Corey Emerson Miscellaneous Narrow God I grew up believing in an angry, vengeful God, Who had a tie-and-collar dress code And an Anglo-Saxon son. He liked His colors separate and the dirty laundry hid, He stood beside stars and stripes And built His churches big. It's a frightening God who rules this earth When He's the image of ourselves. Chorus: This world is too wide for a narrow God He came so that all could be free; When I limit His love to my school of thought, Well, that's all I've got is a narrow, narrow God. I've sat upon my throne of judgement, It's a leather easy chair, Looking down on those who've walked a mile In shoes I'll never wear. I can find justification, I can spin His words my way. But spitting hairs and self-righteous prayers Won't help me find His face. Oh, the smaller that I make myself The larger He can be. (repeat chorus) When He walked upon this earth, Everyone had a place; So why do we draw lines For the boundaries of grace? (repeat chorus) (Words and music by Steve Siler.
