I'm temporary

I wrestled an angel last night
'Til the break of day
"Please don't go, I need to know
Am I big enough to do these things?
Am I strong enough to dream these dreams?"

Are we brave enough to run this road?
Or is it just too far ahead and no one knows?
He chose me, He chose me
But what am I?

I'm temporary, I'm temporary
I'm temporary, but so are you
I'm temporary, I'm temporary
I'm temporary, but so are you

The leaves rustled on the ground
And I found myself afraid
It's not a lack of faith, I swear, but today
I feel so inadequate

And maybe today I'll wander
But I am never lost
I'll walk through the flames
If it refines my heart that's so untamed
The impact causes these grave clothes to fall
To fall, to fall
So I can now be whole
As Israel who cried
"I have seen the face of God! I have seen the face of God!"
Whoa-oooh!

I wrestled an angel last night
'Til the break of day
"Please don't go, I need to know"
