Verse 1

It's a lie
You've gotta have
Something wise to say
You've gotta make it all okay
That bar's too high
But if it's your only card to play
Of course you'll stay away

Pre Chorus 1

But what if Your nearness
Lightened my burden
What if compassion
Looked like being present

Chorus

From the head down
A lamp burning in the darkness
From the head down
Oil softening the hardness
From the head down
I see that He isn't distant
From the head down
His love is reaching for me

Post Chorus

From the head down

Verse 2

It might feel small
But it's more than
You could ever know
It's kept my heart afloat
The law of love
Fulfilled as you come
Under the yoke
And walk with me to it's home

Pre Chorus 2

Your greatest kindness
Is not answering questions
It's just when You listen
And believe when I can't

Chorus

From the head down
A lamp burning in the darkness
From the head down
Oil softening the hardness
From the head down
I see that He isn't distant
From the head down
His love is reaching for me

Post Chorus

From the head down

Bridge

You don't have to have it all
Nobody's got it together
We're all notes in the song
We sing redemption to each other

Refrain

From the head down head
From the head down

Chorus

From the head down
A lamp burning in the darkness
From the head down
Oil softening the hardness
From the head down
I see that He isn't distant
From the head down
His love is reaching for me

Post Chorus

From the head down

Outro

Mm I see He isn't distant
