Jars of Clay

Worlds Apart

A9 Bsus A9

I am the only one to blame for this

Somehow it all ends up the same

Soaring on the wings of selfish pride

I flew too high and like Icharus I collide

With a world I try so hard to leave behind

To rid myself of all but love, to give and die

A9 Bsus A9

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

(To love you)

Take my world a - part

(To need you)

I am on my knees

(To love you)

Take my world a - part

(To need you)

Broken on my knees

A9 Bsus A9

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

A9

And what I believe are worlds apart

A9

And I pray

C#mi7Bsus A(9) A(9)

On my knees

I look beyond the empty cross

Forgetting what my life has cost

A9

I wipe away the crimson stains

A9

And all the nails that still remain

More and more I need you now

I owe you more each passing hour

A9

The battle between grace and pride

A9

I gave up not so long ago

So steal my heart and take the pain

And wash the feet and cleanse my pride

A9

Take the selfish, take the weak

A9

And all the things I cannot hide

Take the beauty, take my tears

My sinful soiled heart, make it pure

A9

Take my world, it all is yours

A9

Take it now, take it now

To serve the ones that I despise (To love you)

Speak the words I can't deny

A9

Take my world a - part

(To need you)

A9

And watch the world I used to know

A9 A9

Fall to dust and blow away

I am on my knees

(To love you)

I look beyond the empty cross

Forgetting what my life has cost

A9

Take my world a - part

(To need you)

A9

So wipe away the crimson stains

A9 A9

And all the nails that still remain

Broken on my knees

(To need you)

And steal my heart and take the pain

Bsus

And take the selfish, take the weak

A9 A9

And all the things I cannot hide (To need you)

A9

Take the beauty, take my tears

Take my world apart

On my knees

(To need you)

Bsus

Take my world apart

A9 A9

And I do pray (To need you)

A9

And I pray, and I pray

Take my world apart

On my knees

A9 Bsus A9

My worlds apart
