This chest is full of memories
Of gold and silver tears
I'll give you more to own than
All of this
And I'll give you more than years
For you were once a child of
Innocence
And I see you just the same
Your burdens couldn't win or
Lose a thing
Oh, I'd tell you once
Again
But you're always on
The run
Slow your breath down
Just take it slow
Find your heart now, oh
You can trust and love again
Slow your breath down, just take it slow
Find your smile now, oh
You can trust and love again
If you leave I'll still be close to you
When all your fears rain down
I'll take you back a thousand times again
I'll take you as my own
I would sing you songs of innocence
'Til the light of morning comes
'Til the rays of gold and honey
Cover you
In the sweetness of the dawn
But you're always on the run
You're not alone
You're now a part of me
You feel the cure
I'll find the toil it brought you
Of gold and silver tears
I'll give you more to own than
All of this
And I'll give you more than years
For you were once a child of
Innocence
And I see you just the same
Your burdens couldn't win or
Lose a thing
Oh, I'd tell you once
Again
But you're always on
The run
Slow your breath down
Just take it slow
Find your heart now, oh
You can trust and love again
Slow your breath down, just take it slow
Find your smile now, oh
You can trust and love again
If you leave I'll still be close to you
When all your fears rain down
I'll take you back a thousand times again
I'll take you as my own
I would sing you songs of innocence
'Til the light of morning comes
'Til the rays of gold and honey
Cover you
In the sweetness of the dawn
But you're always on the run
You're not alone
You're now a part of me
You feel the cure
I'll find the toil it brought you

"Slow your breath down, just take it slow."
Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God..."
You're not alone, you're now a part of me.
John 15:4 "Remain in me, and I will remain in you..."
You'll feel the cure, I'll feel the toil that brought you.
Is 53:3,4,5 "He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on Him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses He carried; it was our sorrows that weighed Him down. And we thought His troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for His own sins! But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."
No matter what I've done, He welcomes me with open arms and calls me His own. He wipes away all I've done and claims ME as His son!
I feel it just perfectly captures the importance of accepting other people as human, that we are still the children we were born as and not above mistakes. The importance and the greatness of forgiveness for both the offended and the offender. His last line gives me a chill because I can't help but relate it to the idea of both parties expressing there soul to the fullest and understanding each other.
I'm not Christian, but I fully support Jesus' message of forgiving others and loving them instead of growing angry at there trespasses.
As for this song, I take it as a plea from God to just slow down your life from all the things we are running to and come back to Him. He will not only forgive, but actually remove our burdens. He has power over sin, and humbly relying on Him is the only way we can have the strength to overcome our sin and guilt. He wants to help us so bad if we'll just stay close to Him!
