1. Move Play
Move
there is peace and there is pain, every heart in a different place
may I open up my eyes and have an ear to listen

may I love, may I serve
so move

there is dark and there is light, in the eye you can see the fight
amazed that you’d let me take part in sharing others your kingdom
Lyrics
2. Silent Play
Silent
I hate the distance in the air why do I feel so alone?
I don’t know, I don’t know
too much noise I can barely hear, maybe if I slowed down
I don’t know, I don’t know

does everyone see You, see You but me?
don’t hide Your face, Your face from me

don’t be silent

You’ve given vision but I feel defeat
where are You leading me?
I don’t know, I don’t know
I know you’re out there, so where are You?
defend the honor of Your name
cause I know, one thing I know

You are life, life is You--don’t be far
Lyrics
3. Intercession Play
Intercession
you run away from your world to find another
you’ve thrown away your God, you think there’s something better
no point in arguing, it’s a witness stand
it just puts one on defense
cause you know the answers to all your questions
only He can move you

so c’mon, c’mon just let go
c’mon, c’mon just let it go
Intercession fights for you

you know the miracles of a King who gave up everything
still you cry myth, fairy tale, but you keep on reading
spent years’ chasing the mind was it worth the time if you never got grace?
He is calling, do you hear Him calling?

pour out, pour out your comfort Lord
He is calling, do you hear him calling?

c’mon, c’mon just let go can you hear the fight for you?

Lyrics
4. Barrier Play
Barrier
do we really believe in power that raised the dead?
and with this bring relief to the defeated man

He destroyed the barrier between God and man
He destroyed the barrier between us and them

dead and lost are they now, following the prince of the air
we live to explain depth, the mystery of adoption revealed

the power at work in me was the one that changed everything in time--
for all time
You use the first elect to give the world perspective of grace
Lyrics
5. Souls Play
Souls
life is ticking by, it doesn’t go slow
it’s like melting ice, soon it will be gone
how will you invest what’s left?
how will you breathe it all in?

give me the souls that I love, may they be the main attraction
give me the strength that I need, to show the world of your affection

what will be left of your name?
what kind of colors will stamp your mark?
will you be a fragrance with no scent, or a soldier with no grave?
what will you live this life for, who do you live this life for?

I can lay down, lay me down--for another soul
cause you layed it all for me
Lyrics
6. Fear Play
Fear
to gain the title of a failure, let evil take my voice
to be a pen that doesn’t have ink, no script--unusable

fear

in the mind the memory stays, a hospital bed where your father lays
his years of love almost his life, while sons of Judas set their price

where there’s fear, I find you
in control, in control
so when I fear, I find you
take control, take control

could I be wrong? would He forgive me for what I’ve done?
to have life, but not my own
to give it up but then to lose it all

deepen my fear for You so that hope in mercy will arise
Lyrics
7. Miracle Play
Miracle
did you feel any pain inside?
You didn’t get to see earthly light, but heavenly will do
I hope you know there were two hearts that would have beat for you

you are a miracle, you are a miracle
I know you’ll find, you’ll find your way to God

did you begin to dream of what you would be in life?
did you feel the tears we cried for you?

oh I wanted to hold you
I wanted to protect you
I wanted to show you off to the world

Lyrics
8. First Love Play Tablature
First Love
redemption came, erased my shame, and You became my first love
forgive me when I let the world invade--You are my first love

You’re my first love, You’re my first love

repentance spoken, grace has chosen me--drawn from my first love
You justified, now sanctify me by truth in You--my first love

grace, grace--You’re the embodiment of grace
grace, grace--the security in grace
Lyrics
9. Go Forth Play
Go Forth
a man walks alone down a barren road having lost his rights
he lost them to the courts, driving drunk he swerved and took a mother’s life
now he leaves a cell to face his chosen hell of being left alone
but freedom lies ahead, I’m a changed man he says, my sons will see a change

go forth, show yourself

a woman dies inside trampled by his pride--darkness settles in
a wedding filled with class was just an hourglass to the tragic end
she closes her eyes and alone in her cries, she slowly falls asleep
but morning lies ahead as she wakes from her bed and forgives him for her pain

we are all orphans from the beginning
living in desolate land--no heritage to claim
and yet we rise from our sinning
to bless those that curse our name
Lyrics
10. Forgets World Play
Forgets World
did we think it would be easy to live this life?
when all our cares are wrapped up in what we seem to own
it takes more to break free from the standard
it takes more to live in a world and not conform

when there’s faith, faith, faith
forgets world, forgets pain, forgets everything in the way

do you think we could be seen as being wise?
when all our cares are focused on our security
it takes more to break free from the standard
it takes more to live in a world and not conform

desperate screams to hear from you
but silence focused beautiful truths
and faith now is alive
Lyrics
11. Sound Play
Sound
if you’ve ever tasted space, atmosphere, stratosphere
something bigger--purest grace, forever’s here, death’s no fear
if one just one would find their place
bold we come to liberate lost ones

