Coltrane
02:58
|
|||
With the force of a Coltrane I am waiting for You to come to me
With the patience of Miles I am waiting for You to come to me
I’ve been taken and beaten and left on the streets
I’ve been taken and beaten and left alone
Could I take another hit to make my eyes roll into my head
Could they really push me down and leave me on the ground, close to dead
Could they get me really lit and leave me immovable
I’m at the end, I’m at the end

One Word
01:06
|
|||
One word, is all I seek today
One word, is all I want from You
One word, is why I’ve come right now
One word of hope, one word of life
You who knows me more than myself
You who loves me more than I know
You who speaks to me more than I hear
Open my eyes, soften my heart, help me to hear

Undone
03:21
|
|||
I refused to speak, I refused to see
Even when I felt, the weight of Your hand
Undone by the heat, Undone in my will
And you broke my heart
I cried Love will You come, and lift me above
Cause I can’t hardly breathe, just to think of Your love
Will You take me away, and sing in my ear
Songs that save
My bones are broke. my mind is gone
Just a passing mist, I’ve become
Undone in my sin, Undone in my will
And You broke my heart
I cried Love will You come, and lift me above
Cause I can’t hardly breathe, just to think of Your love
Will You take me away, and sing in my ear
Songs that save
They call me Blessed, it’s the name that You gave
I am Your child, that You stole from the grave
And I sing

Pain
03:45
|
|||
My life so far
Has been touched by Your grace
But there’s still things that shake me
I grow nearly faint
When I see all the pain
There’s times I wish I wasn’t so tender
There’s AIDS in the world
And cancer in my friends
And I’m sick now cause I’m scared
There’re people on the street
Too cold to feel their feet
And I’m shaking inside cause they hurt
Our kids just don’t know
To live in Your love
Is all that we need to be saved
It’s simple enough
Is it just like they say?
Can we call on Your name to get help
When I hear Your voice
I won’t harden my heart
I don’t want to turn away from You
And it’s just ‘round the corner
When every knee will bow
And freedom will come
And it’s just ‘round the corner

Centuries
03:39
|
|||
You will turn Your ear to me
You will hear my cry for mercy
You will loosen things unseen
What can man do to me?
You will be my help in trouble
You will be my place of refuge
You will cut these bindings free
What can man do to me?
I’ll sing for joy in Your place of rest
I’ll sleep in peace resting on Your chest
And Your voice will sound like ten thousand waters
You song will rush for ten thousand centuries
|

||||
My eyes are so blue
I feel I could look right through
And see the stars
And the moon take flight
And I wake from my stare
From who knows where
To know you’ve been thinking of me
With wonder and fear, you knit me together
You shoulda been scared when you breathed into me
I’ve a feeling you knew what I’d say and what I’d do
But your love said do it anyway
My skin is so black
I feel I’m the richest
To come from your hand
And breathe then stand
And I wake from my stare
From who knows where
To know you’ve been thinking of me
Search me oh God, know I’m nervous
Test me Father, I’m not perfect
Change me oh God with your mercy
Please smile

Dove
03:31
|
|||
You’re a dove that’s been sleeping in the dirt
With a heart for the poor
And a hand for the hurt
And you cry for all your friends
Cause you’re the only one who
Still feels
I want to know a person like you
Who’s not afraid to love the wicked and the poor
I want to know a person like you
Who’s not afraid to touch crooked and the whore
Love the sick // and divorced
Touch the user // and the falling apart
You’re a lamb wearing thorns for a crown
While your words of peace
Are bigger than sound
And you hurt for all your friends
Cause you’re the only one who
Still feels

How Great
02:58
|
|||
My hope is not beyond
The dust of Your feet
My hope is not beyond
The tears that You bleed
My hope is not beyond
The fold of Your robe
Cause Your touch, it heals me
Your touch, it heals me
Cause Your touch, it heals me
When I’m hardest to hold
It’s You who burns me
From my head to my heart
It’s You who loves me
When I’m stubborn and I’m hard
How great Thou Art
How great Thou Art
My hope is not beyond
The dark in Your eyes
My hope is not beyond
The smell of Your hair
My hope is not beyond
The rough of Your skin
Cause Your touch, it heals me

Beauty
02:35
|
|||
What a beauty You are
O victorious One
What a beauty You are
O Risen One
Come and walk with me now
Make my heart like the sun
Come and speak with me now
Call my name and I will run
What a treasure You are
O victorious One
What a treasure You are
O Risen One
Pass my way
And I’ll spend my days
Following hard after You
Pass my way
And I’ll spend my days
Following

Injustice
03:15
|
|||
My heart is getting used the idea of mercy
I’ve spent years trying to earn what I want
My hands have been weak from the first day on my own
I feel I am broken in two
Injustice I cried, injustice I lied
Cause in my heart I knew that in Yours
All was love, All was love
All was love
I’m hung over from the days of making my own way
And the dingy grey dreams that I thought would pay
For the hurt in my heart for the friends that I’ve lost
I feel I am broken in two
Rebellion breeds blindness but I see now You’re true
Sacrifice fails me again
Cause what you want is what I’ve got I give it to You
The brokenness within
Create in my a clean heart Oh God
Renew a right Spirit within

Hosanna
03:11
|
|||
My heart beats today with a faster pace than blood can flow
My heart beats today with a fevered pace my veins can’t hold
This old piece of clay that You’ve shaped for so many years
Is ‘bout to burst away as You’re drawing near
HOSANNA! HOSANNA! HOSANNA!
My mind circles today with thoughts much too big to think
My mind races today with pictures and colors too bright to keep
This old piece of clay that You’ve shaped for so many years
Is ‘bout to burst away as You’re drawing near
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
Come close my King who bears all my sorrows
Come close my King who was crushed for me
Come close my King who hears my praise
Come close my King, by your wounds I am saved

Twenty Three
04:41
|
|||
Arise Oh Lord
Lift up Your eyes
Don’t forget I’m helpless
Oh You lead me to waters and pastures so green
Oh You pour out Your oil and choose goodness and mercy for me
No I will not be in want
You’re with me
I will not fear
You comfort me
I will not fear

Home
03:04
|
|||
My soul yearns even faints
For the love of a Father who won’t leave
Cause He yearns even faints
For the love of a child like me
He calls me his son
He shakes my young soul
To His home I will run
Yes His home is my goal
Cause it’s better that way
Life’s a burden alone
Just give me one day
In my Father’s warm… home…
I am dancing
Into His house
I can’t help but
Swing wide these doors

From the Dust
03:27
|
|||
From the dust I have come
To the same I’ll return
I’m just a blade of grass under wind that blows
I’m just a flower no one will know
You form me from the earth
You fill me with your righteousness
You crown me with your love
You’re love it stays with me
So praise the Lord you mighty ones
Praise the Lord you angels of heaven
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord you tiny ones
Praise the Lord you men of the earth
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord

For Joy
02:44
|
|||
May God be gracious to us
And make His face shine down
May God be gracious to us
And make His ways known
Upon our hands that work
Upon our hearts that love
Upon our minds that hope
Upon our mouths that sing
Let’s sing, let’s sing, let’s sing
For Joy, for joy, for joy
Upon our fields so green
Upon our homes so warm
Upon our hopes so bright
Upon our kids so strong
Let’s sing, let’s sing, sing
For Joy, for joy, for joy
