I can feel the contempt simmer under your skin
How long now 'till it starts seeping through
So blinded by hate you're deceiving yourself
Yet you claim you still walk in the truth
Where would you be if he had treated you
The way you now treat them
Alone unloved and beaten down
Shackled by your sin
When will you see the irony
That stares you in the face
Your righteousness means nothing
If it stands apart from grace
So quick to judge others but not so yourself
Don't you know you need forgiveness too
For by your own measure you too stand condemned
And you know you have no excuse
Where would you be if he had treated you
The way you now treat them
Alone unloved and beaten down
Shackled by your sin
When will you see the irony
That stares you in the face
Your righteousness means nothing
If it stands apart from grace
And do you know what it means
To love not sacrifice but mercy
Or are you sold on your authority
Beyond the point of doubt
God is love
But your heart's so full of hatred
You blaspheme his name
every time
you open
your
mouth
Where would you be if he had treated you
The way you now treat them
Alone unloved and beaten down
Shackled by your sin
When will you see the irony
That stares you in the face
Your righteousness means nothing
If it stands apart from grace

My friend my friend
What have I done
Wasn't so long ago
I was the one in your place
Alone and scorned
By the ones with the best intentions
My friend my friend
Now here I am
But now with them
Hand in hand I stand
And you in my place are ignored
And passed over by this grace
That I've found
How can we who are called to give love
Reject the ones who need that love the most
And how can we who are called to be light
Be so blind
My friend my friend
What can I do
I only want the best for you
You know
But here in this moment
When it matters the most
I fall short
I fall DESPERATELY short
How can we who are called to give love
Reject the ones who need that love the most
And how can we who are called to be light
Be so blind
And how can I
Knowing what it's like to be you
Act like the ones who kept me from seeing the truth
Father forgive us
We know not what we do
My friend my friend
Could you maybe
Find it in yourself
To forgive me this wrong
I swear come what may
I will make you feel
That you are never alone
We see the world
Through different eyes
You can't ignore it
And neither can I
But the things that we do
And the things we believe
Will never change the way
You mean the world to me
My friend.

Can't bring myself to rise up
From the grip of apathy
Each day brings new temptations
Their guilt entangles me
I miss the confidence I once knew
Gone too soon to say goodbye
I need the strength to change my life
I'm too afraid
To try
So I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
There's a hunger in my heart
A longing deep within my bones
For a love that I have known
That even now feels like my home
And there's a hope that stirs within
Each time that I call out your name
That you'll hear and stop to listen
You're the reason that I sing
I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
So set me on fire
So I can feel something
Burn away the cancer
That keeps growing from within
Set me on fire
Light my soul ablaze
Reignite these passions
Stir the coals
Create a flame
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
There's a hunger in my heart
A longing deep within my bones
For a love that I have known
That even now feels like my home
And there's a hope that stirs within
Each time that I call out your name
That you'll hear and stop to listen
You're the reason that I sing
I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you
I want to burn I want to burn
Like a star in the night sky
I want to stand I want to stand
Like a city on a hill
I want to burn I want to burn
Like a star in the night sky
I want to stand I want to stand
Like a city on a hill
I want to burn I want to burn
Like a star in the night sky
I want to stand I want to stand
Like a city on a hill
I want to live I want to live
Like there's more to this life I'm living
Than watching the world pass me by
So won't you take me
Take me
And set me on fire
So I can feel something
Burn away the cancer
That keeps growing from within
Set me on fire
Light my soul ablaze
Reignite these passions
Stir the coals
Create a flame
Set me on fire
So I can feel something
Burn away the cancer
That keeps growing from within
Set me on fire
Light my soul ablaze
Reignite these passions
Stir the coals
Create a flame
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire
Set me on fire

When I the lonely tomb survey
Where once his body was secured
I see displayed the power to save
I know my hope is anchor'd sure
Our saviour from the grave arose
And lives to die no more
Enthroned above he pleads for those
For whom the pains of death he bore
The empty tomb shall now proclaim
How great the one who conquer'd death
And promise all who trust his name
Will rise...
