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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
