Redefined

November 28, 2006

Tangled up so long in this

ugly mess I've made

every sin surrounding me

in every different shade

finding my identity in

someone else's eyes

then screaming as they turn from me

but never heed my cries

dirty and alone I'm left

with nothing but dry tears

color drained out from my face

running from my fears

broken in a way I've never

had to be before

losing faith in every time

You said I'd be restored

I crawl onto an altar

and beg for this to end

clenched fists in desperation

at last now You descend

You kill my every sorrow

and douse me in Your life

I drink in all your presence

and let go all my strife

You spill out all Your beauty

and call me redefined

as You pour out Your colors

they spill outside my lines
