Surfacing
03:30
|
|||
|
I feel your waters rushing in
Perceptions wash against my skin
You drag me down until I cannot see
Replaying words of what went wrong
These ghosts of foolish failures gone
And reasons for the man I cannot be
Like a figure under glass
Fighting for his final gasp
I’ve had enough, I see light above
I’m leaving the lies of this abyss
Your waters so cold, they swallow my soul
I’m drowning in seas that don’t exist
I’m surfacing, surfacing
You cloud my thoughts with subtlety
And misconstrue reality
The more I hear, the more it feels like me
You wrap your claws around my heart
And slowly pick my hope apart
You keep me from the air that sets me free
With a spray of shattered blue
My lungs renewed with truth
Repeat Chorus
I’m so sick of trying to save myself
Dear God, I’m desperate for Your help
These lonely blackened depths will leave me dead
There’s no safe place inside I can turn
Please give me guidance to discern
Your voice from all this fiction In my head, my head
Repeat Chorus

Shadows & Sunlight
04:43
|
|||
|
This is your silhouette
Your midnight cigarette
Dark roads and cheapened magazines
This is your comfort vice
Whispers of skin’s entice
These are your life’s deleted scenes
The fog is hanging low
No one will ever know
What will it take to make you see this thing is killing you?
What will you give before the fire steals it all from you?
You drink to chance, you chase the night, you hide your sin
Until the morning, and the sun rises again
This is your flawed regret
Your convenient disconnect
Candle calls and unaltered reprises
These are your second tries
Your self-help alibis
But you’re still in love with your disease
Back to the mud you go
And what you reap, you’ll sow
Repeat Chorus
And the shadows, and the shadows get closer, get closer
And the shadows, and the shadows get closer to the sunlight, the sunlight
And the shadows, and the shadows get closer, get closer
And the shadows, and the shadows get closer to the sunlight, the sunlight
The fog is hanging low
Which way will you go?
Repeat Chorus

More Than Broken
04:01
|
|||
|
She spends her mornings
Dodging glances from the mirror
Wondering what happened
To the man who wiped her tears
He said he loved her
Now his words cut to the core
She’s nothing more to him than the lies he’d left before
Inside she’s crumbling
And it’s everything she’s done
What am I worth?
What do I matter in this tale of tattered dreams?
I’m just a voice lost in the wreckage
Losing reasons to believe
I keep fighting to belong
But I’m barely hanging on
A Sunday smile shrouds the war
’Cause I’m dying to be more than broken
He spends his evenings
Pretending not to care
Head beneath the pillow
There’s an argument downstairs
He was never good enough
Was he really their mistake?
The things that made him different now
Were the things he’d grown to hate
He’s tired of trying
They’ll regret the mess they’ve made
What am I worth?
What do I matter in this tale of tattered dreams?
I’m just a voice lost in the wreckage
Losing reasons to believe
I keep fighting to belong
But I’m barely hanging on
A wounded smile cloaks the war
’Cause I’m dying to be more, more than broken
Maybe there’s love that won’t let go
Maybe there’s One who heals the soul
A constant friend along uncertain roads
Maybe He meets us where we are
Making beautiful these scars
He hears the cries of our forsaken hearts
What are you worth?
What do you matter in this tale of tattered dreams?
Are you just a voice lost in the wreckage
Losing reasons to believe?
When you’re fighting to belong
And it feels all love is gone
There’s a God who knows your war
And He lives to make you more than broken
More than broken

Hanging in the Balance
04:02
|
|||
|
It’s in days like these
Our fortresses are candid
How breakable, how fragile and exposed
There’s so much we love
And so much we‘ve abandoned
On a stage not ours, in a play we never wrote
And when the answers
That we cling to are a blur
And when the pillars
That we trust in are unsure
You are The Lord, the First and Last
God of the Ages, Unsurpassed
Who are we here that You should care
We fade away like grass
You are above all time and space
You hold the galaxies in place
You know the hairs upon my head
Each breath is by Your grace
I am hanging in the balance of Your hands
I am hanging in the balance of Your hands
It’s in days like these
Our purpose is awakened
And we’re forced to face the place our treasure lies
As the earth below
Our mortal feet is shaken
The hope of glory wells within our eyes
As their kingdoms fail
A greater Kingdom stands
As their hope is lost
We’re sheltered in Your hands
Repeat Chorus
And as the world as we know it starts to crumble
As its flags begin to burn
We will raise our eyes in worship and in wonder
For Your Love is ever firm/I am hanging in the balance of Your hands
I am hanging in the balance of Your hands
Repeat Chorus

