Josh Garrels Lyrics
"The Arrow"

An arrow
Stuck between my ribs,
And I pray to God don't let it end like this.
I fought like a man with a will to live,
But I was betrayed by the man within.
How love, did it all go down like this?
I've got no words to make sense of this.
My shield, my fight for righteousness could not protect me from myself.

I'm looking for the higher power,
To be my Knight and tower
Save me from my self
Aw yeah

Cause im a fall seven more times
Singing ain't nobody's fault except mine
There's only one way out
Oh

Please, God, forgive me, I'm down on my bended knee,
And I need your love.
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend .

How long did I fool myself
Believing I didn't need nobody's help?
A fool trusts in his power and his wealth,
Til it brought him down low
To a shadow of himself.

The arrow was sent to intervene;
It pierced my bones,
It shook me from my dream.

And Lord, you know exactly what I need;
Wounds from a friend,
Severe mercy.
I'm looking for the higher power,
To be my Knight and tower;
Save me from my self.
Aw yeah

Cause im a fall seven more times,
Singing ain't nobody's fault except mine,
There's only one way out.
Oh

Please, God, forgive me; I'm down on my bended knee,
And I need your love.
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend.
