C Am
EDEGE
Confused enough to know direction
The sun eclipsed enough to shine
My wings don't sail me to the sky Be still enough to finally tremble
On my own these wings won't fly And see enough to know I'm blind
Jesus told me so And see enough to know I'm blind
Still I'm not so sure that I know
Should the world rely on faith tonight
Can't find no rest for my soul
Can't find no rest on my own
Jesus told me so
Still I'm not so sure that I know
Man, the trouble is
We don't know who we are instead
I'll keep runnin' the other way
My heart ain't built to stay
My heart ain't built to stay
And the world just ain't that way
My heart ain't built to stay
My heart ain't built to stay
Jesus told me so

D G
Speak - say the words that no one else will ever say
It looks a lot like givin' up
Love - love like the world we know is over in a day
Peace we bring is a bitter cup
Set our bodies down like offerings
I'm gonna show you love in every language
While we pray to the god of lesser things
I'm gonna speak with words that need no form
I'm gonna give you what you never had before
If the wind should shake this house apart
The cradle hits the ground with a broken heart
You're beautiful and I am weakened by the force of your eyes
Will we say we never knew a thing?
So shine bright to separate the truth from the lies
While we pray to the god of the lesser things
I'm gonna show you love
Is there grace for a wayward heart?
I'm gonna show you love in every language
Is there grace for a wayward heart?
I'm gonna speak with words that need no form
Grace, grace
I'm gonna give you what you never had before
Ash to ash and dust to dust
Em G
Steel on steel or rain to rust
So tie me to a tree and let the smoke and ash collect
What mortal breath blood money brings
No, I won't regret to let love do what love will let
Forth from the altar of the lesser things
We can drown in mixed emotions or walk across an angry sea
This is the cost of being free
