Bit by Bit
Chorus: Bit by bit; little by little The Lord revives the dying heart He will not break what’s dry or brittle He will not snuff the smoldering spark
Hardened to grace She’s furrowed a frown into every line Never a girl in her day She grew up so fast it was all she could find Hid in the hideous pretend she was fine now sullied in silence She waits for the time
Til bit by bit; little by little The Lord revives his little girls He will not break whose aching or brittle He tussles each of their golden curls
Nails bit to the quick He feels what he’s missing but knows not it’s name So he turns another trick His father said son and it felt just the same At seven you know well he isn’t to blame When he’s not feeling lonely he’s feeling – ashamed |
|
Til bit by bit; little by little The Lord revives his battered boys He will not break whose bruised and brittle He made them all just to bring him joy
Peace still lives in their eyes Sails on the giggles that give them away It’s their clarion call to the skies Born on the dreams they may never say To learn how to play just as children – should play.
‘Til bit by bit; little by little The Lord revives his wounded doves He will not break whose winged and little He will not hurt who he’d die to love. |
