Skin and Bones - an acoustic song

This drink, the glass is full to me
The state to be
To think that brokenness is less
I’m fine, I guess

As world reflections make a pair, the
Son of man is his own era
Everything is bound by what it owns

I’ll kick my shoes off and with
Purpose dive and paddle in
To breathe Your will like oxygen
I hear the world, it has no song to sing
So from it, I don’t need a thing

I fight the fear to turn and
Run away from all I know
And never turn a cheek
My will so weak
The way I went abandonment
Would be a simple task
The echo masked

As world reflections make a pair, the
Son of man is his own era
Everything is bound by what it owns

I’ll kick my shoes off and with
Purpose dive and paddle in
To breathe Your will like oxygen
I hear the world, it has no song to sing

So from it, I don’t need a…

Thing to decorate this skin and bones
I’m quenched, communion fills alone
I’ll stick to the breath I received when I came into the world

As world reflections make a pair, the
Son of man is his own era
Everything is bound by what it owns
So I’ll just live with skin and bones

  1. This is a great poem! I especially like the part that says: "I’ll kick my shoes off and with
    Purpose dive and paddle in
    To breathe Your will like oxygen"

    Great!
