David J. Ferguson - Blazing Too Bright Lyrics

I've seen the wonders of this world
It seemed the kings of Earth could never fall
I stood upon the mountaintops
Was dazzled by the glory of it all
But that glory is a dream
Things are not what they might seem
Take your rightful place within my soul
I'll not live by bread alone
You can change this heart of stone
May pleasing you forever be my goal

Blazing too bright to bear
Sweet as Summer in the air
Holy, holy, Mighty One
Everlasting Son

I thought I was invincible
Untouchable, a child of destiny
And I could disregard the Word
None of that meant anything to me
But my daydreams disappear
Leaving me just standing here
You're the only hope that I can see
Let your holiness surround me
Like a lover's arms around me
Take my sin away, away from me

Now some may dare to doubt in God
And ask me why we struggle to get by
Stumbling stones are everywhere
We strike our feet, but no-one hears us cry
But whether life has sun or rain
Whether happiness or pain
You mean more than anyone could say
Whether I should stand or fall
You'll be with me through it all
Lift me up and carry me away
