Skillet lyrics

When I was a young boy
I saw a vision of your face
I made a my first promise to you
Yeah ya know it took some time
But I love you now I realize

I am a promise maker
I am a promise breaker
On the road to faithfulness
I sometimes forget your name
But I can still see your face
And time after time
I hear you calling my name
I gotta name for me, I gotta a name,

Learning inside
I will be safe with you tonight
You cause the smile
And the teardrops in my eyes
Locked inside your every movement
Will I stand or will I fall?
Trapped inside of your walls of glory
I am just as dead leaves fall
Safe with you
Safe with you

Chaos in my head
The whole universe is at rest
When I'm in your arms
Is when I feel the best

I stand here closed and open
Praying for the summer rains
Reaching in to pull back the curtains
Ruling in this desolate land
I will let me go
My walls melt away

You have no boundaries
You cross my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders

I lie here clothed and naked
Dam bursts to cool ocean waves
Black water cleans the highway
Resting in the washing away

We take a walk in the garden
We share the fruits of life
We live beneath this canopy
Why did we take that bite?
We cover up our shame
We walk in black and white
We turn this ground for hunger
Why did we take that bite?

Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me
Paint me open eyes, Paint me with the color of love

You took a walk on the planet
You gave us shad and light

You try to answer slow
You put your head down low
C­mon take your time
Try to choose the most believable lie
You try to walk away
And tell me everything's okay
You think you­re are saved by words
But you're drowning in the absurd

But to me it's no big surprise
You thought I never saw your eyes

Departed with a smile
Just like walking down the isle

Here I lie again inside this broken body
Wrestle against the tree, my muscles aching
To get up now is death, to die is to really live
Flesh is restless, twisting, spasms in my back increasing
Splinter me, splinter me
My heart, my head
Splinter me

Here I think again to try to solve this puzzle
What is not yours I donüt want, my mind aching

Looking on the sad times, the guilt and all the shame
I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains
All the grief I've learned to set aside
'Cause I am, I am, I am
Feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?

When I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
When I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed

I ask him
When will I
Be free he
Said I am Asking him
When will I Change he said
No matter now No matter now
Saturn has a ring around it
You can never see it with your eyes
Saturn has a ring around it
Many moons know this to be true

You ask him
How can you
Be real he
Said you'll be
Knowing him
How you do
Now he says
Rest in this
Rest in this

I'm sitting with my heart out on the table
I'm doing a face to face with God
He picked up my heat and said,
What you want me to do with this?
I just blinked my eyes no smile, no laugh, no tears
No shrugging my shoulders
It crossed my mind, Yeah I got an idea
You could take my heart and put it in a padlocked box
What if they grab too hard or smash it, or throw it down

I want to pleasure in your sight
I want to subscribe to your delight

So hold on and see what I do for you
Oh by the way, did you see me dressed in my beautiful robe?
My head was bleeding so red
But all the thorns in my crown, the rose blended
Instead with my beautiful robe carries on, I'll carry on

I cut down a tree said, Man would you look at me
