worlds apart

all said and done i stand alone
amongst remains of a life i should not own
it takes all i am to believe
in the mercy that covers me

did you really have to die for me?
all i am for all you are
because what i need and what i believe are worlds apart


and i pray,
to love you - take my world apart
to need you - i am on my knees
to love you - take my world apart
to need you - broken on my knees
- jars of clay

i remember when everything looked so beautiful.
i couldn't imagine what could be so great about heaven when we have earth.

but the more i know Jesus, the more this world seems so scary, dirty, empty, dry, and lost.
i can see and feel brokenness.
everywhere.
everyone.

we are worlds apart for now. for now.
but You are in my heart.
You make me whole again.
take my world apart and fill it up with You You You.
