lirik lagu russ mohr - a prayer for the people
[intro]
[verse 1]
this feels dangerous
oh, and it’s taking us so long now
just to get to the starting line, to the starting line
and what’s been safe for us
it’s really been breaking us
all along now
search our hearts, bring it all to light
bring it all to light
[pre~chorus]
and when it feels like it costs too much
would you teach us compassion and love
[chorus]
oh, would you give us ears to hear?
give us eyes to see?
grant us grace and courage, keep us on our knees?
would you make us quick to learn?
make us slow to speak?
grant us grace and courage, keep us on our knees?
[post~chorus]
because the cross you gave
is the cost you paid for us
i know
[verse 2]
and we’re so problematic
it’s almost automatic, yeah, we don’t wanna be
so uncomfortable, it’s so unnatural
but i know we can’t afford to ignore it so
melt our defenses
awaken all of our senses
so we can see what our brothers see
and so we can weep when our brothers weep
[pre~chorus]
oh, and it feels like it just costs too much
oh, will you teach us compassion and love?
[chorus]
yeah, would you give us ears to hear?
and give us eyes to see?
grant us grace and courage, keep us on our knees?
yeah, would you make us quick to learn?
and make us slow to speak?
and grant us grace and courage, keep us on our knees?
[post~chorus]
oh, ’cause the cross you gave
is the cost you paid for us
yeah, i know
[bridge]
we can do better
oh, we can do better
we can do better
and i know we can do better
and we can be better
we can be better, ohhh
we can be better
god, would you heal us?
and would you make us new again?
god, make us better
oh god, make us better
god, make us better
only you, god, only you
only you can make us better
[chorus]
give us ears to hear
and give us eyes to see
lord, grant us grace and courage, keep us on our knees
oh, keep us humble, lord and make us
make us quick to learn (make us quick to learn)
make us slow to speak (slow to anger, slow to speak)
grant us grace and courage, keep us on our knees (keep us on our knees)
[post~chorus]
because the cross you gave
is the cost you paid for us
yes, it is
thank you, lord, mm
said the cross you gave
is the cost you paid for us
[outro]
(oh~oh~oh~oh)
oh~oh~oh (oh~oh~oh~oh)
ooh~ooh~ooh (oh~oh~oh~oh)
only you can make us better (oh~oh~oh~oh)
yeah, yeah
