Sign Language

Above reproach beyond all doubt

Standing blameless and called out

A sinner at the same time just

A beginner at learning how to trust

Set apart to holiness

A peculiar people he will bless

And I'm as peculiar as they come

'Cause I want His will to be done

This blessed state Christ engineered

Is beyond all effort but it's clear

As I watch for a reason for His love

I set my mind on things above

In the language of our lives

The signs are all around

For every saint's a signpost

And the signs surely abound

So let me cry such a cry of release

That the world cannot question my peace

To weep with those who weep

Wounded for them and wounded deep

So the healer can ply his craft on me

So the savior can make a sign of me

You ask for a sign well here I am

A billboard for his merciful plan!

Set apart to holiness

A peculiar people he will bless

And I'm as peculiar as they come

'Cause I want His will to be done
