Lyrics:
Am I unfit for You
Remember me, the one who turned from You
I come in rags tattered by the Fall
And all the earth, a witness to my crime
Mercy, weep over me
Let Your tears wash me clean
Majesty, be merciful with me
For my eyes have seen Holy
Hear my prayer at night
Let the morning find me alive
For I am tired and weakened by the Fall
Let all the earth bear witness to my cry
Let the Amen sound from Heaven as You lift my soul
Let the Amen sound from Heaven as You lift my soul
Let the Angels sound from Heaven, Holy is the Lord

Behind the Song:
“Jason and I debated over whether or not to put drums on this song, because it has potential for getting really dramatic. I’m glad we decided to leave them off, and the reason we did is because we didn’t want anything to distract from the desperation of the lyric. Everything in this song directs you back to the words, which are what make this song what it is. The Prophet Isaiah said when he was able to look into Heaven, ‘Woe is me, my eyes have seen holy.’ In relationship, in this confusing and beautiful world, in the poor and in the orphaned we who have been given eyes to see have seen God, and so we say, ‘Mercy, we will weep because my eyes have seen holy’.” - Bebo Norman
