Verse 1 (dark, grinding — Voice 1 lead)

Not a word they speak is true
Every line is bent and torn
Hearts that hunger after ruin
Souls that thrive on what is worn
Like a grave that’s open wide
Breathing death in every phrase
Sweet deception on their tongues
Pulling hearts to broken ways

Verse 2 (duet enters — warning + resistance)

(Voice 2)
Every whisper sounds so right
Every lie is dressed in light
(Voice 1)
But beneath it, shadows move
Drawing us away from truth

(Together)
We will not be led astray
We will not be pulled away
From the life You set before us
From the truth that makes us stay

Chorus (big, anthemic — both voices full)

Let all who run to You rejoice
Let every heart now lift its voice
You are our refuge, strong and sure
In You, O Lord, we stand secure

Surround us with Your favor now
A shield no enemy breaks through
If You are for us, who can stand?
Our hope, our life is found in You

Verse 3 (personal turn — grace realization)

(Voice 1 softer → builds)
We were once among the lost
Walking paths that led to death
(Voice 2)
Guilty hearts and blinded eyes
Running from Your every breath

(Together)
But Your mercy called us home
Through the grace we don’t deserve
Now we stand in righteousness
Not by us—but by Your Word

Verse 4 (judgment + urgency — aggressive tone)

Let their lies undo themselves
Let their schemes fall to the ground
Every path that leads from You
Will be lost and not be found
There is still a call to turn
Still a chance to see the light
We will speak while there is time
Calling souls from death to life

Bridge (breakdown → rise — call + response duet)

(Voice 1 — low, intense)
You are our Protector

(Voice 2 — answering)
You are standing over us

(Together — build)
No one stands against us
When Your hand is covering us

(Full lift)
Draw us near, we will come
Underneath Your wings we run
Let our hearts now overcome
By the power of Your love

Be a blessing, be a blessing
To our God who shelters us
Be a blessing, be a blessing
In the life You’ve given us
