The Shadows Lyrics

Look in the shadows

Shine a light on

A monster who knows they've got it all wrong

Push them further into darkness

Shove them down

They don't deserve bliss

Just look at the things that they've done

Listen to the words they've spoken

They need to be taught a lesson

Stone them for their ill transgressions

But when the noise settles

And the smoke all clears

All that's left are squandered dreams

And shattered mirrors

Just show them love

Would it really end the world

To let them know they're enough

To let them know they have worth

'Cause we should all be in the gallows

But Jesus pulled us from the shadows

He could've condemned us as we killed him

But instead He said

Father forgive them

So quell your judgments

And release your fears

He doesn't see the same things

As you do in those mirrors

He showed you love

Would it really end the world

To extend His love to the lost

To act like He really paid the cost

Look in their eyes

Look past their walls of steely ice

I know what you see 'cause I see it too

They're just like me

They're just like you

Father forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us

Reach out your heart

Stop tearing those in need apart

It could be more than you're willing to chew

But you need grace and they need it too

One day we will be

Face to face with the One True King

And He'll forgive us as we forgave

So start now

Let the past be erased
