- My Trials To Your Agonies They Do Not Compare
They felt your wounds they saw your scars
Still faithless eyes plagued their minds
You’ve kept Your word as I’ve ruined mine
I’m finding out
I watched the world die resting in flames
And though I still try God you beckon me
This beast tears at my throat over and over again
- Alone
Face the truth of what will soon transpire
The time elapsed is going to expire
All alone we hurtle towards the sun
The beauty and the terror has begun
Flames swallow the night
Terror alone won't make you believe and see the beauty
Shutting your eyes to darken won't help it, eventually we'll see
- Amnesty
“Doctor! Doctor! Check all the vitals
This tragedy struck is done and it's final
Don't you, don't you know it's been said?
You can be alive while already dead”
Once laid in darkness with no plan devised
The slightest glimpse of light would burn my eyes
- Asleep
Eyes wide in this reverie but it's all still dark as night
I'm falling fast asleep
Black tides of my misery coming down upon my sight
I drown into the deep
Is there but a ghost inside these bones?
Come now My darling! Come now beloved, My love it calls you!
- Awaken
Who's shut the mouths of beasts and with the sound of His voice it renders peace?
Who's drowned the earth with rain and made a promise to man to never do the same?
Who's crushed the walls of stone by the use of the sound of the trumpets blown?
Who appoints the kings to throne? The one true King!
Who's quenched a violent fire? Raised and destroyed empires?
Oh how you manifest your grace and power my great King
You're my great King!
- Broken Bones
Barely alive, but who'd believe it
I'm living clean, but my heart is defiled
Barely alive, but who'd believe it
I bear a heart of stone
Yeah
I look alive but the inside is something worse
Fooling all with the right deeds and nice words
- Dead Man
Dead Man
I was once a dead man
A stranger with no home
- Deadweight
Don't stop bleeding out the pride in me
Don't stop till my eyes will see it
These hands are calloused throwing stone after stone
The one in my chest was the only one I left alone
I bound the reach of Your mercy in my heart putting a price upon the grace that's fully free
I still choke upon the words I'd spoken
I can feel the way they cut me open
- Dust to Dust
What will you gain?
What will you earn?
What is your claim?
From dust we come and dust we return
If I loved wealth, I'd find the root of evil
If I lust for power, I'd lose my soul
If I sought fame, I'd be a thief of all your honour, honour, glory and praise
- Eclipse
The truth of my lies is tearing up these eyes because the fire is gone
To wash off this stain I would have to burn it all and start it again
If I fall away will I ever see Your face?
Is it much too late?
Have I gone too far?
Am I on the narrow road?
- Evil Are the Kings
We just don't care
I think that we all know, we're well aware
Swallowed in shadows but still don't care
I think that we all know, we're well aware
There's no self-repair
Tell me it isn't true, these cries are ruthless
And ""hatred without a cause"" a just illusion
- Face to Face
Walk with me and follow close and you will start to feel
The chilling grip of hollow lies and what is truly real
Hear the echoes
Face to face with distant fears that I had thought were numb
They clip my heel and bring to light what I have become
Echoes
Everything I fear
- Grave Digger
I awoke, the ground was hard and barely broke
The air was filled with morning's smoke
The hours fly by so I work
There's bound to be wealth in this dirt
The heart of the earth holds the key
Where all my troubles will flee
So I dig, and I dig, and I dig
- Heralds
Check my pulse, am I still breathing?
Will You grasp my wrist and hold it dear to You heart?
To see if I am beating for You and only You my Father
- Hindsight
As I drift on the water, a voice calling to me had said
"Sail in to the harbor, cast down your nets and follow Me"
First of all the chosen, I saw the raising of the dead
It must be my devotion, for I stood alone upon that sea
So I walked on the tempest, I saw the waves below my feet
It's clear I was the bravest, to meet the stranger on the deep
- In Your Wake
A selfish man, a wretch I do stand, just as you we are the same
But how is it that justice follows in Your wake and grace remains?
And grace remains? Your grace remains! Still grace remains!
This is justice for my wickedness with your Son descending
Onto this world bearing our sin
We're helpless in need of Your grace
This freedom is not in our hands
- Kiss the Wave
I see the wind and water shifting at the change of the tide
I hear the call, Abandon ship! as all the torrents collide
As we are sailing into darkness, singing lullabies eyes closed I rest as I kiss the wave
The sea is shaking and it threatens to drown
You feel the violence as the waves pull you down
Don't you think it's time for giving up hope
Barely holding to the end of a rope?
