It is so that my have born a withered fruit The sun has scorched the rising plans, alas have no root The bones of animals bound by leather strips Dance through the air with laughter as I wield wicked whip
As you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my So easily I disparage, self-seeking the of my art And there you have to me, at the moment I bathe in my sorrow So in love with myself, sought avoiding tomorrow
Where do you the love to offer he who betrays you? And offer to my feet as I offer to disobey you beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail So faithfully and dutifully I award you betrayal
The weak and the down trodden fall on legs As I walk a smile I cast, fervor in my stead But my bones like plastic, do buckle now I lay in this by Judas', anticipate the plow
I cannot be forgiven, my wages will be For those more lovely and is least among the saved And would I fit, Jesus? What place is left for me? The price of atonement is more than I've to offer up as my plea
Jesus, my is all I have to give to you, so weak and so unworthy This simply will not do, no alabaster jar, no in the rough For your body that was broken, how can be enough? By me you were abandoned, by me you were
Yet in your arms and in your heart I have stayed Your glory illuminates my life, and no darkness descend For you have lived forever and your love will end
