Clouds Without Water

Lyrics

We're constantly changing What You brought forth When down through the ages You carried the torch Giving life unto men Where utter death prevailed How could we forget Just Whose hands were nailed? Oh, we call ourselves Christians A name after You And then we deny You By the things that we do And we watch a parade Of broken lives crawl by For their worlds have no meaning They die wondering, "Why?" Are we clouds without water Trees with no fruit Doubly dead because we've no root Like a storm-driven sea Wandering stars Doomed for eternity to the dark Oh, we sit with our bibles All snug by the fire While a young, desperate girl Gives her body for hire Oh, we search through Your Word For the verse we love best But we hate to face those Who put our faith to the test Oh, Father, kind Father We have such a need Please, please deliver us From spiritual greed All the I, me and mine Help us let it go For the world will only know You By the love that we show Are we clouds without water Trees with no fruit Doubly dead because we've no root Like a storm-driven sea Wandering stars Doomed for eternity to the dark
