A way with words A way with swords The battle rages within two worlds Bearing the burden Trapped Living Broken There’s nothing spoken to help me win Beneath the ashes There’s only thrashes Glory shines shadowed within your plan Beauty beneath me LORD I beseech thee To raise me up to break this damn The mighty dollar Trapped by its’ collar Holds freedom captive beneath its’ grasp Held under bleeding Nothing proceeding This daughter’s leading is all I ask I’m barely breathing My heart is wreathing Living Broken has kept me bound Still living helpless Set for a purpose Please King of Glory lift me out All that is Beauty Bring life back to me A worthy price for all his suffering Healing before me Father restore me A priceless crown to set before my King Too many Broken My life is spoken A sacrificial Worship offering The cost of Beauty Lost in the duty Blind to the loss of bearing your Cross I cannot repay All I owe today His bearing the burden of my Brokenness Trapped in the chaos Crushed in the process Underneath your Sovereign mighty hand One year and dying My heart is crying No lower for this girl to go down God you are able To set the table And build this work that’s lain in front of me Heaven is waiting Anticipating Yet time has become my enemy Priceless is wisdom Perfect provision Give me patience to see and set me free Spiritual warfare Always been held there Rescue me again from Satan’s hold God of all Glory Beautiful story Bring Beauty from the ashes that are Gold *****
