The Ballad Of St. Augustine Lyrics

Psalm 51:1-17; Psalm 32:1-7; / Words by Kevin Young / Music by Kevin Young, Micah Sannan,
Andrew Welch, & Israel Beachy // The air is leaving here / It’s getting hard to breathe, I’m choking (Matthew 13:22) // The fracture was innocent /
A miniature compromise that exploded (James 1:15) // Inside my atmosphere / And now the paradigm is shifting (John 8:34) // A good man was living here
/ Virtuous evidence has all but disappeared (James 2:10) // Right was wrong when wrong went right (Romans 1:22; Romans 7:15) / I’m fading / Black has
turned to gray inside (Revelation 3:16) / And I know that I need saving, can You save me? (Psalm 130:1-8) / Take me away to where You are (John 14:3) /
Cause I won’t leave without it (Genesis 32:26) // Involuntary fast / The bread that never lasts, I’m starving (Matthew 4:4) // Sanity shackled here / The key is in my hand, but I’m frozen (Isaiah 52:2) // Revelation sings / Justice delivery is blinding (Proverbs 1:2-3) // My death is imminent / I’d rather die with You than
utterly alone (2 Samuel 24:14) // CHORUS Welcome back my innocence (Psalm 32:1-2) / How I have so longed to see your face again (Psalm 51:11-12) / Overwhelmed
I say goodbye / As the pages turn I say goodbye / Passing by the end of my life (2 Corinthians 5:17) // Pages turn, memories buring away / Ashes celebrate
(Hebrews 12:29) / You’re washing me, consuming me (Revelation 1:5) / As I’m falling on Your sword (Ephesians 6:17) / You’re washing me, branding me
with grace (Galatians 6:17; 2 Corinthians 12:9) / Innocence reborn (John 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23) // CHORUS
