Substance
by Joshua Leventhal

Album: All Ye Lepers

Verse 1
Vapor is a siren
Come to snare this sailor's faith
Its vow, hollow desire
But it dissolves as a wraith

Chorus
But I want substance
I want soil
I want grain wrought from the toil
And I want mercy that I can touch
I want substance in this love

Verse 2
We've traded Your bread and wine
For the meals that go down smooth
We've cashed the cheapest vouchers
Spent them with no thought of You

Chorus
But I want substance
I want soil
I want grain wrought from the toil
I want mercy that I can touch
I want substance in this love

Outro
So may I put my hands in Your scars?
May my own eyes behold Thy wounds?
This life You gave so willingly
I want to give mine, too
So that I look more like You
So that I look more like You
