Upside down kisses You’ve planted on me
Inside out hugs and rhythms offbeat
Backwards the dance steps You give to my feet
Your ways are not like mine
Sweet tasting tears You bring to my eyes
Fragrant the thorns of the rose You provide
Easy the burden where Your heart resides
Your ways are not like mine
Forever in time You have shown this is true
That our thoughts are not Your thoughts and that we are not You
A king born in a manger who died on a cross
To mere mortal minds, the picture of loss
But humility brought glory
And death brought new life
The scourged became Savior
And black turned to white
Every taste of Your mercy
Every kiss of Your grace
Brings me down to my knees
To look up in Your face
To see once again what I’ll know for all time
That Your ways are never like mine….
