| Am i a barren temple
|
| Left for newer ways
|
| Of speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain
|
| Should i prepare
|
| To winter spend (?) again
|
| Of silent centuries' speech for only certain men
|
| What if i wait to find You’ve gone
|
| What if Your presence was withdrawn
|
| And i was mistaken all alone
|
| To think i could become Your home
|
| It’d be no surprise to finally know
|
| I am truly alone
|
| Come then (?) but likely sooner i’ll be alone
|
| You moved your temple
|
| Inside our bones and its (?)
|
| So hard to trust that You won’t move again
|
| For all eternity
|
| You stood with Your Father in perfect unity
|
| And when You walked the earth
|
| You only went where He led
|
| You only spoke what He said
|
| So for everything You left
|
| And all of the glory You forfeit
|
| No matter how low You were sent
|
| You still couldn’t know what it’s like to be alone
|
| Disgraced but you were never alone
|
| Betrayed but you were never alone
|
| Tortured but still never alone
|
| And nothing is worse than being alone
|
| I have been thinking hard about us trading place
|
| Maybe i can wear Your beauty if You put on my shame
|
| Jesus i’ve been trying so hard to look like You
|
| That i almost missed the worst of what i put You through
|
| You didn’t die for sins
|
| You died covered in them
|
| A prideful lying thief gasping out my final breath
|
| For that one moment
|
| You looked just like me
|
| Your Father left you
|
| And You died completely alone
|
| For me You were alone
|
| You couldn’t marry so He left You all alone
|
| No better promise than sympathy
|
| (You conquered death all alone)
|
| Cause You know the deepest of all our needs
|
| Never again, never alone |
