Bare To the Bone

Here I am without a message Here I stand with empty hands Just a spirit tired of wandering Like a stranger in this land Walking wide eyed through this world Is the only way I've known Wrapped in hope and good intentions Bare to the bone There is nothing I won't show you Nothing I can hide I have risked it all and dreamt it all And seldom questioned why You took me in when I was hungry When my spirit ached and groaned Laid wide open and defenseless And bear to the bone So when I rise I rise in glory If I do I do by grace Time will wash away these footprints And we'll leave without a trace Between here and now and forever Is such precious little time? What we do in love and kindness Is all that we leave behind When my eyes are slowly fading And the light is softly waning And the evening sun is setting And the world is barely breathing It is then your voice can call me And your hands can lead me home Like a newborn awed and naked And bare to the bone So when I rise I rise in glory If I do I do by grace Time will wash away these footprints And we'll leave without a trace Between here and now and forever Is such precious little time What we do in love and kindness Is all we ever leave behind Here I stand without a message Here I am with empty hands Just a spirit tired of wandering Like a stranger in this land Walking wide eyed through this world Is the only way I've known Wrapped in hope and good intentions Bare to the bone Wrapped in hope and good intentions Bare to the bone
