Stone Tablets

There's something about ambiguity

There's tension that's hard to ignore

There's something about uncertainty

That shakes my faith to its core

Sometimes the freedom to make your own choice

Feels like a trick or a trap

I'm too afraid that the road I pick

Will prove to be one I regret

I regret

And I know that Your Spirit

Is writing Your Word on my heart

And I know that You've promised

You're with me wherever I go

But there's something about these stone tablets

I'm always finding my home there

When I'm out of my senses I grasp for consensus

To prove that I'm not all alone

When I've lost my bearings I find myself caring

About who does and doesn't agree

I hear in my mind as I take steps of faith

All the jeers that I've called out before

If the measure you judge is the measure you're judged

I shudder to reap what I've sown

What I've sown

And I know that Your Spirit

Is writing Your Word on my heart

And I know that You've promised

You're with me wherever I go

But there's something about these stone tablets

I'm always finding my home there

Longing and aching for home there

Forcing all my friends to go there

Oh, why does it take so much courage to be who You made me to be

Why is it so much easier to blend in with my surroundings

Oh, why does it take so much courage to be who You made me to be

Why does it come so naturally to be who they want me to be

Whoever they think I should be

Whatever you need me to be

When somebody questions my judgment or thoughts

All I can hear is a statement

Maybe they're growing, and growing me too

'Cause who wants to be complacent

But there's something about these stone tablets

I'm always finding my home there

Longing and aching for home there
