Jars of Clay - Hymn lyrics

Oh refuge of my hardened heart

Oh fast pursuing lover come

As angels dance 'round Your throne

My life by captured fare You own

Not silhouette of trodden faith

Nor death shall not my steps be guide

I'll pirouette upon mine grave

For in Your path I'll run and hide

<i>[Chorus:]</i>

Oh gaze of love so melt my pride

That I may in Your house but kneel

And in my brokenness to cry

Spring worship unto Thee

When beauty breaks the spell of pain

The bludgeoned heart shall burst in vain

But not when love be pointed king

And truth shall Thee forever reign

<i>[Chorus]</i>

Sweet Jesus carry me away

From cold of night, and dust of day

In ragged hour or salt worn eye

Be my desire, my well sprung lye

<i>[Chorus x 2]</i>

Spring worship unto Thee

Spring worship unto Thee
