  • We've prayed the prayer with no reply
    Words float off into the night
    Couldn't cut our doubt with the sharpest knife
    Oh, oh God forgive us
    Silence isn't comfortable
    We want drive through peace and instant hope
    Our shallow faith it has left us broke
    Oh, oh God forgive us
    Oh, oh God forgive us

    A slave to our uncertainty
    Help us with our unbelief
    Oh, oh God forgive us

    Young and old, black and white
    Rich and poor, there's no divide
    Hear the mighty, hear the powerless, singing
    Oh God forgive us
    Oh God forgive us

    A slave to our uncertainty
    Help us with our unbelief
    Oh, oh God forgive us

    With our white flag sailing in the night
    Eyes pointed to the sky
    Hands up and open wide, open wide
    With our white flag sailing in the night
    Eyes pointed to the sky
    Hands up and open wide, open wide
    With our white flag sailing in the night
    Eyes pointed to the sky
    Hands up and open wide, open wide
    With our white flag sailing in the night
    Eyes pointed to the sky
    Hands up and open wide, open wide

    Oh, oh God forgive us
    A slave to our uncertainty
    Help us with our unbelief
    Oh, oh God forgive us

    Run wild. To risk everything. To hold nothing back.
    To lay it all on the line: your reputation, your success, your comfort.
    It's that moment when fear is overcome by faith. Live free.
    It's not the liberty to do whatever you want whenever and wherever you want,
    But rather it's living in accordance with the author of humanity
    And finding freedom by connecting with the creator who conceived you.
    Let the light flood into your eyes for the first time.
    Feeling the blood course through your veins, finding the truest version of yourself
    By knowing the one who knows you even better than you know yourself.
    Love strong. Because you were first loved. Because without love we all perish.
    Because the earth and the stars can and will pass away, but love, love will always remain Writer/s: JOEL DAVID SMALLBONE, KEVIN BURGESS, LUKE SMALLBONE, SETH DAVID MOSLEY
