Their eyes were watching God
Considering his purposes
And making decisions
Children of blood and bone
Translating intentions
Into actions
War and peace
Fighting for supremacy
Each and every day
The color of water
In their tears
As they struggle
The Devil in a blue dress
Forever tempting
Disobedience
But the sun also rises
As they fight to do what’s right
And conquer the world
The sound and fury
Blocked out by God’s love
Shelters inner calm
It’s no Catch-22
Obeying God shapes the kind of joy
No one can snatch
