The World Got Loud

(Heavy, distorted guitar riff kicks in)

Verse 1

Come, thou Fount of every single thing

Tune my heart to the static that you bring

These streams of mercy, they just won't cease

They call for praise but I'm begging for release

Show me a sonnet, a broken melody

Sung by the fire that's burning over me

Praise the mount! Yeah, I'm fixed right here

On a love that's unchanging, silencing the fear

Chorus

And I raise my monument, my Ebenezer

Said I'm coming home, hope that I can please her

I was lost, a ghost, a stranger in the crowd

Heard the call, saw the light, then the world got loud

He stepped in the danger, a blur in the red

Interposed his precious blood for the words I never said

Verse 2

Oh, to that grace, I’m a debtor every day

Constrained by a chain I can't throw away

Let that grace now, like a fetter on my soul

Bind this wandering heart, take back the control

I'm prone to wander, Lord, I feel the pull

To leave the one I love, to break every rule

Here’s my heart, cracked and open wide

Oh, take and seal it, on the courts of the tide

Chorus

And I raise my monument, my Ebenezer

Said I'm coming home, hope that I can please her

I was lost, a ghost, a stranger in the crowd

Heard the call, saw the light, then the world got loud

He stepped in the danger, a blur in the red

Interposed his precious blood for the words I never said

Bridge

(Tempo slows, bass line prominent)

I’m fixed upon it, I'm fixed upon it

Is the world's noise louder than the sonnet?

Prone to wander, prone to leave...

Guitar Solo

(Intense, melodic, then fades into feedback)

Outro

Seal it for your courts above

Seal it for your unchanging love

(Whispered)

Tune my heart... sing your grace...

(Drum hit, abrupt cut to silence)
