jesus, i've taken my cross

all to leave and follow thee

jesus, i've taken my cross

all to leave and follow thee



i'm destitute, despised, forsaken

all to leave and follow thee

and follow thee



man may trouble to distress me

to drive my heart to the cross

yeah, man may trouble to distress me

to drive this heart to the cross



i'm resolute, reviled, forsaken

all to leave and follow thee

and follow thee



jesus

reborn

reborn

reborn

reborn



so perish every fond ambition

god and trouble are all i've known

yet how rich is my condition

god and heaven are all my own

god and heaven are all my own



rooms full of salt

fault my pluck

and a poets charm so far, ever far

little stars that burn the holes in my soul



and everything just feels like rain

the road we're on, the things we crave

and everything just feels like rain

the nights i sleep, what's left to dream

when everything feels like rain



drift as i dive

find the deep

out of reach of all light

stars, ever far

listless tides along the changing shore



and everything just feels like rain

the road we're on, the things we crave

and everything just feels like rain

if i should sleep, what's left to dream

when everything feels like rain
