Biography:
Haste the Day was a christian metalcore band which formed in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States in 2001. They were signed to Solid State Records. Their band is named after a lyric in the hymn “It Is Well with My Soul”. Even though the band’s style is generally considered metalcore, the band describes their music as “rock and roll with breakdowns”.
Vocalist Jimmy Ryan announced his departure from the band in late November of 2005 after accepting a job with their record label, Tooth & Nail Records.

I am spent and with death you paid my ransom

As I am met with travesty

Gm Dm C A#
I see the hand, the hand that writes it all
Dm C A#
You've called the wind to show its worth
Dm C A#
You've called the sun to brag about its warmth
Dm C A#
Because You are the writer
Dm C A#
Because You are the soul of the world
Chorus:
A# Dm C
You cover the darkest part of me
A# Dm C
With a look that's sure to set the captives free
A# Dm C
With love that the blindest eyes will see

You cover the darkest part of me
A# Dm C
Because You are the writer
A# Dm C
Because You are the writer
