Half-Step Down...
Careless, I am reckless
I'm a wrong-way-travelin-slowly-unraveling shell of a man
Burnt out, I'm so numb now
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner of my cold, cold heart
Lord this time I'll make it right, here at the altar I lay my life
Your kingdom come but my will was done, my heart is broken as I...
Cry___like so many times before
but my eyes___are dry before I leave the floor, oh Lord
I try___but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door
Here at the altar, oh my world so black and white
How could I ever falter
What you've shown me to be right (pre-chorus) then (chorus)
Organ Plays:
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
Just let you be who you are
Lord, who you are in me
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
Just let you be who you are
Lord, who you are in me...
Oh Lord, I... (chorus 2x then fade)
