Sidewalk Prophets - Wrecking Ball Lyrics






Father, Father
I need to rip out this old tree
Father, Father
The roots of lust and greed
Have grown so deep into this ground
I’ve tried so hard to pull them out
On my own, they take the best of me

[Chorus:]
I need a wrecking ball
Slamming inside my heart
Breaking me all apart
Tearing the old away
Killing the fear in me
Until I can finally breathe
Even if it hurts so bad that I can’t even stand
Take it all, let me fall into Your hands

Father, Father
You have brought me to my knees
Father, Father
You long for me to see
When I get lost along the path
You will fight to bring me back
Only You, can make the best of me

[Chorus]

Hands where mercy lives where grace begins
With Your hands knock down all these walls I’m praying

I need a wrecking ball
Slamming inside my heart
Breaking me all apart
Tearing the old away
Killing the fear in me
Until I can finally breathe
Even if it hurts so bad that I can’t even stand
Take it all, break it all, Take my all
Let me fall into Your hands

Father, Father
I need to rip out this old tree

  1. J.... L....

    I'm a new fan, listening to this for the first time. I'm in love with the music by Sidewalk Prophets!!

  2. K.... B....

    I love this song

  3. S.... ....

    I've been writing poetry and songs for 6 years. So I actually tried to write a Christian parody of the song Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus. But this is pretty amazing. It's actually a pretty similar meaning to the one I wrote years ago.

  12. K.... M....

    My God, burn with a refining fire. Let all dross be burned away till my heart is left as pure silver. Lord, do not hesitate to bring me to my knees before you. Humble me before Your holy face that I might know how to love out the greatness of Your kingdom. Empty me of myself, and break down my walls of insincerity and sin. May I be filled only with Your holy Spirit

  13. P.... V....

  25. K.... M....

    Good song.  I feel like I had a wrecking ball hit me a few years ago and I am still working to get it back together.  I think that is why your songs Save My Life, Keep Making me and Help me Find It speak to me so clearly.

    Miley Cyrus & Sidewalk Prophets are two completely two different songs & meaning! Just because they have the same, does not mean the same thing! Prophets is more meaningful & powerful!

  34. P.... P....

    Oh that my Lord would take away the old self and create the new self within me. I am in desperate need of my Savior every day!

  35. c.... p....

    The real wrecking ball, I need a wrecking ball each day, Lord I need a wrecking ball killing the fear in me, take it all, let me fall into your hands

  36. R.... ....

    "I came in like a wrecking ball" JK lol only kidding!

    R.... ....

    R.x0 haha I was expecting to hear that in the song... Oh my. 😂😂

  37. D.... M....
