Back Home

I wanna take hold, make me who I want to be
Bought and sold, break me down to my elements
Shaking out my irrelevance. Rise in me rise in me
Your hope places my everything. It's so full, spilling on my enemies
Control leaves my abilities. Rise in me rise in me
How did I get to the end of my road?
I wanna find my way back home
Have you ever looked despair square in the eye
Turned to walk away with no reason why
Have you ever lost your job then had to tell your wife
Fight to pay the rent and go on with your life
Tried to go to sleep but the stress is severe
Put on a fake smile when your no where near
I've walked that road and don't know where to go
Although my situation is more than straight and narrow
The words are the same, but the outcome is new
When you find your motivation was the hardest into
But that moment of peace at the brink of demise
His blood covers hope and his people arise
Have you ever looked down from the top of a cross
Then saved the saboteurs and your children lost
Have you ever stood silent while they cursed your name
Then hung among thieves, shouldering the blame
Has the crown of thorns ever touched your brow?
While your family denies you, and breaks their vow
When the stinging of whips scars your back
Would you continue on or go to attack
My issues are small in light of His pain
And His hope is everlasting, grace is the same
With every drop shed, His blood is enough
To keep my burden light in his promise of love
