[Verse 1] [F] We came with empty hands But full of our own names [M] Crowned in little kingdoms Ashes on our flames [F] Teach us how to lay it down At the altar floor [M] Teach us how to want Your face More than what we know [Pre-Chorus] [F] Are we ready? [M] Are we ready? [F] To leave ourselves behind [M] And step into the fire [Chorus] [F] Launch us out (Make us holy) [M] Launch us out (Make us bold) [F] Pray us through (Make us faithful) [M] Pray us through (Take control) [BOTH] We lay us down To lift them up We lay us down To the priestly work of prayer [Verse 2] [M] Not with polished words Not with borrowed light [F] Just a trembling mouth And a face set right [M] For the widow in the dark For the child alone [F] For the house that’s gone cold For the ones we’ve known [Pre-Chorus] [M] Are we ready? [F] Are we ready? [M] To lose the lesser thing [F] And carry heaven in? [Chorus] [F] Launch us out (Make us holy) [M] Launch us out (Make us bold) [F] Pray us through (Make us faithful) [M] Pray us through (Take control) [BOTH] We lay us down To lift them up We lay us down To the priestly work of prayer [Bridge] [F] Burn the selfish throne [M] Break the guarded bone [F] Make our knees a door [M] Make our house a home [BOTH] Send us where the weeping is Where hope is thin Send us where the hurting live And start us in [Final Chorus] [F] Launch us out (Make us holy) [M] Launch us out (Make us bold) [F] Pray us through (Make us faithful) [M] Pray us through (Take control) [BOTH] We lay us down To lift them up We lay us down To the priestly work of prayer We lay us down To lift them up We lay us down And launch us out in prayer
