On Distant Shores
~Five Iron Frenzy
I have been scarred so deep by life and cold despair,
and brittle bones were broken far beyond repair.
I have leveled lies so deep,
the truth may never find.
And inside my faithless heart,
I stole things never mine.
If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor,
Dear Father I will see you there on distant shores.
I have toiled for countless years and ever felt the cost,
and I've been burned by this world's cold,
like leaves beneath the frost.
On my kness I crawled to You,
bleeding myself dry.
But the price of life is more,
than I could ever buy.
If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor,
Dear Father I will see You there on distant shores.
And off of the blocks, I was headstrong and proud.
At the front of the line for the card-carrying, highbrowed.
With both eyes fastened tight, yet unscarred from the fight.
Running at full tilt, my sword pulled from its hilt.
Its funny how these things can slip away, our frail deeds, the last will wave good-bye.
Its funny the hope will bleed away, the citadels we build and fortify.
Good-bye. Night came and I broke my stride,
I swallowed hard, but never cried.
When grace was easy to forget,
I'd denounce the hypocrites,
casting first stones, killing my own.
You would unscale my blind eyes,
and I stood battered, but more wise,
fighting to accelerate,
shaking free from crippling weight.
With resilience unsurpassed,
I clawed my to You at last.
And on my knees,
I wept at Your feet,
I finally believed,
that You stilled loved me.
Healing hands
of God have mercy on our unclean sould
once again.
Jesus Christ,
Light of the World,
burning bright
within our hearts forever.
Freedom means
love without condition,
without beginning or and end.
Here's my heart,
Let it be forever Yours,
only You can make every new day seem so new.
I have come to realize that I have drifted a distance away from God. And that things I once held in such a high place so that they won't become dirty have fallen. Tonight has been a rather painful night of realization for me. I need time away frome everything and everyone to get closer to the one thing that is the most important to every one, God. I need time to clear my head and get my priorities back in order. I need time to myself to figure some things out. So to anyone I ignore and don't really talk to for awhile I am sorry but this is something I have to do for me to be ok. I will be back just not right away.
