[Intro - Shimmering Pad, Like Light on a Window]

[Verse 1]
There's a pane between the seer and the seen
I can't make His face out through the smoke and sheen
And nobody sees me, not all the way through
The glass works both directions, it's what glass here does
I polished my side, I curated the view
A man behind a window that he never quite unlocks

[Chorus]
Through a glass, darkly
That's the running of this place
Knowing only in part
And known behind a face
But the wall is not the ending
The pane is not the plan
The glass comes down for everyone
At the rising of the Man

[Verse 2 - The Mirror of Verse 1, Lines Reversed]
A man behind a window that he never had to lock
Because Someone sees my side, uncurated, the whole view
The glass never worked both ways on Him, it never does
He's seen me all the way through
And one day I'll make His face out, no smoke, no sheen
No pane between the seer and the seen

[Chorus]
Through a glass, darkly
That's the running of this place
Knowing only in part
And known behind a face
But the wall is not the ending
The pane is not the plan
The glass comes down for everyone
At the rising of the Man

[Bridge - Quiet, Voice Close]
For some it falls like morning
The covering arrived
Dressed in another's righteousness
And glad to be alive
And I will not be ashamed that day
Of what the seeing shows
Because the One who sees the whole of me
Is the One who chose

[Final Chorus - Brighter, Fuller]
Face to face, someday
The whole of the design
I'll know as I am known
And what is His is mine
The wall was for the meantime
The pane was for the now
The glass comes down for everyone
And love is why, and how

[Outro - Shimmer Fading]
I see in part
He sees it all
And stays
