Scorn the use of Jesus name Bid farewell to guilt and shame You assault me with the lie As I just stand idly by I will scream for earthly things But won't whisper for the King You are right the truth is dead When I keep it in my head fear has come, pressing so strong inside of me |

Sixth street sun is going down. Pavement's cool underneath. A vagrant so they say in town seems that mercy can't compete. Sleeping in a doorway near the docks of Oyster Bay thirteen years and carrying shame never hearing the voice of the One who took his blame. A whisper - he raised his head. Surrendered out do you believe? Are you ready to ride the train? Abandoned not by Love you'll see if you're ready to ride. A one-piece paper suitcase, a past whose future was foretold, a life not made for dying, instead the mystery began to unfold. Unfolding - he raised his head. Surrendered out do you believe? Are you ready to ride the train? Abandoned not by Love you'll see if you're ready to ride. Born into despair an orphan child, will You care for me? And like the train that saved me adopted by love eternally. Opening His arms He wants you rich, you poor, you black, you white. Receive His love that runs so deep, and high, and long, and wide. Surrendered out do you believe? Are you ready to ride the train? Abandoned not by Love you'll see if you're ready to ride. |

Standing alone in a room full of faces locked up inside in a world I created distant memories are falling through these silent tears that hold me here. But still I keep hoping, knowing through it all there is a Love so strong and I see... way beyond this broken life, way beyond the fall. In Your eyes I found a peace that carries me on and it's brought me to the Truth. This is what Your grace can do. This kiss of repose has wakened me softly. Through a cradle of rest You've quietly brought me. I'm surrounded by mercy. As Your love unfolds, it makes me whole. I'll follow Your promise as my will gets lost deep within Your arms and I see... way beyond this broken life, way beyond the fall. In Your eyes I found a peace that carries me on and it's brought me to the Truth. This is what Your grace can do. There's a shelter at the cross where You gave me all the strength inside my heart to lead me on. Knowing You're with me I'm surrounded by mercy as my will gets lost deep within Your arms 'cause I see... way beyond this broken life, way beyond the fall. In Your eyes I found a peace that carries me on and it's brought me to the Truth. This is what Your grace can do. |

Broken memories found you there lost inside a silent prayer. You didn't know me (these things that hold me here) Locked up inside (under my silent tears). I guess you left your soul behind that night the stars became your guide. (You said) I'm better off creating my own reality. Nothing is lost in the search to find your own destiny. What of love? What of life? What of the everlasting sacrifice? What of joy in the pain? It's still the same as yesterday. What of love? It was Fall two years ago the day the rain turned into snow. I'll be all right. (These things that hold me here) There's no reason to stay. (Under my silent tears) What of love? What of life? What of the everlasting sacrifice? What of joy in the pain? It's still the same as yesterday. What of love? On the mountain burning bright, He's an all consuming fire. There He waits for you, to return from your dark desire. What of love? What of life? What of the everlasting sacrifice? What of joy in the pain? It's still the same as yesterday. What of love? He is love. He is life. He is the sacrifice. Joy in the pain, He's still the same as yesterday. He is Love. |

Green and wide open a soft meadow calls out to a very young girl - a world with no walls. Smiling she fashions her first daisy chain. Now dancing she sees it - the coming of rain. And the wind begins to blow stormy clouds across the plain. Her little lips they tremble to know am I safe in the rain? Tiny heart beating, fears well defined. Two tiny feet retreating the chain dropped behind. But words from her Father resound like a drum: My Love is unending, My child let it come. And the wind begins to blow stormy clouds across the plain. Her little lips they tremble to know am I safe in the rain? Though the skies begin to pour a gentle peace relieves her strain. She feels a Love so real its warm. I am safe in the rain. Lord, come; please come, like the rain. I'm not afraid anymore. Let it come. Lord, let it pour. Your Love is like the rain. |

A simple picture lies within the haze today kept by gray uncertainty, the cloud of my complacent ways. Somewhere just beyond the darkness of this place (standing here) You unveil Your glory, even through the dim I see it clear. Quiet water echoes back the melody of songs unheard Your face reflected there, now lucid where it once was blurred. All around the light is changing shining through the fog I see. You're giving me a new perspective, one of clarity. A glimmer once imagined, now revealed in Truth You hold. In imminence I wait each day and watch Your mystery unfold. All around the light is changing shining through the fog I see. You're giving me a new perspective, one of clarity. (2x) instrumental bridge All around the light is changing shining through the fog I see. You're giving me a new perspective, one of clarity. (3x) |

Standing in a sea of people - so many voices. Faces shaped by different stories - so many choices. From the pauper to the wealthy man from the high down to the low, Does our star shine any brighter? Everybody wants to know. It concerns me. Do I know You know my name in this crowded place? Do I know You're not ashamed of my life's disgraces? Do You wash my sins away so I don't wear stains? It concerns me. Staring at this sea of people - I hear them calling. Each one seeking self-perfection - I see them falling. Did You really heal the dying man? Did You really save his soul? Could this God wash one like me? Everybody wants to know. It concerns me. Do I know You know my name in this crowded place? Do I know You're not ashamed of my life's disgraces? Do You wash my sins away so I don't wear stains? It concerns me. I might as well be nameless the times I feel so small. But all the love You sent is evidence. You see me standing tall. It concerns me. Do I know You know my name in this crowded place? Do I know You're not ashamed of my life's disgraces? Do You wash my sins away so I don't wear stains? It concerns me. And I know You know my name in this crowded place. And I know You're not ashamed of my life's disgraces. You wash my sins away so I don't wear stains. |

