Jars of Clay - Dig Lyrics

I had a big idea, I had a crazy eye
I broke the sacred seal, I told a lazy lie
I've had my conscience bent, I've my patience tried
I've been up in desert and down by the riverside

Will the eagle fly if the sky's untrue?
Do the faithful sigh because they are so few?
Remember when I cried, remember when you knew?
Remember the look in your eyes, I know I do

And count the stars to measure time,
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
To the sea, I crawl on my knees

Feel it coming in, feel it going out
Water covers sin, blood covers doubt
So I begin again, again the healing bow
There was time that I might've surrendered, but not now

Consult the cards to measure mine,
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
To the sea, I crawl on my knees

Consult the cards to measure mine,
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
At the sea, I wait on my knees
At the sea, I wait on my knees
At the sea, I wait on my kneesâ?¦
