The World Got Loud

(Heavy, distorted guitar riff kicks in)

Verse 1
Come, thou Fount of every single thing
Tune my heart to the static that you bring
These streams of mercy, they just won't cease
They call for praise but I'm begging for release

Show me a sonnet, a broken melody
Sung by the fire that's burning over me
Praise the mount! Yeah, I'm fixed right here
On a love that's unchanging, silencing the fear

Chorus
And I raise my monument, my Ebenezer
Said I'm coming home, hope that I can please her
I was lost, a ghost, a stranger in the crowd
Heard the call, saw the light, then the world got loud
He stepped in the danger, a blur in the red
Interposed his precious blood for the words I never said

Verse 2
Oh, to that grace, I’m a debtor every day
Constrained by a chain I can't throw away
Let that grace now, like a fetter on my soul
Bind this wandering heart, take back the control

I'm prone to wander, Lord, I feel the pull
To leave the one I love, to break every rule
Here’s my heart, cracked and open wide
Oh, take and seal it, on the courts of the tide

Chorus
And I raise my monument, my Ebenezer
Said I'm coming home, hope that I can please her
I was lost, a ghost, a stranger in the crowd
Heard the call, saw the light, then the world got loud
He stepped in the danger, a blur in the red
Interposed his precious blood for the words I never said

Bridge
(Tempo slows, bass line prominent)
I’m fixed upon it, I'm fixed upon it
Is the world's noise louder than the sonnet?
Prone to wander, prone to leave...

Guitar Solo
(Intense, melodic, then fades into feedback)

Outro
Seal it for your courts above
Seal it for your unchanging love
(Whispered)
Tune my heart... sing your grace...
(Drum hit, abrupt cut to silence)
