Can I Be With You

Everybody each and all, we're going to die eventually
It's no more or less our fault than it is our destiny
So now, Lord, I come to You, asking only for Your grace
You know what I've put myself through,
All those empty dreams I chased

And when my body lies in the ruins of the lies that nearly ruined me
Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true
And breathe life into them and set them free?
And when You start this world over again from scratch
Will You make me anew out of the stuff that lasts?
Stuff that's purer than gold is and clearer than glass could ever be
Can I be with You?
Can I be with You?

Everybody all and each, from the day that we are born
We have to learn to walk beneath
Those mercies by which we're drawn
Now we wrestle in the dark with these angels that we can't see
We will move on although with scars
O Lord, move in me

And when my body lies in the ruins of the lies that nearly ruined me
Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true
And breathe life into them and set them free?
When You blast this cosmos to kingdom come
When those jagged edged mountains we love are gone
When the sky is crossed with the tears of a thousand falling suns
As they crash into the sea
Can I be with You?
Can I be with You?
