My Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts

Today, we're uploading another song from the IHM concert, My Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts.  Aimee Scozzafave is the featured soloist, with the schola adding the full choral parts on the coda.  Since this song was inspired in large part by his hospice ministry, I'll let Michael explain the story behind it.  For now, I'll simply express our gratitude to Aimee for being willing to sing this piece at the concert.  She is a phenomenal singer, and it was truly a humbling experience to have her and so many other talented singers and musicians pray these songs with us that night.  Lyrics after the jump.

My Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts

Refrain
My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways, My ways.
And as far as heaven from the earth,
I see all and understand.
But My daughter, I am with you always,
My son, all I have is yours.
Bring to Me your brokenness,
Your struggles and your fears.
I make all things new.

Verse 1
Now is the time for My people to turn to Me,
Open your hearts to salvation.
Turn to Me, call My name.

Verse 2
Just as the rains and the snow fall down from the sky,
So shall My Word come down to you,
And not return until My work is done.

Verse 3
Come to Me, heed My Word, listen and have new life;
Enter with Me a new covenant.
You will thirst no more.

Coda
All shall be well my friends, all shall be well
Friends and strangers joined as one with all My family.
Called to life again, we'll dwell in love forevermore.
Ev'rything will work out in My all consuming love.
At last we'll live in endless peace and feast on heaven's fare.
I'm the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
