lyrics

The water’s calming
The air is getting rough
The storm is patient
Dangled up above
In their deep distress, the meek are blessed
You don’t need to play it tough
These things will be made new
And they can’t come soon enough

I won’t walk on water
Until I know it’s frozen fast
And I can’t walk a mile
In shoes that didn’t last
I’ve never stood this close to heaven
See me bend beneath the grass
While I stand and wait for heaven to pass

Horizon jumped again
I haven’t looked up in a while
Plant a twig and watch the shadow
The sun is in denial
In my shyest prayer, there’s faith somewhere
Joy in every trial
A test to make me steadfast
Three gifts to let me smile

I won’t walk on water
Until I know it’s frozen fast
And I can’t walk a mile
In shoes that didn’t last
I’ve never stood this close to heaven
See me bend beneath the grass
While I stand and wait for heaven to pass

I won’t drag the rubble
Pick through the clay
Dredge the ground for things I meant to say
I’ve never stood this close to heaven
See me cling to the rain
While I stand and wait for mourning and pain
And the former things to pass away
