[Intro]
[atmospheric synths, reverberated vocals]
Yeah…
I’ve been low, I’ve been lost
But I’m not running anymore
[Verse 1]
[mellow R&B beat, soft piano chords]
I confess it, I’m a sinner with a stained white robe
Heart full of pride, envy whispering in my soul
Lust in the night, greed in the glittering gold
Wrath in my chest when the world turn cold
Sloth had me sleeping on the life I was shown
Glutton for attention, never feeling whole
Seven shadows marching when I’m alone
And I hear that serpent on a borrowed throne
But I’m done bowing down to the lies I fed
Done making peace with the living dead
I fall to my knees, lift my head instead
Calling Your Name with the tears I bled
[Pre-Chorus]
[cinematic choir, rising strings]
Yahweh, breathe in my lungs again
Yeshua, cover my broken skin
I don’t deserve it but I’m asking in faith
Forge me in mercy, set me ablaze
[Chorus]
[soaring R&B vocals, melodic synth lead]
Put Your holy flame armor on me
Let it burn every chain that’s on me
I’m a sinner but I’m choosing the fight
With Your fire I’ll step in the night
Raise my sword in the name of love
Heaven’s power falling from above
For the lost, for the weak, I’ll stand
But ruthless to the dark that commands
[Verse 2]
[darker chord progression, soft pads]
Lucifer marching with his army of lies
Crown made of ego and counterfeit light
He feeds on the fear in the children’s eyes
Twists every truth, makes wrong feel right
But I’ve seen the cross cut through the haze
Heard resurrection in a sinner’s praise
Grace like thunder breaking the cage
Turning my weakness into holy rage
I don’t fight flesh, I don’t fight blood
I fight the chains in my own corrupt
Every temptation dressed like love
But I choose the fire from above
[Pre-Chorus]
[cinematic choir, rising strings]
Yahweh, steady my trembling hand
Yeshua, help me to understand
Mercy for every wandering heart
But no mercy for the works of the dark
[Chorus]
[soaring R&B vocals, melodic synth lead]
Put Your holy flame armor on me
Let it burn every chain that’s on me
I’m a sinner but I’m choosing the fight
With Your fire I’ll step in the night
Raise my sword in the name of love
Heaven’s power falling from above
For the human race, I’ll bleed and stand
But ruthless to the prince who demands
[Bridge]
[ambient pads, echoing vocal harmonies]
If I fall, let me fall at Your feet
If I rise, let it be in Your heat
Not my glory, not my fame
Only the power of Your Name
Turn my scars into battle signs
Write redemption across these lines
[Outro Chorus]
[full choir, cinematic strings]
Holy flame, don’t let me stray
Guide my war to a brighter day
I was lost but now I see
Your mercy is the warrior in me
Yahweh, Yeshua, lead my way
Till darkness bends and breaks away.
Sanctuary
