Welcome Contradiction

Welcome contradiction

As you would an old friend

It's a gospel tradition

That builds faith, in the end

When you would ask, "How can that be?"

Trust that there is a lesson

Coming your way eventually

On the path of progression

In it every dispensation

God tried man's faith 

Asking for what's contrary 

to what the scriptures say.  

It started with Adam and Eve. 

They were told to have children.  

They were told to not eat of the tree...

What seems like a contradiction in our day?

Verse 1] Welcome contradiction As you would an old friend It's a gospel tradition That builds faith, in the end [Verse 2] When you would ask, "How can that be?" Trust that there is a lesson Coming your way eventually On the path of progression [Chorus] When the answer turns the other way And the road is hard to see Hold fast through the mystery There is purpose yet to be When the promise meets the question And your courage feels thin Walk on with faith and patience Let the lesson enter in [Verse 3] In it every dispensation God tried man's faith Asking for what's contrary to what the scriptures say [Bridge] It started with Adam and Eve They were told to have children They were told to not eat of the tree... What seems like a contradiction in our day? [Chorus] When the answer turns the other way And the road is hard to see Hold fast through the mystery There is purpose yet to be When the promise meets the question And your courage feels thin Walk on with faith and patience Let the lesson enter in [Outro] Welcome contradiction As you would an old friend What seems unclear in this moment May build your faith in the end
