Sovereign
Ever since the fall we've been sewing fig leaves
Covering our shame with remedies that fail and fade away
Forgetting that you're holy, you're the judge of all things
Turned a river to blood and rained down fire
The God of the flood whose justice is righteous
But everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes
We honor you with lip service deny you with our lives
We want the freedom but none of the consequence
Oh won't you save us from ourselves 'cause we need a sovereign
We need a sovereign, yeah
From the mountaintop you set the standard in stone
We could never live up to it on our own
Instead of leaning on you we're making statues of gold
We're gonna do it our way and make strange fire
How could you delight in such a tainted sacrifice
When everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes
We honor you with lip service deny you with our lives
We want the freedom but none of the consequence
Oh won't you save us from ourselves 'cause we need a sovereign, yeah
We need a sovereign
Don't let me forget you are the holy one
There are no kid gloves
You can pass judgment
I need a King whose mercy's always good for me
Yeah I do believe
That you're the only one
The only one who's worthy
When everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes
We honor you with lip service deny you with our lives
We want the freedom but none of the consequence
Oh won't you save us from ourselves 'cause we need a sovereign, yeah
We need a sovereign (won't you save us)
(Won't you save us)
(Won't you save us)
(Won't you save us)
We need a sovereign
Covering our shame with remedies that fail and fade away
Forgetting that you're holy, you're the judge of all things
Turned a river to blood and rained down fire
The God of the flood whose justice is righteous
But everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes
We honor you with lip service deny you with our lives
We want the freedom but none of the consequence
Oh won't you save us from ourselves 'cause we need a sovereign
We need a sovereign, yeah
From the mountaintop you set the standard in stone
We could never live up to it on our own
Instead of leaning on you we're making statues of gold
We're gonna do it our way and make strange fire
How could you delight in such a tainted sacrifice
When everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes
We honor you with lip service deny you with our lives
We want the freedom but none of the consequence
Oh won't you save us from ourselves 'cause we need a sovereign, yeah
We need a sovereign
Don't let me forget you are the holy one
There are no kid gloves
You can pass judgment
I need a King whose mercy's always good for me
Yeah I do believe
That you're the only one
The only one who's worthy
When everyone is doing what is right in their own eyes
We honor you with lip service deny you with our lives
We want the freedom but none of the consequence
Oh won't you save us from ourselves 'cause we need a sovereign, yeah
We need a sovereign (won't you save us)
(Won't you save us)
(Won't you save us)
(Won't you save us)
We need a sovereign
