Worlds Apart -- Jars of Clay

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 a charus i collide

with 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 tear
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 apart
to need you -- i am on my knees
to love you -- take my world apart
to need you -- 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
