am i a barren temple
left for newer ways
of speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain
should i prepare
to winter spend again
of silent centuries' speech for only certain men
what if i wait to find You've gone
what if Your presence was withdrawn
and i was mistaken all alone
to think i could become Your home
it'd be no surprise to finally know
i am truly alone
come then but likely sooner i'll be alone
You moved your temple
inside our bones and leaves...
so hard to trust that You won't move again
for all eternity
You stould with Your Father in perfect unity

and when You walked the earth
You only went where He led
You only spoke what He said
so for everything You left
and all of the glory You forfeit
no matter how low You were sent
You still couldn't know what it's like to be alone
disgraced but you were never alone
betrayed but you were never alone
tortured but still never alone
and nothing is worse than being alone
i have been thinking hard about us trading place
maybe i can wear Your beauty if You put on my shame
Jesus i've been trying so hard to look like You
that i almost missed the worst of what i put You through
You didn't die for sins
You died covered in them
a prideful lying thief gasping out my final breath
for that one moment
You looked just like me
Your Father left you
and You died completely alone.
for me You were alone
You couldn't marry so He left You all alone
no better promise than sympathy
conquered death all
cause You know the deepest of human needs...
never again, never alone
