Life is beautiful
because of You
ever so faithful
to see me through

You've painted my days
with all sorts of colours
because of Your grace
that is ever endless

i feel no fear
because you said "I am with You"
though not everything is clear
but to You i'll hold on to

til that day
when there's no more hunger
when nothing turns to grey
when the time is longer than forever

Remain in Your love
live to obey
fix my eyes above
to be a devoted clay.... =)

Will you think of me
instead of the comfort of this life
or that dream to be
on the mountaintop

will you think of me
instead of the fame you seek
or what others think
of who you seems to be

will you think of me
when happiness surrounds you
when the road is
at its best?

I thought of you
when i was on that hill
I was weighed down
to take away your sorrows

I was beaten
so that you may have peace

I was whipped
so that you can be healed
I was crushed and wounded
so that you may have eternal life

I have carried
ALL your weaknesses
and you are hidden
safely within my hand

(Isaiah 51-53)

JARS OF CLAY lyrics - Worlds Apart

I am the only one to blame for this
somewhow 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 tears
of a world embracing every heartache

i look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
and dull the nails that still remain

more n more i need you now
i owe you more each passing hour
the battle beween 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-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
