Jason Upton – A Better Way lyrics

You came... To lead us to our father
You came... To show us a better way
Ohh Jesus,
Help us not to forget why you came
You came, in the midst of the world ambitions
You came, in the midst of religious ambitions
You came, in the opposite spirit of man lord
You came and you showed us a holy way
Ohh, you showed us a better way
Showed us the better way
Showed us a better way
Ohh, you showed us a better way
You said, " i wanna show you a better way "
And you took upon yourself oh god all our rejection
And you took upon yourself oh god all of our ambition
And you held upon yourself all of our anger
And you took upon yourself the anger of our tradition
Ohh god
But you came and you showed us a better way
Ohh god
You came, you showed us a better way
How many times oh Jesus could you have turned to us
And rejected with our rejection
How many times did, you could of turned to us
And beat us with our beating
How many times ohh Jesus did you turn the other cheek
Look at us oh god with your eyes of love
I wanna show you a better way
Ohh Jesus

Groaning right now in the spirit
Sounds like a voice quacking,
Groaning in the spirit right now
Him calling out " trust in me "
And him saying " show us the better way "
I can hear him singing
It's like crying out from the rocks
Crying out from the broken places
Crying out from amsterdam
Crying out, he's crying
Show us, show us, show us, show us, show us, show us
We're crying out, show us the better way
We're crying out, we're crying out
We wanna go the better way, we wanna go the better way
Crying, crying, crying, crying,
Crying out, please, show us the better way
Show us the better way, show us the better way
The better way, the better way
There's gotta be a better way
Break the chains, break the chain
Break, break, break, break, break, break
Break the chains, break the chains,
Break, break, break, break, break, break,

Ohh yeah, Jesus
Show us a better way
There is a way that leads to life but few will follow
There is a way that leads to life but few will go
There is a way that leads to life but few will follow
Ohh Jesus, show us, show us
Walking with you father god
Ohh, I'm walking with you father god
To the heart of the broken now
Walking with you father god
Heah, heah walking with you father god
