about

A song about my experiences sharing the gospel on Towson's campus. Some of the common attitudes of those who think they don't need Christ.

lyrics

He's stumblin toward the edge, he thinks he knows it all, or at least quite a lot,
The questions he once had, he's answered in his head, and he's his own god,
And maybe someday, when life is more than he can take, he'll lean on someone else,
But right now he's feeling swell, and there's no such thing as hell, and if there is it's just as well, he'll get to that someday...

They're drawn toward death, oh hold them back,
They're staggering to slaughter, oh hold them back,
Like sheep without a shepherd, oh hold them back,
They wander in the desert, oh hold them back, hold them back!

She grew up in the faith, at least that's what she'd say, but the faith was never hers,
She went to Sunday School, but somewhere in all those rules, she missed His greatest treasure,
And right now she has no time, she can't have God in her life, she got enough of that back home,
And maybe someday, she'll get back in touch with her faith, and maybe she could even pray, but not today...

They're living in rebellion, oh hold them back,
They need someone to tell them, oh hold them back,
Maybe they don't wanna hear it, oh hold them back,
But we beg You Holy Spirit, please hold them back...

Come to me, all the weary, and all the heavy laden, and I will give you rest,
Seek my face, ask your questions, and I will be the answer, yes you can be born again,
There is hope for those in darkness, stumbling and lost, I will be the Light,
I'll hold you back from death and slaughter, the path your lives are on, yes I will give new Life,
So have compassion for your neighbor, struggling in sin, for you know what they lack,
Love them as yourself and give them every chance to turn, and you may hold them back!
