I used to dream that I could fly
|
Just above the whispered clouds, beneath the somber sky
|
I had a dream I was alive
|
I dreamt that love would never die, goodbye
|
Dreams were cheap and hope was easy (so light)
|
The forgeries of life deceiving (so bright)
|
And as I glided to the ground (so long)
|
Calcified, the concrete weighed me down (cruel world)
|
|
Your wings are holding up the sky
|
Dear God, I had dreamt that I could fly
|
|
Alkaline the burning frost, has blistered deep beneath my bones
|
And winter spat its hatred, cold and coiled, black and deep
|
As it called me ever further, where evil burns and never sleeps
|
I once had prayers that found no words, fragile things I've never spoken
|
Through my lips passed eulogies for all the oaths that I have broken
|
And still the ghost of hope was haunting, through the dark to save the living
|
And still beneath it all I dreamt that God could be forgiving
|
|
Your wings are holding up the sky
|
Dear God, I dreamt that I could fly
|
|
When I survey the wondrous cross
|
On which the Prince of glory died
|
My richest gain I count but loss
|
And pour contempt on all my pride
|
|
I am the worst of all things here
|
My crooked, black, and lying heart still spits its bitter fear
|
And each and every sparrow
|
They flutter to the ground before they die
|
So please God don't forget me
|
|
''I have been with you all along, you have not noticed me.'
|
Nervosa now felt more ashamed than ever before.
|
'Why would you still care enough to save me
|
even after seeing the horrible things I have done?
|
Why do you remain here even now?' She asked, sobbing.
|
'Because, here is where you are,' the Lamb said softly,
|
'And I long to be with you.''
|
|
See from His head, His hands, His feet
|
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
|
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
|
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
|
To Christ, who won for sinners' grace
|
By bitter grief and anguish sore
|
Be praise from all the ransomed race
|
Forever and forevermore
