I have always known You as long ago as I remember Knew You at the altar in my room Now I am too late learning that right down to the wick I'm burning I'm a puppet tangled in my own religious strings Of all the little things I do When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole All the little things I do When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole All the little things I say and I do While my heart stays just as far from You Why do I do what I hate? With a heart that's far away? Far away, far away You open up the cages I'm hiding in familiar places Stuck between the revelation and the will to change Singing on a Sunday is hardly what You're asking of me Where's the truth, where's the spirit in what I bring? If it's just another thing I do When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole Just another thing I do When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole All the little things I say and I do While my heart stays just as far from You Why do I do what I hate? With a heart that's far away? Far away, far away Far away, far away Is that why You came in the fire, came in the rush of the wind? Is it why You're found in the sound of the storm, in the light of the dawn and the whisper within? If the human heart is an altar I've been as cold as a stone I swear that I want Your fire all the while I'm clutching to the cold Of all the little things I do When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole All the little things I do When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole All the little things I do When I wanna feel holy, I wanna feel whole All the little things I do When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole All the little things I say and I do While my heart stays just as far from You Why do I do what I hate? With a heart that's far away? ♪ Just one glimpse at the face of God One small sip from the Spirit's cup Just the faintest ember from the Fire's holy glow To know You're the hunger and the bread my hunger longs to know To know You're the hunger and the bread my hunger longs to know
