My arm extended towards Your flame

With a candle in my hand

All my efforts were in vain

As the melted wax

Hardened over the pain

My prayers I rehearsed

But it only made things worse

All You want is conversation

Not verbose manipulation.

"Today if you hear His voice do not harden your hearts."

Through suffering we enter;

Through afflictions we'll arrive.

Long, my soul, for conversation



The shame of a child's heart that longs for one more hug

The shame of a boy's heart that wonders what he's worth



Can you replace all that was taken?

Like snow in a warm climate

These affections are out of place

I thought these long arms were designed for an embrace

Can you teach me love without restraint?

During the tragedies in life I called out to You

During the victories in life I called out to You

The reflection on the mirror distorted more and more

And as our feelings waver we're commanded to endure.

Oh, as our feelings waver we are yearning for the cure



My arm extended towards Your flame

With a candle in my hand

All my efforts were in vain

As the melted wax

Hardened over the pain

My prayers I rehearsed

But it only made things worse

All You want is conversation

Not verbose manipulation.

"Today if you hear His voice do not harden your hearts."

Through suffering we enter;

Through afflictions we'll arrive.

Long, my soul, for conversation



I will take your hand dont worry.

I AM, listen when I say:

Take your tears, faithful.

We'll sow the promise that with joy

We'll reap the suffering.

We marched down the path that led so many to their apathy,

As the winter that makes love grow cold came so violently.

It's the temperature.

It's the temperature. and its dropping.

It's dropping so low.

Despite this long winter

There before us stood an eternal flame.

It never goes out.

It will always stay the same.

The warmth of Your flames is touching my skin,

The death that precedes the new birth is a cold painful sting.
