lyrics

tormented by the wicked lies we have believed
allowing words from sinful man to plant destructive seeds
fragile hearts choked out by thistled weeds
consuming thoughts intent on incapacitating

perish the thought
perish the thought

sometimes it feels that our demise is the surest bet
in restless nights we find our courage fleeing from the war at hand
all fears and thoughts hid by protective smiles and words
if only we could on our own draw forth the sword and

perish the thought that seeks to empty us of all hope
perish the thought that drives us from the truths well known

for we are beautiful and lovely and are created for Your glory
You gave all You had to know us yet we cower in dark corners
please take captive all the notions that seek to keep us ever-frozen
release our mind from these commotions
distracting us from love's devotion
and put to death all earthly sorrow
oh how we yearn for our tomorrow
release us from the war's we've fought
against all perishable thoughts
perish the thought
