Jars Of Clay -Worlds Apart
from the album "Jars Of Clay"
I am the only on e 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 oceans,
more abundant than the tear
Of a world embracing ever 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 ll 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
