Week three came to meet, and we really were skeptical that we wouldn't be able to write a 3rd song in three weeks. It seemed way to good to be true! We were already blown away at the two that had already happened so quickly. So that night we met, not sure what to expect and Jeremy actually brought an idea to the table. He had a very eery but cool chord progression along with a very honest chorus. This would be the first slow song we wrote, and really took on the shape of a very honest confessional.
We did like usual again and gathered the band first to write the music and flow we wanted for the song. Because of where this song comes from, we left a lot of room at the end for a instrumental so that people can reflect and pray and worship from their own honest places. We assure you, that if you listen to the album in whole, as a ten song story, when you reach this song and the instrumental, you will be moved way more than if you just listen to the individual song. Once we got our music together we stepped into the lobby and collectively wrote some of our favorite lyrics on the album... Every single band member contributed heavily. There's no good way to describe this song until you hear it, other than to let you know Jeremy sings it and sounds INCREDIBLE. We will write the lyrics out for you below, we seriously are so pumped for you guys to hear this song!
Search my heart
Search my soul
Father, I am letting go
Take my hands
Take my feet
Father, I am incomplete
I am wrath
I am hate
Father, You alone are great
In my sin
In my shame
I am crying out Your name
Oh God please save me from myself
Take my power I need Your help
The tide is rising above the gate
Lord rescue me before it's too late
I will bend
I will break
Your the potter I'm the clay
You are grace
You are truth
Teach me how to be like You
With Your strength
With Your might
Pierce my darkness with Your light
In my sin
In my shame
I am crying out Your name
Oh God please save me from myself
Take my power I need Your help
The tide is rising above the gate
Lord rescue me before it's too late
