JACOB'S TROUBLE Lyrics: "Better Days"

"BETTER DAYS"
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
- Ephesians 4:32
"A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." - Proverbs 14:30
"A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit." - Proverbs 15:13
You've settled me in the shadow of Your wing
To lie upon the soft flowers
Set my feet down inside Your footprints
To step together across the water's sight
But the shore always changes when the waves crash in
But inside my heart is a thirsty land
That drips with desire
Pouring over a short horizon
Wilts like perishing flowers
And the petals lie resting to lie down with lions
Love has seen it's better days
Love has seen it's better days
Beneath the desert sky, past the scenery
You take my hand and carry me away past the bottom
Where the dust of life gathers in the heart
And I realize, I realize
It (purity) is too deep for me to reach
Love has seen it's better days
Love has seen it's better days
Love has seen it's better days
Seen it's better days, seen it's better days
Skipping over the mountains, running for the trees
I take a rock out of the stream and crawl out underneath
How long will I remain a man?
When will I grow back into a child?
I take a seat inside my head
Pull the statues out and I polish them
Yeah I polish them, I polish them
Yeah I polish them
Without surrender there is no love
Without healing there is no love
Without mercy there is no love
Without forgiveness there is no love
Love's gonna see it's better days
Love's gonna see it's better days
Love's gonna see it's better days
Love's gonna see it's better days
