What day is today?
Is it a blessing or a curse?
I'll just wait for the best while the worst stays and lurks,
In my mouth, in my mind.
I'm just fine, in this line, behind clocks burning time.
Only when you use the freedom to choose does love become real.
Only when you abuse the freedom in place does love hide its face.
Just look at me, my commitment.
My convenient use of Your name.
And while the whole world was turning, I was turning,
To pat their backs and tie them to the tracks.
Look at me, my commitment.
I thought You could tell, I thought You would yell,
But if You can't, I can't, and my whole life tastes of waste.
Just look at me, my commitment.
My convenient use of Your name.
Only when you use the freedom to choose does love become real.
Only when you abuse the freedom in place does love hide its face.
But does love hide its face,
Or do we mistake grace for coincidence?
If You've been blessing me every day of my life,
Then I've just been too blind.
As I stand I begin to faint, and as my body faints,
I am acquainted with grace.
Not mistaken with fakes, this time,
Every moment we waste burns our tongue and our taste buds.
As they wither in place, I am left face to face,
With two figures approaching, and one of them choking.
The strife in my mouth You pull out.
As I shout and sing praises,
What comes next amazes me still.
What comes next amazes me still.
My self takes his fill as You hold out Your hand,
He demands that his life be his hands.
Then he stands and departs,
But the globes and the charts can't say where.
He was me. I am me.
And if I follow You, I am free.
I am free.
Oh, Lord, be my shield.
I laid down and slept.
I slept with the enemy, oh no.
Oh lord, be my shield.
I woke up from rest and found,
The enemy was me.
I will not be afraid of 10,000 people.
All Hail the King!
Salvation and freedom belong to You.
Break, break the teeth.
