"Worship"

I'm lost or broken or in a storm
And I guess I'm sinking beneath the waves
No wait, actually You're the storm
And I'm walking on water
Yeah, how could I forget
I walk on water every day

And oh, I need Your healing
Scratch that, I'd rather have the feeling
Of Your open, outstretched, loving Arms
Designed to save from harm
And pain
And suffering

I will sing a new song
I will sing a new song
But I'll keep the same beat as the last one
I'll repeat the same words as the last one
And beat to death the words of Life
Fit them in a box to sound just right
Until living streams run dry

And do you ever feel like this:
You fall down and you can't get back up?
No, I deal with doubt and pride and lust
But I guess you could just be ambiguous
Yeah, that seems to be enough

This is so positive, it's discouraging
Where's the depth of my Savior's dredge
And the death He's purging?

I will sing a new song
I will sing a new song
But I'll keep the same beat as the last one
I'll repeat the same words as the last one
And beat to death the words of Life
Fit them in a box to sound just right
Until living streams run dry

Hallelujahs come out starch
From a gilded, glossy, golden heart
Wiping off smudges with a dirty rag
When the whole thing's rusted over
Tell me where does the bleeding start?
Tell me where does His bleeding start?
Where is this everlasting peace
In a world that's falling apart?
Is it in the paycheck you get every week
In your inability to feel another person's heart?

So you will play a new song
That sounds the same as the last one
All the highs, barely gracing the lows
I'm sorry but I can't relate
Can anyone?
