It Starts With Us (feat. Jessie Thetford)

The dark in our eyes rooted deep inside We desperately cry (why must we divide?) We look for a fight (to hide our shame inside) A counterfeit mind (we wear a mask of lies) We darken the light (why do we still fight?) The light in our eyes rooted deep inside Yet we desperately hide (leaving life behind) We run from the fight (for fear of what we find) The truth of our crimes (covered by our lies) We darken the light (why do we still fight?) It starts with us, Be the first Ones to revise Be the light It Starts with us, Be the first Ones to rewrite Be the light He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:29-31) It starts with us, Be the first Ones to revise (The way we speak to one another) Be the light (For gospel cannot find its way, from callous hearts closed off in vein) It Starts with us, Be the first Ones to rewrite (The expectation of opposition) Be the light (be the light) For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them (Matthew 13:15)
