You've got the world on your eyes
And its wisdom in your ears
How silly and dull you seem
In a world of unbelief

Swimming in a pool
Hard to imagine not being wet
Like living in the world
And being separate from it

And day after day you go on
Holding the world closely, pushing God off
Often not seeing clearly enough
What's right--wrong

And day after day you go on
Holding the world closely, pushing God off
Often not seeing clearly enough
What's right--wrong

In a world full of 'experts' who refuse to appreciate
That your one of God's creations
And what an awesome responsibility that is
In a world full of 'experts' who take pains to discredit
Privilege, responsibility
If only they as well understood
Unending separation
In a world full of 'experts' who take pains to discredit
The Gospel

Day after day you go on
Holding the world closely, pushing God off
Often not seeing clearly enough
What's right--wrong

It's a painful privilege
It's a blessing
