Lyrics
The Poem You Write
story behind the song
Ephesians 2:10
You twist the words into rhymes,
Put just enough syllables into each line,
Turn letters into art in the blink of an eye,
This is the poem You write.
You bring a dead scene to life,
Using similes and metaphors, shadow and light,
Highlight the beauty no one else would find,
This is the poem You write.
And we
Are Your poetry,
We
Are Your masterpiece.
We are the words that You want to say.
We are the proof of how art causes change.
You fill the pages, fill the lines,
You erase and correct, taking Your time,
You're in no rush to finish Your perfect design,
This is the poem You write.
You bring the hidden into the light,
But You plan it so ev'rything will be alright
Because You are the Author, You know how to refine,
This is the poem You write.
And we
Are Your poetry,
We
Are Your masterpiece.
We are the words that You want to say.
We are the proof of how art causes change.
And poetry speaks deeper than prose
Because poetry reaches into the soul.
The imagery can be very well-known,
Still, there is something there that's never been shown.
And poetry speaks to the beauty inside,
Pulls those in darkness into the light,
Shows how listening is one of the best ways to find
Someone or something that's well worth the fight.
This is the poem You write.
This is the poem You write.
This is the poem You write.
We are the poem You write.
And we
Are Your poetry,
We
Are Your masterpiece.
We are the words that You want to say.
We are the proof of how art causes change.
And we
Are Your poetry,
We
Are Your masterpiece.
We are the words that You want to say.
We are the proof of how art causes change.
We are the poem You write.
We are the poem You write.
We are the poem You write.
This is the poem You write.
