The Only Crown- The only crown I bow down to is the one that belongs to you. And the only laws I'll submit to are the laws that are lost in you. And the only life I aspire to is a life that's inspired by you. And the only death I will conform to is the death that's dissolved through you. The only song worth singing to is the song that draws me to you. And the only truth I find worth clinging to is that mind cant contain you. And the only walls worth breaking through are the walls between me and you. And the only height worth rising to is the height that finds rest in you. Rise oh Lazarus. Rise, rise, rise. He called out in a gentle voice, he called out his name. Lazarus, oh Lazarus rise from your grave. And from the grave he struggled forth bound and confused. Then Jesus said unto them, let our Lazarus loose.
