(Musical swell with rhythmic percussion)
Can you feel the change?
Can you see the light?
Oh, hear the call today
Is it time to turn your heart, is it time to wash away?
I ask the question now to all who walk this path today
You wonder how you'll make it through, you wonder how you'll stand
When the darkness gathers round and shadows fill the land
But look at those outside the fold, they seem to show more grace
While some who claim the holy name have anger in their face
It’s a heavy burden, brother, when the love has slipped away
And we hide behind the titles while our spirits go astray
Oh, Bushe, turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
For if you keep your heart like this, there is nowhere left to hide
Turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
Yeah, turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
I see the people whispering, they look at us and sigh
They ask why the believers have a coldness in their eye
They say the ones who seek the truth have lost the inner flame
And wonder why the kindness is not written in our name
It is a shame to see the light go dim within the soul
When we were meant to be the ones who help the broken whole
So let us shed the pride we hold, let us shed the weight of sin
And let the fire of the truth begin to burn again within
Oh, Bushe, turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
For if you keep your heart like this, there is nowhere left to hide
Turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
Yeah, turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
It’s not about the words we speak, it’s not about the stage
It’s about the transformation written on a turning page
Break the stone, make it flesh, let the mercy overflow
This is the only way for us to let the spirit grow
So search your conscience deeply now, beneath the surface deep
Are you feeding all the hungry souls or are you fast asleep?
The time is short, the road is long, the choice is yours to make
To give your life to better things for everybody's sake
Let’s be the beacon in the dark, let’s be the open door
Let’s walk the walk of love today and reach for something more
Oh, Bushe, turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
For if you keep your heart like this, there is nowhere left to hide
Turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
Yeah, turn your heart, wash the bitterness inside
Turn your heart, wash it clean
Let the love be clearly seen
Bushe, turn your heart today
(Fade out with uplifting percussion and soaring strings)
