I am so frail
I am so delicate
With this my meager house of flesh
I can barely carry on
I am so blind
I am so faithless
These fragile eyes can’t even see the love
The Father has for me
But deep inside my soul there is a longing
Reminding me of things I haven’t seen
Where pain and suffering turn to love
In a place that flesh can’t reach
And somehow we’re getting closer every day
I am not wise
I am so foolish
I’ll never know a fraction of the things
That I could ever learn
But I’m content
To be a child
And know the foolish thoughts of God
Over the wisdom of a man
‘Cause deep inside my soul there is a longing
For a place where every pain was worth the fight
Where my questions fade to memories
While I’m dancing with delight
And somehow I͛m getting closer every day
This world’s not right
This world is broken
This isn’t how things are supposed to be
At all
Our spirits ache
With cracks and bruises
And it’s a miracle that any
One of us can stand at all
But deep inside my soul there is a longing
For a place that I am crying for tonight
Where the hope I cling to in the dark
Will be seen in glorious light
And somehow it’s getting closer every day
This world’s not right
This world is broken
This isn’t how things are supposed to be
At all
