Something Had to Be Done

When I first hear this song I was reminded of what Jesus did for me… for us. He gave me life. He gave me an opportunity to turn my life around.  

The wind is blowing cold…..Have we lost our way tonight?... Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

Jesus binds up our broken hearts and he sets us free from ourselves. He is hope, He is reconciliation, he is the great I Am. We all lose our way . Just like the wayward one.  We need a power greater than ourselves to restore our lives... to restore us to sanity. 

Are we every going to change... Can we stop the blood from running?

Something had to be done... Jesus took the punishment for me and you... we can't stop the blood from running over. Jesus knew all the pain we can inflict on each other, may it be physical, emotional or mental. Thats why he went to the cross. To end our suffering... Our time is running out, we need a better way... 

The wind is blowing cold

Have we lost our way tonight?

Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

Feels like we're all alone

Running further from what's right

And there are no more heroes to follow

So what are we becoming?

Where did we go wrong?

[Chorus:]

Yeah, oh yeah

I want to rise today

And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah

Oh, won't you rise today

And change this world?

The sun is beating down

Are we ever gonna change

Can we stop the blood from running?

Our time is running out

Hope we find a better way

Before we find we're left with nothing

For every life that's taken

So much love is wasted

[Chorus:]

Yeah, oh yeah

I want to rise today

And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah

So won't you rise today

And change

This world

Only love can set it right

This world

If only peace would never die

Seems to me that we've got each other wrong

Was the enemy just your brother all along?

[Chorus:]

Yeah, oh yeah

I want to rise today

And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah

Oh won't you rise today

And change this world?

Yeah, oh yeah

I want to rise today

And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah

I want to rise today

And change this world
