lyrics

Three years of talking; I can't ask you more
You've fought hard in my trenches
But brother, I've not settled every score
I tend to pull the stitches
An episode of panic or an unforgotten sin
I know that I'm forgiven but it's hard to take it in
It's not that I don't trust
It's just I'm spinning in my head
Is all my doubt from grieving or are demons in my bed?

There on the cross our Savior bled and died
And death, it could not hold him
I feel so spoiled fearing every tide
That mercilessly rolls in
But who's beheld His blessed face?
I love Him but it's hard
Like I've seen so much heartache
But I've never seen my Heart
Then suddenly your laughter breaks
The tension of my fears
No catch behind your kindness
You're just gentle with my tears

And when you say you love me
I don't have to guess
Cause you're giving me glimpses
Of God in the flesh

God in the flesh

"Why the existential dread?"
I say, "Cause I exist"
I don't want to go on, but I don't want to go
It's madness or the mist
But when you speak the sky could fall
And I would hardly tell
The earth's the devil's only heaven
It's our only hell

Cause when you say you love me
I don't have to guess
And you're giving me glimpses
Of God in the flesh

Help me walk this ocean cause I'm sinking like a stone
But waves are where you come alive to make His mercy known
And when you speak His Words your skyward gaze becomes my own
The Lamb is on the throne, the Ghost is in my bones
The fury of His grace burns all the weeds that I had sown
And when the smoke has settled on the glory that He's shown
I look at you walking beside me
But really you're walking me home

And your last words still haunt me:
"I love you to death"
And these days are just glimpses
Of God in the flesh

God in the flesh
