Damascus Road

Lyrics
Got the letters, feel the seal
Certainty, so sharp, so real
Thought I knew what God required
Cleansing flame, a holy fire
Every step, a judgment cast
Making sure the heresy won't last
Then the sky just broke in two
Something blinding rushing through
Brighter than a thousand suns
Silenced all my angry guns
Hit the ground before I knew
Me and all my loyal crew
Damascus road, blinding light
Swallowed whole the day and night
Felt the earth, I heard the sound
Voice that shook the solid ground
Just a question, piercing deep
"Saul, Saul, why persecute Me?"
Cracked the world I used to keep
Empty sockets where sight had been
Led by hands of other men
Phantom light behind the veil
Every breath a silent wail
Three whole days, a shade of grey
Felt the old world fall away
Waiting in the dark alone
For a seed of mercy to be sown
Damascus road, blinding light
Swallowed whole the day and night
Felt the earth, I heard the sound
Voice that shook the solid ground
Just a question, piercing deep
"Saul, Saul, why persecute Me?"
Cracked the world I used to keep
A stranger's touch, a whispered name
"Brother Saul," extinguished flame
Of the hatred, fear, and pride
Something shifted deep inside
Like dust, like scales, began to fall
Answered to a different call
And the light came flooding through
Everything I saw was new
Everything was new
Damascus road, blinding light
Opened up my inner sight
On the ground, I heard the sound
Love that shook the world around
Not just questions piercing deep
"You're the one I choose to keep."
Woke the man I was asleep
Same road dust beneath my feet
But the mission's bittersweet
Carry scars, but carry grace
See the light in every face
From the hunter to the called
By the voice that held me thrall
Jesus... saving Saul... Jesus... after all