- Lowborn
Lowborn to the world was the image of what was always invisible
Unending light now veiled in the flesh - impossible!
Lowborn - Savior! Setting aside Your glory above
Emmanuel! What a world You love!
The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will raise to life
Hear the song of the angels
Glory lays in a manger
Fear not the advent of the Great I AM
- Lowly
Prisoned am I to this shell of the dust
It speaks of only fiction that I could never trust
Captured alive in this sinful estate
Vexed am I to see I do the things that I hate
Rip out the framework leave no stone unturned
Until my heart forgets all that my flesh ever learned
Tear down the structure till nothing is left
God deliver me from this body of death
- Man of Sorrows
Blistered feet, bloodied alone
Walked the streets a man unknown
Battered face as He adorns
A mocker's robe, a crown of thorns
A tree designed for His demise
Cursed, maligned by guilty cries
The nails and hammer they did meet
Two in the hands, one in the feet
- Morning Star
I can see the end in sight as we pacify our itching ears
Quickly we are trending light and absolving self of all eternal fears
Until our conscious clears
Hear this voice engage the fight as I pound my chest still knowing my end nears
Still knowing my end nears
The sun is burning out and your rule is left, your rule is left in doubt
We'll sing, and scream, and shout “For You have won, You have won the bout!”
- my ransomed soul
Buried in the heart of the earth
(Blood was shed for)
There for three days bearing my shame
(A world of men)
This man of sorrows despised for His love
The blood at Calvary ransomed now oh my soul
I deserve the cross I deserve a death for I am fallen
- No Rival
Fight the good fight, (the) attempt for the brave
This trek for the lost has brought more than a grave
Bathed in the fire for you hope water's pure
The flames will grow higher it's taste is your cure
I do not fear the world's fire for it (only) burns for a moment
And though it sears my skin I rest for it shall relent
With the world at your feet and the fire on your back
- Oh, The Depths
Oh the depths of riches, like the water that fills the earth
The knowledge of my Creator who gives me worth
And though I crave to know all of the patterns of this world
Is endless for it's beyond tracing out
So from as far as I've seen there is a great hoard against me
Because I am a man sights see targets on my back
For all our hearts are not clean and the archers fire freely
- Out of Sight
Piercing eyes into a dark unknown see what's hidden there
And I'm terrified by beauty there enthroned
Emptied and laid bare Oh save me
No! I'm fallen and alone
Take it away because I cannot bear to see it again
My heart can't handle all the guilt in my life
Oh will you put it out of sight
- Peace That Starts the War
Scratching and clawing
These voices fight for my life, they're saying
This is who you are, you're a fake you're a sham
You aren't fooling no one
No one can condemn me for a debt or crime that has been paid off
Nothing divides or separates
Cut me open till it's all run dry
Kill the life of death that's in my eyes
- Planning a Prison Break
Warden's calling for a lock down baby, he'll call on interim inequities
This is the last night in my body: assist in the escape
Warden's calling ON a jailbreak baby, he'll fly like only a jailbird could, he'll fly like only a jailbird could
Like a felon, he fell into scandals, scams and masterplans
To circumvent all circumstances
He thought to his throat, "we can swallow this key
And leave when we please"
- Pulled from the Deep
Oceans come to pass on the wreckage of all my drowning vessels
Still these waters swallow and torment all the men that face their swells
In this sea of treachery my heart holds fast to this vessel
As the waves pass over me I feel this ship tremble
Breaking and burning and shifting and turning
I feel this ship fail beneath my feet
Somebody save me!
- Relief
For we do not have a God who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses
But One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of Grace
So we may receive mercy and find help
All who are burdened and seeking respite
All of the hopeless, wretched, and desperate
All who are worn out, and feeling oppressed
- Safeguards
These eyes have seen the joys yet suffered
Mind and body
Though still I'll sing
"How Great Thou Art"
Calm my heart
And give me
Still peace
- Shadows
You
I was staring deep into the dark of a cave
With apparitions dancing slowly on my imminent grave
Six feet down and I'm falling asleep
You know the devil's in the details
So I'm staring deep into the darkness of a cave
Thinking I could only dream about the light and the sun
- Silent Anthem
I'm not singing this song like it's fading in the background
I'm not singing this song like it's going to be the last time
The first note of the melody has rung out too much of the divine
The curse is the end of the verse with a thunderous voice, but you draw the line
Just silence the beauty and fill the world with pain
Just violence and chaos, where all is lost and vain
My heart still echoes the words You burned inside that are endless
- Slaves
I saw these chains locked on my wrists
Around my neck no shackles missed
I'd tried to shake them off and flee
Nowhere to go without a key
Awoke my eyes drew the first breath
New to the world but not to death
This plan devised in secrecy
- Step Out to the Water
Step out to the water and you'll see what I believe
Come out to the water and you'll see of whom I sing
For the seas are raging and the ocean grows
I see your arms are flailing as your panic shows
Look beyond the waves to the One who saves
Still this storm is waging with its fiercest blows
For your knees are shaking at your darkest woes
- The Bird and the Snake
The morning is coming with a hunger to feed.
