I Swear to God
Searching for Redemption: A Plea to a Silent Savior in 'I Swear to God'
Lyrics
Please do not destroy us
Expressing a plea or request not to bring harm or ruin to "us."
I believe in You I swear to God
Affirming belief in God and making a solemn oath or promise.
Please do not destroy us
Reiterating the plea or request not to cause harm or destruction.
Your the only one that could have saved him
Referring to someone (possibly the father) as the only one who could have been saved by a higher power.
Well You could've but You let him go
Expressing a belief that God had the ability to save but chose not to.
Now my father's dead and still You haven't shown

Where are You, Jesus?
Pleading with Jesus and questioning His whereabouts in a time of need.
Where are You, Jesus?

Where are You?

Did You let him on every secret
Asking if God revealed every secret, possibly referring to the mysteries of life.
Every one that we will never know
Acknowledging the existence of undisclosed secrets that may never be known.
Until we're walking on Your streets of gold
Envisioning a future where understanding comes when walking on divine streets of gold (a metaphor for heaven).
cnd are You standing there right beside him
Wondering if Jesus is present beside the departed, providing reassurance.
Reassuring him I'll be just fine
Desiring Jesus to comfort the departed and assure them of well-being.
Well if You are then tell him You're not right
If Jesus is present, asking Him to convey that things are not right.
Where are You, Jesus?
Repeating the question about the whereabouts or presence of Jesus.
Where are You, Jesus?

Where are You, Jesus?

Please do not destroy us
