Listen to the heartbeat of separation.
Listen to the storm break.
Listen to the sound of a revolution.
Listen to the heart break.
But, o it’s amazing, your water rushing in.
And, o it’s consuming, you wash away our sin.
Look upon the children of liberty searching for their freedom.
Look upon the dream of a fallen king, seeking resurrection.
But, o it’s amazing, your water rushing in.
And, o it’s consuming, you wash away our sin.
And, o we can move them, the walls that hold us in.
And, o you remove them, the wages of our sin.
The guns scream of love and freedom,
But they can’t escape it, they can’t get relief.
We’re left with the wounded in our arms,
The blood in our streets,
How can this be?
Look at the broken in our family,
Sleeping in the alleys.
But, o we can reach them, the love you put within.
And, o we can move them, the walls that hold us in.
And, o we can move them, the walls that hold us in.
And, o you remove them, the wages of our sin.
We can love
