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
