I've got an anthem...

[rhymarhyma]

I walk through the flames with one claim to fame
I dance, I scream, I even dream your name...

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!...Forgiver of my past
The madness passed right by as I called your name at last
"Lord, make a way and help me break away
Take away the pain that I caused yesterday"
and in a Love Giveaway you came and gave me all your love
now this day that you've made is the only one I'm thinking of
Lord knows they'll go, memories run one-by-one
for the shadows cannot stand against my moments in the Son

You want an anthem? I've got an anthem
Jesus Christ died crucified for our ransom
You want an anthem? I've got an anthem
Now he lives again, Amen, just ask him

So it begins, arms wide open as we meet
with my sins splashed across his hands and feet...

Emerald rainbows, the sun sackcloth black
The pain I hold inside my mind, he wants it all back
I came across a cross that I had tossed long ago
when I was dirty, lost, exhausted...the throes of death on death row
Exonerated, reinstated, the tears faded from my eyes
I threw my hands up to the skies and I began to realize
in the middle of the night it's my own darkness that I fight
but those shadows could not exist were it not for the Light

You want an anthem? I've got an anthem
Jesus Christ died crucified for our ransom
You want an anthem? I've got an anthem
Now he lives again, Amen, just ask him

I now march the march of ethereal love
Celestial orchestration guided by the One above
I offer heart, mind, body and soul to you
in hopes that everybody can feel love so true
and I do what I do for no reason other
than you are my neighbor, my sister, my brother
Christ died to spread the light in a world gone black
knowing, even knowing...some would never love him back

You want an anthem? I've got an anthem...
