Jars Of Clay - Dig lyrics

rate me

I had a big idea

I had a crazy eye

I broke the sacred seal

I told a lazy lie

I've had my conscience bent

I've had my patience tried

I've been up in the desert and down by the river side

Will the eagle fly

If the sky's untrue

Do the faithful sigh

Because they are so few

Remember when I cried

Remember when you knew

Remember the look in your eyes

I know I do

And count the stars to measure time

The earth is hard, the treasure fine

To the sea, I crawl on my knees

Feel it coming in

Feel it going out

Water covers sin

Blood covers doubt

So I begin again

Again the kneeling bow

There was a time that I might have surrendered

But not now

Consult the cards to measure mine

The earth is hard, the treasure fine

To the sea I crawl on my knees

Consult the cards to measure my

The earth is hard, the treasure fine

At the sea I wait on my knees

At the sea I wait on my knees

At the sea I wait on my knees
