“Undo” – Rush of Fools

So, this song was released back in 2007 I think.. and I remember hearing it here and there, it’s on one of my playlists somewhere.  And this past weekend, this song was played at Gracepoint Live!  It was integrated into one of the skits, my favorite one of the night, the junior skit.  About this overachieving, hardworking guy who has always been told to make the most of his life who is now visiting his shrink and recounting his life…mainly the regrets of his past.  Realizing he can’t undo his life, realizing he lived a life that touched no one else except for himself he sees the kind of person that he is. It’s sad because the beginning of the skit opens with him saying he’s about to send his son off to college and has a letter for him.  After his appointment is over, he reads the letter..and you’d think after all that you saw of his past, that he would tell his son to live differently.  The sad thing is, he doesn’t…

So after he sends his son off… he sits and the curtains on stage open and the band is there and they play this song.

Undo 
I’ve been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying You’ll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I’ve been known to be 

[Chorus]
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I’ve become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can’t do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I’ve become

I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I’ve been known to be

[Chorus]

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You 

Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I’ve become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can’t do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I’ve become
