Worlds apart
>2006-04-26 - 11:31 p.m.
Oh God, I know nothing I ever do will change the fact that I am a sinner. I am selfish, prideful. I have lied, backstabbed my friends and hurt those who love me the most. Help me with my humanity.
You bought me at such a cost that I wasn't even worth. All the pain, all the heartache from being seperated from the Trinity, who would do that for me but You who loved me when I hated You. I know that by Your death on the Cross that I am made anew. You, O God, are my fortress, my hiding place. My shelter in time of weakness. Shake me, that what isn't of You will be shaken off. Let the old me die off completely. Mould me! My life is Yours and I will follow You even when I know that You are the one who brings death upon those I hold dear, even when circumstances tell me You aren't there. I will trust in You.
I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
more deeply than the oceans,
more abundant than the tears
Of a world embracing every heartache
Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - take my world apart
To need you - broken on my knees
All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now,
I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
take my world apart
