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 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-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
we're worlds apart

4 what say u?
Kate--great verses--hang in there as you, like the rest of us, find meaning from what has happened. God is still on the throne and working through even these times of trial!
I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating - YOU ROCK. What great verses - I hope they're yours. If not, I shal now be reporting you to the Plagiarism Police. And then you can report me to the Spelling Police. :-)
Love you Kate. Keep praying!!!
Well back in the day I probably could have written something like this but no, i didn't write it. Come on people - if you don't know what it is from then you have issues :) It's the best jars of clay song ever. I learned to play it on the guitar today too. Read the other verses, they are wonderful. The song is called world's apart. Look it up on google.
"guitar"? I've seen that word before, somewhere...what is that again?
Perhaps we'll have to have you share this gift with the church soon... :-)
