Starts and Ends

VERSE 1
My soul thirsts for things I can’t explain
In my bones a beckoning to pray
If my heart is a battleground
My defences run both ways
The flesh is a beggar and thief
But there is a Spirit-man awakening me

VERSE 2
When real life and peace won’t make amends
When all these starts
Start feeling like these ends
Like the world is unravelling
And I’m bound to come undone
There is a Shepherd a Priest
There is a Comforter who comforts me

REFRAIN 1
And my soul finds rest
Where it makes no sense
There the blood sets me free

REFRAIN 2
All my old regrets
All my brokenness
All my failures redeemed

REFRAIN 3
And it feels like grace
Where I stacked my shame
There the cross stands for me

REFRAIN 4
All the things I’ve done
All the times I’ve run
All my dead ends redeemed

REFRAIN 5
And it looks like hope
Where my heart was broke
And His heart broke for me

BRIDGE
Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him
Lay your burden down

PRE-CHORUS
Jesus my rest in peace
My reconciler
You’re my every good thing

REFRAIN 6
I surrender all
All I’m living for
You’re my every good thing

REFRAIN 7
You’re my amnesty
You’re my split wide sea
You’re my every good thing

REFRAIN 8
All my days and nights
You’re my death to life
You’re the wonder I breathe

REFRAIN 9
You’re my can’t explain
First and last refrain
You’re my every good thing
