Flesh and Bone

Last night I went to one of my favorite intimate venues to see Ethan Pierce perform!

It was amazing. His newest song which he performed last night had me in tears. It was so raw, stripped open, and honest that I could not hold back my emotions. It is not often that a song speaks so honestly about the reality of who we are and what needs to happen to get past ourselves. I was already amped up from the amazing night of worship I had before, but then this put me over the edge into that place where truth is so real and in your face that it leaves you ripped open and numb. It has been on my heart all day and I wanted to share it with you.

Flesh and Bone

Oh Lord, I fear surrender

I fear Your splendor King

Oh God, I'm scared of our face

So afraid of Your grace on me

Oh and I just want to be free

Oh Lord I know Your glory

Reaches so far beyond me

And I am so unholy

I do not even deserve to see

All that Your precious glory can be

I am flesh and bone

It seems like nothing more while I am on this earth

I am flesh and I am bone

Destined to become a part of the dirt

Oh God is this all I'm worth,

A numbered days and a burial scene?

Oh God do I have a spirit?

Do I even have a soul worth saving?

If it's so can You please save me?

And me with all these questions

All alone in venerability

It was there I felt Your presence

Like a foreign weight upon me

It was then that I became free

I am flesh and bone in my own eyes

And now I see there is so much more

If my flesh and bone be my demise

Strip it off so I am only soul

Only Yours

Only Yours

I am letting go, this is surrender

I am not my own, only Yours

I am not simply flesh and bone

There is a fire in my soul, in my soul

I am not my own, this is surrender
