Death claimed this day for its own
The life I had planned is now gone
The world around me fell
Even the air around me
Has become my own fiend
I fought, altercations I've spat
Till my body had grown weak
Cursed were the things my hands built
Barren was he ground I planted my seed
Everything meant nothing,
And in nothingness I found my new home
Loneliness and seclusion
Are my only company now
They are the only ones
That will walk this path with me
My tears, all I have for food
Woe and sorrow is my only song now
Has my faith slipped through the floor
What's left of my life, shambles in a dry well
Oh God, when did my own strides
Take precedent over your sovereignty
When did my sights flip the scales
When did I become more and you became less
This mess I made
Is a product of self-reliance
As I try to stand on these trembling legs
I lean on you
You are the only constant
In this wavering world
You are the only hope that I have
In my darkest of days
You are my strength, my peace,
When I have none
You are the satisfaction, for my emptiness,
For this emptiness
Take away everything,
Revive this contrite heart
When the wind blows dig your roots deep
Dig your roots deep
The light breeze
That once entertained these leaves
Are now vices gusting me into a heap
Now I know
I created an eclipse
All these days I've been so blind
Now I know
I cannot live with out the Son
My own desires blocking out the light
Now I know
The life I had planned is now gone
Nothing compares
Your presence is worth more
Now I know
Strip it away, nothing compares
I'd lose it all to gain everything
