about

A passionate Hip Hop/Rap track about removing those things in life that get between us and God.

lyrics

Chorus:
Burn it all away, I want none of it to stay
I need to lose control, but I can’t seem to let go
So take it all from me, I need to be set free
I’m a lamb that’s gone astray
So burn it all away

Verse 1:
These days I’m feeling stuck, I’m caught up in distraction
You’re calling me to stillness but I really need some action
I’m joining every faction, looking for a cheap thrill
I’m losing traction I really need to be still
Just be chill and spend some time with You
Too busy preaching and teaching to fall on You
Lord I’m calling you, but I’m hauling too
Why can’t I just give up on this life and find my all in you
That’s all I’m called to do; love God and love my neighbour
But money’s calling so I guess I’ll just leave that for later
If novelty’s mine then everything’s fine, possessions fuel my pride
If power is mine then everything’s fine, I’ve got no need to hide
Look at the kingdom I built, but then it isn’t long
Until I notice all my chains and where I went wrong
They say pride comes before a fall, and I’m falling badly
But if that’s the price of freedom, then I pay it gladly

Verse 2:
These days I’m feeling stuck, I’m caught up in depression
Sorrow is a class that seems to always be in session
I’m getting the impression that I’m not really worth much
The pain would lessen if I could feel her touch
How did I earn such malice and hatred
All I feel’s rejected, neglected, frustrated
Man I really hate it, I’m always being cast out
Always feeling jaded, my confidence has passed out
I’m on the fast route down to destruction
Unless you take an increase, and I, a reduction
If your love is mine then everything’s fine, sometimes I can’t believe it
If mercy is mine then everything’s fine, Lord help me to receive it
Fall to my knees and I pray, God have your way with me
Give me ears to hear, Lord give me eyes to see
The darkness always makes me fall, and I’m falling badly
But if that’s the price of freedom, then I pay it gladly
