Destroy By Love Riot

It began long ago, when the darkness in it's deceit captured the hearts of the sons and daughters of light. We looked for light, but found only darkness. We searched for bright skies, but walked in gloom. We fumbled like the blind along the wall; feeling our way like people without eyes. We were destined to fall. Even in the brightest days, we stumbled in the dark. Among the living, we were like the dead. We looked for justice, but it never came. We looked for rescue, but it was far from us. So He Himself, stepped in to save us with His strong arm and His justice to sustain Him. He put on righteousness His armor, salvation His helmet. He clothed Himself in a robe of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of divine passion. He slipped out of His royal garments, left eternity to enter time, divinity to wrap Himself in humanity. The sea of glass for the ocean of separation. He left peace and for the first time felt pain, because the very hands that held the stars, were now sentenced to wear my scars. It was love that purchased this traitor's heart. It's what the Prophets spoke about when they envisioned light living in man once again. For this reason, I am legend. predestined for greatness, built for the final hour. I was born for this. With weapon in hand, armor in place, I know march to the beat of a different drum. I will break through battle lines that have been drawn by discouragement and despair. What more is left to be said? Time has met it's end. It's now or never. Collision with Me, Myself, and I. You see, my mission today is clear, awake the dead. So let freedom's song rage. You're not abandoned, You're not along. Last day warriors, Arise from yesterday's ash and raise your fist with us. We are the army that's charging against the land. Defeat is no longer an option, in His victory we stand.
We stand up, we rise up, to give our lives up for this. This burden, this passion, to burn a lifetime for You. Savior, send your presence to this dying world. We need it to breathe in so come and release Your fire again.
