Clouds Without Water

We're constantly changing
What You brought forth
When down through the ages
You carried the torch
Giving life unto men
Where utter death prevailed
How could we forget
Just Whose hands were nailed?

Oh, we call ourselves Christians
A name after You
And then we deny You
By the things that we do
And we watch a parade
Of broken lives crawl by
For their worlds have no meaning
They die wondering, "Why?"

Are we clouds without water
Trees with no fruit
Doubly dead because we've no root
Like a storm-driven sea
Wandering stars
Doomed for eternity to the dark

Oh, we sit with our bibles
All snug by the fire
While a young, desperate girl
Gives her body for hire
Oh, we search through Your Word
For the verse we love best
But we hate to face those
Who put our faith to the test

Oh, Father, kind Father
We have such a need
Please, please deliver us
From spiritual greed
All the I, me and mine
Help us let it go
For the world will only know You
By the love that we show

Are we clouds without water
Trees with no fruit
Doubly dead because we've no root
Like a storm-driven sea
Wandering stars
Doomed for eternity to the dark
