All this pain I feel

Wont tear me down, wont tear me down

[Chorus]

I'm taking control

of this life I live

To you I give

This life in pieces

These walls are shattered

The earth is shaking

But your love is sound

We don't deserve your grace

Oh in Jesus Christ

All these walls knocked down

I've been set free

You rescued me
