Simon sways sick before the darkened cross
broken tongue death-drips inky betrayal 
while eyes pour hot heartbreak like rain
and hell is three days on the empty earth

Simon sings songs before the risen Lord
healed tongue passion-praised with life
while eyes pour forth forgiveness baptism
and heaven is my soul wound tight by yours

Simon do you love me?
Lord you know I am fond of you
Simon do you love me?
Lord you know I am fond of you

watch the great God stoop low for love’s sake

Simon are you fond of me?
Lord you know I am fond of you

it’s a start my son a start
small lump of clay that I might breath into
eternity can be built upon one grain of sand
