Please lay down your arrows ‘cause they’re sure to pierce the skin
And water from a broken well will make you thirst again
When all things you’ve acquired
Are tested by the flame
And you can see them melting
Then will you call his name

It’s worth it brothers
And it’s worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved?

To the slaughter you are being led
Being told that it’s a party,
That this God is in your head
And every single lie
Sounds just like the greatest truth
But the one truth you’re not hearing
Is that He died for you

Behind the Song:
"This is the first Christian song I wrote. It is an open invitation to be free from the burden of sin and find rest at the feet of Jesus Christ.”- Jimmy Needham