Grand ocean reaching boundlessly into the skyline where the waters end, the shores run free - A perfect design made for me to tend. Sad You needed Your own Son to send when my footprints are always left behind and the path forever meets the day I think I'm needing a tidal wave. An old intriguing wooden pier running into the sea, a stretch of shoreline smooth and clear separating the pier and me. Step forward slightly careful so my marks won't taint the sand. But from the pier I turn to see a broken path that leads to where I stand. Dark impressions and You weep takes a heavy heel to sink so deep. When my footprints are always left behind and the path forever meets the day I think I'm needing a tidal wave. What could ever clean the path I left behind if the water sweeps my prints away? I think I'm needing a tidal wave. A garden made for me to tend I fail so You had to send Your one and only gracious Son, coming like a tidal wave rinsing all I have done. When my footprints are always left behind and the path forever meets the day I think I'm needing a tidal wave. What could ever clean the path I left behind if the water sweeps my prints away? I think I'm needing a tidal wave. |

I can see the slender arms of trees stir color in their leaves through my window. I can hear early morning childish birds beckon without words through my window. But for me to touch with my own hand takes a speck of time or sand. But my window, but my window… To stand up to a furnace, to hurl a tiny stone, to step out on the water not to drown, no pioneer has planted foot upon new ground sitting down. Faint cry from across the tracks around the corner through my window. I can hear the yearning of the hungry that I can't feed through my window, through my window. To stand up to a furnace, to hurl a tiny stone, to step out on the water not to drown, no pioneer has planted foot upon new ground sitting down.(2x) I can sit. I can gaze through my window and still sing praise but You want me on my feet. Perseverance can complete what my faith tells me I know I can't reach it through my window. To stand up to a furnace, to hurl a tiny stone, to step out on the water not to drown, no pioneer has planted foot upon new ground sitting down. (2x) |

The only sky he ever knew was in his head. Blue didn't make much sense and clouds formed like they said. And so the question was "Who cursed this man?" Trapped inside himself in his dark land as long as daylight shines the working must be done. Warm sun and winds are singing. Sandals sound a man approaching. A gentle voice rings out and then He touches my face. Jesus healed my blindness, lifted up the veil and His light poured on my face. Jesus healed my blindness with His Love. I am alive in His grace. The ship was filling fast and soon would leave the port. They thought they lived the life and refused to climb aboard. And so the mighty craft set sail, left behind were those with blinding veils. You say that you can see then why does guilt remain? Warm sun and winds are singing. Sandals sound a man approaching. A gentle voice rings out and then He touches my face. Jesus healed my blindness, lifted up the veil and His light poured on my face. Jesus healed my blindness with His Love. I am alive in His grace. Forgive my human ways all the times I'm off my knees. I'm just walking backwards faster and faster seeking blindly for my peace. Jesus healed my blindness, lifted up the veil and His light poured on my face. Jesus healed my blindness with His Love. I am alive in His grace. (2x) |

I wanted to live like You. I wanted to follow. Follow like the beggars walking at Your heels on the road. But still I slipped between all the cracks the world can form. Without Your watching there's a pit you fall below. And I fell below but You... You offered out Your hand to me and I grabbed ahold to see the darkness of the hole I found was nothing like Your light and I'm free. When I close my eyes I fall. Life so fragile - not Your Love at all Like the water in the sea Your Love's inside my soul, now I'm free. The rays were beating down when suddenly the storm clouds covered up the sky and rang the fisherman's alarm. But He was silent sleeping tucked in the corner when they woke Him up He saw their fear and the wind and waves went calm. Like You made me calm when… You offered out Your hand to me and I grabbed ahold to see the darkness of the hole I found was nothing like Your light and I'm free. When I close my eyes I fall. Life so fragile - not Your Love at all Like the water in the sea Your Love's inside my soul, now I'm free. Instrumental Bridge You offered out Your hand to me and I grabbed ahold to see the darkness of the hole I found was nothing like Your light and I'm free. When I close my eyes I fall. Life so fragile - not Your Love at all Like the water in the sea Your Love's inside my soul, now I'm free. |

Her golden treasures radiate from skies above. Vast flowing colors form a symbol of Your Love. Oh no she can't touch You. Oh no she can't see You. But Your splendor's all around her. She says... I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset as You descend my shadow dies. Yellow fades in red horizons. I don't need to see You. You're in the sunset. She comes at dusk when the water's always clearer so she can see that perfect image glowing off an endless mirror. Oh no she can't touch You. Oh no she can't see You but Your splendor's all around her. She says... I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset as You descend my shadow dies. Yellow fades in red horizons. I don't need to see You. You're in the sunset. I cast my doubts far away from such a hand that paints these inspirations so my mind can understand. Now I say... I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset as You descend my shadow dies. Yellow fades in red horizons. I don't need to see You. You're in the sunset. |

In my mind dreams grow wild. I catch the breeze it sends my feet to fly. And on I go in my own world of glory just like I'm living in a fairy story. But in the end I'm only chasing after the wind. What could I acquire to make my heart delight in what it finds? Nothing I desire can bring me joy like You. The wind leads on dancing through the trees tripping over meadow brooks, rustling the leaves. And so I follow intent to taste the bliss, to relish in the feast or awaken to a lover's kiss. But in the end I'm only chasing after the wind. What could I acquire to make my heart delight in what it finds? Nothing I desire can bring me joy like You. (2x) |
