Salt

I smile, I cry
I breathe, You are good
You give, I take
Life moves, ends too soon
There's a never-ending passion
Running in my veins
And I'm drunk on its conviction
And I savor every taste

I want to be salt
Salt of the earth
Then You can rain down
Your living water
And quench the thirst
Take my best and all my faults
Grind them up and make me salt
Lord, make me salt

They work, they dream
They hope like I do
They need, they strive
Life's hard without You
It slowly kills a part of me
Your word's not heard
So use what You can of me
To help preserve
The good that's in this world

I want to be salt
Salt of the earth
Then You can rain down
Your living water
And quench the thirst
Take my best and all my faults
Grind them up and make me salt
Lord, make me salt

It won't be easy
'Cause nothing that matters ever is
So I will let go
Swallow all my pride and comfort
I promise You
I won't be watered-down

I want to be salt
Salt of the earth
Then You can rain down
Your living water
And quench the thirst

I want to be salt
Salt of the earth
Then You can rain down
Your living water
And quench the thirst
Take my best and all my faults
With every breath, I give my heart
Grind me up and make me salt
Lord, make me salt
