We Should

We should love God more
We should give our all
We should just let go
We should hear no call
But the one he makes
To our busied ears
Saying "I am God
Keep your silence here"

We should close our mouths
Let our tongues relax
Let him take the weight
From our bending backs
As he whispers peace
To our warring minds
As he lays us down
As he draws the blinds

We should walk away
From the things we love
We should be the pushed
When push comes to shove
We should lay our lives
On the altar's stones
Let the fire consume
All our flesh and bones
'Til there's nothing left
Of the life we knew
We should be destroyed
And be made anew

We should never think
That our elbow grease
Helps us bridge the gap
Gives us perfect peace
All our muscles tensed
All our striving sweat
Never could repay
The enormous debt

It is only Christ
And his dying groans
And his poured-out blood
And the displaced stone
That can free our souls
From the hell we've made
From our constant sin
Our self-killing blade
