Worlds Apart

wow this song is amazing. i am not much of a fan of this kind of music, my dad has the album and i have listend to it on road trips with him. but the lyrics are spectacular. my older sister hosts a fellowship group and we sing this song sometimes. i was invited to go so i did and we sang this song and i knew all the words but its sooo different once you accually think about it and sing it.

Soaring on the wings of selfish pride I flew too high and like Icarus I collide With a world I tried so hard to leave behind

man, this is like we all are, we try to do everything ourselves and get through life without god, but we are just borken and fall.

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 the battle between grace and pride I gave up not so long ago So steal my heart and take the pain and wash the feet and cleanse my pride take the selfish, take the weak, and all the things I cannot hide take the beauty, take my tears the sin-soaked heart and 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 thrown away

wow this part is sooo great as well. so many of us just foreget how much God did for all of us, he is the creator of everything and he died for us! i cant comprehend that. and its amazing because once you start to get back with god you realize your world is turing to dust, nothing matters anymore but god.
this song changed my life, and also just how we try and try but we cant get through life, we just need God so much, it makes me hurt when other people cant see that. god is super

"I am the only one to blame for this, somehow it all adds up the same, soaring on the wings of selfish pride i flew too high, and like icarus i collide."

Icarus flew too close to the sun and his fake wings melted and he fell. when soar too far on our pride, it always turns out the same way, we end up falling.

"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 tears of a world embracing every heartache"

This pessimistic world that dwells on every heartache has a huge abundance of tears. Jesus loves us way more than that. His love is stronger than our pain. Why can't the world see that?

This is my favorite song too. However I believe the line is "dull the nails IT still remains" meaning that no matter what we do we can't escape our salvation (the "crimson stains") anyway that's what i think it says.

This is my favorite song ever!

This is my favorite song too!!!!!!!! I know EVERY SINGLE word by heart

This is my favorite song too!!!!!!!! I know EVERY SINGLE word by heart

quite the lenten song, don't you think?

This is the BEST song in the world! Everyone should know this song. It really means a lot to me.

i love this song! when i really listened to it i started to cry it's sooo great i know the words by heart.

The melody on this and every other Jars Of Clay song is awsome, the harmonies are really really pretty, the guitar is awsome as usualy and the lyrics are to good to even explain, this has to be the most broken songs ever, broken as in admitting they are a sinner and just exposing themself to the good lord. If you haven't heard the StringTown Version I suggest you either download it or get the album because they play it so awsome live. When i heard it done live I started to cry because i was doing some stuff i shouldn't have been involved in, and this song honestly ripped my life apart. Rory