sound, it’s in the sound, affects of a sound

to lay ones life down for a cause, and see beyond--seek justice gone
effects like screaming in a canyon, or singing in reverberating halls

in His death we find victory, and songs ring out from those the Son redeemed
Lyrics
12. Impressions of Beauty Play
Impressions of Beauty
by living there’s a hunger, and tasting I get sicker
the human body enslaves me when I want to be free

give us hearts that turn in sorrow, not eyes that burn in passion

don’t forget they are daughters created by their Father
hidden in them beauty--scarred by our apathy

it takes away my fire, leaving a charred impression of beauty
it takes away my virtue, and leaves me in a haze of failure
don’t forget that they are daughters, created by the holy Father
Lyrics
13. Battle Cry Play Tablature
Battle Cry
more
take my life and all that I am
I want more

in this moment test me with your fire
with a genuine faith I honor my Christ
in this waking my holy desire is to see the nations worship You
Lyrics
14. Perfect Law Play
Perfect Law
untouchable are the ones who need it most
I carry hope, but preferences come when I need it most

if I walk away watching you (with great delusion in your eyes)
and by walking away condemns you--exploiting freedom, denying life

let love be without hypocrisy, let love be the perfect law

we parade as kings but are merely thieves redeemed by love--we’re redeemed by blood
He embodies hope and He preferences none, came to heal the most who need it most

if I walk away watching you (with great delusion in your eyes)
but He walks to you in your despair--with absolution, now alive

Lyrics
15. Mysteries Play
Mysteries
You said You loved the world before the beginning
but what about the chosen, what about freewill
oh the mystery of You
what about the things I’ve done, whether they are wrong or right
You still get the glory anyway
oh the mysteries of You

You walked upon the earth while holding it in Your hands
You are the Father, you are the Son
oh the mystery of You
acts of injustice, oh the problem of evil
You became the victim and still let it all happen
oh the mystery of You

Your mysteries don’t diminish the evidence of your existence
It’s what makes you God
Lyrics
16. Son of God Play Tablature
Son of God
the problem with evil is we want to blame it on God
where justice and what’s allowed is never quite understood
the world in His hands and on His heart
the price of His Son the hardest part

Son of God the Father looks down
on the Lambs pure blood it covers us

the problem with us is we deserve the wrath of God
where justice and what’s required impairs us from the start
the world in His hands and on His heart
the Father’s rejection the hardest part

the darkness in Christ’s death was evil at its best
commence the beating in His chest
that silences the lies before the throne of God

it covers us
Lyrics
17. Eyes on Me Play
Eyes on Me
are you what I’ve been missing?
fill the hole in my heart
I guess no pretending--there’s no escaping

are You gazing Your eyes on me?
I feel You reaching for me--dare I let go?

time to turn a new direction, but have I gone to far?
why would you have me, oh to even have the thought of me?
what am I hearing? what’s coming over me?

I’m falling apart, so set me apart

You have gazed Your eyes upon me
You reached me now You form me
I’ll never let go
Lyrics

1. Lesser Loves Play
Lesser Loves
Living on both sides of the line
Between tragedy and divine.
A love has run its course
without action…divorce.
All these lesser loves have made me blind.
All my righteous acts – sour wine.
I will not stand any longer.
I will not run any farther.
Oh to follow the steps of a martyr
won’t cure this disease.

Reactions elicit light
New passions justified.

2. Maple Tree Play
Maple Tree
Plans in life are re-arranged
They’re set back--destroyed.
It’s easy to feel like you are
On a journey to nowhere.
Don’t sit around for a call
You could wait for a lifetime.
He gave us minds of our own
To envision--to dream.
Try, Try
You could feel His voice
Moving you to where He wants.
Try, Try
He will show you
And change your heart’s desire.

What would your life look like
If you let go and took a risk?
And you started walking the line between
Being responsible yet being obedient.
Well, are you looking for someone to believe in, to hold onto?
Well, thats somebody’s Jesus and He’s ready to move in your life.

3. Breaking In Play
Breaking In
The pain awaits
The moment you are born.
Hope seems dead
As you stare into the void.
You could try to pacify this curse
But redemption lies
With a zealot and a hearse.
And we run
For our very lives to God
And we run
For this promised hope is ours

Breathing now
Atmosphere infinite
It’s the breath of life--
It’s the destine intent.
He’s alive
And He comes to heal again.
No matter what you’ve done
No matter where you’ve been.
Power is breaking in.
Light surrounding.
Light is breaking out.
Let it go
Hope is come.

Stark Staring Mad (part a)
It seems so impossible
To live a life responsible
To truth
You’re living a lie.
Reject the impossible
And live the life responsible
To truth
I’m living alive.

