Children of a Lesser god

from No Grey Areas by Genesis

about

This is track 2 of the album. If you follow it closely, you will be led through a labyrinth - a series of questions with many answers woven in.

lyrics

It's funny just how time flies
Especially when you're trying to see through God's eyes
An infinite being; nobody could ever see Him
Nobody could ever be Him, no matter how hard we try
No matter if we live or die
Take a glimpse in that Living Liquid
Guaranteed to see your image in it
What a difference a minute made, a squeeze independently of the choices we make creating all the limits
Is prayer just a gimmick the superstitious Christians mimic
So they can say that they are speaking to His Spirit
Or is it really that they are communicating with Him
In relation, the Creator is removing every blemish?
What's the difference in a miracle and magic?
What good is a spell if a wizard doesn't cast it?
What good is a talent if you didn't know you had it?
Huh? Is the outcome of it really that tragic?
They say gracious speech is like honeycomb
They say it's sweet to the soul and healing to the bones
Do all feeling lead to wrong?
Saying there are many paths to God's like saying all roads lead to Rome
It's wrong, baseless, untrue - a lie
It's false, inaccurate - off the missile range of fire.
Our agendas - reaping all the dangers of desire
It's like cutting off the brain from the main air supply
Feeling euphoric, just a little bit
But that feeling you're for is illegitimate
Yeah! The Word of Life, He's written it
And all else is less than secondary to His glory that's preeminent

They say I made it out the fire
Or one day I'll face it like I'm David to Goliath
I feel the battle rattling inside - it's like a riot
But His presence and essence is like marshal law - Messiah (Yep!)
And I'm all right now. I'm free
Freer than the bird on a limb in the tree
That used to be caged up. He took me, I changed up
He used me - I came up. That's why I throw praise up
He's leading me to Paradise.
He sees me with the sparrow's & the parrot's eyes
Or did i roll a pair of dice.
Or is it just a pair of lies on peril ice
I'm broken and I'm paralyzed
I've got an invalid license and now I'm scared to drive
I was told that His love and blood took care price
And no condemnation for those of us in Christ
No prison, only conviction by His Spirit Who carries life

The moral of this is, truth offends. It doesn't stop being truth just because you don't like it, or you don't want believe it. Truth is, your truth is no different than my truth. Our perceptions doesn't alter or lessen the fact that the Earth isn't flat or the reality of gravity. A series of surgical alterations won't change your sex. Science can't explain away the presence of an intelligent designer who created all things in an intricate fashion. Let that crash in.
