Grace, Teach Us What We Lack Lyrics - How We Both Wondrously Perish - Being As An Ocean

Here I stand 

High strung and alone 

In the court of your Lord's most forgotten son 

Tell me witness, what's the difference between addiction to truth and conviction? 

The difference must lie in the actions 

Spread across a person's life 

Did it prove to be obsession? 

Compelled to condemn what they don't agree with 

Endlessly driven toward the "right" 

A creeping sickness afflicting the others' lives

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

With proclamations of derision and disgrace 

Instead of offering an alternate way 

You shot us in the foot before we'd even begun to race! 

Conviction stands as a guiding rudder 

Through this world's turbulence, storms, and thunder 

The helm turns according the movements of our hearts 

(This vessel dives and darts) 

See conviction wells up inside, an imprint from above 

Seeks to reject injustice and not to judge 

Works to fix the things that are broken 

Walks in humble regard to their fellow man 

And never forgets that the greatest law is Love 

The difference must lie in the actions 

(Was it out of Love or hate?) 

Did it prove to be obsession? 

(Looking at the walls you've made)

When I fell down there was no regret 

Just that lack of laughter, plus my newfound debt 

Be it freedom or a shortened spine, 

Us broken heathens have learned to lie to ourselves
