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 Icarus I collide
In a world I've tried so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love,
To give and die
Turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of One who loved
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
Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart
So I pray,
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
And wipe away the crimson stains
And dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need You now,
I owe You more each passing hour
Battles between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
And wash my feet and cleanse my pride
Take the selfish, take the weak,
And all the things I cannot hide
Take my beauty, take my tears
This sin-soaked heart, 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 blow away
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
And wipe away the crimson stains
And dull the nails that still remain
Take my beauty, take my tears
This sin-soaked heart, make it Yours
And all the things I cannot hide
Take my beauty, take my tears
Take my world apart, yeah take my world apart
And I pray, I pray, I pray
Take my world apart
