Worlds Apart: Jars of Clay
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 Icharus 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 ocean,
more abundant than the tear
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
