Break The Chains

Verse 1
There’s so much evil in this world, Lord, we don’t know what to do
We feel it deep inside our hearts, and every day we cry to You
Tell us, Lord, what path to take
Our only comfort is in the shelter You make
Pre-chorus
We need You, Lord, stretch out Your hand
Wipe the wickedness from this land
Chorus
Cover us, Lord, in Your holy reign
Guard our hearts and break these chains
We will rise, we will stand
By Your mercy, heal this land
Verse 2
Should we harden our hearts — would that set us free?
Or are we meant to feel the weight, this sensitivity?
We long to live, to laugh, to sing
But this world makes it hard to do anything
Pre-chorus
We need You, Lord, stretch out Your hand
Wipe the wickedness from this land
Chorus
Cover us, Lord, in Your holy reign
Guard our hearts and break these chains
We will rise, we will stand
By Your mercy, heal this land
Bridge
Maybe we just need to toughen up
But our hearts are heavy now
So we put on our armor, we pray through the pain
Still believing You’ll break every chain
Outro
Don’t let the darkness stay
We’ll be with You, fighting — until the end of days
Yes, we’ll be with You, fighting — until the end of days
