lyrics

Here is my harvest of heartbreak / Here is my threshing of tears
I'd give you my dream but I lost it / Down in the locust years
Still praise is the song that I'm singing / Even though sorrow's my tune
My love is only a whisper now / But nothing is wasted with you

Here is my secret miscarriage / Here is my public divorce
Nobody taught me to let go / So I learned how to beat a dead horse
Now all of my altars are empty / Except for this lone hallelu
The heat of your fire’s just a memory now
But nothing is wasted with you

Hungry as a mother who cannot find her child
We keep missing each other I'm in the liquor aisle
Prostrated in your glory I am bowed low under this
Either nothing is wasted or everything is

Here in the Holy of holies / Here by the blood of the lamb
Words I have said all my life and believe / but still I do not understand
But I want to live in your presence / However inopportune
The heat of your fire’s just a memory now But nothing is wasted with you
My love is only a whisper now But nothing is wasted with you
