Take My World Apart....

I am the only one to blame for this. Somehow it all ends up the same. Soaring on the wings of selfish pride, I flew too high. And like Icarus, I collide with a world I try so hard to leave behind. To rid myself of all but love, to live and die. To turn away and not become another nail to pierce the skin of the One who loves deeper than the ocean, more abundant than the tears of a world embracing every heartache.
Can I be the one to sacrafice or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow? Take my world apart! I am on my knees- Take my world apart! I am broken on my knees. All said and done, I stand alone- amongst the remains of a life I should not own.
It takes all I am to believe, in the mercy that covers me. Did you really have to die for me? All I am for all you are because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart.
I look beyond the empty cross forgetting what my life has cost, and I wipe away the crimson stain that dull the nails that still remain. More and more I need you now, I owe you more each passing hour. The battle between grace and pride i gave up not so long ago. So steal my heart, Lord, and take this pain, and wash my feet, and cleanse my pride. Take the selfish, take the tears, the sin soaked heart and make it yours. Take my world apart. Take it now and serve the ones that I despise, speak the words i cant deny, watch the world I used to know fall to dust and blow away.
I look beyond the empty cross fogetting what my life has cost. So wipe away the crimson stain that dull the nails that still remain. So Lord, steal my heart and take my pain, take the selfish, take the pride. Take the weak and all the things I cannot hide. Take the beauty, take the tears......Take my world apart!!!
