The Crucible

There’s a song that has never been written

There’s a melody gasping for breath
There's feelings and sounds that are silent
There’s a love that is stronger than death

The night takes the words right out of my mouth
The stars shine into my soul
And this terrible something that I can’t explain
Is slowly making me whole

And I'm lost - and I’m shouting
I’m hurt - and I’m doubting
I’m found - and I’m speechless
I’m filled - with Your completeness, Oh Lord

There is good that has never been paid for
There is wrong that has never been right
There’s a cold heart of hearts down in me somewhere
That needs to be washed in the light

The loneliness makes my love overflow
And spill out like tears on the ground
And the words of this song that has never been written
Are leading me on, around and around

And I'm lost - and I’m shouting
I’m hurt - and I’m doubting
I’m found - and I’m speechless
I’m filled - with Your completeness, Oh Lord
