Lyrics

Everybody each and all


We're gonna die eventually


It's no more or less our faults


Than it is our destiny


So now Lord I come to you


Asking only for Your grace


You know what I've put myself through


All those empty dreams I chased


And when my body lies in the ruins


Of the lies that nearly ruined me


Will You pick up the pieces


That were pure and true


And breathe Your life into them


And set them free?


And when You start this world over


Again from scratch


Will You make me anew


Out of the stuff that lasts?


Stuff that's purer than gold is


And clearer than glass could ever be


Can I be with You?


Can I be with You?


And everybody all and each


From the day that we are born


We have to learn to walk beneath


Those mercies by which we're drawn


And now we wrestle in the dark


With these angels that we can't see


We will move on although with scars


Oh Lord, move inside of me


And when my body lies in the ruins


Of the lies that nearly ruined me


Will You pick up the pieces


That were pure and true


And breathe Your life into them


And set them free?


And when You blast this cosmos


To kingdom come


When those jagged-edged mountains


I love are gone


When the sky is crossed with the tears


Of a thousand falling suns


As they crash into the sea


Can I be with you?


Can I be with you?
