Fever - The Collection

I was singing by the river

Waiting for my troubles to be gone

And You were coming through the speakers

Sliding down my ears and played their drums

And I was sick with holy fever

Burning up with blankets and with love

And You will love me like a mother

Cooling me with freezing baptisms

It seems that I had struggled

Oh so long to say Your name without some fear

Of finding out Your name was nothing more

Than just a name to make things clear

But then You give Your hands to me

And I have seen Your side and touched the holes

The holes that spell forgiveness

In fewer letters than I could ever be told

But if I am a sinner

Then I’ve got Paul in my sights

'Cause we have both been living

With unspoken thorns in our sights

But then You take those thorns out and wear them all as a crown

Oh, things had changed the moment You came down

Call to me, You call to me

In disbelief I fall flat on my face

The countless times that You’ve caught me

Is never as surprising as the chase

So bind my heart in dirty rags

And tie them to the place You call Your home

And I will walk forever with You

You will be the only place I roam
