You draw me close to You, to restore my soul to do
Every piece of work for which you made me to
Bring you glory in this life, I lift up the praise that's due,
And in my darkest moments I trust You to pull me through.
Lift me up from the pit, make my joy renew.
I laud the Living Lamb, the Great I AM.
Holy God of Heaven Who, for us, was damned.
Upon the tree, cursed for my wickedness,
Our iniquity, He fulfill the Law, yo, the Prophets had predicted this,
Our sin, are we not yet so sick of this?
Unwilling to forego the deadly pleasure, addicted to the kiss
Of the apostate man, of the man-made clan,
Of the broken wretched fellowship of evil son Ham,
Forsake the father's blamelessness,
Inducted into the hall of fame of shamlessness,
Let us not hold hands,
Let us break all bonds
With the enemies of God,
To whom evil is fully drawn
Live the narrow walk, too narrow to walk,
Ask the Holy Spirit to keep your feet planted to the chalk,
For you will, One Day, watch your re-play,
See if you walked the line in this life, O pray
That He keeps you strong, in tune with David's song
To guide you in His righteousness before your days are gone.
It moves so fast, that it'll be over soon,
And if you don't pass, you'll pass over to doom,
Over to gloom, suffocate from no room,
Weeping and gnashing, not His glory, consumes
The unrepentant, the wayward man,
Crushed by the Rock which with righteousness slams
Down upon the sinner, rightfully damned.
O men of dust, lift up your cups,
You drink iniquity full, you trust too much
In the strength of man, but he won't in the end save,
You've fallen for the lie, straight into Hell's grave
From the cliff of the broad road, paved
With both good and bad intentions, but intentions only evil men crave.
To find comfort themselves and find security in
Their own constructions, not the One True God of Heaven.
So pour out your pride now, confess your sins, bow,
Before the throne of God acknowledge that you are not,
Deserving of any good, but in His mercy He bought
Your life with His life, with His death He provided light,
Offered you the chance to live for the Lord right.
So quit seeking after the night,
Holding your sins tight,
He will help you break away and step before Him in fright.
Only then might you see that He is merciful though you have lived against Him in spite.
O our Holy King, Redeemer of all things,
Forgiver of our sins which we to you bring,
We're sorry for such hatred,
That we have demonstrated,
Help us to love you fully,
Not continue resmonstrating,
Debating, our righteousness with You,
O God, You're True
And Faithful to limits we can't fathom,
But we live like phantoms,
Forget to pray, misunderstanding Jesus' anthem,
So focused on the world, instead of Him, we hope for mansions,
Though you paid Death's ransom,
We love items, not You, money, neither people too.
My God, Our Deliverer, bring us out from the dark,
Such dissonance is ripping our spirits apart,
Please take your Holy Fire and write your Word on our hearts.
