Redeem...

I guess this is sort of my redemption song.

Redeem...

REDEEM...

I feel the weakness in my skin
No longer at peace
But at war from within

I cry in pain
But in Him I remain

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...

If it wasn’t for this death kiss
My body’s natural affliction
Like a stinging cut to the wrist

I don’t want to do it on my own
I don’t want to end up in Hell all alone

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...

Jehovah-rapha, I'd ask You to forgive me,
But I know Your help I'll deny,
I just don’t want to live another lie.

So all I can do is cry in pain,
Cry in pain for what remains.

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...

I say to myself then, Will this be my ruin?
Should I hide inside my shadow
Till hellfire comes or I admit my wrongdoing?

Because what gets me is this quiet cull,
And so failure becomes my secret canticle.

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...

And yes, I know Your story,
How You left Your Father in Heaven,
How You were emptied of all Your glory.

To be forsaken by the One You love,
You came to earth to die for those You love.

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...

But I just stood there as we mocked Him,
Remembering, all You said was,
“Please… Father, forgive them.”

Telling us, Fight for the God of love.
Urging us, Fight for the God of love.

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...

Lord, Your love never came in disguise,
You laid it all out there,
Only asking that we not compromise.

Help me rise above all of this impurity.
Grant me solace amidst my insecurity.

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...

This isn’t just another dance,
It is my heart’s cry,
Calling once again for innocence.

Jah, You know, my heart’s rebellion is not of the chosen kind
Only the result of my inherent design.

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...

Lord, I ask, for these things that I have seen and done,
Father, please forgive me,
Bless me in the sacrifice of Your Son.

So I surrender, I surrender all to You – All that I am, my pride, my anger
Just to get a glimpse – of Your hope, of Your love.

Oh God, how I want to share Heaven with you...
