From the recording Holy
This song has been around a while, but was only recorded this year. I played acoustic guitar and sang a guide track for this song. Jim, Rick, Tim and I then played the drums, bass, lead guitar, rhythm guitar all together. Tim came back a week or so later and asked for another take on the lead, he kept hearing something better in his sleep. Rick overdubbed the bass again also. Lance Butler was at the house for Thanksgiving and added a rock organ. To finish it off, Libby Glassley joined Rick on harmony vocals.
Lyrics
RESCUED
C#m B
Somewhere there in the heart
A C#m
Raging battle tears apart
C#m B A
Torn between the wrong and the right.
C#m B
The war within the lonely tears,
A C#m
The silent cry that no one hears.
C#m B A
Pulled between the darkness and the light.
E B A B
I want to tell you what Jesus can do.
E B A B
He saved my life He can rescue yours too.
(CHORUS)
E B
Stand tall, heed the call,
C#m A
Jesus died for one and all.
E B C#m A
Time is close the line is being drawn.
E B
Hear Him, choose Him,
C#m A
You don't want to lose Him.
E B F#m
You could never make it on your own.
C#m B
Mistakes, confusion,
A C#m
Maybe you bought the grand delusion.
C#m B A
It's not to late to be turning around.
C#m B
Confess, redress,
A C#m
Clothed anew in His righteousness.
C#m B A
Oh You can stand on Holy ground.
E B A B
I want to tell you what Jesus can do.
E B A B
He saved my life He can rescue yours too.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
C#m B
You try, you fail
A C#m
You struggle in a living hell.
C#m B A
Do you long to lay that burden down?
C#m B
You doubt, you fear
A C#m
Still Jesus longs to draw you near.
C#m B A
Once I was lost but I am found.
E B A B
I want to tell you what Jesus can do.
E B A B
He saved my life He can rescue yours too.
(REPEAT CHORUS)2X
LAST TIME
E B
Stand tall, heed the call,
C#m A
Jesus died for one and all.
E B C#m A
Time is close the line is being drawn.
E B
Hear Him, choose Him,
C#m A
You don't want to lose Him.
E B F#m
You could never make it on your own.
