When The Rooster Crows

[Verse 1] Hands that swore I’d never leave You Shook when shadows crossed the ground In the courtyard by the doorway I let fear speak loud Three small questions Three cold answers “I don’t know Him ” on my tongue Then the night tore with a rooster And the damage all was done [Pre-Chorus] You could’ve named it You could’ve shamed me there [Chorus] But You just looked And the truth came flooding through me All my courage made of paper All my promises so thin In Your eyes No accusation Only mercy In that silence I discovered You see all and still draw in Ashes say that I am dust Your grace says I’m not abandoned [Verse 2] I thought love meant I’d protect You Stand and fight Be strong Be sure Till my strength became my stranger And my heart felt so impure But Your gaze did not destroy me Didn’t turn Your face away It just showed me who I really am And who I am to You Still the same [Pre-Chorus] Before I change it Before I make it right [Chorus] You just look And the truth comes flooding through me All my courage made of paper All my promises so thin In Your eyes Holy fire Gentle mercy You see clearly You see fully Yet You call me Yours again Ashes say that I am dust Your grace says I’m not abandoned [Bridge] Here in the dust I stop pretending Here in the dust Your love is steady Here in the dust I’m seen completely And still chosen Still called Still held [Chorus] When You look All the lies fall off my shoulders I am broken I am brittle But I’m cradled by Your hands In Your eyes Every failure finds a future Every exile hears a welcome Every wanderer can stand Ashes say that I am dust Your grace says I’m not abandoned Ashes say that I am dust Your grace says I’m not abandoned
