Bled Out (New Blood)

(Heavy, distorted guitar riff intro - 4 bars)

(Verse 1)

Abba, Father, I thank you for the shield

From the evil one's grip, a wound that's been healed

He makes his claims, but the truth is undone

You are in charge, beneath the rising sun

I put my faith in the things I can't see

In the sovereign control that sets me free

The powers of darkness, they bow to your word

A silent command is all that is heard

(Chorus)

Delivered from the dark, pulled into the light

I'm preparing to reign, ready for the fight

You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end

The righteous redeemer, my only true friend

The center of everything, a central pillar here

Lay down my rights, trading in my fear

Rebuild me, rebuild me, into the man I'm meant to be

All of this is yours, for all eternity

(Verse 2)

For the little ones, we must stand and we must care

Protect them from the works the devil would dare

You use the church, a hand in this world's work

In the world to come, escaping the hurt

You are the Prince of Peace, the perfector of faith

There's none like you, from the grave's cold wraith

Worthy of all praise, a truth that must ring

The highest of notes the world can sing

(Chorus)

Delivered from the dark, pulled into the light

I'm preparing to reign, ready for the fight

You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end

The righteous redeemer, my only true friend

The center of everything, a central pillar here

Lay down my rights, trading in my fear

Rebuild me, rebuild me, into the man I'm meant to be

All of this is yours, for all eternity

(Bridge)

I lay it all down, at your capable hands

Completely undone, ready to follow your plans

I'm your servant, devout and true, the worker for the fields

Victorious through the blood, the freedom it yields

I am bled out, so the new blood can flow

A blood that restores, a seed that will grow

(Guitar Solo - aggressive, melodic, with a heavy build-up and a final sustained, feedback-laced note)

(Chorus)

Delivered from the dark, pulled into the light

I'm preparing to reign, ready for the fight

You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end

The righteous redeemer, my only true friend

The center of everything, a central pillar here

Lay down my rights, trading in my fear

Rebuild me, rebuild me, into the man I'm meant to be

All of this is yours, for all eternity

(Outro)

Filled with the Spirit, a guide for my steps

Use him to accomplish what you have kept

Make me whole, renewed, with your breath of life

Fill me with more of yourself, ending the strife

Abba, Father, I am yours.

(Heavy, final chord and drum hit, let the feedback ring out)

Amen.

(Silence)
