In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Put forth, by the hand of God
it was He
chosen to go?
How I've act, yet (don't) understand?
The gift of God
Has been given by His Son
I am in Christ
the son of God
I am in Christ
no longer condemned
I am in Christ
the son of God
I am in Christ
resurrected
Who can be against me
Who can compromise
The power of He is resting
It will glorify
Laid back, before your eye
It can only come this way
The price is paid by His blood
All I ask is who am I?
I am in Christ
the son of God
I am in Christ
no longer condemned
I am in Christ
the son of God
I am in Christ
resurrected
The lines I have
The lines of faith
The lines of pain and true belief
God has come
The time has come
to take hold of the promise
of the promise
of the promise
The time has to come to take hold
of the blood
of the blood
of the blood
it was He
chosen to go?
How I've act, yet (don't) understand?
The gift of God
Has been given by His Son
I am in Christ
the son of God
I am in Christ
no longer condemned
I am in Christ
the son of God
I am in Christ
resurrected
Who can be against me
Who can compromise
The power of He is resting
It will glorify
Laid back, before your eye
It can only come this way
The price is paid by His blood
All I ask is who am I?
I am in Christ
the son of God
I am in Christ
no longer condemned
I am in Christ
the son of God
I am in Christ
resurrected
The lines I have
The lines of faith
The lines of pain and true belief
God has come
The time has come
to take hold of the promise
of the promise
of the promise
The time has to come to take hold
of the blood
of the blood
of the blood

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Living Sacrifice have some of the best lyrics...Amazing song...
