Thrones
Hewn away from mountainside
Monuments that touch the sky
Elegance of marble walls
Emphasize our tempting calls
We have our wealth and what we know
We take this place and build our throne
Brick and mortar mixed by hand
Roads of cobble through the land
Foundations laid in rugged care
We end our days with faithless prayer
We don't need wealth, just what we know
We take this place and build our throne
Supports have crumbled, columns felled
Torn apart by some who dwelled
Upon the thrones themselves exalt
And in distress they saw their fault
When dust had settled, not far off
Lay a stone which builders scoffed
Rejected by all but those few
Who build a refuge strong and true
Where life abounds and love is shown
We take this place to build Your throne
Hearts of flesh or hearts of stone
Whatever form it's all Your own
Before I even look at them
Be it my sin that I condemn
Hearts of flesh or hearts of stone
Whatever form it's all Your own
Before we even look at them
Be it our sin that we condemn
Monuments that touch the sky
Elegance of marble walls
Emphasize our tempting calls
We have our wealth and what we know
We take this place and build our throne
Brick and mortar mixed by hand
Roads of cobble through the land
Foundations laid in rugged care
We end our days with faithless prayer
We don't need wealth, just what we know
We take this place and build our throne
Supports have crumbled, columns felled
Torn apart by some who dwelled
Upon the thrones themselves exalt
And in distress they saw their fault
When dust had settled, not far off
Lay a stone which builders scoffed
Rejected by all but those few
Who build a refuge strong and true
Where life abounds and love is shown
We take this place to build Your throne
Hearts of flesh or hearts of stone
Whatever form it's all Your own
Before I even look at them
Be it my sin that I condemn
Hearts of flesh or hearts of stone
Whatever form it's all Your own
Before we even look at them
Be it our sin that we condemn
