My Epic — Alone

As a band based out of Charlotte, North Carolina, this band of Christians captivates listeners with their powerful and moving lyrics as well as smart and intricate arrangements. This band uses truth, beauty, and goodness as inspiration for their lyrics. Many of their song are not only thought provoking but they are also drenched with tenderness, raw honesty, and apathy. This band is truly remarkable.

Lyrics:
Am I a barren temple
Left for newer ways
Of speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain
Should i prepare
To winter spend again
Of silent centuries’ speech for only certain men
What if I wait to find You’ve gone?
What if Your presence was withdrawn?
And I was mistaken all along
To think I could become Your home

It’d be no surprise to finally know
I am truly alone
Come then but likely sooner I’ll be alone
You moved your temple
Inside our bones and limbs
So hard to trust that You won’t move again

For all eternity
You stood with Your Father in perfect unity
And when You walked the earth
You only went where He led
You only spoke what He said
So for everything You left
And all of the glory You forfeit
No matter how low You were sent

You still couldn’t know what it’s like to be alone
Disgraced but you were never alone
Betrayed but you were never alone
Tortured but still never alone
And nothing is worse than being alone

I have been thinking hard about us trading place
Maybe I can wear Your beauty if You put on my shame
Jesus I’ve been trying so hard to look like You
That I almost missed the worst of what I put You through
You didn’t die for sins
You died covered in them
A prideful lying thief gasping out my final breath
For that one moment
You looked just like me
Your Father left You

And You died completely alone.
For me You were alone
You couldn’t marry so He left You all alone
No better promise than sympathy
You conquered death all alone
Cause You know the deepest of all our needs
Never again, never alone
