Through and Through

The city lights were pretty, and they called out your name

So right into the light you flew like a moth drawn to a flame

The city promised riches, endless streams of gold

Fortune and fame were yours to claim, and it would only cost your soul

And I quit waiting for you, I knew you would not return

My heart extended to you was just another bridge you burned

And there’s no way to ever get back the way things used to be

I’m ruined through and through, now that I’ve lost you

You made your decision to chase your silver dream

To go full-mast and blow right past, engines running full-steam

To you I was an anchor, I would only weigh you down

I couldn’t make you stay, only pushed you away, and you never turned around

           

So I quit waiting for you, I knew you would not return

My heart extended to you was just another bridge you burned

And there’s no way to ever get back the way things used to be

I’m ruined through and through, now that I’ve lost you

And what good did it do you, I will never know

For I can’t get any answers from a dark, cold, gray headstone

And I may have quit waiting for you, but I hoped you would not return

But my heart extended to you was just another bridge you burned

And there’s no way to ever get back the way things used to be

I’m ruined through and through, now that I’ve lost you

I’m ruined – I’m ruined through and through

Thank God for Jesus

Why do I do what I don’t want to do when I want to do what I’m not doing

Why do I keep what I don’t want to keep when what I don’t want to keep needs removing

Why do I feel what I don’t want to feel when what I do want to feel is so good

Why do I want what I don’t want to want when I don’t want to want what I should

Oh who will deliver me out of this raging sea

Who will deliver me from this evil body of death

How will I ever live the life I was born to live

There is one who will forgive, thank God for Jesus

Why do I toil, labor and spin when all of my needs are provided

Why do I worry, fret and worry again when all my journey is decided

Why do I seek what only withers away when heavenly treasure is eternal

Why do I speak and yet forget to pray when my words carry power for renewal

Oh who will deliver me out of this raging sea

Who will deliver me from this evil body of death

How will I ever live the life I was born to live

There is one who will forgive, thank God for Jesus

King of peace and righteousness have mercy on me as I confess

My dire need in every endeavor for Your great love made perfect forever

Oh You who deliver me out of this raging sea

You who deliver me from this evil body of death

You are the way to live the life I was born to live

You’re the one who will forgive, Thank You Jesus

How else could I ever be all I was meant to be

Without the one who’s forgiven me

You have forgiven me

Thank You Jesus, thank God for Jesus
