Party Down

Andre Benjamin said it better than anyone ever can

But I'll try and spell it out differently for you

My friends all used to sing along to all of my old drinking songs

But now the time has come for something new

And it's a fine line tiptoeing between the thoughts I have within

And things I've said so loudly in the past

I wanna sing of love and grace

And mostly the eternal place my soul is gonna wind up in at last

But my friends don't want to party down to that, no

No, no, no my friends don't want to party down to that

No, no, no my friends don't want to party down to that

I can't look in the mirror at the face of a liar

Who gives into the fear, who still acts like a child

Give me what I want when I want

I'll numb the pain then hide the shame

I feel so unlike myself I can't remember my name

Then you called me by name

Father I hear you. Father I wanna be near You

Father I feel so alone - I'm surrounded by people that don't even fear You

Lord, give me my daily bread

Lord, turn off this noise in my head

When I feel like I can't go on, Lord, help me remember the words that You said

You said You'd never forsake me

You said the devil can't take me

Lord, I'm right here on my knees

I'm praying, I'm crying, believing You make me

More like you, I fight through

This night moves in light, too

You shine through this darkness that surrounds me

Everything I am is now found inside You

I died to myself when I fell down on the ground and I cried to

The perfect Son of Man

And guess what?

He really heard me, He saved me

He turned me around, made me

I'm nothing close to perfect, but I'm someone who deserves to find his way

Through this, I knew this

Before years of addiction lied to me and said

That I'd never do this

And that I'd never do that

I've wasted almost half my life that I'm never gonna get back

No one wants to party down

No one wants to party down like that

Yeah, no one wants to party down like that

Yeah, no one wants to party down like that
