| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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? |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
|||
| 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 |
||
| 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 |