Keeping Time
03:15
|
|||
|
Quarter past five and he’s forcing a break
He’ll say it’s nothing ‘bout the figures he makes
I wonder what’s the reason, this weary cycle he’s in
Some insecurity that he can’t shake
His greatest fear is awaking to flames
Knowing that there’s nothing left to his name
All the days he’s slaving, for a life he’s hating
Trying to reconcile the emptiness and the pain
Like the sands of an hourglass shifting away
Like the hands of a clock spinning out on the day
He’s obsessed with a speck on eternity’s line
’Cause all he knows is keeping time
Twenty third birthday, always trapped in herself
Beauty for the cover of a prisoner cell
Another glide of make-up
Her heart a chronic break-up
If only she could see beyond the magazine shelf
Like the sands of an hourglass shifting away
Like the hands of a clock spinning out on the day
She’s obsessed with a speck on eternity’s line
’Cause all she knows is keeping time
This world and its lies, just leaves us wanting more
We’re born and we die, what are we dying for?
These treasures that we clutch
They all just turn to dust
Would we gain it all if we lost it all for love?
Like the sands of an hourglass shifting away
Like the hands of a clock spinning out on the day
We’re obsessed with a speck on eternity’s line
When all we know is keeping time
Like the sands of an hourglass shifting away
Like the hands of a clock spinning out on the day
We’re obsessed with a speck on eternity’s line
The more we grab, the more we’ll find
We’re losing time keeping time
Losing time, keeping time

Missing
04:04
|
|||
|
Don’t know the day you disappeared
Let me just say it’s not the same without you here
All it could be, it never will be
As long as you hold the world at bay
Wish I knew why you run away
And I wonder what went wrong
All the years that you’ve been gone
I’ve been searching for so long
Still you’re missing
My spirit’s in despair
Are these feelings ones we share?
Could it be that you don’t care
That you’re missing?
You’re still missing
I’ve done all I can to make this right
Boards on the windows, you won’t let me near your life
They say we’ll stay close to what means the most
And sadly I feel from you so far
I can’t say I know just who you are
And I wonder what went wrong
All the years that you’ve been gone
I’ve been searching for so long
Still you’re missing
My spirit’s in despair
Are these feelings ones we share?
How I wish that you were here
Still you’re missing
Will it always be this way?
Will we hang our hearts someday?
Sorry that we hadn’t held the moments
Closer than we did?
Only God can crack the walls
And awake the wasted cause
How I pray He’ll give us reasons to begin
Can we leave the place we’ve been?
And I wonder what went wrong
All the years that you’ve been gone
We’ve been searching for so long
Still you’re missing/You’ve left us in despair
Are these feelings ones you share?
If you knew how much we cared
But you’re missing
All you’re missing
All you’re missing

Canyon's Edge
05:11
|
|||
|
I’ve heard it time and time again,
More than I could count,
And I’ve always seemed to find a road out
But somehow the signs make sense
As my heart is caving in,
This night was not by accident
Feels like there’s a thousand voices
Screaming out to me,
And I don’t know which to believe
You’ve led me here to the edge of a canyon,
I’ve run so far, now there’s nowhere else to go
You whisper son just take my hand and
Let yourself fall from the rocks you used to know,
But I’m afraid of what’s below
This canyon’s edge
So lost, I can’t find where to start,
With all my best attempts,
Have You seen the places that I’ve been?
But You’re reaching out Your arms,
Saying, come just as you are,
‘Cause nothing can keep us apart
Feels like there’s a single voice
Who’s silencing them all,
Lord Jesus, catch me as I fall
You’ve led me here to the edge of a canyon,
I’ve run so far, now there’s nowhere else to go
You whisper son just take my hand and
Let yourself fly from the rocks you used to know,
But I’m afraid of what’s below
This canyon’s edge
I AM the Resurrection,
The Way, The Truth, The Life,
I AM the only Passage from here to the other side
No one comes to the Father
Except he trust my name
This cross I gave my life on
Is where you’ll find that yours begins, yours begins
You’ve led me here to the edge of a canyon,
I’ve run so far, now there’s nowhere else to go
You whisper son just hold my hand and
Let yourself fly from the rocks that blur below
This new world that you will know
This new world that you will know
Beyond this canyon’s edge
This canyon’s edge

