Sanctify

(Verse 1 – spoken-sung, urgent, mid-tempo drive) I see the fire in the city lights, the hunger in the street Bodies moving in desperation , chasing what they cannot keep You called us out of the passion, out of the night so wild Now teach us how to hold this vessel, like a holy child (Pre-Chorus – rising tension, bass rumbling) Not in lust, not in shame, not like the world that pulls us down But in honor, in Your name, turn this clay around (Chorus – big, anthemic lift, Edge-style guitar swell, voices layered with echoes) More and more! This is the will of God, sanctification Abstain from the fire that burns the nation Possess your own in honor, in sanctification More and more… more and more… We walk this road, we walk this road (Verse 2 – driving rhythm, raw edge) Pleasing You in every step, in the quiet of our days Brother love like a river rising, washing the old ways Work with these hands, honest and true, let the outsiders see That something different is moving in me, setting the captive free (Pre-Chorus – building intensity) We don’t fight this alone, no, the Spirit moves inside The same God who calls us holy is the One who provides (Chorus – louder, full band, Bono-like soaring vocals with “oh-oh-oh” ad-libs) More and more! This is the will of God, sanctification Abstain from the fire that burns the nation Possess your own in honor, in sanctification More and more… more and more… We walk this road, higher and higher (Bridge – slower, atmospheric, then explosive build like U2’s “Bad” or The Alarm’s rallying cries) It’s counter-cultural, it cuts against the grain In a world drowning in images, we stand against the rain We have not arrived, no, we’re running through the flame But Your mercy pulls us forward… calls us by name (Guitar solo – ringing, sustained notes with heavy delay, building tension) (Final Chorus – massive, crowd-shout ready, repeated and layered) More and more! (more and more!) Sanctify us, make us pure In thought, in desire, in everything we do By the power of the Spirit, we’re running to You More and more! This is the will… Your will… More and more… more and more… (Sanctification… honor… more and more…) [Outro – fading echoes, repeating “more and more” over sustained guitar and pulsing drums, ending on a ringing unresolved chord]
