Showbread Age of Reptiles Lyrics

I am made of parts that freeze and ligaments that atrophy
Though they look they'll never see
They don't know, somethings wrong with me
Just as well, I'll never tell whats underneath my scales
I've worn too thin to honor You
My every effort fails
Bury me with Israel, and cover up my tracks
Leave not a trace of what I was
I'm never coming back
And if Your mercy falls upon he whose blood is cold
Unearth me with your hands of love and never break Your hold

The world is full of ones like me
Who need to see the Truth
But the truth is never truth in me
The Truth is only You

Jesus bless the crocodiles, forgive the cobras and all the snakes
Open up Your arms to carry all of our mistakes
Suck the venom from every bite, vomit every drop
Some of us may bite Your hand, but some of us will not
And every knee will bow before you
Each forked tongue confess
My selfishness will rot in me and I will seek your rest
Still some lizards flee from you
Ashamed of all they've been
So Jesus take myself from me, never bring it back again

The world is full of ones like me
Who need to see the Truth
But the truth is never truth in me
The Truth is only You

The world will soon become extinct
The age will pass away
And all will know that You are God
Hallowed be your name.

Jesus bless the crocodiles, forgive the cobras and all the snakes
Open up Your arms to carry all of our mistakes
Forgive the basalisk, forgive the moccasins and adders too
Have mercy on each aligator that never lived for you
I myself hatched from an egg
No wildlife from above
Just another ancient serpent that never earned Your love
Still you find me underneath the rocks and in the ground
I cower there, just short of air and never made a sound
Its true that I'm in love with You
And even in my shame
You wipe away the imperfections and take away the pain
You wrap Your loving arms around this wretched thing called me
Your love is all I'll ever need
Your love has set me free

The Truth is only You
The Truth is only You
The Truth is only You
The Truth is only You
The Truth is only You

I walk the world on insect legs
Beneath an unforgiving sun
Eat the dirt throughout my days
Born in dirt
In dirt I come undone
Messiah, born in Bethelehem won't find me lying dead
The worlds too big for him to see nor hear the things I've said
Hold me to You as I pray
Take the rest of the world away
My blood runs warm because of You
The scales fall out of my eyes

I laughed in the keep of the man with whose
My mandables are caked in trash
I thought You wouldn't recognize me in the black of soot and ash
Don't turn a deaf ear to my voice
There is one thing I want you to know
I have always loved You
Though my life has never said so

Hold me to You as I pray
Take the rest of the world away
My blood runs warm because of You
The scales fall out of my eyes

Hold me to You as I pray
Take every other thing away
My heart is breaking now for You
The scales are out of my eyes

I love You Lord
And I lift my voice to worship you
Oh, my soul rejoice
Take joy my King in what You hear
May this be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear
