Ace of Hearts

Verse  1

I put my hope in a name and a promise

Said this land would come first if we just went on

I watched the noise and the blame and the headlines

I let my heart get hard along the way

Innocent lives paid the price

Hope of America first held through the night

We put our hope in a man to save this land

Till the Lord Said, “ Son, that aint’t the fight”

 

 Chorus 1

We all Get lost

When we make a man our first

We were made to seek the kingdom

Not to crown another name

Not to ride the latest storm

Lord, You had me all along

Be the Ace Of Hearts

And lead us home

 

Verse 2

There were days of fear and shouting

Fight, fight , fight he cried out loud

People suffered, prayed and stumbled

Tried to stand up proud

I rallied to the side like it was the answer

Thought the answer wore a face

But that’s not where my soul belongs

Only Mercy holds that place

 

Chorus 2

 

We all Get lost

When we make a man our first

We were made to walk in the light

Not to live on false hope and promises

Not to play another part

Lord, you had me all along

Be the Ace of Hearts

And change this heart

 

Verse 3

It started out like there was hope

Then the talking turned to war

Lord, forgive my sharp tongue

But I know what this tongue is for

Not to curse the one that differ

Not to tear this country down

You said bless and do not curse

Put the mighty on their knees 

 

Chorus 3

We all Get lost

When we make a man our first

We were told to love our neighbor

Even when it hurts the worst

Lord, Forgive this sharpened tongue

Lord, You had me all along

Be the Ace Of Hearts

And Make Us One

 

Verse 4

Nations rage and prices climb

The poor still carry what the proud ignore

They take their victory laps on broken ground

And on the lives of innocent women and child

We don’t need an earthly king

Just our savior who leads the way

And set us free from the devil’s ways

Teach this country how to pray

 

Chorus 4

We all Get lost

When we make a man our first

We were called to help each other

Not to cheer while other hurt

Not to win and bear the cost

Lord, you had me all along

Be the Ace of Hearts

Whatever come

 

Verse 5

I wrote my anger down like gospel

Every line like sharpened stone

Then the holy spirit showed me the way

And I could not leave the song alone

I tore those pages, cried like rain

At the beauty of you love

What I thought was righteous fire

Was just vengeance that needed to be gone

 

Chorus 5

We all Get lost

When we make a man our first

Then you visit in the quiet

And you break the hardened heart

I tore that ole song up today

Lord, you had me all along

Be the Ace of Hearts

And write what’s true

 

Outro/Final Chorus

We all Get lost

When we make a man our first

But we are not the ones who quit

We are the one who fight for light

Lord, help this country and its people

Keep us humble keep us right

Tears fell like rain from your glorious light

I tore the war I tried to write

Heaven of Hearts, come lead us home

Fight the good fight

Fight what’s right