Bed of Strangers
04:07
|
|||
|
This was not the world they pictured,
A flowered landscape now submerged in lifeless snow
Diamond dreams outgrew their glitter,
And the love they’d lost is everything they’d know
Beneath a sky of scars,
In sheets of bleeding hearts,
This bed of strangers,
A foot away, a trillion worlds apart
Had this house known a foundation?
Sinking floors of stubborn wills and setting suns,
Vows replaced with words of venom,
Never understood how two could become one,
Become one
Is this all, is this all?
How we see is who we are
Repeat Chorus
A choice away, but a trillion worlds apart

A World Without
04:31
|
|||
|
Hunger feasts on fields so poor,
Chains of famine, and trails of war,
Sunken stares of cruel disease,
A widow’s cry, an orphan’s plea
Do we know how much they’re loved?
Break me for a world in need,
The innocents whose spirits bleed,
Let their burdens bring me to my knees,
I’m closest to Your heart
When I’m reaching one of these
Sidewalks speak, graffiti’s park,
Cardboard signs, and a shopping cart,
The next door fight we’ve yet to meet,
The strobe light blinds across the street
Do we know how much they’re loved?
Break me for a world in need,
The wounded souls, the wandering sheep,
May their burdens bring me to my knees,
I’m closest to Your heart
When I’m reaching one of these
A world without Your peace,
A world without Your hope,
Blessed are the ones who go
Repeat Chorus

Today
02:56
|
|||
|
You thought you were strong,
Blind sighted, you’re back in the clash that you left
You thought this was gone,
But this morning it hit like a swing to your chest
And your heart is wearing thin,
And you’re tempted to give in
You’ve gotta push on, stay strong,
Don’t look back, just keep on running,
He’s gonna show you the way
So lift your head up, get up,
The prize ahead is worth the fighting,
Just set your eyes on today
You’ve stood through the night,
But even the bravest of saints, they grow tired
He’s felt what it’s like,
And He knows how to rescue the drained from the fire
When help is what you need,
The truth can set you free
Repeat Chorus
When the demons are raging,
And you feel that spiral down,
See that it’s in your weakness,
That this perfect strength is found
Repeat Chorus
You’ve gotta hang on today
You’ve gotta hang on today
All You’ve got is today

Worshipping You
04:58
|
|||
|
Where can I flee, where can I flee
The God of everything?
How can I speak, how can I speak
In the presence of a King?
Just as a sheep, just as a sheep
From the fold has gone astray
How quickly I leave, how quickly I leave,
The One who paid my way
What has my heart become?
What has my heart become?
Jesus, I’m broken, longing for You
I’m nothing, I’m lost, I’m dead without You
Falling upon my knees before You
Worshipping You, worshipping You
Jesus, I’m broken, longing for You
I’m nothing, I’m lost, I’m dead without You
Falling upon my knees before You
Worshipping You, worshipping You
How could You die, how could You die
For the world that wove those thorns?
To think it was my, to think it was my
Very sins that sunk that sword
Oh what a grace, oh what a grace,
The blood that saved my soul
You hung in my place, You hung in my place,
The greatest love a man could know
After everything You’ve done,
After everything You’ve done,
Repeat Chorus
You are the Light, God born as man,
Slain for the world, the innocent Lamb,
You are the Life, the timeless I Am,
Holy enthroned and coming again
Repeat Chorus

Portrait of Me
05:08
|
|||
|
Here is my heart on canvas,
These are the shades of my intent,
Circles and lines so random,
And sketches of what I should’ve been
I’d like to call myself a work of art,
But our standards God are vastly far apart
If You drew a portrait of me,
Would I find Your face in it?
If You caught a likeness of me,
Would I be ashamed of it?
Am I becoming what You want to see?
Let me be your masterpiece!
This is the work of an artist,
The passionate movement of Your hand,
You carefully guide the brushstrokes,
Capturing each nuance of Your plan
And all the drafts of me I wish to throw away,
But You arrange the ugliness in a glorious display
Repeat Chorus
Hanging in your gallery,
One piece upon the wall,
If only to amaze the world
With the God who made it all
Repeat Chorus

Wherever Love Would Go
03:36
|
|||
|
It still feels like a miracle
How we came to meet
Your smile so bright and beautiful,
Your eyes so warm and sweet
A jewel among millions,
You’re the pearl that I adore
I’ll treat you like treasure,
You’re a gift from Heaven’s shore
Wherever life would lead us,
I’ll stand beside you
Let nothing come between us,
I’m fighting for you
Wherever love would go,
I’ll go there too
A love so patient, pure, and strong,
It does not seek its own
Refusing all accounts of wrong,
May peace enfold our home
With every new chapter,
Let our love grow deeper still
A string of three fibers,
Two entwined within God’s will
