The Altar of My Shadows cover art

Letra

[Verse 1]
I have carried quiet questions
Through the corners of my chest
Every room inside is aching
Every light is half at best
I have tried to fix the fractures
With my trembling
With my plans
Now I’m standing in the silence
Empty-hearted
Open hands

[Chorus]
Here on the altar of my shadows
Where all my failed tomorrows lie
I lay it down
I lay it down
Every unanswered why
Here where my sorrow meets Your mercy
And every tear falls into grace
I lay it down
I lay it down
You meet me in this place

[Verse 2]
All the prayers that felt like echoes
All the waiting in the dark
You have walked me through the warfare
You have wept inside my heart
I can’t carry what I’m holding
So I bring what I can’t bear
Every burden
Every memory
I surrender in this prayer

[Chorus]
Here on the altar of my shadows
Where all my failed tomorrows lie
I lay it down
I lay it down
Every unanswered why
Here where my sorrow meets Your mercy
And every tear falls into grace
I lay it down
I lay it down
You meet me in this place

[Bridge]
If all I have to give You
Is breaking in my bones (oh Jesus)
If all I have is weakness
You will make it home
You’re singing in my grieving
You’re healing as I bow
What I thought was only ending
Is where You’re starting now

[Chorus]
Here on the altar of my shadows
Where all my failed tomorrows lie
I lay it down
I lay it down
Every unanswered why
Here where my sorrow meets Your mercy
And every tear falls into grace
I lay it down
I lay it down
You meet me in this place
