One life is all I am

One tear in the dropping rain

One voice in the sea of pain

Stuck here in an ocean, ankle deep

With waves crashing over my feet

And the water is risin’ quick

How long must I pray?

How long must I wait?

How long till I see Your face?

One more person in the sea of faces

One more heart in this broken world

One more cry added to all the chaos

Stuck here in this sea, oh so deep

With the tide rushing over me

And lack of air to breathe

When did love become so unmoving?

When did love become so uncomsuming?

Do you hear the sound of my breaking heart?

One thorn in your crown

One drop of sweat upon Your brow

One nail in Your wrist

Stuck in this life, ashamed and disgraced

With sin in this heart

And barely enough strength to stand

One more person repenting their sins

One more person seeking your grace

One more person down on their knees

Stuck here, broken from within

With sparks flying as light meets the dark

And a new creation is made

Will You hold my heart?

Will You be my every desire?

Will You consume me like a fire?

You, Oh Lord, are all the reasons we have to change.
