lyrics

Like a wave being lost in the sea,
his body like dust being swept away;
his beauty taken while enemies stood tall.
Standing in the rags he proudly wore,
skin shining in brightest purity,
crowned for the test he endured for me.
Standing in the promise to those he loves,
the crown of life blessed by the trial.
Lasted the test, so I make my nest:
My home my dwelling, my solid ground.
No shifting shadow, my faith will show.
The soil is deep with words of truth,
for this is where the first fruits grow.
My religion worthless unless lived true.
My will my purpose is to follow you.
Hands build a city and forget its use.
Appearance stains my mirror,
through perseverance it will fade,
and the distant echo I will see
will be your likeness covering me.
I know my heart is a beautiful mess,
taking its pride from what it can get,
never hearing your compliments.
You know how it feels to have your loved ones tear you in two, and I don’t deserve your trust ‘cause I’ve deserted you enough.
And I don’t want to break your heart again.
When selfish desire fades, maturity must win.
My home my dwelling, my solid ground.
No shifting shadow, my faith will show.
The soil is deep with words of truth,
for this is where the first fruits grow.
