Chalice Lyrics

The way to find ourselves is in the fires of our sorrow
Do we look around, expect to see the wind?
Could we prevent the trials we face with each new tomorrow
Can't we see this is the world we're living in?

Suffering restores us; burns away the empty shallowness
softening the heart to be broken bread and poured out wine
when it rains it pours turns the life into the Chalice
where it nourished every soul one at a time

When we do wrong should we refuse to listen to the Master
who went on before so that we walk in his steps?
Before too long we run away and running even faster
we fail to see the promise that he kept

Suffering restores us; burns away the empty shallowness
softening the heart to be broken bread and poured out wine
when it rains it pours turns the life into the Chalice
where it nourished every soul one at a time


To love is to be broken but to love nothing and no one
we must close our own selves up, close all the doors, and let no one in
Lock within ourselves, where its safe in dark emotion
where love will cease to be and all the while the Air is wearing thin.

Chalice! Chalice! Chalice!

Suffering restores us; burns away the empty shallowness
softening the heart to be broken bread and poured out wine
when it rains it pours turns the life into the Chalice
where it nourished every soul one at a time.
