Apathy from Quarantine Demos by The Smallest Man On Earth
This came out of a time a great wrestling in my faith. I knew the gospel and Jesus to be powerful and moving, yet I felt like there was no juice in my heart. There was only repetition and frustration.

Lyrics
“Sing for joy you saints” is what they say to me
I know they’re right but I don’t feel a thing
If music is my gift, why can’t I sing along
No song of praise is pulsing in my heart
It seems that my love song has no soul
I can’t speak the words to my own poem
I know what I need, Your blood has paid for me
But joy is absent, no smile within
If grace has set me free to live eternally
Why do my bones feel just so dang dry
I live in the shadow of Your wings
Longing for joy in earthly things
I know there’s more, I know there’s more
Let me feel the joy under my skin
