Butterfly Lyrics by Nate Emmanuel

Neon Tetra

2022

[Intro]
But to fly like a butterfly
Nothing holding down
'Cause His love is li-li-li-light
[Verse 1]
Your love is lighter than the air I breathe
You saved me from the plight of wicked Pharisees
You saved me from the fire and the water like the child of the father
Freed my mind like the Gerasene
Raised me like "Talitha cumi"
Outta-the-tombed me and like Lazarus drew me
I didn’t know You from Adam but from Adam You knew me
And before You made an atom had decided to choose me
Uh, yoke lighter than loose leaf
Word so heavy can’t carry it loosely
Promise on top of promise that You never would lose me
From burial to aerial the day that You loosed me
[Chorus]
But to fly like a butterfly
Nothing holding down
'Cause His love is light
I did nothing right
I had nothing right
In my darkened heart
But His love is light, butterfly
[Verse 2]
Butterfly flitter through the sunbeam
Over slow stream as it glitter under low trees
And the leaves don’t wither
Full of fruit, rooted by the crystal river
What am I that You really love me though above me
That You mind me though You’re mighty
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
You pour a fountain full of sun rays
On a cloudy mountain till its countenance is Sunday
Fly, risen from the dead
Once a snared fowl and a prisoner of debt
You sowed a seed in the dry ground
And it cracked when you died but you crack sky now
In the Heir, forgiven in your death
Till I’m in the air and delivered to your rest
[Chorus]
But to fly like a butterfly
Nothing holding down
'Cause His love is light
I did nothing right
I had nothing right
In my darkened heart
But His love is light, butterfly
