about

This is the original, full length version of the song, presented to you as I always intended.

lyrics

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

The home I knew is gone, it’s one you’ll never know
So much I cherished seems broken beyond repair
Now I’m torn in between: Should we stay or (should we) go?
The land we made our home, slips deeper on into despair

Instrumental Break

Verse 2

We’ve been patient, and we’ve hoped
For better days to come
What we’ve prayed for, waited up for
Seems like a distant dream
Now we know that, all we need
Is only found in You
Help us hold on, as we look
For how You will redeem

Chorus

Elevation x3
Lift us up out of the mire

Elevation x3
We know You’re here to set our souls on fire

We know You’re here to set our souls on fire x4

Verse 3

Darkness shrouds our, weary land
And it smothers while it takes
We’re so tired, oh so tired
As we try to stay awake
Help us Lord, oh, this our cry
Our bodies start to shake
Hanging on now, for dear life
A bruised reed you won’t break

Repeat Chorus
