He Is Worthy (Christian Song Lyrics)

3 Minute Song

3 Minute Song

by Josh Wilson

I tried to write a song

And keep it three minutes long

Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt

And I've tried a thousand times

To fit God between the lines

But I'm finding out that doesn't really work

I just don't have the words to say

Cause words only get in my way

I must apologize

I have the hardest time

Finding some way to define a God

I just can't define

And even if I could

It would take way to long

If all I have is a three minute song

I've got a hundred metaphors

If I had a million more

I would never ever seem to sum this up

Besides, how can some melody

Communicate eternity?

It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

I'll never find the words to say

Cause words only get in my way

I must apologize

I have the hardest time

Finding some way to define a God

That I can't define

And even if I could

It would take way too long

If all I've got's a three minute song

I would like to dumb this down

To three chords or maybe four

But I've tried and I can't and I won't

Cause there will always be more

So I apologize

I can't seem to get it right (mmm)

I must apologize

I have the hardest time

Finding some way to define a God

I just can't define

And even if I could

It would take way too long

If all I've got's a three minute song

All I've got's this three minute song
