Flesh and Bone

I met a man who walked on water

Who wore His crown like a blue collar  

I met a man who treated children  

Like they were ambassadors to the Kingdom

If I saw the world in Your eyes  

Would it help me understand?  

How You see through all our lies  

Still You hold us in Your hand

I'm dying to believe  

I'm trying just to show  

That we're less than perfect  

More than flesh and bone

People climbing trees to catch sight of You  

Broken and blind searching for the truth  

We're crippled by our fears and torments  

Oh, Son of man, have pity on Your servants

If I saw the world in Your eyes  

Would it help me understand?  

How You see through all our lies  

Still You hold us in Your hand

I'm dying to believe  

I'm trying just to show  

That we're less than perfect  

More than flesh and bone

I wander and I want  

Squander the riches of Your love  

It's never enough for me  

Oh, take this poverty and nail it to this tree  

And all that's captive shall go free, I'm free

And if I saw the world in Your eyes  

Would it help me understand?  

That You see through all our lies  

Still You hold us in Your hand

I'm dying to believe  

I'm rising just to show

That we're less than perfect  

Yeah, we're less than perfect

That we're less than perfect  

More than flesh and bone
