Cover Painting To Blessed Assurance
Album By Beverly Glenn

----------------------

Today's "music-only" video (found below) is a powerful and moving old school Gospel take on a traditional hymn — Blessed Assurance — recorded by Beverly Glenn in 1973.

Glenn's reverential performance is superbly accompanied by talented musicians on piano, guitar, bass and drums — and an excellent backing choir.

According to her website:

Beverly Glenn "composed 150 Gospel songs,  an anthem and a Christmas cantata for choir and chamber orchestra.  She has 10 albums to her credit as well as recognition in Ebony and Billboard magazines.  The cover of her "Take Me Higher" album was nominated for a Dove Award."

The lyrics to Blessed Assurance were written in 1873 by Fanny Crosby — Exactly 100 years before Beverly Glenn's beautiful recording of it!

Blind from infancy, Crosby "was a poet, lyricist, and composer. She was one of the most prolific hymnists in history, writing more than 8,000 hymns and gospel songs, with more than 100 million copies printed. 

She is also known for her teaching and rescue mission work. By the end of the 19th century, she was a household name."

Blessed Assurance - Lyrics

      Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
I'm an heir of salvation, I've been purchase of God
   I've been born of His Spirit, I've been washed in His blood

      This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
       Praising my Savior all the day long

    Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Every day I'm watching and waiting, I'm looking above
Filled with His goodness, Thank God I'm lost in Precious His love

      This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
       Praising my Savior all the day long

All the day long!

✝   Romans 10:9-10

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 

---------------------------------

If you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek out fellowship with others who also believe.

Pour out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your needs.

Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.

God Bless You!

Bible Verses About Salvation Through Jesus Christ

Romans 5:6-8

Beautiful Russian Orthodox Good Friday Service & Music - Bless the Lord, O My Soul

Video Below

---------------------

Happy Good Friday brothers and sisters!

If you are new to Christianity—calling the day we remember that Jesus willingly chose to be tortured, insulted, abused, and nailed to a cross where He died—might seem odd.

But this day is also a celebration because through His act of obedience—Jesus fulfilled His purpose in coming to the earth in human form—to offer us the gift of His Grace and Forgiveness through His sinless life, and sacrificial death and resurrection.

As Jesus exclaimed, just before dying—"It is finished"—signifying that His death had forever removed the barrier of sin between those who believe in Him through faith—and our heavenly Father.

So while we might marvel at Jesus' willingness to die in such a horrible way—knowing the terrible suffering that He endured—we are filled with gratitude for the Blessing of His Gift to us—as we celebrate His Goodness and Mercy to us—our risen King and Savior.

Luke 23:33-29 - Painting: Mihály Munkácsy (1844-1900)

---------------------

If you're like me—and have attended more casual western protestant churches—the pageantry of the Eastern Orthodox Holy Friday Service in the video below might seem very unusual.

But I found the absolutely beautiful vocal only music—along with the ornate robes and setting—very moving and an inspiring tribute to Jesus and His wonderful Gift to us.

The video's description on YouTube adds:

“We remember because we love Jesus and hate what happened to him,” he said. “We love him for his words, we love him for his miracles, and we even love him for his suffering and his death.”

Much of the scripture and prayer during the service was sung rather than spoken, another tradition that dates back to ancient times, when there was no way to amplify a speaker’s voice, Nasser said. “You can hear somebody singing better than you can hear somebody speaking,” he said. 

---------------------

I pray you will be Blessed by this video—and that God will fill your heart with His wonderful Love—and bring you Comfort, Healing—as you accept His Grace and follow after Him.

