idle threat - simon Lyrics

How could I let this happen? I am washing away
My dearest of friends I have learned to betray
Fearless friend that I thought I could be,
I've found out that it wasn't me
But You never did change, You are true to the end
Greater love has no man than to die for his friends

In the aftermath of these painful events
I can see better now

When You were troubled in your spirit
I was sleeping in the garden
When they were hurling accusations
I denied You to their faces

And as I'm looking back now on my broken promises
Like her alabaster flask, they are all I can give
Could You take my narrow love from me, and make it beautiful again
Because my eyes now can see You are quite unlike me
Every promise You made, not a word incomplete

In the aftermath, it all makes perfect sense
I can see better now what I didn't back then

Can't you see now how I am the One that's true?
Still I can't help but think it should have been me and not You

Grace atoning
Overflowing
How could I not know I'm loved?

Shame forgetting
Resurrecting
How could I not know I'm loved?
