This is a song

about letting go

about breaking down

and giving ourselves over to

Jesus Christ



'I am the only one to blame for this

Somehow it all ends up the same

Soaring on the wings of selfish pride

flew too high

and like Icaharus I collide



'In a world I try so hard to leave behind

To rid myself of all but love

To give and die



'To turn away and not become

Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves

More deeply than the oceans

More abundant than the tears

Of a world embracing every heartache



'Can I be the one to sacrifice?

Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow?



'Take my world apart

I am on my knees

Take my world apart

Broken on my knees



'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

cos' what I need and what I believe are worlds apart



'Take my world apart

I am on my knees

Take my world apart

Broken on my knees



I look beyond the empty cross

Forgetting what my life has cost

Wipe away the crimson stains

That hold the nails that still remain

More and more I need you now

I owe you more each passing hour

Battles between grace and pride

Gave up not so long ago

So steal my heart and take my pain

Wash my feet and cleanse my pride

Take this selfish dirt away

All the things I cannot hide

Take my beauty take my tears

Sin and soul its yours

Take my world apart

Take it now, take it now

Serve the ones that I despise

Speak the words I can't deny



I look beyond the empty cross

Forgetting what my life has cost

Wipe away the crimson stains

That hold the nails that still remain

Take my beauty take my tears

Sin and soul heart its yours



All the things I cannot hide

Take my beauty take my tears



Take my world apart.. Take my world apart



Its worlds apart.'