What Mercy Did For Me - Lyrics

I was hopeless
I knew I was lost
Death and Darkness were my only songs

I needed someone to come to rescue me
And mercy heard my plea

Lord, You found me 
You healed me 
You called me from the grave

You gave me your real love 
I thank you Jesus
You washed my sins away

And now I'm living 
Like I'm forgiven 
You came to set me free 
and that's what Your mercy did for me

You gave beauty
For my guilty stains
And now I'm living
Day to day by His grace
So excuse me if I can't contain my praise
'Cause I know that I've been saved

Lord, You found me 
You healed me 
You called me from the grave 
You gave me your real love 
I thank you Jesus 
You washed my sins away 
And now I'm living Like I'm forgiven 
You came to set me free 
And that's what Your mercy did for me 

And every morning Mercy will restore me 
I will proclaim!
And even if the world may fall before me
I will proclaim!

'Cause Lord, You found me 
You healed me 
You called me from the grave 
You gave me your real love 
I thank you Jesus 
You washed my sins away 
and now I'm living Like I'm forgiven 
You came to set me free 
and that's what Your mercy did for me 

That's what Your mercy did for me

Can't Nobody — Lyrics

Can't Nobody
Can't Nobody
Thank you, Lord

The way you love me
The way you keep on keeping me, Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

The way you wrap me in your arms and hold me
Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

It's a mystery to me
Why you love me the way you do
So long suffering
Even when I'm lost and confused

Never known any love that's quite like this
That's able to keep me from falling
And present me ***
The way

The way you love me
The way you keep on keeping me, Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

The way you wrap me in your arms and hold me
Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

Can't nobody
Can't nobody

Let's get ready to lift him up
Yeah
Right there — Right there
Can't nobody do me like you — Yeah

Lord before I came to know you
I had my head hanging low
Burdened down so heavy
'Til you eased my troubled soul

Now I'm moving in a new direction
By your Grace, Your Mercy — And by your Protection

You keep me from danger
 ****
And when trouble rises
You are right there to deliver me

I want to thank you
And give you the praise
For Lovin' me the way You do

The way you love me
The way you keep on keeping me, Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

The way you wrap me in your arms and hold me
Jesus
Can't nobody do me like you do

Go ahead now

Nobody
(Nobody)

People Get Ready · Al Green

Lyrics From People Get Ready

Hi!

Recently, I posted Jonny Lang's I Believe From the 2009 compilation CD Oh! Happy Day to this blog.

https://godsbigshow.blogspot.com/2018/08/jonny-lang-i-believe.html

Another awesome track on that album is a cover of the late Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready sung  by the Reverend Al Green — along with singer Heather Headley.

Green has been a staple of pop, R & B, and Gospel music for many years — (in 2004, he was inducted into the Gospel Music Association's Gospel Music Hall of Fame) — and I love what he and Headly have done with this song. 

They left out a few of the ambiguous lyrics from the original version — but best of all they added two break-down sections of Thanksgiving and Praise to our Heavenly Father.

I find it quite uplifting and moving — and pray that you do too — and that his song Blesses you and fills your heart with God's Comfort, Peace, and Love!





People Get Ready Lyrics

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the LORD!

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no ticket
You just get on board

All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need no bags
You just thank the LORD!

People get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers — from coast to coast

All you need is faith
Open the doors and board 'em
Don't need no ticket
You just get on board!

Break-down:

Thank you LORD!! < repeats

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
And you don't need a ticket
You can just get on board

But you gotta have a pity on those — who chances grow thinner
There's Life for all — on the Kingdom's throne

People get ready
There's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers (Oh!  The Master's conin'!)— from coast to coast

Faith is the KEY
To hear the diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the LORD!

Nothing But The Blood - Benjamin Cone, III & Worship

Music Only Video Below

Peter Paul Rubens - "The Raising of the Cross - 1 John 1:7-9

Hi!

As I've mentioned before—when I was young my family and I attended a little Baptist Church in a steep hillside neighborhood in the small mountain town where we lived.

As I recall we might only have 20 or 30 people at any given service—but attending there has definitely been burned into my memories.

We always sang before the sermon and were led by the pastor accompanied by someone on piano—and on rare occasions someone would join in on big ol' draw-bar organ.

Looking back now I realize that some of those musicians were very talented.

--------------------------------

Anyway—we had little song-books that had the words to a lot of old hymns—and sometimes I'll find one of them running through my mind.

