Can I Be With You Lyrics - Todd Agnew

Everybody, each and all 

We're gonna die eventually 

It's no more or less our fault 

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 life into them, set them free? 

And 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 

And clearer than glass could ever be 

Can I be with You? Can I be with You? 

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 in 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 life into them and set them free? 

When You blast this cosmos to kingdom come 

When those jagged edged mountains we love are gone 

When the sky is crossed with the tears 

Of a thousand falling suns as they crash into the sea 

Can I be with You? Can I be with You? 

Can I be with You? Can I be with You? 

Can I be with You? Can I be with You? 

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 life into them and set them free? 

(Can I be?) 

Will You set them free? 

(Can I be with You?) 

Will You set them free? 

(Can I be with You?) 

(Can I be with You?) 

Set me free
