lirik lagu phil keaggy – as the ruin falls
Loading...
all this is flashy rhetoric about loving you.
i never had a selfless thought since i was born.
i am mercenary and self-seeking through and through:
i want god, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn.
peace, re–ssurance, pleasure, are the goals i seek,
i cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin:
i talk of love –a scholar’s parrot may talk greek–
but, self-imprisoned, always end where i begin.
only that now you have taught me (but how late) my lack.
i see the chasm. and everything you are was making
my heart into a bridge by which i might get back
from exile, and grow man. and now the bridge is breaking.
for this i bless you as the ruin falls. the pains
you give me are more precious than all other gains.