Recently I thought about the old hymn Nothing But The Blood—so I went searching for a version of it to share here.

Wow!  Was I rewarded!!

It takes what I remember as a quiet old hymn—and gives it a marvelous, Spirit-filled flare!  My little, reserved childhood church didn't do it anything like this.

: )


Performed by Benjamin Cone, III & "Worship" — it takes the song and adds an AWESOME Gospel groove and full throated vocals!

Revelation 12:10-11

Nothing But The Blood - Lyrics

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

    How precious is that flow
    That makes me white as snow
    No other fount I know
    It's nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught < also meaning nothing) of my good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

    How precious is that flow
    That makes me white as snow
    No other fount I know
    It's nothing but the blood of Jesus
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus 

Break-down:

(Oh! The blood!)
Oh! The blood!
(Oh! The blood!)
Oh! The blood!
(Oh! The blood can save me!)

(Oh! The blood!)
It washes me!
(Oh! The blood!)
It heals me!
(Oh! The blood!)
It saved me!
(Oh! The blood can save me!)

Repeats with variations

Female singer:

Ben if you allow me,
Let's talk about this blood of Jesus,
I just want to let the world know
How precious His blood is!

Oh! On Friday
He died on Calvary
Shed His blood,
Yes He did
Oh! Just for me
Oh!  I've been washed,
I know I've been washed..........

SINACH: The Name of Jesus - Live

Video Under Brief Commentary

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Hello!

I hope you are feeling Blessed by our Lord Jesus today!

Though — I know that his life at times can feel like a fiery trial — so in those times it's wonderful to let God's Word speak His Truth into our hearts — and let His Word remind us of His promises — not just for this life — but also the beautiful life that awaits us in His presence forever and forever.

Romans 8:28

----------------------------------


Today's music is a awesome reminder of those promises!

I wasn't familiar with Nigerian Gospel singer Sinach — but somehow came across several songs of her from live performances and fell in love with the one posted below:  "The Name of Jesus!"

I pray that it will Bless you and comfort you —  and fill you with His Love and Peace!

(lyrics are included in the video and below)





The Name Of Jesus - Lyrics

How majestic is your name,
Oh, Lord
In all the earth

Your name is strong and mighty
Your name is glorious and great
In Him we are saved!

The name of Jesus
Higher than other names
King of all kings
No other name like His

The name of Jesus
Higher than other names
Alpha and Omega
No other name like His

Your name like sweet perfume
Poured upon my soul

In Your name we overcome
In His name there's victory
His name is powerful

The name of Jesus
Higher than other names
King of all kings
No other name like His

The name of Jesus
Higher than other names
Alpha and Omega
No other name like His

Repeats

Every other god — they are deader than dead
Jesus died and rose again
We lift Him higher

In Your name every knee shall bow
In Your name all men are saved
We call upon the name

Call His name — Jesus
Call that name — Jesus
Call that name — Jesus
Oh, oh, oh — Jesus

Call that name — Jesus
Mighty God  — Jesus
Marvelous — Jesus
Oh, oh, oh — Jesus
Jesus

Oh, oh, oh — Jesus
Call that name — Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Oh, oh, oh — Jesus!

That name is a miracle
That name is salvation

Jonny Lang - I Believe

Music Only Video Below

John 14:1-6 - Painting: Salvador Dali - The Last Supper - 1955

Hello!

If you're a fan of music that combines blues and gospel — today's track will scratch that itch.

: )

Jonny Lang first hit the music scene in 1997 when he was just 15 — with his blues steeped hit Lie To Me .

Lang was among a few young musicians then (like fellow teen Kenny Wayne Shepherd) who were following in the trail-blazing footsteps of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Lang sang and played guitar with a passion not heard much in popular music then or now although he was struggling in his personal life when he first started out.

According to Wikipedia: 

"After a period of alcoholism and drug use, Jonny Lang became a Christian in 2000, which led him to stop substance abuse. 

