lyrics

there comes a time in life when one must choose
whether it's best to resist and refuse
or to accept the outstretched hand of truth
that's been reaching out to rescue you

it seems so basic from our point of view
but in the mire I know, it's not so easy to construe

it's better to be caught up with You
it's better to be nearer still than hidden from Your view
for when all we think we're due we find was made to lose
it's better to be caught up here with You

we tend to cling to branches with no fruit
with our bellies aching for some food
and all the while below us in plain view
awaits a feast prepared for me and you

it seems so basic from our point of view
but in our hunger I know, it's not so easy to construe

it's better to be caught up with You
it's better to be nearer still than hidden from Your view
for when all we think we're due we find was made to lose
it's better to be caught up here with You

hollow words and empty bottles
line the paths of broken-hearted
fending for a numbing agent
to quell the fear with more complacence
all the while One calls out to us
whose blood was shed in loving-kindness

it's better to be caught up with You
it's better to be nearer still than hidden from Your view
for when all we think we're due we find was made to lose
it's better to be caught up here with You
