Have you failed to understand? Lyrics

Will you not realize? Will you not hear?

Has it not been made known from the dawn of years?

Have you failed to understand the earth's foundations,

The wisdom and truth of all creation?

You were sold for nothing, not a day goes by,

My name defamed, yet money can't buy,

For my thoughts aren't yours, my ways not the same,

As heavens above, so is my name.

Yet they seek me day by day,

Wanting to understand my way.

Though they act with righteousness in sight,

Their fasting, not pleasing in my light.

Is this the fast I choose, a day of strife?

To bend like reeds, in sackcloth life?

No, it's to break chains, set free the bound,

Share bread with the hungry, where the poor are found.

When you see the naked, will you cover their plight?

Not turn away, but embrace the light.

True fasting, true devotion lies here,

In acts of compassion, genuine and clear.

You were sold for nothing, not a day goes by,

My name defamed, yet money can't buy,

For my thoughts aren't yours, my ways not the same,

As heavens above, so is my name.

Seek deeper understanding, let your heart align,

With acts of justice, and love divine.

For then my salvation will draw near,

And my righteousness, will be clear.