In an interview with Sara Groves on Christianity Today, Lang gave details about his conversion, assuring he had a supernatural experience with the Holy Ghost. 

In his own words, he has said that he formerly "hated Christianity" and "despised the things of God", but now he wants to share with others about Jesus' love.

Lang's 2006 album, the gospel-influenced Turn Around, won him his first Grammy Award."

God is good!

Below you'll find a "music-only" video of Lang's I Believe, from the compilation Album Oh Happy Day — where Jonny makes a clear declaration of his faith set to a Gospel bluesy track.

I pray his music Blesses you and fills your heart with the awesome Love and Peace found only through our wonderful Savior — Jesus the Messiah!

Luke 15:11-32 - Painting: The Return of the Prodigal Son - Pompeo Batoni - (1773)

-----------------------------------------------

Hello!

It's a real Blessing knowing Jesus!!

Although, many Christians have their own "prodigal child" experiences—being lured by the media, movies, TV, popular culture, politicians, celebrities, friends, school, and so on—leading them to question their faith and walk head-long into the world and embrace its standards, customs, and practises.

Fortunately God is good—and constantly speaks into the heart of His beloved children—who are called by His Name—gently calling them to return home!

----------------------

Today's Gospel song (in the music/only video below) speaks to the prodigal heart's longing to return to the Grace and Love of our beautiful Savior, Jesus.

Found on her album, "It's Already Done," let Evelyn Turrentine-Agee's track, Come Back Home, speak to your heart—and remind you of His Love and Forgiveness—no matter where you are on your journey with the Lord!

Messianic Jewish Music - Lamb - Psalm 23

Music Only Video Embedded Below

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi!

During the 1970's, when Christian Rock was in it's early stages, a band called Lamb emerged onto the scene.

According to their website:

"Joel Chernoff (lead singer/songwriter) and Rick “Levi” Coghill (producer/guitarist) formed Lamb in 1972, and is considered by many to be the music group responsible for pioneering and popularizing Messianic Jewish music."

Messianic music is created by Christian Jews who have come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah.

------------------

In the past this blog featured a wonderful song of theirs called The Sacrifice Lamb (7-28-12).

------------------ 

In 2014, Lamb release an album called "The Sacrifice"—that included their modern Hymn — Psalm 23—which is embedded below.

Using the words from the Psalm found in the Bible (posted under the video)—this song is gentle and worshipful and speaks of our Father's great love for us—His protection and guidance—and our Eternal Home with Him!

May God Bless you—comfort you—and speak to your heart as you listen! 
   





Psalm 23 - Lyrics

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters
He restoreth my soul

And yeah, though I walk through
The valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff
They comfort me

Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil
My cup runneth over

And surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All of the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house
Of the Lord forever
Forever!

And yeah, though I walk through
The valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff
They comfort me

And surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
Forever!

I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever
Forever and ever and ever! 

For the Lord is my Shepherd
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want, no more

Forever!
Forever!

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want
Only He restoreth my soul

Heritage Singers - "What a Day That Will Be" - Live From Prague

Hi!

Wow!  God is so good!

I was about to post another version of this song—and it was nice but not wonderful.

While doing a search for the lyrics to "What A Day That Will Be" (found below)—this video of the Heritage Singers performing the song in Prague came up as a suggestion.

Sometimes you have a sense from the first notes that there is something special about a particular song—and that rang through right from the beginning on this wonderful version.

So—please give it a spin—and let it speak to you of our beautiful Savior—and the GLORIOUS eternal life that awaits all who love Jesus as Lord and believe on him!

What A Day That Will Be - Lyrics

There is coming a day, when no heartaches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye,
All is peace forevermore, on that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be

    Chorus:
    What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see,
    And I look upon His face,
    The One who saved me by His grace;
    When He takes me by the hand,
    And leads me to the Promised Land,
    What a day, glorious day that will be!

