04. Past the Edges

The Weight and the Wonder
by Torchier

Lyrics:

I have read the psalms of David
Sung the echoes traced the lines
But I can't keep living history
When the pen is in my hands this time

They say God is found in the safety of walls
But I hear His voice past the boundary lines
So what if the only way to know Him
Is to step where no one has

Past the edges past the lines
Where the real thing waits on the other side
If I never walk into the unknown
How will I ever hear His voice there
I won't stay where it's safe anymore

I have searched for steady footing
I have begged for solid ground
But what if faith was never shelter
What if it was fire calling me out

They say stay where it's certain where answers are clear
But the prophets all walked past where the road disappeared
So what if the only way to find Him
Is to step where no one has

Past the edges past the lines
Where the real thing waits on the other side
If I never walk into the unknown
How will I ever hear His voice there
I won't stay where it's safe anymore

What if faith was never waiting
What if faith was never tame
What if the only way to touch the fire
Is to walk into the flame

Past the edges past the lines
Where the real thing waits on the other side
If I never walk into the unknown
How will I ever hear His voice there
I won't stay where it's safe anymore
I won't stay where it's safe anymore

The prophets walked past the edges of maps
Now the ground is calling my name
