elusive and ephemeral
emotions run in kind
with nothing to sustain them
so soon they fall behind
(chorus)
joy
surround me
carry me away
a stain upon the looking glass
a pall upon the air
a veil to obscure
the crimson shade our faces bear
guilty eyes betray gloved hands
the reddened palms of every man
consumed in doing all we can
to hide away the shame
(chorus)
grace
release me
unfettered and alive
tumbling through the endless blue
for want of my own name
tried and true or torn in two
revealed in You again
a mirror to reflect my size
eclipsed by all You are
a blade among the amber waves
a mote among the stars
my noblest thoughts and best laid schemes
useless gestures, fleeting dreams
I stand too wretched to redeem
and cast myself away
(chorus)
love
affirm me
bewildered and amazed
tumbling through the endless blue
in search of my own name
tried and true or torn in two
revealed in You the same
