Surgical steel Salvation

Lyrics

Verse 1**
*I’m a stained glass saint with cracks in my chest,*
*A heart made of gravel, a soul in arrest.*
*I built this altar from razorblade hymns,*
*And lit it with matches where Your light should’ve been.*
*The pews of my ribs creak with the weight,*
*Of every "Amen" I choked down too late.*
*These hands—they’re thieves, but they’re beggars tonight,*
*Jesus, cut through the concrete… I’m done with the fight.*

**Chorus**
*Rip out this heart of stone, I’m screaming,*
*Carve Your cursed commandments where the scars are still bleeding.*
*I’m a fossil of fury, a ghost in confession—*
*Break me with mercy, perform the incision!*
*Write Your law on my bones, make the fractures Your scroll,*
*Let the sutures sing hallelujah for the wreck You stole.*
*I’m a dead man begging for a pulse that’s divine—*
*Replace this rock with a wildfire…*
*…and call it mine.*

**Verse 2**
*I’ve kissed the poison, wore doubt like a crown,*
*Let the rats of my rage chew the roots of me down.*
*My veins are a prison, my prayers just static,*
*A hymnbook of ashes, half-hearted, erratic.*
*But the night’s got a knife, and the knife’s got a name—*
*"Jealous," You whisper, as the scalpels rearrange.*
*I’m strapped to the table of grace against will,*
*Your love’s not a bandage… it’s the kill.**

**Chorus**
*Rip out this heart of stone, I’m screaming,*
*Carve Your cursed commandments where the scars are still bleeding.*
*I’m a fossil of fury, a ghost in confession—*
*Break me with mercy, perform the incision!*
*Write Your law on my bones, make the fractures Your scroll,*
*Let the sutures sing hallelujah for the wreck You stole.*
*I’m a dead man begging for a pulse that’s divine—*
*Replace this rock with a wildfire…*
*…and call it mine.*

**Bridge**
*The anesthesia’s Your wrath, the IV’s Your grace,*
*You tourniquet the chaos no surgeon could face.*
*My scars bloom like roses where the chisel’s been laid,*
*You write "Beloved" in blood where the serpents once played.*
*I fought the restraints, but the knife’s edge is true—*
*You didn’t come to heal me… You came to make me new.*

**Outro**
*Now my chest’s a cathedral, the old heart’s debris,*
*Your commandments scream louder than the devil in me.*
*I’m a mosaic of mercy, a reformed silhouette—*
*The stone’s in the grave…*
*…and the flesh won’t forget.*
