Has blistered deep beneath my bones

(Cruel, cruel world)
The forgeries of life deceiving
Nervosa now felt more ashamed than ever before
Cold and coiled, black and deep
When I survey the wondrous cross
I dreamt that love would never die, goodbye
Where evil burns and never sleeps
And still beneath it all I dreamt
By bitter grief and anguish sore
Dear God, I dreamt that I could fly
As it called me ever further

Sorrow and love flow mingled down
And pour contempt on all my pride

Forever and forevermore
To Christ, who won for sinners' grace
Calcified, the concrete weighed me down
I am the worst of all things here
Still spits its bitter fear, fear
Dear God, I had dreamt that I could fly

Beneath the somber sky
And each and every sparrow
Through my lips passed eulogies

And still the ghost of hope was haunting
Fragile things I've never spoken
And as I glided to the ground
Even after seeing the horrible things I have done?
And I long to be with you
I had a dream I was alive
Alkaline the burning frost
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
(So light)
See from His head, His hands, His feet
Through the dark to save the living
Your wings are holding up the sky
I once had prayers that found no words
Why would you still care enough to save me
My richest gain I count but loss
That God could be forgiving
My crooked, black and lying heart

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
They flutter to the ground before they die
Dreams were cheap and hope was easy
For all the oaths that I have broken

Your wings are holding up the sky
I have been with you all along, you have not noticed me
(So bright)
Because, here is where you are, the Lamb said softly
So please God don't forget me

And winter spat its hatred
On which the prince of glory died
Why do you remain here even now? She asked, sobbing
(So long)
Be praise from all the ransomed race