I'll do what I've got to get the taste that I need.
Minute by minute and hour by hour.
I'll feed this pit with what I find and all I can scour.
Give me a feather and I'll trade you my friend.
It's just a single feather dear, it won't be the end.
- The Harvest
The valley is wide and the canyons are deep
For a harvest is ready of that which to reap
Many before grabbed a sickle to shear
But their days have past and your time is near
So listen to me
and heed my words see
The world will tell you
that we are foolish
- The King
I saw heaven standing open there
And there before was the One who is faithful and true
Born this day the Christ of our age
His life bringing death to sin
Death to sin
This war on sin and death
- The Sea in Between
Will You carry me across and redeem what I have lost? What I lost
Divided, as the sea becomes my war
Surrounded, and I'm swallowed in its roar
Sinking down below to the ocean's floor
Lost, forsaken it spits me back out to shore
Every time I navigate these seas, I am left with nothing
- Through the Night
I've seen the road and it's snares
I bore the load though it wears
I've heard your curses and taunts and yet it won't stop me
I've heard your curses and slights and still it won't stop me
Slept through the coldest of nights
From ever calling You “king”
Or hide the Gospel we bring
It's burning bright in my eyes
- Tonight My Son, Be Still And Sleep
Tonight my son, be still and sleep while storms are crashing
On this deep we drop the anchor with the hope
This vessel holds us still
Oh Great Captain, You navigate the storm
My son be still and sleep while storms are crashing
Oh Great Captain, You navigate the storm
An angry water surges the waves have taken its toll
- Vapors
I'll walk Your path for You write my story
And I'll count the days till I see Your glory
You will clothe us in spotless white
I'll sing to Your glories, what a beautiful sight
A host of saints and all the angels
With no constraints and nothing painful
We'll sing these songs and You will listen
In the Book of Life our names are written
- Wake Up
Wake up! Wake up!
The wolves are biting.
The wolves are clawing and snatching up the sheep.
For if we speak without the truth upon our lips,
We're giving in and we’re falling fast asleep.
Creating more prodigals.
- War in the Time of Peace
Marching alone where I don't belong
Tapping along in the dark before the dawn
Nothing is wrong, you're here
Abandon the sound of the captain's call
Grabbing my gear as I jump the wall before, before nightfall is here
I've crossed the line of the great divide
I heard your orders
- We Are The Ones
I consider my life worth nothing to me if only I may finish the race
and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me. The task of testifying
to the Gospel of God's grace. Now I know that none of you whom I have gone
about preaching the Kingdom will ever see me again. Therefore I declare
to you that I am innocent of the blood of all men for I have not hesistated
to proclaim the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the
flock to which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of
the church, of God, which He bought with His own blood. I know that when
- Weight of Glory
Hold fast hope
Brace for impact, these dark days they will grip and chain you
Fight until the prison breaks
Face the onslaught of the plague
We will fight off the darkness even if it breaks our flesh
Flesh and blood will die as we rise above
Shadows turn to dust as we rise above
- White Flag
Feel the pain of falling embers fade and burn as I surrender
Raise the white flag for my life
Disarm the hate and heal the wounds of pain that's self-inflicted
This mutiny has left behind
I feel it burning on inside my bones
All the wars that left me here to die
Feel the pain of falling embers fade and burn as I surrender
- Wild Heart
Knee deep in the swelling seas without a
Thought or realization of my dying need
I cannot, can't keep out this grim disease
For it has plagued and overtaken all, all our dying breed
Waist deep in the ocean's sleep
Without a thought or realization of my dying need
I cannot, can't keep what I didn't reap for
I see justice coming swiftly for, every thought and deed
