Take My World Apart

There are a few things that will always have special meaning to me because of their presence when my "religion" was first becoming alive to me. The first is definitely Jars of Clay's first cd "Jars of Clay." Its sooo good. Here's some great lyrics from their song "Worlds Apart"

I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now,
I owe you more each passing hourthe battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
dull the nails that still remains
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
take my world apart
