Foundations of time from the first Earth age
You breathed life into each and every soul Before the child conceived, the plan was secure A life no law of man can claim or hold We expose our pride in what we perceive as wise And take the new life into our own hands Without regard for the blessed new heartbeat The machine we created cuts the silver strand We won't be distracted by the same life we hold to With our goals and desires we strive to achieve In our self-proclaimed right for power over life We now find more value in the trees In the end our human will won't be done Though thru time we deceive ourselves to believe And the blood that we spilled, the dreams that we killed In those fractured wombs we'll one day grieve 02. Breath Of Life
Tossed by the waves, am I sinking
Grasping for your life so completely I let you down many times too often Without you the tides of hope have broken Will you pass my way again And cleanse this broken heart, heart of sin Make straight the crooked path I'd chosen And calm the storm inside Restore to me Lord the joy of your salvation Please don't take your Holy Spirit away These broken bones can't take another night For you alone are the Breath of Life Can't bear to think of your sacrifice To hurt you more when I denied Don't want to lose you again, no not ever Turn these grains of sand to stone forever Will you pass my way again Mercy undeserved, light again my days Apart from you, only hopelessness abound Give me strength to live and be found 03. Though He Slay Me
Though He slay me, yet I will hope in Him
Though He slay me, yet I will hope in Him Jesus, will you teach me to deny myself Jesus, will you show me how to die to myself My flesh is weak, my soul is frail But in my weakness Your love never fails Though He slay me, yet I will hope in Him Though He slay me, yet I will hope in Him This passing world, all in vain, still tugs at my heart With all its desires and promises, it can never impart Obedience over sacrifice Is Your desire, not by my own device May Your glory be a covering for all my iniquities That leads me back into Your arms of righteousness I fell behind, thought that I could do this on my own Then all my trust fell to dust, and left me all alone 04. Psalms
From the depths I call, Lord hear my voice
Lord bend Your ear, attend to my heart If You kept account according to our sins Tell me who could stand, Lord who could stand But with You is forgiveness, that You may be feared So I expectantly wait and put my hope in Your Word Like a watchman for morning, even more so I wait And hope in You Lord, for there Your mercy redeems Lord my heart is not proved, nor my eyes are lofty Neither do I find myself in matters too great for me Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul Like a weaned child and mother, like a weaned child is my soul 05. Dayspring
Can you take the pain
Can you take the shame Won't you take a stand And give up being a broken man You play with sin, fall everytime A broken heart and a seared mind But there's one to lift and restore And bring you back to His glory Have you scratched the surface of light Staying bound in darkness, doin' your time Well God Almighty has a future and hope These thoughts towards you He wants you to know Trust in Him, not how you understand In all your ways, He will direct your path At this place there's peace you will find Guard your heart for it flows the issues of life Come to Me, so you can stand Come to Me, be free at last A Dayspring flows from my pierced hands For one and all, the Son of Man 06. Timeless Hearts
The passing days grow longer and longer
With overflowing thoughts of sorrows As your love carves its way through my heart So beckons the tears that fall in the dark My world falls empty apart from your face You're everything the heavens embrace My body aches for your beauty again My mind hates the days of my sin Love is patient, love is kind Does not boast, rejoices in right Love bears all, believes all things Hopes all things, and never ends Into the sunrise where time heals wounds Where it's never too late and never too soon Through all of our tears of sadness and distress Our dream still lives in a heart that's timeless 07. He's God
What makes a man want to tear away within
When we can't face the truth and it seems there's no end There's a way we can come, there's a road we can take Where we'll find the strength to start a brand new day We hold back the tears and we hold in our fears There's got to be more in this life to live for He's God, forever and a day He's God, He is the only way He's God, He's the King on High He's God... In the storms of our lives when it seems we can't bear The pressure each day, sometimes it's so hard to care And our souls cry out, we've got to take a stand Put our trust in Him, He is the Beginning and End Leave our cares with Him and our lives He will change On the road less-traveled, He'll show us the way He's God... He's a Mighty Mountain 08. Desperation
When rain drops fall and you feel low
Ah, do you ever think it's useless Do you feel like letting go Do you ever sit and do you wonder Will the world ever change And just how long will it take To have it all rearranged Tell me why these things are still the same Tell me why no one can seem to learn from mistakes Take my hand if you don't know where your goin' I'll understand, I've lost the way myself Oh, don't take that old road it leads to nowhere We must return before the clock strikes twelve It's so easy to do nothin' When you're busy night and day Take a step in one direction And take a step the other way So don't stop tryin' when you stumble Don't give up should you fall Keep on searchin' for the passway That will lead you through the wall Don't look back or you'll be left behind Don't look back or you will never find peace of mind 09. As A Dog Returns
hadows fall, another daylight dies
I gave up the ghost and the chains that bind Leave it behind, all that's misaligned Press into the new and back to the truth Many days of shame have wrought to defame The Name that's above all other names Lead me beyond to much greater things Let this new hope be the song I sing The tempter found one little crack In my armor I thought I'd patched Then took me places I shouldn't have gone I found myself much too far from home All the kingdom's pleasure for a season of time But the glass ain't clear till you drink the wine Now in stride I climb the steps from deceit What the world offers brought me to my knees As a dog returns to his vomit So a fool repeats his folly |
