about

"Drastic Measures" came out of the desperation I think we all feel when trying to conquer sins that have deep roots in our lives. Jesus said, "If your hand offends you, cut it off and throw it away because it's better to enter Heaven missing a hand than to go whole into Hell." (paraphrased). That call to drastic measures is what birthed the song. I do not think Jesus wants us to literally cut off our limbs or pluck out our eyes, but to be drastic with sin in our lives because the alternative is just as drastic.

lyrics

oh, God, cut out my eyes when what I see prompts false desire
I'd rather live life blind than fall into the fire
oh, God, remove my hands when they reach for things I should not crave
take drastic measures, God, if that is how I can be saved

my lusts have led me foul and into where I should not be
the things I most desired would spell the end of me
I've bowed to pleasures fair of form and face and so deceptive
they only brought me death, but it is Christ Who makes me live

so here again You find me, kneeling at Your feet, my God
with only failed attempts and motives - oh, so flawed
but You can save me, You can make me perfect in Your sight
please cut and burn away what in me is not right

please make Yourself the great desire of my heart
rekindle all the passion present at the start
zealous for Your touch and jealous of my soul
Consuming Fire come take this offering whole
