Transcend, Damien Burbank - BRIDE. lyrics
[Transcend, Damien Burbank - BRIDE. lyrics]
Sunday School always taught the world's
Ways is too broad
We’ll get to heaven one day
Me and the whole squad
But all I knew about church
Back then was a fraud
Sung the same songs every week just
To keep up the facade
Do I do this for the Lord or
Just to do a good job
Am I worshipping myself
Or just to worship because
When ur a people pleaser your
Joy often get robbed better check twice
Make sure we worship the same God
Swapped v-cards with my girl
In the 13th grade at first I curbbed her
Abstinence was often up for debate
Save it for marriage
I would tell her you would be worth the wait
She was pro choice, stakes were raised
Mistakes were made
My cell had rung one night
3am i'm wide awake
Just fought off your own dad just
To keep from getting raped
To give it up to him
The thought was too much to take
Right then I understood why
You couldn't just wait
Why you let me go through this, LORD
I would pray how could I ever use the same
Lips to sing Him praise?
If I understood like you do
Would I still feel pain
All I know is the songs I
Sing will never sound the same
So I back to church like it
Made me a better man
If all the madness only a part of God’s plan
I need only to endure and learn
In Christ alone I stand
So I had to cut you off
Like you were my right hand
Only me and no one else how
I believed like a fool
But I knew your lock, wait til you clocked
Thought I had not a clue
Turns out were nothing more or
Less the choices we choose
Are you sure you’re making your choices
Or are they making you?
But life goes on and now you’re gone
By now you’re in the rear view
Hit up my cell it goes to mail
Seems like it wasn’t clear to you
But by now you’re old news
To think I would’ve married you
But in my mind it’s like you died and
I just I had to bury you
We had to grow apart to get
Closer to the good news
That there is hope yet for eternal life
And His name is Je’ sus confess He’s Lord
Who died and rose for you and for me too
And all my sins forgiven only
Reason I forgive you
Renewed Faith to Obey ya, Like Gomer in Hosea
You pursued my heart
Even when parts of me just want to play ya
To be espoused dwell in your house
Part of a bigger picture like a groom
You'll return soon and we all
Get to be with ya
Free from shame known by name
That's why he had to paid the price
Took on our blame so that we'd
Gain his righteousness through sacrifice
His image might we become like for he's
The way the truth and life eternal life
To be with Christ now he
Is clothing me in white
Built on a hill why must we hide not
Of this world but salt and light
Write my wrongs til I’m made right
No longer is my heart contrite
Faith to endure through the night
In the Body of christ I’m sanctified
Hell won’t prevail against this
Rock where you
Once said you’ll have your bride
Ways is too broad
We’ll get to heaven one day
Me and the whole squad
But all I knew about church
Back then was a fraud
Sung the same songs every week just
To keep up the facade
Do I do this for the Lord or
Just to do a good job

Or just to worship because
