Wide Eyed In Wonder
Waking wide eyed in wonder At His awful majesty
Devastated, torn asunder By love that scalds my soul til clean.
Making me a newborn creation Taking me to the bowels of being
right
Deeper into my disintegration Into a state where woe and joy unite.
With passion's fires purified With hell and heaven looking on
With the drama of the ages as my guide I'm aware there's a battle to be won.
A conflict 'tween the seen and the unseen
The challenge of the dead who are seeking daily bread
Where the quickened are at battle in a field that they must glean
And the real is still a shadow in my head.
Waking wide eyed in wonder At His awful majesty
Devastated, torn asunder By love that scalds my soul til clean.
Making me a newborn creation Taking me to the bowels of being
right
Deeper into my disintegration
Into a state where woe and joy unite.
