Lyrics
We're all connected
Descendants of the light
Destined from the moment of our birth
To search our heart and mind
To seek and we shall find
The purpose we we've been given here on earth
The road to hell
Is paved with green and gold
And I'll admit I've walked that street in shame
The road to salvation
Is littered with the bones
Of those who would not call his name
And say...
Rescue me Jesus
Storm these walls that close me in
Light this darkness that surrounds me
Cool this fire beneath my skin
Lord Deliver me holy
Raise me up and set me free
Change me from this man I am
To the man...I'm meant to be.
We're all held hostage
By the secrets that we keep
And I'm the first to say that I have kept a few
Lost weary and forlorn
And badly misinformed
Convinced the lie I'd been living was the truth
Life's a fragile fabric
Held together by a thread
And God's will is sometimes hard to comprehend
I lost my brother
And I know this might sound strange
But on the day he died I was born again
I cried....
Rescue me Jesus
Storm these walls that close me in
Light this darkness that surrounds me
Cool this fire beneath my skin
Lord Deliver me holy
Raise me up and set me free
Change me from this man I am
To the man...I'm meant to be.
{Bridge}
There's a storm on the horizon
Fueled by hatred and by lies
The battle lines are clearly drawn
So decide which side you're on
Bend your knees and
Lift your voices to the sky...
And sing out...
Rescue me Jesus
Storm these walls that close me in
Light this darkness that surrounds me
Cool this fire beneath my skin
Lord deliver me holy
Raise me up and set me free
Change me from this man I am
To the man...I'm meant to be.
