They tried to keep you in a tent
They could not keep you in a temple
or any of their idols to see and understand
We cannot keep you in a church
We cannot keep you in a Bible
Or it's just another idol to box you in
They could not keep you in their walls
We cannot keep you in ours either
for You are so much greater
who dwells with the poor?
He lifts them from the ashes
and seats them among princes
We've tried to keep you in a tent
We've tried to keep you in our temples
We've worshiped all their idols
So we will find You in the streets
And we will find You in the prisons
And even in our Bibles and churches
who dwells with the poor?
He lifts them from the ashes
and seats them among princes
Cannot contain the glory of Your name
Cannot contain the glory of Your name
Cannot contain the glory of Your name
You took me from the ashes
and You healed me from my blindness
