lyrics

Is my heart in the right place? 
Is my soul still sinking down ...sinking down into the mire ever more?
 On this cold lonesome journey
 I will run and I will fall
 'Til the sunlight of your glory leads me home

  Is my heart in the right place? 
Are my tears still running down...running down this trail of fire to the sea? When your peace everlasting has declared the victory won
 And your mercy has already set me free?  

I still lift my eyes to see your alabaster hands 
Washing all my travesties away
 Through this long invitation 
From your whisper to my crawl
 Lead me on into the land of jubilee 

  The house of my division is the temple where you dwell
 Tearing down these ever sacred walls 
For that day of redemption  when the storm is breaking near 
Be my rescue, Lord my Savior, hear my call
Be my rescue
Be my rescue
Be my rescue, Lord My Savior, hear my call
