Bilingual
They turn their faces when we speak
Cross the street, call us weak
Say our hope is outdated fire
A crutch for fools and broken choirs
They roll their eyes at words like truth
Say faith is fear in Sunday clothes
We're too loud for quiet rooms
Too slow for a world that only moves
ย
They say we chose the losing side
That grace is weakness dressed in lies
They isolate us, mark us strange
Say love like this will never change
They tell us keep it to ourselves
Hide our crosses, shelve our songs
We don't belong, we don't fit in
We're ghosts inside the shape of things
They call us addict, they call us orphan
They call us widow, they call us harlot
They call us failure, they call us useless
They call us finished, they call us ruined
But He calls us chosen, He calls us known
He calls us children, He calls us home
He calls us righteous, He calls us clean
He calls us written in eternity
ย
They say we're wasting precious breath
Believing life outruns the grave
They say our joy is self-deceit
A bedtime story we still need
They tell us we're on borrowed time
That hope like ours will fade and fall
But we have heard another voice
That speaks through loss and silence all
They call us stubborn, they call us broken
They call us backwards, they call us hopeless
They call us bigots, they call us narrow
They call us blind, they call us shallow
But He calls us beloved, He calls us free
He calls us heirs of royalty
He calls us forgiven, He calls us raised
He calls us faithful by sovereign grace
Every name they gave us falls quiet at His feet
Every scar they counted becomes a testimony
What the world called wasted, He calls redeemed
What the world called dying, He calls a seed
They called us lost, they called us nothing
They called us dust and left us running
But He calls us sons and daughters, He calls us His
He calls us worthy because of Christ
He calls us loved beyond all measure
Called by name, called forever
Not by our worth, but by His Son
Let them call us what they will
ย
We know the voice that names us still
