Step Aside

I was walkin' with my brothers Through that acrid condition smell Just two clicks inside the delta We were walkin' into Hell Fightin' for the Crested Eagle Dealt a deadly hand of five Well we knew it was a-coming But we couldn't Step Aside Here we go Boys Just a priest in Jesus service With the Lords love did abide Man, nor God could sink that ship boys Bitter words and boastful pride He stood shakin' in the darkness Prayin' against the tide And he never seen it comin' But he couldn't Step Aside Woooh Oh Woah Oooh oh Yeah ahh yay Yeah Yeah Followed by instrumental That crown of thorns he's wearin' Held the light from seepin' in (High wail) . . . He was broken He was bleedin' As He suffered for our sins Please do not forsake me Father Redemption tears were all he cried An' God knows He seen it comin' But He wouldn't Step Aside Woooh Oh Woah Oooh Oh Yeah ahh yay Yeah Yeah Lord I know I hear you callin' Everyone I know feels so alone Oh my God what have we done Lord This world's turning cold as stone Midnight's burning us alive, Lord In a world we can't survive Will we stay or will we falter Will we stand, or Step Aside

Hey there, Richard. Inspired by a song by Evan Bartels called 2 at a time! I think you’d love him his work is immensely profound! Worth a Google.
