Mark 2:14 (New International Version) 
As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him. 






Steal it, take it, know my name in loving memory 
Sand it, brand it, in your brain,a forthright eulogy 
I am but a sinner here, my faults are underlined 
I have but to hold you near to cleanse the sins of time 


I have known you, all too well 
I have shown you, all too well 
I have thrilled you, all too well 
I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to 


Speak up, calling my name out 
Speak up, the shattering of doubt 
This is where you start 
With nails run through your heart 
Leave the name, burned in the brain 
Leave your mark 


Find it, blind it with your light or curse to be alive 
Will it, kill it in your night, commit yourself to thrive 
You are but a sinner hear, each breath is now your crime 
You have but to shed a tear, to wash away the time 


I have known you, all too well 
I have shown you, all too well 
I have thrilled you, all too well 
I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to 


Speak up, calling my name out 
Speak up, the shattering of doubt 
This is where you start 
With nails run through your heart 
Leave the name, burned in the brain 
Leave your mark 


Give me your principles, values and hope 
Or I’ll take them away 
Not so convincible if you can’t cope 
Or rise to the day 
Worn out the morals that lit up the path 
Now gone to the dark 
Frayed are the laurels, igniting the wrath 
They left in the mark 
Wrap me in darkness, wrap me in light 
Wrap me in indestructible light 


Way down the road it’s better, believe me 
Way down the road it’s gone (god) 
Carry the load, it’s harder, believe me 
Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod) 
Way down the road it’s better, believe me 
Way down the road it’s gone (god) 
Carry the load, it’s harder, believe me 
Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod)
