Braden McDonald - House Cleaning (Frat the House Mix) Lyrics

Sitting on the mantel
I put it there
Just a simple picture
Why must I stare?
Well, I had my idea set
Before we even met
Still you filled all my dreams
So I wonder why it fell
And I ended up in hell
Somebody's trying to talk to me
I shut out those voices
I've shut out that Voice for so long

Turned you into something
I turned you into someone you couldn't be
That's why I had to keep you
Beg and plead you, you could not leave
So when you went ahead and left
I stood up on the cliff
And thought about the rocks below
Where my idol lay
In pieces and I prayed
"I've got to hear that Voice again"

I raise up my voice
I raise up my voice to God above
He reached out to me
He taught me a brand new way to love

Oh, what a feeling!
I'm never gonna treat someone that way again
Oh, inner healing!
I found His truth and love and now it lives within

"Altars are never a place of bargaining
They're a place of sacrifice
And when God can find an altar and a sacrifice on the altar
The fire will fall"

Sitting on the mantel
I put it there
Just a simple picture
Can't help but stare
'Cause I threw that idol down
Don't ever wanna see it 'round
I found something to take its place
Well, it's called the truth
And now all my ways are new
Now I'm living for the One who lives in me
I'm never going back
No, I'm never going back again

Oh, what a feeling!
I'm never gonna treat myself that way again
Oh, inner healing!
I found His freedom and I saw my life begin

Oh, what a feeling!
I'm never gonna treat someone that way again
Oh, inner healing!
I found His truth and love and now it lives within
