Loose Me

(Verse 1)

This world is hard, it’s complicated

A tiring place, it’s not what it was created

Darkness grows, a cancer in the air

I don't see how anyone lives without a prayer

Our people are breaking, destroying the ground

Faster than the sound of a fall all around

This place is not my home, I yearn to leave

But I got an assignment, and I can't deceive


(Chorus)

Loose me, from the chains of the life I've known

Loose me, from the seeds that the world has sown

Crucify the flesh, the broken things inside

This is the only way to resist the tide

My reputation's meaningless, worthless, it's true

Only Your will matters, this fight I must do.


(Verse 2)

I've allowed the shadows to creep into my walk

Let the world's noise become all my talk

Hinder my purpose, slow down the pace

Lost in the comparison, drowning in the chase

Shame and guilt, from the past mistakes I've made

The consequences linger, a heavy parade

Draw me near now, whisper the word

Give me the strength to be heard.


(Chorus)

Loose me, from the chains of the life I've known

Loose me, from the seeds that the world has sown

Crucify the flesh, the broken things inside

This is the only way to resist the tide

My reputation's meaningless, worthless, it's true

Only Your will matters, this fight I must do.


(Bridge)

You say I'm well on my way, son, don't let the battles lie

This character building, beneath a heavy sky

This is the struggle, this is the breaking point

To deliver me from the hand of the Philistine joint

If you took it all away, where would the strength remain?

I must face this fire to break the world's strain

Don't rob myself of the benefits that come

Pick up the cross daily, 'til the victory is won.


(Guitar Solo - climactic and raw)


(Chorus)

Loose me, from the chains of the life I've known

Loose me, from the seeds that the world has sown

Crucify the flesh, the broken things inside

This is the only way to resist the tide

My reputation's meaningless, worthless, it's true

Only Your will matters, this fight I must do.


(Outro)

Walk with me today

Be my guide and my inspiration

Don't rely on old tricks, no

Just walk with me... and live.
