Passing Away

lies, the many promised brought
darkness filled, full with naught
like a dog to vomit, fools return
contempt and lust, still they burn

it longs, my soul, to live
to die, my flesh, it strive

naught expands to spread my dark
more i thought, deprave my heart
a little more, and glory, be healed
yet not but dark did darkness yield

it longs, my soul, to live
to die, my flesh, it strive

Truth, the many promises brought
broke the dawn, the light i sought
cleared my darkness, washed my sins
His grace i felt, god-me gave in

it longs, my soul, to live
to die, my flesh, it strive

love surged in my rescued soul
faith red-hot, a new stoked coal
lost it all, my life, to be healed
and not but light did I AM yield

it longs, my soul, it lives.
