Oh benevolent sovereign
Are you entertained
Is your stomach full from all the gut checks I must take
Oh lofty ruler
Must you keep smacking against my wrists
Against my will and the antique construction of my faith
I told you in confidence that I needed to be healed
I told you with confidence but you never met me hear
You say draw near and you will surly come close
But Im waiting in the parking lot and you seem to be a no show
Cause if it takes a black eye to be sanctified
I’m willing to throw the first punch
If it takes all night I’ll make the sacrifice
To be bruised by you
If it takes a black eye to be sanctified
I’m willing to throw the first punch
To prove to you
That my motives are pure and true
Oh Heavenly Father
Is it all worth the chase
Cause I’m breathless for my soul is out of shape
I’m loosing confidence cause I’ve been left out in the cold
I’m loosing confidence cause the schtick is starting to get old
Cause if it takes a black eye to be sanctified
I’m willing to throw the first punch
If it takes all night I’ll make the sacrifice
To be bruised by you
If it takes a black eye to be sanctified
I’m willing to throw the first punch
To prove to you
That my motives are pure and true
You’ve torn down my cities
Just to come and rebuild the walls
You’ve destroyed my faith
Just to learn there was not much remaining after all
I’ll do whatever it takes
To have what’s weak restored
I’ll do whatever it takes
I’m ready
I’m ready
I’m ready to do whatever it takes
I’m ready
I’m ready
I’m ready to do whatever it takes
If it takes a black eye to be sanctified
Go ahead and throw the first punch
If it takes all night I’ll make the sacrifice
I’m ready I’m ready
If it takes a black eye to be sanctified
Go ahead and throw the first punch
I’m ready to do whatever it takes
