Currency

You went searchin'
To heal your hurtin'
They've got nothin' left to prescribe
Arise oh sleeper
The problem's deeper
Than all these symptoms you try to refine

My betrothed
I'll make you whole

So tell me why you spend your time on
Counterfeit gold
Artificial stories they sold you
When I gave my life to make you mine
Oh, forget what they told you, child
Just let me hold you while

The dark of night engulfs your mind with
These anxious thoughts
Lies you bought, gods you sought
To satisfy, won't you lay down the fight
And finally see the sufficiency of my currency
To set you free

Deconstruction
Left you wantin'
You got no anchor in the seas of grief
When currents pull you and harbors fool you
With a false sense of security
Child of light, leave those tides behind

You say your faith's now nothing but a memory
Of a kid who was always told to believe
But now you've grown older, now you can see
That it was nothing more than naivety
Where does that cynicism bring you to
Can your apathy bind up all your wounds
What a tragedy that you're trying to prove
That hope is merely leverage for a privileged few

With grace and truth now polarized
You'll never find love, you'll only find lies
While your eyes are blind to a thin disguise
And your broken mind doesn't realize
That you were made for a kingdom come
To dwell in the shadow of a risen Son
Who gave his own body, shed his own blood

So tell me why you spend your time on
Counterfeit gold
Artificial stories they sold you
When I gave my life to make you mine
Oh, forget what they told you, child
Just let me hold you while

The dark of night engulfs your mind with
These anxious thoughts
Lies you bought, gods you sought
To satisfy, won't you lay down the fight
And finally see the sufficiency of my currency

To set you free
To set you free
Oh, set you free
Set you free
