The fracture was innocent

A miniature compromise that exploded [James 1:15]

Inside my atmosphere

And now the paradigm is shifting [John 8:34]

A good man was living here

Virtuous evidence has all but disappeared [James 2:10]

Right was wrong when wrong went right [Romans 1:22; Romans 7:15]

I'm fading

Take me away to where You are [John 14:3]

The bread that never lasts, I'm starving [Matthew 4:4]

The key is in my hand, but I'm frozen [Isaiah 52:2]

How I have so longed to see your face again [Psalm 51:11-12]

Overwhelmed I say goodbye

As the pages turn I say goodbye
|
Passing by the end of my life [2 Corinthians 5:17]

|
[Bridge]

Pages turn, memories burning away

Ashes celebrate [Hebrews 12:29]

You're washing me, consuming me [Revelation 1:5]

As I'm falling on Your sword [Ephesians 6:17]
