Dear father I must first confess

that from the stone inside my chest

I have nothing to offer you



I'm shaken by your righteousness

at a loss of words to do justice

so grant me grace in silence



I will learn to love you

and abandon the rest



If your children lost their voice to sing

and fled the shadow of your wing

would you reveal yourself to us?



Crashing waves calm at your feet

but further still my body sinks

I am a man of little faith



But I will learn to love you

and abandon the rest



Not abandoned

Bound by grace we sing

You are my everything



My last breath is yours

My last breath is yours to breathe



My last word is yours

My last word is yours to speak



To love you and abandon the rest
