With the Destroyer

With the destroyer I’m dead
only God could resurrect me
It’s a strong poison we’re fed
Holy Father, resurrect me
Although I have a bed
the grave is where I’ve slept
oh, Father, come and get me
my spirit sighs
in the silent roar of the battle

With the destroyer I’m lost
only Christ could somehow find me
Like a young boy who is caught
Jesus Christ must somehow find me
Although I walk abroad
there’s much too much that’s wrong
oh, Jesus, you must guide me
my spirit sighs
in the silent roar of the battle
singing quiet songs of our country

Construction and destruction…
as love and apathy…
my spirit sighs
in the silent roar of the battle
singing quiet songs of our country
wondering who will soar in the strato-

Take me to that safe place
All the way to your secure space
Away, from here
Far away, from here

With the destroyer I’m mad
Holy Ghost, please help, I’m angry
With my bad choices, I’m sad
Holy Spirit, I’m real cranky
Although I’ve had some fun
I’m slow to know your love
oh, Spirit, give me strength, now
my spirit sighs
in the silent roar of the battle
singing quiet songs of our country
wondering who will soar in the strato-
when the new day dawns and it’s lovely