There'll be no sorrows there, and no more burdens to bear,
There'll be no more sickness, and no more pain, no more parting over there;
And forever I'm gonna be, with my God—who died for you and me,
Oh! What a day, glorious day that will be!

    Chorus

  What a day, glorious day that will be!!!

Hi!

I written a few times in the past about Miss D's Gospel Show on the radio here in Phoenix, Arizona.

Through her program I found Leander Williams—and his Gospel Quartet Paradise Show on PGGM radio.

I was checking out his program from 5-5-2018—uploaded to his YouTube channel— and didn't get any further than the first song—which I LOVED and knew I'd want to share here!

Doc McKenzie and the Hi-Lites On Spotify

Doc McKenzie & The Hi Lites' - Come Aboard — is in that uptempo Gospel style that I have completely fallen in love with.

The track is sophisticated musically—but energetic and fun—and best of all—it's completely uplifting—and it'll make you feel so good!!

Come Aboard - Lyrics

You know, God told Noah,
To build the ark,
And let the people know <reference to Noah's own wife—and his sons and their wives)
That the doors are open,

(Come aboard!)
It's gonna rain
(It's gonna pour)
While the doors are open—
(Come aboard—God's getting ready to close the doors,

Make up your mind,
(Come aboard)
Don't waste no more time!
(It's gonna pour)
You need to get in a hurry!
(Come aboard—God's getting ready to close the doors)

Oh! Get your business straighter,
(Come aboard)
Don't you be late no more,
(It's gonna pour)
You need to get in a hurry,
(Come aboard)
God's getting ready to close the doors—

Come along—
(Come along—my friends come along)
It could be any time,
(I don't know when—but He's comin' back real soon)
Come along—
(Come along—my friends come along)
I don't know when—
(I don't know when—But He's comin' back—Comin' back real soon!)

Listen here—

He's comin' like a thief and a robber by night,
(You can't go back with him if your heart ain't right)
My eyes can move—and I can see a new day—I said—
(Lord you've promised from a mighty long way)

(If I were you I wouldn't wait no more!)
(God's getting ready)—To close the door—

(Come aboard)
Get in a hurry—
(Come aboard)
Don't wait no more—
(Come aboard)
Because God getting ready—
(Come aboard)
To close the door—
(Come aboard)
I don't want to be covered...
(Come aboard)
In my sins—
(Come aboard)
With the doors closed—
(Come aboard)
And I can't get in—
(Come aboard)

Don't be late no more—
(Come aboard)
 Because God's gettin' ready—
(Come aboard)
To close the door—
(Come aboard)

Trust me when I say...
(Come aboard)
The time's not long—
(Come aboard)
I'm tryin' to warn you—
(Come aboard)
In my song—
(Come aboard)

Go and tell somebody—
(Come aboard)
It won't be water...
(Come aboard)
But fire next time—
(Come aboard)

Tell your mama—
(Come aboard)
Tell your daddy too—
(Come aboard)
Tell your brother—
(Come aboard)
And your sister too—
(Come aboard)

Tell 'em don't wait no more—
(Come aboard)
God's gettin' ready—
(Come aboard) 
To close the door—
(Come aboard)
If I were you...
(Come aboard) 
I wouldn't wait no more—
(Come aboard)

Make up your mind—
(Come aboard)
Stop wasting time—
(Come aboard)
Can't you see that time...
(Come aboard)
Is windin' up—
(Come aboard)

We're living in...
(Come aboard)
The last days—
(Come aboard)
You need to turn...
(Come aboard)
From your wicked ways—
(Come aboard)

Get in a hurry—
(Come aboard)
I told you—
(Come aboard)
Don't you wait no more
(Come aboard)
God's getting ready—
(Come aboard)
To close the door—
(Come aboard)

TobyMac - I Just Need YOU!

Music Video Below

 -------------------------------------------------------

Hi!

Last night—while driving around—I was doing some radio channel surfing through several different Christian stations I have set on my deck.

Suddenly—I hit on a song that had my attention in a moment.

I loved the feel of the track and vocals—and fortunately it was playing on a station that shows the artist and song name on the radio's read-out.

