further up & further in

oh my god

i fall down whenever i stand, on my own.
you reach down and take me by the hand, i'm not alone.

you have drawn me back to you,
along the way forgetting all the things i thought i knew.
and you will make a way for me,
as long as i will follow on my knees.

i love you.

i love the things that you do.

i love you, oh my god.

some days run, scattered in my dim memories.
some days rest, like oceans in a bright eternity.

with your face shining like the sun,
so beautiful i close my eyes, afraid that i might run.
and times like these, with you so near,
i only, ever, want to be right here.

we'll sing a new song

your mercies are new every morning, lord.
