The Point of Friction

I’ve felt their lives slip through my fingers, now I watch them circle the drain

with breath like the torrent they sink to the bottom

I’ve wasted so many chances, my efforts not a drop in the barrel

with a body like a boulder I sink to the bottom

(Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now? Where is your mercy?)

I’ve shown my teeth (Where is your mercy?) and have had them kicked in one too many times (Where is your mercy now?)

In my yearning (where is your mercy?) He split the rock, and the water gushed forth

A voice keeps yelling, a voice keeps yelling

”This is where your proud waves end!”

My fingers trace lines, on the surface i’m consumed.

The sinking feeling, the sinking feeling

"This is where your proud waves end!”

I take my first step, and i’m thrown over the edge

I tried to walk on the water but now I just swim

they slip through my fingers, now I watch them circle the drain

with breath like the torrent they sink to the bottom

I’ve wasted so many chances, my efforts not a drop in the barrel

with a body like a boulder I sink to the bottom

Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now? Where is your mercy?

Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now? Where is your mercy?

What grace is this that saves me? (where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?)

What grace is this that saves me? (where is your mercy?)

What grace is this that saves me? (where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?)

What grace is this that saves me? (where is your mercy?)

(Where is your mercy now? Where? Are you outside of your wrath?)

I SCREAM YOUR NAME! YOUR NAME! YOUR NAME!

Are You outside of Your wrath?

OH GOD!

Your name

and amongst the pile of dead

I see a light split the water from the heavens

I feel God glowing inside me

My heart shakes with the music of the spheres

I no longer tremble in fear

For Redemption has found me

And in Redemption comes the overflow of peace
