Words by Dan Haseltine
Music by 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 the world 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 that 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
'Cause what I need and what I believe are worlds apart
And I pray

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
