To help those in Texas affected by Hurricane Harvey, Sanctus Real is wanting to do their part to help, and they are asking for your help too. Today the band announced they are offering their upcoming single, “Changed,” two weeks early to their fans in hopes to raise money to directly help the families and community of Rockport, Texas. The band was originally scheduled to perform in Rockport at Seafair on October 15.
“Watching a town we are scheduled to perform in later this Fall get hit by Hurricane Harvey caused us to want to find a way to help immediately,” Sanctus Real’s Chris Rohman shares. “In the midst of such tragedy we thought that offering our song ‘Changed’ would be a great way to encourage others that any amount, no matter how big or small, can make an impact for a town like Rockport, Texas. We hope that by giving away a not-yet-released song can help encourage our audience to give to such a needed cause.” “Changed” is officially scheduled to release on Sept. 12.
To receive “Changed” as well as their current single “Safe In My Father’s Arms,” please visit SanctusReal.com. Every amount donated, whether big or small, will go straight to the people of Rockport, TX.
Find out more by visiting the town’s website, which features all of the latest information about their relief efforts, a Go Fund Me page as well as letters from the city’s mayor.
“CHANGED”
lyrics by Chris Rohman, Dustin Lolli, Benji Cowart and Josh Bronleewe
I thought it’d be different
Was hoping by now
I would be closer
Have it all figured out
Been counting the reasons
Been feeling the weight
Of all of my failures
And every mistake
And though I cannot see
I know you promised me
You’re making a new heart
where the old one used to be
I’m gonna be changed
A little each day
Even when I fall I’ll trust you when you say
I’m gonna be changed
By Your Grace
You won’t let me stay the same as yesterday
I’m gonna be Changed
I look in the mirror
I see in my face
the pain that I’ve carried
Is being replaced
There’s a brighter future
I see it in my eyes
There used to be darkness
but now there’s a fire
And now that I can see
Everything You promised me
You’re making a new heart
I’m not who I used to be
Cause the One who began a good work in me
Is faithful to make me complete
You’re the Author, Perfector, my Hope and my Healer
The reason that I believe
I can change, Oh I can change
