Sovereignty

John Boda / 12/22/2001

Lyrics arranged and inspired from The Message Bible

This song appears on "Gold, Pearl & Precious Stones" CD

Song was written directly upon my exit from a bad church situation in which God delivered me from firstly, myself, and also from a controlling matrix of Christian sub-culture hype, legalism, and pure weirdness. This is one of my favorite songs, hopefully it will bless you. I remain a recovering Pharisee. Grace & Peace. JB

Every Cloud is a flag to your faithfulness,

Every star your hand made jewelry,

All the nations are dust, now I see & trust in your sovereignty

I've thrown myself headlong into your arms,

My frown has turned into a grin,

Oh Lord clean the slate it's on you I will wait to keep me from stupid sins.

I was a Pastor, teacher and a preacher man,

Author, composer and a real big shot,

But when it all comes down to me in the presence of deity,

I ain't so hot....and I don't know squat.

Lord your love is so meteoric,

Your loyalty higher than high,

Your purpose titanic and verdicts oceanic yet in all this nothing gets by.

I'm eager to run under your wings,

To eat at the banquet you spread,

You're a fountain of light, to the blind you give sight & true life to the walking dead!

(Chorus)

Soak me in your laundry,

And you'll make me come out clean,

scrub me into a snow white life like nothing I've ever seen.

Carry me back from grey exile

Let me soar on the wings of a dove,

A flawless performance means nothing to you only heart shattered lives in your love!

(Chorus)
