|
At the center of my heart there sits a throne |
|
That the rightful occupant's not always |
|
Free to call His own |
|
For how can I give the King |
|
His place of worth above all else |
|
When I spend my time striving |
|
To place the crown upon myself? |
|
Battle cry, to engage |
|
For the war, set the stage |
|
And armies march and kings arise |
|
For the choice, the time has come |
|
Mine or thy will be done? |
|
And the pain reflects in holy eyes |
|
For the will to obey |
|
For the night to the day |
|
And the seasons change and rulers die |
|
Not of flesh, not of men |
|
Wage the war deep within |
|
On and on uit rages undenied |
|
I TAKE MY CROWN AND CAST IT DOWN |
|
CASTLES BURNING |
|
CASTLES BURNING |
|
LEARN TO GROW, GROW TO BE |
|
A FLESH AND BLOOD THEOCRACY |
|
TO TAKE THE LOSS AND BEAR THE CROSS |
|
RAISE THE KINGDOM |
|
RAISE THE KINGDOM |
|
BURN AWAY ALL IVE BEEN |
|
TO RESURRECT THEOCRACY WITHIN |
|
And the would-be rulers of my heart |
|
That I place upon the throne |
|
Each lead the kingdom of my life to ruin |
|
To bring every though into submission |
|
To tear the idols down |
|
Is to break the chains, to rearrange, |
|
To give the king his crown |
|
I TAKE MY CROWN AND CAST IT DOWN |
|
CASTLES BURNING |
|
CASTLES BURNING |
|
LEARN TO GROW, GROW TO BE |
|
A FLESH AND BLOOD THEOCRACY |
|
TO TAKE THE LOSS AND BEAR THE CROSS |
|
RAISE THE KINGDOM |
|
RAISE THE KINGDOM |
|
BURN AWAY ALL IVE BEEN |
|
TO RESURRECT THEOCRACY WITHIN |
|
Rather, use me to be your hands down here |
|
A mirror to reflect your glory into hurting eyes |
|
And let me see the world with vision clear |
|
And not through selfishness and lies |
|
For if I am consumed with my own cares |
|
What right have I to speak the words |
|
Thy Kingdom Come? |
|
And if I am consumed with my own will, |
|
What right to pray Thy Will Be Done? |
|
As all round me I see bleeding souls |
|
Please give me strength to never pass them idly by |
|
And as the angry storm clouds start to roll |
|
May they see comfort in my eyes |
|
For just as you are full of love |
|
The same to others you have called me to be |
|
And by the covenant of grace above and below |
|
Within our souls: theocracy |
|
I TAKE MY CROWN AND CAST IT DOWN |
|
CASTLES BURNING |
|
CASTLES BURNING |
|
LEARN TO GROW, GROW TO BE |
|
A FLESH AND BLOOD THEOCRACY |
|
TO TAKE THE LOSS AND BEAR THE CROSS |
|
RAISE THE KINGDOM |
|
RAISE THE KINGDOM |
|
BURN AWAY ALL IVE BEEN |
|
TO RESURRECT THEOCRACY WITHIN |
