What have we become
Painted walls and stained glass windows
And our songs barely make it to the door
We take the mark of the Creator to deliver us from hell
And with the same breath we curse and scorn
There is a restlessness with which we go on living
We pray for peace, but we were made for war
Our honesty is empty within we hide the truth
We ask for “healing” so you won’t ask for more
We’ve turned our weapons into vessels of our choosing
We see our victories as burdens we must bear
The cross became an anchor instead of our salvation
And helplessness is all we seem to share
We’ve sacrificed Your name for their acceptance
We’ve watered down the truth because “we care”
Our doctrine changes with the tides of men’s perception
While we’ve promised them a life that isn’t theirs
Oh God will You assuage Your indignation
Will You stay Your hand of judgment one day more
Remind us that we are the plan and the planters
Remind us that there is a threshing floor
Oh my God will You forgive misguided passion
Won’t You change the way we’ve learned to see the world
Our vision has become the victim of our comfort
May we question not the road You lay before
Tear us down if that will make us stronger
Break our will until our will is Yours
In You we find our substance
In You we find our being
In You we find everything we were created for
The enemy has made his arrows ready
We will go now and make our final stand
Guide our feet with Your wisdom
And steady our hands
Though they might devour our bodies
With our breath we’ll say
One day He’ll come for our bones
And break down the enemy’s walls
And we will rise up against the storm
And we will overcome
Bring on the water
Bring on the flood
He’s come for vengeance
And we come for blood
This will be your last hour
You’ll feel the might of His hand
He’s the King of Kings
And He will be your end
He’s the Lord of Lords
He will know no end
