I Got Soul
M.C.M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord God have mercy
Shine down in glory
Light up this world
One soul at a time
Fill us with love for the lost ones
Tune our spirits to hear
Cries for mercy
You know what burdens
Lay heavy on hearts and minds
Give us strength to break every chain
Hopelessness. Helplessness
Fear, pain, and loss too deep for words
Take it away. Far, far away
Replace it tenfold with hope
and peace too deep for words
Lord God have mercy
Shine down in glory
Light up this world
One soul at a time
No darkness can stand
Where your words are heard
So, fill our voices with your praise
We'll tear down the walls
Surrounding the lost ones
And call them to come home
Fill us with boldness
Fill us with brightness




Use us to light up this world
One soul at a time
