Flesh and Bone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I met a man who walked on water
Who wore His crown like a blue collar
I met a man who treated children
Like they were ambassadors to the Kingdom
If I saw the world in Your eyes
Would it help me understand?
How You see through all our lies
Still You hold us in Your hand
I'm dying to believe
I'm trying just to show
That we're less than perfect
More than flesh and bone
People climbing trees to catch sight of You
Broken and blind searching for the truth
We're crippled by our fears and torments
Oh, Son of man, have pity on Your servants
If I saw the world in Your eyes
Would it help me understand?
How You see through all our lies
Still You hold us in Your hand
I'm dying to believe
I'm trying just to show
That we're less than perfect
More than flesh and bone
I wander and I want
Squander the riches of Your love
It's never enough for me
Oh, take this poverty and nail it to this tree
And all that's captive shall go free, I'm free
And if I saw the world in Your eyes
Would it help me understand?
That You see through all our lies
Still You hold us in Your hand
I'm dying to believe
I'm rising just to show
That we're less than perfect
Yeah, we're less than perfect
That we're less than perfect
More than flesh and bone
