Give me the call and the power to be
Show me the will to lead and see me reign
Take me to a higher pain
Sever the burden and tell me to run
Open the gates of mercy when i come
Give me every want in vain...
Or give me none
Give me...
Eyes wide
See red
I'm why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don't forget
I'm why Jesus wept
Show me the weight of a fury divine
Bury the dark inside, let waste the flood
Drown us in holy blood
We are the shallow, the scoffers of Hell
Shatter the path of self into the black
Take me to the end of hope...
And bring me back
Give me...
Eyes wide
See red
I'm why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don't forget
Eyes wide
See red
I'm why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don't forget
I'm why Jesus wept
Give me...
Eyes wide
See red
I'm why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don't forget
I'm why
Eyes wide
See red
I'm why
Bloodshed
Eyes wide
So I don't forget
I'm why Jesus wept
“I consider this song a reminder to myself. I get so wrapped up in the repetition of daily life, I often forget the cost of it all; the price that was paid so I could live abundantly in God’s grace and mercy. I think I’ve come to expect a certain amount of balance in life – seldom looking back to see how it all lined up.
Truthfully, my modus operandi most days is to be my own God – to serve myself before all others. I’m not proud of that fact, but I’m also not delusional about it. Ironically, the behaviors I so vehemently stand against are things I also see in myself. As incongruent as that makes me, I think it does allow me to write about many issues with a certain amount of proficiency. In many cases I’m blaming myself just as much as anyone else"
