Be With You Lyrics - Singles - Rich Mullins

Everybody, each and all, we're gonna die eventually 

It's no more or less our faults than it is our destiny 

So now Lord I come to You asking only for Your grace 

You know what I've put myself through, all those empty dreams I chased 

And when my body lies in the ruins of the lies that nearly ruined me 

Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true 

And breathe Your life into them and set them free? 

But when You start this world over again from scratch 

Will You make me anew out of the stuff that lasts? 

Stuff that's purer than gold, is clearer than glass could ever be 

And can I be with You? Can I be with You? 

And everybody, all and each from the day that we are born 

We have to learn to walk beneath those mercies by which we're drawn 

And now we wrestle in the dark with these angels that we can't see 

We will move on although with scars, oh Lord move inside of me 

And when my body lies in the ruins of the lies that nearly ruined me 

Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true 

And breathe Your life into them and set them free? 

And when You blast this cosmos to kingdom come 

When those jagged-edged mountains, the love are gone 

When the sky is crossed with the tears of a thousand falling suns 

As they crash into the sea, then can I be with You? Can I be with You
