Chords of a Man - A Measure of Life

If true heart perfection is simply a reflection
Of a fully-following heart
Why would you leave the love you held from the start?

If love’s vain attraction would spark a chain reaction
Turning your heart far away
Could God’s own appearing infuse you with fearing you’d stray?

Could I wield all the wisdom in the world
Would it ever compare to a pearl of worth
That life plus suffering produced?
So capability follows
If gifts from above only lead to strife
Could they ever replace a measure of life?
The life a dove can supply
Issues from a measure of life

If clinging forbidden never could be hidden
From the very God that you trust
How could you yield to such indulgence in lust?

Does wisdom really matter when kingdoms fall and shatter?
Casting dominion aside
Deadly division instead of your vision abides

Could I wield all the wisdom in the world
Would it ever compare to a pearl of worth
That life plus suffering produced?
So capability follows
If gifts from above only lead to strife
Could they ever replace a measure of life?
The life a dove can supply
Issues from a measure of life
