Worlds Apart Lyrics - Jars Of Clay - Jars Of Clay

I'm 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 

With a world I try so hard 

To leave behind 

To rid myself of all but love 

To give and die 

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 

Can I be the one to sacrifice 

Or grip the spear and watch 

The blood and water flow 

To love you, take my world apart 

To need you, I am on my knees 

To love you, take my world apart 

To need you, broken on my knees 

All said and done I stand alone 

Amongst remains of a life I should not own 

It takes all I am to believe 

In the mercy that covers me 

Did you really have to die for me? 

All I am for all you are 

Because what I need 

And what I believe are worlds apart, and I pray 

To love you, take my world apart 

To need you, I am on my knees 

To love you, take my world apart 

To need you, broken on my knees, on my knees 

I look beyond the empty cross 

Forgetting what my life has cost 

And wipe away the crimson stains 

And dull the nails that still remains 

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 

I look beyond the empty cross 

Forgetting what my life has cost 

So wipe away the crimson stains 

And dull the nails that still remain 

Steal my heart and take the pain 

Take the selfish, take the weak 

And all the things I cannot hide 

Take the beauty, take my tears 

Take my world apart, take my world apart 

And I pray, and I pray, and I pray 

Take my world apart, world apart
