To spread Your love from above
Is our one and only mission
Now the goal is having control
It’s brought pride and division
Living was healing those who hurt
Now it’s giving out just desserts
“They burned us so we’ll burn them”
We’ve turned into little children
We’re doing what others do
God, please come to our rescue
Cleanse us
Of the people we’ve become
Mend us
Our hearts and souls are undone
Revive us
Touch again where we’re numb
Remind us
Where we’ve been brought from
In seasons of losing reason
We’ve planted seeds of suspicion
Unbridled, making humans idols
Greed has corrupted our vision
We’re looking away from You
God, please come to our rescue
Cleanse us
Of the people we’ve become
Mend us
Our hearts and souls are undone
Revive us
Touch again where we’re numb
Remind us
Where we’ve been brought from
You say it’s never too late
Save us before we break
Help us, we’re coming apart
Give us a brand new start
Cleanse us
Of the people we’ve become
Mend us
Our hearts and souls are undone
Revive us
Touch again where we’re numb
Remind us
Where we’ve been brought from
Cleanse us, mend us
Revive us, remind us who we are
