Lyrics

Whatcha gonna do?
Are you gonna remove the bandage?
Are you gonna stay in bondage?
Are you gonna remove the bandage?

Whatcha gonna do?
Are you gonna remove the bandage?
Are you gonna stay in bondage?
Are you gonna remove the bandage?

Are you tired of living your life this way?
Are you tired of trying to make it through the day, without Christ in your life?
You gotta be tired of all of this strife
You see He can help you get through the pain (help you get through the pain)
All of the guilt you feel and the shame
You ask me how I know? Well, God did it for me
No more thoughts of suicide the depressed me has died
God repaired my heart and made me new (God has made me new)
I know He'll do the same thing for you. So…

Whatcha gonna do?
(Are you gonna remove the bandage?) Whatcha gonna do
Are you gonna stay in bondage?
Are you gonna remove the bandage?) Don’t you wanna be free today?

Whatcha gonna do?
(Are you gonna remove the bandage?) Whatcha gonna do
Are you gonna stay in bondage?
(Are you gonna remove the bandage?) It’s all up to you

In the Bible seven people committed suicide
Motives include rejection, depression, and pride
Poor self-image, guilt and greed
Death and destruction is where sin always leads
Most people kill themselves out of impulse (I got to)
But if they waited today, they would’ve decided not to
‘Cause feelings are fickle, emotions change
But when you die that stays the same please refrain

So stop trying to cover up the mistakes of your past
Confess you sins to Jesus so the healing will last
He will heal your body, mind, and soul and then He’ll make you whole
So lay aside ever weight let God take control

No more thoughts of suicide
Remove the bandage, don't stay in bondage

No more thoughts of suicide
Remove the bandage, don't stay in bondage
Come on sing with me

(No more thoughts of suicide) No more thoughts of suicide
(Remove the bandage, don't stay in bondage) Remove the bandage, don't stay in bondage, no

No more thoughts of suicide
(Remove the bandage, don't stay in bondage) no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Don’t you know

God knew you before he formed you (yeah, yeah)
Don’t take your life we’re here to warn you (ooooo)
God has a wonderful plan for your life (Jesus Loves you so)
Put down the gun, the pills, the knife

God knew you before he formed you (Yes He did)
Don’t take your life we’re here to warn you
God has a wonderful plan for your life
Put down the gun, the pills, the knife

No more thoughts of suicide
Remove the bandage, don’t stay in bondage

No more thoughts of suicide
Remove the bandage, don’t stay in bondage
