From the recording My Heart Plays These Songs
Lyrics
Gilead
(Effron White)
Go into your room and pray
Lay everything before the Lord
Don’t make a show of what you say
Just fall upon the sacred sword
CHORUS:
Give it up surrender all
Dive deep into the holy vat
Allow yourself to hear the call
And let it echo all the way to Gilead
Pride will get you nowhere here
Forget the gold and shiny gloss
Humbleness will defeat the fear
And claim your key to the bolted vaults
Chorus
Testify it from your core
The temple of your heart of hearts
The nitty gritty blood and gore
From your sanctuary of the arts
Chorus
Instrumental Break
Now an inner voice on the intercom
Says for the sake of wounded souls
Here’s a miracle healing balm
To soothe the beaten from their blows
Chorus
Go into your room and pray
Lay everything before the Lord
Don’t make a show of what you say
Just fall upon the sacred sword
Chorus
Repeat Chorus
