I'm A Writer In My Heart
Calvary
A memory flashed past my mind
Just a moment ago with a lyric
“I don’t ever wanna feel like I did that day”
And I told myself “yeah, but that’s up to me.”
Do you remember the night?
I was paralyzed by fear and shame
The moon hung proud and white
Behind a thin layer of October skies
Do you remember how heavy my restless heart was?
I couldn’t stay still, I wandered for hours
But could barely drag the weight down the driveway.
I could barely breathe.
Had I strength to scream, there was no way
I could have screamed loud enough to express
The shame and guilt and pain of the blood
Dripping from the hands that destroyed my life
And I don’t ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
And I consider how heavy my heart was
How I could barely contain my sin within me
And I realize my heart was just one of many
A grain of sand in the countless hearts
You carried to Calvary
You alone have kept the Earth below my feet all these years.
Though my blood runs weak, you are Strong.
Behold the Lamb of God who carries all our heavy hearts
Who carries us all to Calvary
A memory flashed past my mind

I could barely breathe.

Dripping from the hands that destroyed my life
And I don’t ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
And I consider how heavy my heart was
How I could barely contain my sin within me
And I realize my heart was just one of many
A grain of sand in the countless hearts
You carried to Calvary
You alone have kept the Earth below my feet all these years.
Though my blood runs weak, you are Strong.
Behold the Lamb of God who carries all our heavy hearts
Who carries us all to Calvary
