[Verse 1:]
This city, Lord, it is yours
[Pre-Chorus:]
So break our hearts, break our hearts
For the people who are far from you
Break our hearts
[Chorus:]
Teach us to love, the way you loved us
Send us out, send us out
Pour out your fire, and flow through our lives
Send us out, send us out
[Verse]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
The heart in my chest, it is beating so fast
I can hardly contain all the hope in my veins
As I see you alive in this city arise
Like the sun shining bright
We see darkness and night run from our lives
[Verse Vamp:]
This city, Lord, it is yours
[Chorus 2:]
Teach us to love, the way you loved us
Send us out, send us out
Pour out your fire, and flow through our lives
Send us out, send us out
We'll take to the streets with fire in our hearts
Send us out, send us out
