Lyrics

set my weary body down
burden off this terra steel
I’m crippled from weight
Of the knowledge that I wield

And I can’t believe I do this
Can’t believe how thick I am
I think and think forever
‘til it’s more than I can stand

Only then do I remember
Only then do I perceive
What the three nails and the cross mean
As I’m bleeding on my knees

Only then do I respect Him
Only then do I please
To the Triune God who loves me
As I’m bleeding on my knees

Bleeding – only then…

I get frenzied in my want
I get desperate in my need
I get so confused sometimes
I forget what I believe

And I push myself to guess again
I feed upon the doubt
Is what’s in my heart in His Head?
I beg and plead and vow

Only then do I remember
Only then do I perceive
What the three nails and the cross mean
As I’m bleeding on my knees

Only then do I respect Him
Only then do I please
To the Triune God who loves me
As I’m bleeding on my knees

Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord, God, to me

Bleeding – only then…
