lyrics

I used to do things man that never made sense/ Satan was the light of my fire/ I was the incense/ burning til my flesh became crispy/ then I turned to ash/ Satan bought my body to break/ he didn't pay cash/ gave me things 'cause I lust and had to have it all/ thought I was living it large but in the end I'd fall/ consciousness seemed to loose in flesh/ my mind mixed between sin and saved/ it was in a mess/ oh yes/ progress it didn't happen/ it couldn't/ I ran further from the light/ somehow I knew that I shouldn't/ and I was looking for what?/ I need a way to fill this gap/ preacher man tried to tell/ but I was taking a nap/ I was trapped/ that's when he took me and broke me inside/ revival in the church/ that's when I felt the Lord by my side/ I couldn't hide/ I felt a change when I prayed in God's name/ God forgave me for my sins/ I know I'll never be the same

Chorus: And now I'm walking with faith/ I'm waking with truth/ and everything I do/ Lord now I do it for you/ I'll carry my cross/ Lord won't you lead me today?/ keep me from sin/ I pray now 'cause you're my getaway/ and now I'm walking with faith/ I'm walking with truth/ and everything I do/ Lord now I do it for you/ I'll carry my cross/ Lord won't you lead me today?/ keep me from sin now 'cause you're my getaway

I need a jump start/ maybe a push/ because I can't seem to keep my faith grounded on the solid rock/ and I don't want to hide the spirit inside/ 'cause the majority of people are still trapped in the lie/ and I have been redeemed/ God wiped the slate clean on the cross as he leaned to carry my sin and obscene gestures/ for those who know not what they do/ he said forgive them father as his face turns blue/ then gasping for air as he was held so high/ he said it's done/ and with a tear from the eye/ I never wanted to imagine why they tortured him so/ I guess it's for the years we've spent living out of control/ and Lord I'm shaking like the temple hoping that I won't fall/ use me as your vessel Lord I want to hear when you call/ I thank you for the gift and never really cared to be rich/ because I'm rich when you dig me out of the 6 foot ditch

Chorus: And now I'm walking with faith/ I'm waking with truth/ and everything I do/ Lord now I do it for you/ I'll carry my cross/ Lord won't you lead me today?/ keep me from sin/ I pray now 'cause you're my getaway/ and now I'm walking with faith/ I'm walking with truth/ and everything I do/ Lord now I do it for you/ I'll carry my cross/ Lord won't you lead me today?/ keep me from sin now 'cause you're my getaway

In this life I don't want to waste my time with all things blocking my vision from living life devine/ and I find I'm getting caught in a mixture of both/ but the sin that I have seems to get me the most/ and Lord I want to break away and be a vessel for you/ and I know you've felt my heart and all the sin I go through/ so what to do?/ don't want to waste my life by turning away/ so today Lord I repent for all my evil ways/ I want to see like you see and feel what you feel/ is it at all possible to feel so real/ to heal and walk on water/ I believe that you did/ and I know that it's true because it's what the Bible says/ I never doubt it for a second and I'm happy to say/ I rep Jesus the Christ for all the rest of my days/ and when you choose to bring the rapture/ I know you'll carry me home/ but until that day comes/ I'll serve you with a microphone

Chorus: And now I'm walking with faith/ I'm waking with truth/ and everything I do/ Lord now I do it for you/ I'll carry my cross/ Lord won't you lead me today?/ keep me from sin/ I pray now 'cause you're my getaway/ and now I'm walking with faith/ I'm walking with truth/ and everything I do/ Lord now I do it for you/ I'll carry my cross/ Lord won't you lead me today?/ keep me from sin now 'cause you're my getaway
