Better Days
Jacob's Trouble

Words by Keith Johnston
Music by Jacob's Trouble


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 its better days
Love has seen its better days

Beneath the desert sky, past the scenery
You take my heart and carry me away past the bottom
Where the dust of life gathers in the heart
And I realize it is too deep
For me to reach

Love has seen its better days
Love has seen its better days
Love has seen its better days
Seen its better days, seen its 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 is gonna see its better days
Love is gonna see its better days
Love is gonna see its better days
Love is gonna see its better days
