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 wanted to honor You

My every effort fails

Bury me with Israel, and cover up my tracks

Leave not a trace of what I was

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 my 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 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

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 mandablesare 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
