My wings don't sail me to the sky On my own these wings won't fly Jesus told me so Still I'm not so sure that I know

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

The ice is thin enough for walkin'The rope is worn enough to climbMy throat is dry enough for talkin'The world is crumblin' but I know whyThe world is crumblin' but I know why

The storm is wild enough for sailingThe bridge is weak enough to crossThis body frail enough for fightingI'm home enough to know I'm lostHome enough to know I'm lost

It's just enough to be strongIn the broken places, in the broken placesIt's just enough to be strongShould the world rely on faith tonight

The land unfit enough for plantingBarren enough to conceivePoor enough to gain the treasureEnough a cynic to believeEnough a cynic to believe

Confused enough to know directionThe sun eclipsed enough to shineBe still enough to finally trembleAnd see enough to know I'm blindAnd see enough to know I'm blind

Should the world rely on faith tonight

7. Show You Love

D G

Speak - say the words that no one else will ever say Love - love like the world we know is over in a day

I'm gonna show you love in every language I'm gonna speak with words that need no form I'm gonna give you what you never had before

You're beautiful and I am weakened by the force of your eyes So shine bright to separate the truth from the lies I'm gonna show you love


Em GSo tie me to a tree and let the smoke and ash collect No, I won't regret to let love do what love will let We can drown in mixed emotions or walk across an angry sea This is the cost of being free

It looks a lot like givin' upPeace we bring is a bitter cupSet our bodies down like offeringsWhile we pray to the god of lesser things

If the wind should shake this house apartThe cradle hits the ground with a broken heartWill we say we never knew a thing?While we pray to the god of the lesser things

Is there grace for a wayward heart? Is there grace for a wayward heart? Grace, grace

Ash to ash and dust to dustSteel on steel or rain to rustWhat mortal breath blood money bringsForth from the altar of the lesser things
