The Gospel

By Ryan Stevenson

Lyrics

A restless generation, we're turning over every stone

Hoping to find salvation in a world that's left us cold

Can we get back to the altar, back to the arms of our first love?

There's only one way to the father and he's calling out to us


To the captive it looks like freedom

To the orphan it feels like home

To the skeptic it might sound crazy

To believe in a God who loves

In a world where our hearts are breaking

And we're lost in the mess we've made

Like a blinding light in the dead of night

It's the Gospel, the Gospel that makes a way


It's the cure for our condition, it's the good news for us all It's greater than religion,

it's the power of the cross

So can we get back to the altar, back to the arms of our first love?

There's only one way to the father and he's calling out to us


To the captive it looks like freedom

To the orphan it feels like home

To the skeptic it might sound crazy

To believe in a God who loves

In a world where our hearts are breaking

And we're lost in the mess we've made

Like a blinding light in the dead of night

It's the Gospel, the Gospel that makes a way


In my own life it means forgiveness, when I know I deserved the fall

It called me out of my darkness, and carried me to the cross

In a moment my eyes were opened, in that moment my heart was changed

Like a blinding light in the dead of night it's the gospel


To the captive it looks like freedom

To the orphan it feels like home

To the skeptic it might sound crazy

To believe in a God who loves

In a world where our hearts are breaking

And we're lost in the mess we've made

Like a blinding light in the dead of night

It's the Gospel, the gospel that makes a way
