‘Round here
In the world depression blows in like the wind
Gets hard to find a new start
A place where life begins
‘Round here
Passion torments the righteous
Steals sight, gives only blindness
In a cold and lonely fear
‘Round here
In the world there’s a blaze of desires
Heated up like some tires
In a streetcar drag
‘Round here
Disease plaguing each and every soul
You find it deep within
Sin, under the skin
So right here I come before You
I give to You my heart
Right here You draw me closer to You
Jesus It’s so clear
Your love where You paid the cost
At the cross for a world so lost
Today is a new day, it’s a new day
Today is a new day, oh it’s a new day
“Round here
The world drives to make us all numb
Says there is no right, there ain’t no wrong
Forgot God, just sing our song
‘Round here
People beat up by their failures
Past years gone by
That just keep hanging up the present
‘Round here
TV feeds fear to the billions
They’re all longing for the answer
That’s not in ourselves
Chorus
Right here
I want to speak to my brothers and sisters
And to myself “yo D” make sure you’re listening
‘Round here
You only live if you lose your life
Die to the man
Who holds his burdens like a prize
‘Round here
I say rock the boat, do the unexpected
Speak God’s love till your time has ended
A testimony waits for you
Chorus
The world says You’re far away
Merely an idea in my head
But Lord I know better
No, I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down
Today is a new day, oh it’s a new day
Mercies new, new every morning
With you it’s a new day
Mercies new, new every morning
