Josh Garrels, 'The Arrow' (Official Audio)

"The Arrow" by Josh Garrels from the album - HOME (April 7th, 2015)

Lyrics:
An arrow is stuck between my ribs
And I pray to God, Don’t let it end like this
I fought like a man with will to live
But I was betrayed by the man within

How on earth did it all go down like this?
I’ve got no words to make sense of it
My shield, my fight for righteousness
Could not protect me from myself

I’m looking for the higher power
To be my mighty tower
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
But I’m-a fall seven more times
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
There’s only one way out

Please, Lord, forgive me
I’m down on my bended knees
And I need your love
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend

How long did I fool myself
Believing I, I didn’t need nobody’s help
A fool trusts in his power and his wealth
Until he’s brought down low
Unto a shadow of himself

The arrow was sent to intervene
It pierced my bones and shook me from my dream
Lord You know exactly what I need
Wounds from a friend, severe mercy

I’m looking for the higher power
To be my mighty tower
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
But I’m-a fall seven more times
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
There’s only one way out

Please, Lord, forgive me
I’m down on my bended knees
And I need your love
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend

Lord, i am a broken man held together only by your Grace. i have peace knowing i can never fail on earth because i chose you.
I have always known God but i had to give up myself to find Him.

[BlurpAnimations]

maybe my favorite christan artist now?

[raquelvazquez]

Every time I hear another song of yours, I just keep on thinking/feeling “WOW.”

[itsonlyme]

only Josh can pull this song as though this song was meant only for him. Just awesome

[Asterngeisha]

This song, a 1960's Pontiac GTO, lost somewhere on any desert highway... doesn't matter where. Heaven.

[georgehugo]

The vocals in the chorus is like an electric guitar. Such great tone and drive!

[normaland]

This is SO amazing! Where have you been all my life!,

[ShaunStruwig]

GNARLY!!! that falsetto had me pulling the stank face man. wowzers, what a voice!!

[spunkycat]

Is anyone else here from the film Tulsa (first song)? I was like WHAT'S THIS SONG and I have been there before in that scene...

[dbrown]

Heard this song playing on "Tulsa"..love it❤❤

[calebmorales]

Oh those trumpets at 3:21... they give me the feel goods.

[johnwitherschristian]

This song has so much power especially when you stumble and fall head long and come crawling back to the Lord feeling shame. Unfortunately I fell several times. I would play this song over and over as I grew closer to the Lord by Him changing me a little more each time I'd screw up and see the error of my ways, repent and grow in my personal relationship with Christ Jesus, my Lord and Saviour. Josh Garrels was very blessed with his many abilities and thank God he uses them for the Lord.

[futurekillerful]

Not even my genre of Christian music generally speaking but man oh man did I love this artist in this movie

[barbaraf]

I stumbled upon Josh Garrels through Bruce Cockburn, Iron & Wine, etc on Pandora. You know, you just get introduced to new artists that you never heard of. That's why I love Pandora. Anyway, I love his raspy voice. It adds a level of distinction to typical vocals. I'll recognize it anytime. Love his lyrics too.

[TheWarriorLV]

that is super dope that the bar is only on the photo of the album cover

[curtissclark]

August 27th 2020! Still sounds as good as the first time I heard it!!

[maryblythehowland]

I love Josh Garrels music. He is truly a prophetic artist for this time.

[maranatha]

A Truly Unique Musician and Singer. HOLY GHOST POWER 💥 🕊

[erikaweiss]

Concert last night @ Chicago House of Blues was great!

Here are the lyrics....tight, and right:
An arrow is stuck between my ribs
And I pray to God, Don’t let it end like this
I fought like a man with will to live
But I was betrayed by the man within

How on earth did it all go down like this?
I’ve got no words to make sense of it
My shield, my fight for righteousness
Could not protect me from myself

I’m looking for the higher power
To be my mighty tower
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
But I’m-a fall seven more times
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
There’s only one way out

Please, Lord, forgive me
I’m down on my bended knees
And I need your love
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend

How long did I fool myself
Believing I, I didn’t need nobody’s help
A fool trusts in his power and his wealth
Until he’s brought down low
Unto a shadow of himself

The arrow was sent to intervene
It pierced my bones and shook me from my dream
Lord You know exactly what I need
Wounds from a friend, severe mercy
