Aslan

I really love this Kendall Payne song. As a child, the chronicles of Narnia showed me a God who was much bigger than any Sunday School flannelgraph or picture Bible. Even now, Aslan is the best picture I have of Jesus as the Lion of Judah. "Safe? Didn't you hear what Mrs. Beaver told you? Of course He isn't safe. But He's good. He's the King, I tell you."

Don't stop your cryin' on my account
A frightening lion no doubt

Well He's not safe, no He's not safe

Are you tempted now to run away?

The King above all Kings is coming down

And He won't say the words you wish that He would

He won't do the deeds you know that He could

He won't think the thoughts you think that He should

But He is good

He is good

I know you're thirsty, the water is free
But I should warn you it cost everything

He's not fair no He's not fair

When He fixes what's beyond repair

And graces everyone that don't deserve

And He won't say the words you wish that He would
He won't do the deeds you know that He could
He won't think the thoughts you think that He should
But He is good
He is good

No one knows Him whom eyes have never seen

No one knows Him, but He knows me

He knows me

Lay down your layers, shed off your skin

But without His incision you can't enter in

He cuts deep, yeah He cuts deep

When the risk is great and the talk is cheap

But never leaves a wounded one behind

And He won't say the words you wish that He would
He won't do the deeds you know that He could
He won't think the thoughts you think that He should
But He is good
He is good
