about

"This song started as a collaboration with one of my roommates, Kevin. We sat down with a Bible and began looking through the Psalms for inspiration. We quickly stumbled upon Psalm 84 and it's description of a deep longing to be in the courts of the Lord caught our ears. The chorus came quickly, and I started creating an instrumental out of that. By the time we started recording the song, the chorus remained the only lyrics written. The day we needed to record vocals, I locked myself in a room with the notes from my recent devotionals and began combing through for ideas. Luckily, I had been reading from many passages that talk about stirring a hunger for the Lord, and the rest of the song was written within the hour the vocals were laid down." - Benjamin Mariano

lyrics

We come to You, for You are our Father
One by one, You have called us by name
You are calling us to draw closer
And there is no room here for our shame

So we are waking up from our slumber
For our deliverance is drawing near
We lift our heads, for the night is nearly over
The day You promised is almost here

We are giving up our vices, we are reaching out for truth;
Running towards our God in a endless pursuit
We long to enter Your courts; to rejoice in the house of the Lord
So until that day, we fix our eyes on You

There's nothing else for us to hold onto
From the world, You've set us apart
You're making beauty out of these ashes
In Your children, creating clean hearts

We worship You by loving our brothers
Showing grace in all that we do
We worship You, in truth and and in spirit
As we bind ourselves to You

We shout it loud for the enemy to hear;
"We are free and the war is won!"
We stand firm in the freedom You've given;
The chains of guilt are undone

In the world, we know we will have trouble
We will not fear the struggle it brings
For although we were caught in the valley of weeping
Through You, we have made it a spring
