Ignorance is Bliss

We send our prayers to God expecting them to be answered in an instant

So fast, we don’t take the time to listen

We speak our first words, expecting them to be His

But we’re moving so fast that we don’t even know what His will is

So how can we know if His will is what we follow

When all of our prayers seem to be so hollow

Trying to please ourselves and not God’s pleasures

Trying to live for all these earthly measures

Trying to flee from all of the storms

But maybe these are opportunities for His light to form 

But we just want to live in the darkness

Just trying to satisfy our own selfish wishes

Like we can do it all on our own

While, in reality, it was only through Him that we’ve grown

But we just try to take all the credit

Never occurring that we only have it because God spoon fed it

But we continue to live so arrogant

And to this fact we are all so ignorant

Thrusting our judgement on everyone we see

Never looking at the men we came to be

We say that we trust in the Lord, but when the storm hits we fear

Like we have completely forgotten that He is here 

So to us He calls our, “Ye man of little faith”

Because if we can’t trust in Him then the faith is fake

We are all racing to our lives peak

Never taking the time to listen to Him speak

So after it all His will we still miss

And our excuse is that ‘ignorance is bliss’
