Lyrics from Jonah 33 - the strangest day

this is it (you instead of me)
Because I’m playing for keeps this time around
I’m in too deep
To think about falling down
And giving up again
I want to live each day just like
It was my last chance to prove
You’re all I have
And that is all I need
This is it, it’s what we’re waiting for!
This is it, it’s all we’re fighting for!
I finally get a chance to show the world
What You have done for me
So let this moment be
You instead of me
Tired and bruised, every broken bone
Reminds me that I’m far from home
And these scars remind me who I am
But You’re the one
the Reason that I run
And I won’t stop until You’re done
You’re the only hope I have
I’ve counted the cost and I know
Everything that matters is
Everything worth fighting for

tell me

All of my sincere apologies
Have been redirected unto you
It seems our halos have become
Simply loopholes that we use
For re-direction
Of our imperfection
Tell me is there something I can do
For you to help you change your view
And say I am not the enemy
Tell me, tell me, tell me
It appears you’ve become so content
Handing out your stubborn judgments
So show and tell your benefits
Of your beliefs and negligence
‘cause not so long ago
You used to be the one you hate
Broken trust
And a broken life
Create in you a twisted lie
Take a second glance
At what you can fit inside of your intellect
Then tell me then
How can it be God

solution
I want to be part of the solution
Can you use me to lead a revolution
As it stands from what I see
Everyone is drowning in their need
And nobody’s got an answer
They need to see this tragedy
For what it is and what it will be
That it braces our humanity
But this problem’s not my own
I want to be part of the solution
Can you use me to lead a revolution
I want to be part of the solution
Can you use me
Can you use me
Can you use me
Part of the solution

Desensitized

Subliminal images crawl upon my screen
Taking what is meant for good
And making it obscene
I’m so amazed at what sin’s become
I don’t want to be desensitized

seach me, know me
Search me, know me
Try me and see
Every worthless affection hidden in me
All I'm asking for is that You'd cleanse me, Lord
Create in me a heart that's clean
Conquer the power of secret shame
Come wash away the guilty stain of all my sin
Clothe me in robes of righteousness
Cover my nakedness with grace
All of my life before You now I humbly bring

Burning clean

Pleasure over principle is an open throated grave
It consumes you with ideas it portrays
The latest trends and fashions
Completely stripped of passion
I separate myself from anything that doesn’t bare your name
Burning clean from everything I used to be
Burning clean from everything I used to be
Apathy reminds me that I just don’t care
About a life of love for you
About the times we shared
How long can I live with blinders on
Remove these scales from my eyes
I give you my life
Reach inside, pull it out
Anything that makes me doubt
I’ll never be what I should be

Mystery
What’s it gonna take for the dead to wake in me?
What does it require to understand this fire inside
I want to comprehend where you start and where I end
The mystery behind you is consuming me
And I call conspiracy
You made yourself an endless maze of love
So I’d never give up
Don’t want to leave this mystery
I’ll never leave this mystery
So the question goes
Will I ever fully know the significance of the promises I’m told
And with this light inside is the dark afraid of me
Will the time come that I know?
Will the time come that I know?
If you ever came to me
To give me anything, anything at all
Your wisdom’s what I need
For I am just a fiend
That craves your mystery

the strangest day

And it might be the strangest day
The moment that you break away
It feels like it’s a big mistake
Finally waking up to the strangest day
Letting go of all you know
Rearranges you
It reconstructs your point of view
As time creeps by you’ll notice
Your eyes begin to focus
Soon enough you’ll find
It doesn’t matter what you’ve left behind

I just need to let go
Hey can you hear me
I need you to know
That if it’s all right with you
I just need to let go
‘Cause time waits for no one
Life carries on
And I’ll never forget you
I just need to let go
I just need to let go
