EmAm I a barren temple left for newer ways
AmC
Of speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain
Em
Should I prepare to winter spend again
AmCAm-single strum
Of silent centuries' speech for only certain men
Em
What if I wait to find You've gone
Am
What if Your presence was withdrawn
Em
And I was mistaken all along
Am
To think that I could become your home
EmAmC2C
It'd be no surprise to finally know
EmAmC2C
I am truly alone
EmAmD-single strum
Come death, but likely sooner I'll be alone
EmAmD-single strum
You moved your temple
EmAmD-single strum
inside our bones and it's
EmAmD-single strum
So hard to trust that You
won't move again
EmAmCAm
For all eternity, You stood with Your Father in perfect unity
EmAm
And when You walked the earth, You only went where He led
CAm
You only spoke what He said
EmAm
So for everything You left, and all of the glory You forfeit
Em
No matter how low You were sent
AmEmAmC2C
You still couldn't know what it's like to be alone
EmAmC2C
Disgraced, but You were never alone
EmAmC2C
Betrayed, but You were never alone
EmAmC2C
Tortured, but still never alone
Em
And nothing is worse than being alone
Am
I have been thinking hard about us trading place
EmAm
Maybe I can wear Your beauty if You put on my shame
Em
Jesus, I've been trying so hard to look like You
Am
That I almost missed the worst of what I put You through
Em
You didn't die for sins, You died covered in them
AmA prideful, lying thief, gasping out my final breath
EmAmD-single strum
EmAmD-single strum
For that one moment
EmAmD-single strum
You looked just like me
EmAmD-single strum
Your Father left you
EmAmC2C
And You died completely alone
EmAmC2C
For me, You were alone
Em
You couldn't marry so He left You all alone
AmC2C
No better promise than sympathy
Em
(You conquered death all alone)
AmC2C
'Cause you know the deepest of all our needs
Never again, never alone
EmAmC2CC2 (x2)
