1. Intro
(1 John 2:12-14)
2. Listen
(verse I)
Open the book up
You say the lies come (1 Corinthians 1:18)
You who don't know grace
Where do you run? (Revelation 21:8)
Open your eyes
You'll see you're falling (Matthew 15:14)
Straight into hell (Romans 6:23)
And it's just begun
(verse II)
Open your heart up
Ask what you long for
It's to be loved
That's no surprise
When it all comes crawling
Up inside you
You dream of death
Open your eyes (Ephesians 1:18)
(chorus)
You'll see, the truth
It's dead inside you
You never learn
From where you've been
Hopelessness
And despair haunt you
Your self-hate takes root again
(bridge part I)
I am on the rock of salvation
Where I cannot fall (Psalm 62:2)
I can hear the voice of Jesus
Listen to Him call
I live for and love my Saviour
Giving up my life (Matthew 10:39)
Ignorance says "you don't need Him"
As your heart bleeds tonight
(bridge part II)
Get up on the rock of salvation
Where you will not fall
Christ can heal the wounds inside you (Isaiah 53:5)
Listen to Him call
He is crying out "I love you, Let me take your pain"
"I bled and died to save your soul and I'd do it all again" (Romans 6:23)
3. Take My Hand
(verse I)
Moving forward for the kingdom of God (Matthew 28:19-20)
The house on the rock won't fall (Matthew 7:25)
Siege can't stand to knock us down
It shatters when it hits the wall (Ephesians 6:13-17)
Oh we live, oh we die
As light in the night (John 12:46, Matthew 5:14-16)
Never budge an inch from where we stand
Never lose this fight (Matthew 16:18)
(verse II)
Living this life, your blind eyes
Don't even know how to see (Ephesians 4:18)
Covered by wool that the Devil pulled
He'd hate to see you free (2 Corinthians 4:4, John 8:44)
In a world where blood was shed
To pay the price you owe
It's the world you're living in right now
If only you could know (John 3:16, Ephesians 1:7)
(chorus)
Take my hand
His eyes burn with fire (Revelation 1:14)
Take my hand
Come feel His awesome power (Ephesians 1:19, Genesis 1:1)
Take my hand
I'll lead you to the place where even you can know His grace (Romans 3:22)
(verse III)
All this hate, all these lies
And everything in between
With the bitterness of a jet black heart
Hope goes unseen
In a world where blood was shed
To pay the price you owe
It's the world you're living in right now
If only you could know (John 3:16, Ephesians 1:7)
4. Oh My Child
(verse I)
At the bar he drinks his sorrows away
He can't live with himself, there's too much pain
Broken wedding vows ripped his world apart
Now he empties a bottle to fill his heart
He held true to every word he ever said
And now the lies of his ex-wife ring in his head
When she finally left, she confirmed his fears
He wonders how many men, how many years
(chorus)
Oh my child, I love you
Oh my child, I died
to pay for your sin
That's why I was crucified (John 3:16)
Oh my child, I love you
Oh my child, I died
to heal your heart
and take the pain you have inside (Isaiah 53:5)
(verse II)
The tears she cries wash the blood on her face
Daddy's little girl, Daddy's big disgrace
Looking for a love to fill her heart
But they use her body and tear her soul apart
She has nowhere to go
She's all alone living in this broken home
Why did her mom have to leave her dad?
What did she do to make her life so bad?
(bridge)
Inside
Inside
Crucified
I died.
(Matthew 18:14, John 3:16, Romans 8:16-17, 1 Timothy 2:3-4, 1 John 3:1)
5. Never Sleeps
(verse I)
Rage
In one who longs to kill you
Let it out
Pain
Is what this hurt soul brings you
Without a doubt
Longing to kill, crucify
See the hate in their eyes
Nothing you have done to them,
Save the color of your skin
(chorus)
Hate is born
The innocent cry
Hate is born
They all will die
Hate is born
The mother weeps
Hate is born
It never sleeps
(verse II)
Death
Is what is here to greet you
Turn and run
Lead
Sticks into your back
From their gun
You long to live, in blood soaked cries
But this is a right that they deny
Nothing have you done to them,
But they don't care: "murder him." (1 John 2:11)
6. Be All That You Are

I want to know You (Psalm 46:10)
Live in me

Fallen down
Because I love You (Psalm 95:6)
(pre-chorus)
So take me in Your hands right now
As You fill up my heart (Isaiah 64:8, Psalm 4:7)
Break me, shape me, mould me (Romans 5:3-5)
I want to be a light in the dark
Put this city on a hill (Matthew 5:14)
So I can shine to the earth (Ephesians 5:8-14)
Let me be a light before all men
Like You planned before my birth (Ephesians 1:11)

Be all that You are (Revelation 22:13)

And it cannot be cut or destroyed (Romans 8:38-39)
By Your grace we're saved and free (Ephesians 2:8)
Your Spirit fills the void (Ephesians 3:19) The fullness of knowing You
It's in me and I am complete
And I stand in awe of Your love
'Cause when I was weary
You washed my feet (John 13:3-5)
8. Away
(verse I)
Your grace and Your truth
Gave a hope to believe in (1 Peter 1:3)
A way to give up our self,
Come to life, and die to sin (Romans 8:13)
God, open our hearts, tear out our pride
Less of us and, Father, more of You inside (John 3:30)
Let Your joy flow in tears down our face
For your Spirit, oh, God, is in this place (Matthew 18:20)

Meet us today
In the presence of Your Spirit

Shine down and make us grow (Luke 8:11)

You are all that's ever mattered
How You were whipped and beaten
Torn and tattered (Isaiah 53:5)
