The Map of My Salvation (Live)

Walking down the hall with a heavy leather backpack
Just a weary spirit searching for a home
My mind was a kaleidoscope of static and rain
Every step the echo of a silent deepseated pain

And you appeared like liquid Mercury, a peacon on the hill
And all the shadows I carried began to subside
You brought logic to the chaos living in my chest
Finally found a rhythm in my sheltered heart

It's not a bleeding high
I see the neon lights
I want my soul on the surface far from the dead of night
When the world runs dry and the great rain starts to fall
You're the only life I'm born to face it all in a black and white world
You are the perfect life
I see the map of my salvation in the corners of your eyes

I am leaving behind the ghost of who I used to be
For in your love I finally learn to be free
Learn to be free, yeah
I want to hold your hand beneath that same gray sky
Beneath the same gray sky
I don't need sunshine because I see the truth in your eyes

I want to watch your hair turn silver as the decades pass
A steady fire, not just a flashy bridge built to burn
No instagrammable moments, just health and peace
The kind of love that hits you with a soft sacred impact

You gave me back my purpose when I thought the well had run dry
Now there's a whole new universe beneath this velvet sky
In the name of everything that is real, let this promise be the seal
In sickness and in health when we suffer or unwell
And in sickness and wealth and in poverty, from this moment on, I am yours
Opening every door, enjoy the pain
You are the only relief for my soul
Every breath is for you, every dream I pursue is for you

It's not ecasy I see beneath the neon lights
I want the blessing that dwells in a light illuminates the beacon in the dark
When the world runs dry and the gray rain begins to fall
You are the only life for I to face it all
In a black and white world, you are the image of a perfect life
I see the salvation in the sparkle of your eyes

I am leaving behind the ghost of who I used to be
For in your love I found forgiveness
I am leaving that ghost behind your I will hold your hand
I want to watch your hands
I want to share, build, live, and love you
Will you marry me?
