounds lightly

My leaders, says Christ the Son

Have barely scratched the surface

Now I'm undone!

The inner life

Is where its at 

The center of the earth

Not the surface of the land

Your inner thoughts

Hold a key

To unlocking your future

And setting others free

My people, says Jesus Christ

Have washed their vessels on the outside

My shepherds, says the Lord your God

Have done a poor job 

Of being clean inside

I'm jealous for your heart

I'm jealous for your attention

I'm jealous for your prayers

O My people

I'm waiting for your heart

I'm waiting for your attention

I'm waiting for your prayers

O My people
