one more small thought for today:
WORLDS APART by JARS OF CLAY.
I am the only one to blame for this. Somehow it all adds up the same.Soaring on the wings of selfish pride, I flew too high and like Icarus 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 tears of a world embracing every heartache. Can I be the one to sacrifice? Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow?
take my world apart I am on my knees
take my world apart 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
I look beyond the empty cross forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains & dull the nails that still remain
More & more I need you now, I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart & take the pain & wash the feet & cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak, & all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty take my tears the sin-soaked heart & make it yours
take my world all apart take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross forgettin what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains & dull the nails that still remain
so steal my heart & take the pain
take the selfish take the weak & all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray take my world apart
