Billie Holiday on the radio
|
My sluggish heart is beating seven beats too slow
|
Another sad song and another shot of blue
|
Cold and unconcerned are anything but new
|
He said love endures all things, and it hurts to think He's right
|
If I mark the span of failure
|
Is his burden just as light?
|
|
I am, Spartan
|
Close my heart so tight
|
Jesus
|
Save me
|
From myself tonight
|
|
Limping through the world
|
There's a knowing look or two
|
Is it just the cripples here
|
Who understand the truth?
|
Why is love so painful?
|
Why do we always lose?
|
Paving pathways for the lost
|
The bitter, and recluse?
|
He said love endures all things, and it hurts to think it's true
|
Did it nail Him on a cross?
|
Did it crucify Him too?
|
|
I am, Spartan
|
Close my heart so tight
|
Jesus
|
Save me
|
From myself tonight
|
|
The angels are singing over oe'r the plains
|
The shepherds are quaking, echoing refrains
|
And all of our slogans, designed to take away the pain
|
Meant nothing to the Son of God that night in Bethlehem
|
|
I am, Spartan
|
Close my heart so tight
|
Jesus
|
Save me
|
From myself tonight
|
