Essence Lyrics

Lord, you are the same, yesterday, today, and forever

Your love never changes, and your love never fails

You bring me to life. You hold me in your arms forever

Save me from myself. Save me from myself

Greatest joy of the greatest lessons. Every single word from your greatest essence

I can feel it in my bones. I can see it in my eyes

When I was a kid, I remember my demise. I hated you

I remember all those lonely nights. I would look up at the sky

I would ask you, little one, everything I done, everything I did

I felt like I was punished for just being a kid

I was so bent, so broken. Shattered to small pieces

Was lost just out in the open. Like drenched and secluded out in a dark ocean

So cold, I was frozen, living life like a token

Spending every word, every moment on lost causes, lost words that were spoken

Lord, I needed you. You were always there

But I never cared to take a second to notice that you cared

I hated myself. I got scars till I die

And when I look in the mirror, that remind me of that guy

The things that happened to me are happening all around the world

Lord, I could give just one second to stop it from happening to a little boy or girl

It eats me up, and there's nobody to truly know how you feel

It's like you reached into my heart. You picked out everything that wasn't real

You picked me like a fruit from the sprouting tree

You held me so close that my heart could be free

Free from sin and free from my pride

I'm no longer that man because that man had died

Along with my flesh and along with my sin

Lord, help me to move forward because you're where I begin

You're just gonna make it right tonight. You're just gonna stand and fight tonight

You can't believe what he did to me

Let me show you all your fears, your sight

Let me show you everything that hides

Let me show you darkness and the light

You can't believe what he did to me

All the way

Let it all away
