Jars of Clay lyrics?
John J. Har
Hey, does anyone know the actual lyrics for the Jars of Clay song,
"Worlds Apart"? I have the CD with the printed lyrics, but as you may
know, there are some verses/bridge that are not printed in the cover. It
starts with the line:
I look beyond the empty cross ...
I've got most of that written down, but there's one line I can't figure
out for the life of me. Here's what I understand so far (of the unwritten
lyrics):
...
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
???? <---- I can't figure out this line
Take my world all away
Take it now, take it now
...
Anyway, thanks in advance to those who can help.
Oh, please send an (additional) email response to me
(joh...@aimnet.com).
In Christ,
John.

Worlds Apart Ad-lib:
The following is the ad-lib
that Dan sings in the bridge section of "World's Apart".
A few of you have requested this- sorry it took so long.
"I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
and wipe away the crimson stains
and dullen nails that still remains.
More and more I need you now,
I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
and wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak,
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world all apart
take it now, take it now
and serve the ones that I despise
speak the words I can't deny
watch the world I used to love
fall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains
and dullen nails that still remains
so steal my heart and take the pain
take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things I cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I pray
"take my world apart"

Hmm, a need provided by God before I really even asked. At the JoC
show last night, "Worlds Apart" really hit me intensely, especially
the ad-lib part. I was going to ask somebody to repost the lyrics
this afternoon, and they were already here waiting for me. God's
cool.
