| You could plant me like a tree beside a river
|
| You could tangle me in soil and let my roots run wild
|
| And I would blossom like a flower in the desert
|
| But for now just let me cry
|
| You could raise me like a banner in the battle
|
| Put victory like fire behind my shining eyes
|
| And I would drift like falling snow over the embers
|
| But for now just let me lie
|
| Bind up these broken bones
|
| Mercy burn and bring me back to life
|
| But not before you show me how to die
|
| Set me like a star before the morning
|
| Like a sun that steals the darkness from a world asleep
|
| And I’ll illuminate the path You’ve laid before me
|
| But for now just let me be
|
| Bind up these broken bones
|
| Mercy burn and bring me back to life
|
| But not before You show me how to die
|
| No, not before You show me how to die
|
| So let me go like a leaf upon the water
|
| Let me brave the wild currents flowing to the sea
|
| And I will disappear into a deeper beauty
|
| But for now just stay with me
|
| God, for now just stay with me |
