Simplicity Simplicity is genius when it comes to serving Him
Who laid His all upon a cross to save the likes of them
Who have nothing to offer save the remnant of their souls
Remaining after many years of sin's destructive tolls
Simplicity is genius in the purpose of God's plan
To offer His salvation for the lost forgotten man
Who struggles with the demons who so long have held him down
Just hoping he will never find the love that can be found
In those who know the Saviour and the power of His name
Who know they can't resist Him when we bring to them the same
Unspeakable dimension that is found in knowing Christ
Who offers us experience not found at any price
But through that simple pleasure that we find each day in prayer
When early in the morning we rise up to meet Him there
Where everything is waiting still at rest to start the day
Without the interference that gets in devotion's way
When all the complications of our day we must pursue
Draw from us our attention to the things that we must do
And all the needs of others whom we walk with in this life
Engender consequences that can lead to greater strife
Than what the Lord would have us carry in our day with Him
When we enlist His mighty strength to help us carry them
And make them what their meant to be instead of what they are
Not burdens but His instruments that make us shine like stars
Who shine with love's simplicity for God and all He's done
In offering His greatest Gift in Jesus Christ His Son
To be to us our Saviour from the life we lived before
We found out how each morning we could learn to love Him more
And in that morning visit as He preps us for our day
As we are drawn together by His Spirit in that Way
He also makes us like Him that the world in us can see
The beauty of salvation through our chased simplicity
That seeks the good of others as our Saviour did before
That shares with them salvation that their soul is yearning for
That knows by one's experience the mighty power of prayer
Because they spent the very best of morning with Him there
Psalm 63; Mark 1:32-35
