Skillet Song Lyrics

Salvation

Lyrics:

[Introduction that is at the end of the previous track, "Madness in Me".
Little girl recites Isaiah 53:5-6:]
[Jen Ledger:] Are you far?
[Jen Ledger:] Am I left to die?
[Jen Ledger:] Will You come to my rescue?
[Little girl:] He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins.
[Jen Ledger:] My heart will burn for You.
[Little girl:] He was beaten so we could be whole.
[John Cooper:] You're keepin' me alive.
[Jen Ledger:] My heart will burn for You.
[Little girl:] He was whipped so we could be healed.
[John Cooper:] You're keepin' me alive.
[Jen Ledger & John Cooper:] My heart will burn for You.
[Little girl:] All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
[Little girl:] We have left God's paths to follow our own.
[Jen Ledger:] It's all I can do..
[Little girl:] Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.

All alone, lost in this abyss
Crawling in the dark
Nothing to wet my longing lips
And I wonder where you are

Are you far?
Will you come to my rescue?
Am I left to die?
But I can't give up on you

I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
Oh oh, yeah yeah
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
Oh oh, yeah yeah

My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do

Salvation
Salvation
(Keeping me alive)
Salvation
(You're keeping me)
Salvation
(You're keeping me alive)

Been out from under who I am
And who I want to be
Held you tightly in my hands
Why are we unraveling?

Was it me?
Will you come to my rescue
Or did I push to far
When I turned my back on you?

I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
Oh oh, yeah yeah
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
Oh oh, yeah yeah

My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do

Salvation
Salvation
(Keeping me alive)
Salvation

Touch you, taste you, feel you, need you
Give it all just to find you
Hold me, heal me
I will find you

Keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
Oh oh, yeah yeah
Our love will never die
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
Oh oh, yeah yeah

My heart will burn for you
It's all I can do

Salvation
Salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you, need you
Salvation
