The Roar

We are yearning

Our hearts are burning

And the world keeps turning day by day.

We are aching

Hearts are breaking

And itís taking all we can do to say

Lord help us obey, Lord we pray

Show us your way.

We pray that youíll restore

Make a way, open the door

We ask and seek and knock

And we enter in once more.

And once we enter in

Let us be done with sin

In your presence there is glory in our core

Replace our cries with the overcomerís roar!

Forgive our trespasses and heal our diseases

A wayward heart does as it pleases

We are on a path

Where weíll either seek your love

Or see your wrath

Purify us with your fire

And make us new

Provide us with the faith that you require

So we may do what we must do.

We are not merely sinners

We are indwelt by Godís Son

We are more than we seem to be

By His blood we overcome

And though weíre meek and lowly

We have glory at our core

For we are the new creation

Hear the overcomers roar!
