lyrics

Meagan, among searching hearts, stumbled between pews, and sang “Oh, how He loves” to help her make it through. Caught sparks on her feet, joined Pentecostal regimes. She pledged allegiance while she’s satisfied. Can I opt out of this counseling plan? I’ll be searching for a king.

I claim death to the self-help gospel. Rest to the war inside that’s guarding your own neck. I’ve come to see: glorious warfare is what we need if it’s love we seek.

Oh, Ben - ambitious and slick – was climbing the rungs; he praised God for the platform where his songs were sung. The ladder corroded and sent him flat on his back. He raised a finger to the sky cause he’s not satisfied. I opt out of this counseling plan. I’ll be searching for a king.

I claim death to the self-help gospel. Arrest the war inside that’s guarding your own neck. I’ve come to see: glorious warfare is what we need.

We fight from victory – not towards the place where we can be at ease. We fight from victory – not towards the place where we can feel at ease.
