Jesus Wept Emery

I can’t forget the water at my feet
All alone and mumbling
The only verse that I knew
Was Jesus wept (And I did too)
I gave up the drugs, but not the sex
Weekends, holidays, the cigarettes
As long as I knew I could get my fix
I could have it all I could handle it

Married a beautiful girl
Brought a child into this world
In the mirror I saw boy wanting to be a man
(You wanted a man)

I’m a wave in the sea
I’m a stone that can’t be moved
I’m a wretch drunk and forgotten
I’m a path left to choose
You’re the God of the unknown
I’m the son that was never free
You’re the life I didn’t live
You’re the trial waiting for me
(Are you what the people say that you are?
Filled with wrath worshipped always from a far
Glory to the lamb forever you are
We are the creator of all these scars)
