Tenth Avenue North, “Losing”
Contemporary Christian pop-rock band Tenth Avenue North is following up its #1 hit, You Are MOre, with Losing, the carrier single of The Struggle, the band’s new album, dropping in August 2012 across the United States. According to online sources, the band asked for story submissions, and wrote a song of one of the stories; Tenth Avenue North’s Losing tells the story of how a lady named Denise survived a violent attack. I am loving the gospel choir in the end, and this video – not official – is so creative. Definitely worth looking forward to.
LOSING Lyrics
Tenth Avenue North
I can’t believe what she said
I can’t believe what he did
Oh, don’t they know it’s wrong
Don’t they know it’s wrong, yeah
Maybe there’s something I missed
But how could they treat me like this
It’s wearing out my heart
The way they disregard
This is love, this is hate
We all have a choice to make
Oh, Father won’t You forgive them
They don’t know what they’ve been doing
Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them
Cause I feel like the one losing
It’s only the dead that can live
But still I wrestle with this
To lose the pain that’s mine
Seventy times seven times, yeah
Lord it doesn’t feel right
For me to turn a blind eye
Though I guess it’s not that much
When I think of what You’ve done
This is love, this is hate
We gotta a choice to make
Oh Father won’t You forgive them
They don’t know what they’ve been doing
Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them
Cause I feel like the one losing, oh no
Why do we think that hate’s gonna change the heart
We’re up in arms over wars that don’t need to be fought
Pride won’t let us lay weapons on the ground
We build our bridges up but just to burn them down
We think pain is owed an apology and then it’ll stop
Truth be told it doesn’t matter if we’re sorry or not
Freedom comes when we surrender to the sound
Of Your mercy and Your grace, Father, send Your angels down
Oh Father wont You forgive them
They don’t know what they’ve been doing, oh no
Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them
Cause I feel like the one losing
Yeah, I feel like I’ve been losing
Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them
Cause I feel like the one losing
I feel like I’ve been losing
Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them
Cause I feel like the one losing
