[Verse 1]
I can't sing that song the same way anymore
Cause I start laughing at the parts where I could only weep before
And it sounds sweeter now because the notes can't ring
Until they echo through each wasted year that You restored to me
[Chorus 1]
I've been thinking of how You wept for Lazarus
Tears on Your cheeks, resurrection on Your lips
Sometimes mercy can feel like abandonment
But You know all about it
[Verse 2]
I used to think I had to write these songs just so;
For heavens sake and for my own I put myself through hell
But I quit striving for perfection; surrendered up to it instead
And now the songs keep pouring out and I cannot contain myself
[Chorus 2]
I've been thinking of how You wept for Lazarus
Tears on Your cheeks, resurrection on Your lips
(Broken will)
Sometimes mercy feels just like abandonment
(Find your rest / Broken voice)
You let my heart die, but left Yours beating in my chest
(You sing best)
[Bridge]
At 30,000 feet above, the earth was small enough
To think of everyone I love
And then imagine them a thousand mirrors
All reflected back at once
And any light would multiply and then remind me
That Your love is more than the sum
