Todd Agnew - Can I Be With You lyrics

rate me

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?