I loved it so much—and didn't want to forget it—so I actually called my own phone and left a voice message about to to remind myself:

TobyMac - I Just Need YOU!

--------------------------

When I got home I found the music video for it—which is very cool too—and have shared it below.

--------------------------

TobyMac has been making Christian music for years and was a member of the popular group DC Talk from 1987 to 2001—and has been a successful solo artist since then.

He's had 20 songs on "Billboard's Christian Songs List—and between his solo career and DC Talk has sold more than 10 million albums and won 7 Grammy Awards."

 Hope you feel Blessed by this song!

I Just Need YOU! - LYRICS:

Last night put the heavy on me
Woke up, and I’m feeling lonely
This world gotta a way of showin’ me

Some days it’ll lift you up
Some days it’ll call your bluff
Man, most of my days I ain’t got enough

And all I know—Is You’re my only hope

When I’m up, when I’m down 
When the wolves come around 
When my feet hit the ground 
I just need, I just need U 

On my darkest days, 
when I’m losing faith 
No, it ain’t gonna change 
I just need, I just need U 

Lord, I need U 
Yeah, I just need U

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil—for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff …

They comfort me when I’m beat down broken
Hold my heart when it’s split wide-open
Turn these eyes to my sole protector
And break the will of this born defector

Chorus

When You pull me closer I come to life  (4X)

Chorus

Ain’t no way this thing gon’ change,
It’s U I need on my darkest days,
When I’m losing faith
I need U every single day,
Every breath I take

I need U

Hi!

Perhaps you've seen Jay Sekulow on TV or heard him on the radio—and know that he is a driving member of the American Center Of Law And Justice (ACLJ), an organization fighting against the erosion of our rights in the US.

He has argued a number of cases before the Supreme Court—and has an impressive track record of winning.

Last year, for example, he won a preliminary 3.5 Million dollar judgement against the IRS—for their targeting of Tea Party groups during the Obama administration.

Jay Sekulow

What some may not know is that he is also a musician!

I just learned that when I saw his band performing "Where I Stand" on Mike Huckabee's show on TBN.

The Jay Sekulow Band includes some great musicians like singer John Schlitt from Head East (Never Been Any Reason) and Petra—and singer John Elefante from Kansas!!

Left To Right:  John Schlitt With Phil Keaggy (Famed Christian Guitarist)—and John Elefante

BTW—both singers voices are still excellent—and Elefante's range is STILL amazing!!

It's a GREAT song—with an amazing message—and I knew instantly I wanted to share it here.

So check it out the music video below—and let it encourage and lift your heart and spirit!

Lyrics are posted under it.





Where I Stand - Lyrics

What I see from where I stand,
I can't begin to comprehend,
Awaken fear, just to think—
How far some people will descend,

And what is now—has been before,
Over and over it's been ignored—

It is a heart—whatever soul,
That slaughters innocence—the end becomes a means,
A twisted faith, to justify a violent need,

Guided by lies and deceit,
Nothing the eyes should ever see—

Now—my heart is crying—deep beneath the voices lying,
I can't stand to see this evil anymore,

And while the world is sleeping,
We're condemned for just believing,
I can't stand to see this evil anymore,
Ohhh—

The true intent—has been laid bare,
I can't pretend it's just not real,
The time is now—we must be strong—and not allow it to prevail,

Father in heaven—hear our prayer,
Strengthen your souls—lost in despair,
Ohhh—

And now my heart is crying—deep beneath the voices lying,
I can't stand to see this evil anymore,

And while the world is sleeping,
We're condemned for just believing,
I can't stand to see this evil anymore,
Nooo—

Are we blind to all of this—in an effort to appease—
This restless feeling of unease?

Now my heart is crying—deep beneath the voices lying,
I can't stand to see this evil anymore,

And while the world is sleeping,
We're condemned for just believing,
I can't stand to see this evil anymore,
No—I can't stand this evil anymore,
Anymore—
