I'm a broken man
My feet on different paths
Pulled apart by head and sand
I dwell in both of them the best I can
Jealous is your plan
Alongside me you stand
My world you said that you'd expand
Then bent down with a black pen in your hand
You will draw a line
And I'll cross it in time
Convinced that with an open mind
A hardened will and some advice I'll survive
But you've seen this before
We leave all in search of more
But the honest man will always fine
The only thing he needs is to stay inside
Stay inside

Baptism Song

I'm not cut out for being alone
River run, river flow
Come take me home
That water shines like memories of old
My mind's run out of places to go
So come take me home
Bring me back, make me whole
Make it right, or run away
I've done both
My bridges burn wherever I go
Cause I can't commit to the simplest of oaths
My words spew out like billows of smoke
That I hide behind so none of you know
That I can't go home
I've turned my back on everyone that I know
Preacher man, make it right
I can't do it anymore
I feel salvation as they lower me
My poor heart has been smoldering
Rough as the coals made smooth as the stones
Beneath my feet
Life goes on for me
Maybe a little less lonely
Tag:
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good 'ol way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

Lift High

Lift high the name of Jesus
Into the manger laid
And sings the host of angels
"Emmanuel be praised"
Lift high the name of Jesus
Upon the cross is slain
Redeeming all creation
By conquering the grave
Lift high the name of Jesus
A never ending spring
He gave to us his spirit
To do much greater things
Come quickly now, Lord Jesus
Our soon returning king
Descend now from the Heavens
Make new everything

The Old Man
04:36
|

|
Son I have seen your face
Stubborn in all your ways
Reluctant to receive grace
All on your own
Though it may seem untrue
I once was just like you
Spending the days of my youth
Running away
I thought myself quite free
And spurred on by apathy
I didn't care to see
I was alone
But I wore the old man then
Bitter and arrogant
And happy without a friend
All on my own
Then glory visited me
And opened my eyes to see
The shackles around my feet
And when I saw his face
Heaven removed my chains
But he never pointed blame
Weakness turned into strength
But it was not the end
I had some wrongs to mend
And I feared the worst in men
But he was 'round every bend
And I learned to call him friend

The sun it flew over the mountains with grace
The air was cool, we walked in search of a place
Where we could dwell
The wind it blew soft as the skin on her face
And there I knew there was no sweeter a place
For us to lay
And we sang hallelujah
And her eyes, bright and as silent as stars
That dot the night and shine like a city upon a western hill
And we sang hallelujah
The river wide echoed the glorious praise
And you replied there was no better a place
For you to dwell
And we sang hallelujah

Repentance

Father I have lost my way
I was so consumed by my wickedness
So now my pride I put to rest
Cast me not away, oh Lord
Lead me back into your courts
I long to be held in your loving arms
Baptize me in your holiness
And amazing grace consume me again

Psalm 43
05:54

|
Send out your light and truth
Let them lead me, let them bring me
To your holy and your dwelling, to your dwelling
There I will dance before your altar, my father
God, my exceeding joy, I will praise you
I will lift my voice to sing
You are my God, my hope of all hopes
I will praise you aloud till the whole earth has spoke
Yahweh, you are the God of all days
In you there is life, in you I delight
I'll praise you aloud, for my hope is found in Yahweh
The name above all names
Sing praise to the one who is worthy
His grace, his salvation is our hope
So lift up a shout and call upon his name
Our hearts are on fire with your love

Endless Night

Endless night
Weighs on my burdened mind
Plagued by these thoughts of mine
A list of a million crimes
Growing light
Light up my darkened eyes
To see everything that shines
Your glory and paradise
