only love remains

this song by jj heller is amazing and stuck in my head. for good reason, i think.

Scenes of You come rushing through
You are breaking me down
So break me into pieces that will grow in the ground
I know that I deserve to die for the murder in my heart
So be gentle with me, Jesus, as you tear me apart

Please kill the liar, kill the thief in me
You know that I am tired of their cruelty
Breathe into my spirit, breathe into my veins
Until only love remains

You burn away the ropes that bind and hold me to the earth
The fire only leaves behind whatever is of worth
I begin to see reality for the first time in my life
I know that I'm a shadow, but I'm dancing in your light

Teach me to be humble, call me from the grave
Show me how to walk with you upon the waves
Breathe into my spirit, breathe into my veins
Until only love remains
