(Verse 1)
The wiring's frayed, the engine's stalled
I’m running on empty, I stumble and fall
They said it was easy, a straight-line shot
But I'm tired and weary, in this dead-end spot
(Pre-Chorus)
And the little voice is screaming, "My way is hidden, my cause disregarded"
A worn-out complaint, a heart restarted
From the blame game, from the quick escape
It’s just an excuse, a broken shape
(Chorus)
Your God is too small for this gravity now
A whisper of power, a promise somehow
To wait on the silence, to rest in the low
To trade this old suit of weakness and go
Soar on the wings of an eagle, they say
Run without fading, walk into the day
Where do I put the trust I haven't got?
When everything I magnify is all that I'm not.
(Verse 2)
I check the mirror, but I point the finger
I’m a master of excuses, a professional lingerer
A hollow defense, a comfort I keep
While the promises of quiet are buried too deep
This Sovereign Lord, the Holy One
Did He pack up and leave when the day was done?
He calls out the stars, knows each by its name
Doesn't get tired, still burns the same flame.
(Pre-Chorus)
And the little voice is screaming, "Don't you know anything, haven't you been listening?"
The truth keeps breaking through, all glitter and glistening
Confess the bad attitude, the weight of the self
Tear down the idols I put on the shelf.
(Chorus)
Your God is too small for this gravity now
A whisper of power, a promise somehow
To wait on the silence, to rest in the low
To trade this old suit of weakness and go
Soar on the wings of an eagle, they say
Run without fading, walk into the day
Where do I put the trust I haven't got?
When everything I magnify is all that I'm not.
(Bridge)
Renew, like shedding skin in the dark
Exchange the old fire for a brand new spark
A new mercy's dropping with the break of the day
I'll give Him my strength, 'cause it's failing anyway.
(Guitar Solo - Builds intensity then drops to a quiet, hopeful riff)
(Chorus)
Your God is too small for this gravity now
A whisper of power, a promise somehow
To wait on the silence, to rest in the low
To trade this old suit of weakness and go
Soar on the wings of an eagle, they say
Run without fading, walk into the day
Where do I put the trust I haven't got?
When everything I magnify is all that I'm not.
(Outro)
Trade my strength for His.
Trade my strength for His.
(Fade out)
New mercy for a new day.