5. Sailor's Sky Play
Sailor's Sky
A thought came up in conversation yesterday…
How simple devotion turns into drudgery.
It seems my mind keeps battling this wondering war--
Racing everywhere, there’s always something more.
Is your life in the night like a sailor’s sky?
A thought came up in conversation yesterday…
How our selfish motives turn orphans away.
With open eyes I start to win this constant war--
Awakened holiness further than before.
We need discipline, obedience, training up your mind, being genuine.
With your life in the night like a sailor’s sky

6. Stark Staring Mad (part b) Play
Stark Staring Mad (part b)
Looking out for a man
Not blown by the wind--
For me.
See my sons forget what’s right
Too much of a price
For me.
Life in full
You’ve tasted it once, you poor misguided fool
Life in full
Sand in the wind, I’m trying to stand for you

I’m looking out
Seeing men
Glorify sin, blending in, exploiting you.
Standing out
Maybe stark staring mad--
But you’re more than a fad to me.
Drowned out
All the pain, temporal gain
In light of you.

7. Sweet Remedy Play
Sweet Remedy
She loved the unlovable throughout her life.
She changed one life at a time with that smile.
She taught me how to forget
The worries of the world.
She made it easy for me
To become who I need to be.
You’re the sweet, sweet remedy tonight
The sweet, sweet remedy on the pain
You are my Refuge
My sweet, sweet remedy

Won’t let her death be a waste
I’ll be a light.
Following in her steps
As she followed Christ.
But oh, how I miss her
Oh so sad.
She is laughing and having a blast
In sweet, sweet glory.
You bring me the peace that passes all understanding
Oh, but it still hurts.
Elohim, Elohim, Elohim
I feel so alone now I’m dying to reach her
Can’t let my mind erase the thought of her.
Wish I could hold her a little bit longer
But that would only make it harder.

8. Lights Go Out Play
Lights Go Out
When your friend is like a stranger
The love of your world has forsaken.
Distance from home
No longer your own
It’s like watching the lights go out from the love of a marriage.
It like watching the tears fall down from the eyes of the faithful.
The world revolves around more than one person.
There is pain in selfish gain.

When your trust is now suspicion
And anger has turned into anguish.
Your mind collapses
From exhaustion
Work Your wonders
Turn on the lights.
Bring your healing
Oh I’m begging now for a miracle

9. Cry Play
Cry
You tried to speak to me
But I pretended I couldn’t hear You.
Come again, come again now…
I pushed You away from me
Forgot the reason why I breathe.
And looking back, looking back now…
Makes me cry
It started small but then it lead
To a place I never dreamed
I was far from who I claimed to be.
My love grew so cold
I hurt the ones that I loved most
And looking back, looking back now…
I was at the edge of losing it all
But You pulled me back
You saved me.
And thinking how long
You waited for me
With open arms.
Makes me cry tears to You--
Cry my praise to You--
Cries to You Lord.
I’m coming back, coming back now.
No looking back now.

10. American Dream Play
American Dream
Good morning light, I can feel Your warmth now.
It is waking me, waking me to a paradise.
It is hard to see life without You and me.
You have given me, given me more than I deserve
American dream, American dream
It is like me to forget what You have done for me.
And become entangled in a world of opportunity.
Well I’ve been consumed, so trapped in my success, I confess.
I lost the reason why I first believed You’re my relief.
So take it back and take my hand.
You mean more than my American dream.

11. Breathe to Lead Play
Breathe to Lead
When you’ve been trampled on
And you feel solo in your pain.
Will you go?
Will a memory make you come undone within?
Lift my head above
Empower me to mirror You
In Your darkest hour.
Will the wicked feel your rain
Flooding earth?
Will the good break the night
With red rays from you?
Can we learn to love our enemies?
Hold back not come undone
And breathe to lead the broken.
Tell me can we learn to love even when it hurts?
Give back, deny self
And breathe to lead the broken.

It’s holding me back--bitter heart.
Lost forgiveness but yet I’m free.
Oh to see the end
From the beginning.

12. Voidless World Play
Voidless World
Wondering why you’re alive
What’s the meaning of this?
Is there something bigger here?
When you lay down your head to sleep
And you dream of a world
Where all fear is gone.
Where void is filled.
And guilt is gone.
Where old is made new.
Like being born again
Seeing a different view.

When daily life has been shut down
And you’re alone and you sense something wrong.
Can’t explain this heartache
So you escape to a world to find hope inside
Void is filled.
Guilt is gone.
Old is made new.
When you are born again
You’ll see from a different view.
Freedom has come
Freedom is near.

Fly Away
Oh the urge inside how it comes alive
In my mind a war to overcome my soul
How I long to win and have a victory
How I long to win make it go away

Fly away it will be okay
Fly away theres no more time to play


Oh the urge inside thoughts of compromise
In my mind a war it starts to take control

Fly away it will be okay
Fly away theres no more time to play
Fly away I cannot wait till May


Well I know I've been flirting near the ring
And I know I can beat it but the flesh hangs on
And I know there is only one way out one way out

Let it Rain
I stand hear on the outside
I’ve been wanting something more other than You
Many fears grow inside me
As you reveal to me all of my wickedness
As I breathe Yes I breath

Let it Rain Let It Rain

Love fades I feel but I don’t know why
I’ve never felt so much distance in your presence now
I fall down as I cry out to you
Watching and waiting for your love to come and move me

I can’t even fathom what Your doing hear
You are the only King I want to live for
