[John Mark McMillan - The Road, The Rocks, And the Weeds lyrics]

Come down from the stars
Show your human scars
Tell me what it's like to believe
Through my Christ haunted thoughts that the
Losses you bought
Are the nights that you peopled
With your dreams well, I've got no answers
For heartbreaks or cancers
But a Savior who suffers them with me
Singing goodbye, Olympus
The heart of my Maker
Is spread out on the road, the rocks
And the weeds

Come down from your mountain
Your high-rise apartment
And tell me of the God you know who bleeds
And what to tell my daughter when
She asks so many questions
And I fail to fill her heaviness with peace
When I've got no answers for


Hurt knees or cancers
But a Savior who suffers them with me
Singing goodbye, Olympus
The heart of my Maker
Is spread out on the road, the rocks
And the weeds

And Aphrodite would not weep
Nor Zeus would suffer for the weak
But have you come to stand inside my pain?
And all the things I've begged you for
Eternity and evermore
Are hidden with me here beneath the rain
The rain

So shall I plant sequoias and
Revel in the soil
Of a crop I know I'll never live to reap?
Then sow my body to my Maker
And my heart unto my savior
And spread me on the road, the rocks
And the weeds spread me on the road
