Born Again
04:31
|
|||
I came into the world, into the wild
No place for a child
Used my voice to howl
With the ghouls of night
In the dying light
Had to learn to get what I need
In the dark, empty
Instincts are guiding me
Like a beast to some blood
And I can’t get enough
I’m losing control; my body, my soul
Are slowly fading away
But I’m ready now
To feel the power of change
I’m my mother’s child
I’m my father’s son
It took me awhile
But my time has come
To be born again
Running scared in between what I hate
And what I need
Savior and enemy are both trying
To take my soul
And I can’t hide no more
Stumble out to the light
Raise my fist up to fight
Then I catch your eye
So full of love
Lord, what have I done?
I cry at your feet, wounded for me
And all of the monsters and men
But here in your light
We can begin again
I’m my mother’s child
I’m my father’s son
It took me a while
But my time has come
To be born again

Colors
04:44
|
|||
Lift up your shoulders child
Breathe in
Carry the weight of love
You’ve been given
Storm is passing by
Light breaks in
As you learn to sing
Every color can
Be unwound
Woven into a wave
Of beautiful sound
Open the heavenlies and
Shake the ground
And change the world
So let all the creatures sing
Praises over everything
Colors are meant to bring
Glory to the light
Voices might fade away
And begin
Become a tapestry
We all are in
No one will ever be
Forgotten
There’s a place for us
So let all the creatures sing
Praises over everything
Colors are meant to bring
Glory to the light
Glory to the throne
This is our story
This is our song
We’re telling it slowly all life long
Of a Savior and what He’s done
It’s a mystery

A Long Way
04:55
|
|||
There’s a time in our lives
To return, sacrifice
Wild grass has grown high
On the path between our lives
There’s a light in the trees
It’s closer now, I’m on my knees
Oh Father, forgive me, please
I came a long, long way back home
To see you one more time
‘Cause I came a long, long way back home
To see you and say Goodbye
Father’s hands work the ground
Turns the soil, lays it down
Everything done and said
Lives beyond the quick and the dead
Heritage passed along
To the sons like a blessed song
So raise your voices on high tonight
We came a long, long way back home
To see you one more time
‘Cause we came a long, long way back home
To see you and say Goodbye
To hold you and say Goodbye, Goodbye

Leviathan
02:30
|
|||
All my love, all I’ve done
Falls apart, is undone
Built a tower; You tore it down
I am weak; You are strong
Who can tame Leviathan?
Mouth of Sheol sings a lonely song
Yahweh gives and takes away
Will you curse or bless the name?
Trial tests us like the flame

The Arrow
05:10
|
|||
An arrow is stuck between my ribs
And I pray to God, Don’t let it end like this
I fought like a man with will to live
But I was betrayed by the man within
How on earth did it all go down like this?
I’ve got no words to make sense of it
My shield, my fight for righteousness
Could not protect me from myself
I’m looking for the higher power
To be my mighty tower
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
But I’m-a fall seven more times
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
There’s only one way out
Please, Lord, forgive me
I’m down on my bended knees
And I need your love
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend
How long did I fool myself
Believing I, I didn’t need nobody’s help
A fool trusts in his power and his wealth
Until he’s brought down low
Unto a shadow of himself
The arrow was sent to intervene
It pierced my bones and shook me from my dream
Lord You know exactly what I need
Wounds from a friend, severe mercy
I’m looking for the higher power
To be my mighty tower
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
But I’m-a fall seven more times
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
There’s only one way out
Please, Lord, forgive me
I’m down on my bended knees
And I need your love
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend

Heavens Knife
03:22
|
|||
Take my hand
I won’t let go
We’ve waited so long
And all my life
I walked alone
To you, my heart, my home
Like the first man
I was cut so deep by heaven’s knife
When I awoke from my sleep
Oh my Lord, she’s beautiful
She’s a part of me
She’s my wife
Bound by love
One flesh to be
An unbroken ring
And I lay down
My life for thee
In this we are free
Like the first man
I was cut so deep by heaven’s knife
When I awoke from my sleep
Oh my Lord, she’ s beautiful
Walking up to me
Oh she’s wonderful, standing next to me
Oh she’s all
All that I can see, yeah
She’s beautiful, she’s a part of me
She’s my wife

Morning Light
04:32
|
|||
There’s a place, a garden for the young
To laugh and dance in safety among
The shimmering light in the garden of peace
But steal a bite and paradise is lost
With darkened hearts we didn’t count the cost
Forgot all we left behind
Life picks up speed before you know
We’re holding on for dear life, Oh Lord
We’re too proud to turn back now
One day it all falls down
It breaks our heart and it breaks our crown
Brings us down where we see
It’s gonna be alright
Turn around and let back in the light
And joy will come
Like a bird in the morning sun
And all will be made well
Once again
There’s a way that seems right to a man
Until he’s in over head and he don’t understand
How the plans he made only led him astray
But every good gift comes down from above
From the Lord of light like a labor of love
Upon the child who waits for Him
Sometimes you’ll find what you’re waiting for
Was there all along just waiting for you
To turn around and reconcile
And it may be broken down
All the bridges burned like an old ghost town
But this my son can be made new
It’s gonna be alright
Shake it out and let back in the light
And joy will come
Like a bird in the morning sun
And all will be made well
And all will be made well
And all will be made well
Once again

Always Be
03:26
|

And I will always be
And I will sing for thee
All my life
All my love
Day and night
All the way home

Home At Last
02:51
|
|||
Who is there at the end of lonesome roads?
All of us hope there’s a home
A place to rest where wounds get dressed, the table’s full
The sound of laughter in the halls
Light the fire, gather ‘round
Join together, sing it loud
Raise the glass and joyful be
Home at last, one family
We’re all orphans looking for an open door
Hard times come no more
Come on up to the house of the Lord
Father adopts us all

At The Table
04:49
|
|||
I went the ways of wayward winds
In a world of trouble and sin
Walked a long and crooked mile
Behind a million rank and file
Forgot where I came from
Somewhere back when I was young
I was a good man’s child
‘Cause I lost some nameless things
My innocence flew away from me
She had to hide her face from my desire
To embrace forbidden fire
But at night I dream
She’s singing over me
Oh, oh, my child
Come on home, home to me
And I will hold you in my arms
And joyful be
There will always, always be
A place for you at my table
Return to me
Wondering where I might begin
Hear a voice upon the wind
She’s singing faint but singing true
Son, there ain’t nothing you can do
But listen close and follow me
I’ll take you where you’re meant to be
Just don’t lose faith
So I put my hand upon the plow
Wipe the sweat up from my brow
Plant the good seed along the way
As I look forward to the day
When at last I see
My Father run to me
Singing oh, my child
Come on home, home to me
And I will hold you in my arms
And joyful be
There will always, always be
A place for you at my table
Return to me
My child

Benediction
04:09
|
|||
May all of your days shine brightly
And your nights blessed with peace
Wherever you lay down to sleep
And all things are made good
For those who believe
May you grow from a seed
Into a strong, fruitful tree
As the days unfold
Hold your breath to see
Life is a mystery
And joy, it is severe
When the way is rough and steep
But love will make your days complete
And may the work of your hands help those in need
Befriend the lonely, serve the weak
And forgive enemies
And if you find true love, one day marry
Bear a child from your seed
Help it to grow into a tree
As the days unfold
Hold your breathe to see
Life is a mystery
And joy, it is severe
When the way is rough and steep
Love will make your days complete
