Artist: Jars Of Clay
Song: Worlds Apart

I am the only one to blame for this 
Somehow it all adds 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 give and die 

To turn away and not become 
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves 
More deeply than the oceans, 
More abundant than the tear 
Of a world embracing every heartache 

Can I be the one to sacrifice 
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow 

To love you - take my world apart 
To need you - I am on my knees 
To love you - take my world apart 
To need you - broken on my knees 

All said and done I stand alone 
Amongst 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 

And I pray, 
To love you - take my world apart 
To need you - I am on my knees 
To love you - take my world apart 
To need you - broken on my knees 

I look beyond the empty cross 
Forgetting what my life has cost 
And wipe away the crimson stains 
And dull the nails that still remains 
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 and take the pain 
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride 
Take the selfish, take the weak, 
And all the things I cannot hide 
Take the beauty, take my tears 
The sin and soaked heart and make it yours 
Take my world all apart 
Take it now, take it now 
And serve the ones that I despise 
Speak the words I can't deny 
Watch the world I used to love 
Fall to dust and thrown away 
I look beyond the empty cross 
Forgetting what my life has cost 
So wipe away the crimson stains 
And dull the nails that still remain 
So steal my heart and take the pain 
Take the selfish, take the weak 
And all the things I cannot hide 
Take the beauty, take my tears 
Take my world apart, take my world apart 
I pray, I pray, I pray 
Take my world apart 

Worlds Apart.
