lyrics

WE PRAISE YOU UNAFRAID -
COME - MAKE YOUR NAME GREAT -
BRING LIFE TO THE PEOPLE WHO'VE LOST - LOST THEIR WAY
WE'LL TALK ABOUT WHO YOU ARE
NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS -
BRING LIFE TO THE PEOPLE WHO'RE LOST -

This can be a cold world, so we heat-seek ways to get warm. But flickers lead to false dawns. For some scorn true joy as a mad word - disillusion seeking solace in the absurd. But that Word ain't given up, & what they heard ain't big enough. Let me hit 'em up - they sense escapism when they hear of good news, a 'warm fuzzy feeling for goody-two-shoes'. But I can't earn it - no way I'm entitled - this perfected wholeness. No trace of denial. Everything vile within fades to a hushed silence - dry souls erupt into fountains like burst hydrants. Your Highness in heaven, Your people pray - divulge Your joy to our neighbours today. Burn up their straw-man gods, useless at best - cynicism's silly when Your joy manifests :)

YOU CAME TO GIVE US LIFE AT ITS FULLEST -
WE FIND OUR PURPOSE LIVING IN JESUS -
ANYTHING LESS IS WASTED / IS USELESS -
YOU CAME TO GIVE US LIFE

Oh let it rain from the heavens down, & may it reign in our brethren now, over all versions of hurting & burdens, & curtains that block out incipient DAY; & for the Syrian saints; for those in N.K. today, jailed for their faith; & may their guards be amazed by the praise of the joy in their hearts that You've raised. Oh RELEASE - release joy in distress; saints hounded by fear, or depressed, trying their best to walk steady with heavy hearts & stinging eyes; bring joy where it's scarce. Bring joy to disciples afraid or confused about what they should do, 'cause they're gay & love You. The party in heaven outlasts present pain - in suffering saints, Lord, let Your joy reign.

RELEASE YOUR JOY

YOU CAME TO GIVE US LIFE AT ITS FULLEST -
WE FIND OUR PURPOSE LIVING IN JESUS -
ANYTHING LESS IS WASTED / IS USELESS -
YOU CAME TO GIVE US LIFE
///IN ALL ITS FULNESS///IN ALL ABUNDANCE///

BRING LIFE IN ALL ITS FULNESS -
WHAT USE IS ANY HAPPINESS
IF YOU'RE NOT AT THE HEART OF ME?
I'LL REMEMBER THE BENEFIT
& PREFER YOU TO THE BEST OF IT -
COME & BE AT THE HEART OF ME
