My Trials To Your Agonies They Do Not CompareThey felt your wounds they saw your scars
Still faithless eyes plagued their minds
You’ve kept Your word as I’ve ruined mine
I’m finding out
I watched the world die resting in flames
And though I still try God you beckon me
This beast tears at my throat over and over again
Amnesty“Doctor! Doctor! Check all the vitals
This tragedy struck is done and it's final
Don't you, don't you know it's been said?
You can be alive while already dead”
Once laid in darkness with no plan devised
The slightest glimpse of light would burn my eyes
AsleepEyes wide in this reverie but it's all still dark as night
I'm falling fast asleep
Black tides of my misery coming down upon my sight
I drown into the deep
Is there but a ghost inside these bones?
Come now My darling! Come now beloved, My love it calls you!
AwakenWho's shut the mouths of beasts and with the sound of His voice it renders peace?
Who's drowned the earth with rain and made a promise to man to never do the same?
Who's crushed the walls of stone by the use of the sound of the trumpets blown?
Who appoints the kings to throne? The one true King!
Who's quenched a violent fire? Raised and destroyed empires?
Oh how you manifest your grace and power my great King
You're my great King!
Dead ManDead Man
I was once a dead man
A stranger with no home
HeraldsCheck my pulse, am I still breathing?
Will You grasp my wrist and hold it dear to You heart?
To see if I am beating for You and only You my Father
In Your WakeA selfish man, a wretch I do stand, just as you we are the same
But how is it that justice follows in Your wake and grace remains?
And grace remains? Your grace remains! Still grace remains!
This is justice for my wickedness with your Son descending
Onto this world bearing our sin
We're helpless in need of Your grace
This freedom is not in our hands
Man of SorrowsBlistered feet, bloodied alone
Walked the streets a man unknown
Battered face as He adorns
A mocker's robe, a crown of thorns
A tree designed for His demise
Cursed, maligned by guilty cries
The nails and hammer they did meet
Two in the hands, one in the feet
Morning StarI can see the end in sight as we pacify our itching ears
Quickly we are trending light and absolving self of all eternal fears
Until our conscious clears
Hear this voice engage the fight as I pound my chest still knowing my end nears
Still knowing my end nears
The sun is burning out and your rule is left, your rule is left in doubt
We'll sing, and scream, and shout “For You have won, You have won the bout!”
my ransomed soulBuried in the heart of the earth
(Blood was shed for)
There for three days bearing my shame
(A world of men)
This man of sorrows despised for His love
The blood at Calvary ransomed now oh my soul
I deserve the cross I deserve a death for I am fallen
No RivalFight the good fight, (the) attempt for the brave
This trek for the lost has brought more than a grave
Bathed in the fire for you hope water's pure
The flames will grow higher it's taste is your cure
I do not fear the world's fire for it (only) burns for a moment
And though it sears my skin I rest for it shall relent
With the world at your feet and the fire on your back
Oh, The DepthsOh the depths of riches, like the water that fills the earth
The knowledge of my Creator who gives me worth
And though I crave to know all of the patterns of this world
Is endless for it's beyond tracing out
So from as far as I've seen there is a great hoard against me
Because I am a man sights see targets on my back
For all our hearts are not clean and the archers fire freely
Planning a Prison BreakWarden's calling for a lock down baby, he'll call on interim inequities
This is the last night in my body: assist in the escape
Warden's calling ON a jailbreak baby, he'll fly like only a jailbird could, he'll fly like only a jailbird could
Like a felon, he fell into scandals, scams and masterplans
To circumvent all circumstances
He thought to his throat, "we can swallow this key
And leave when we please"
Pulled from the DeepOceans come to pass on the wreckage of all my drowning vessels
Still these waters swallow and torment all the men that face their swells
In this sea of treachery my heart holds fast to this vessel
As the waves pass over me I feel this ship tremble
Breaking and burning and shifting and turning
I feel this ship fail beneath my feet
Somebody save me!
SafeguardsThese eyes have seen the joys yet suffered
Mind and body
Though still I'll sing
"How Great Thou Art"
Calm my heart
And give me
Still peace
SlavesI saw these chains locked on my wrists
Around my neck no shackles missed
I'd tried to shake them off and flee
Nowhere to go without a key
Awoke my eyes drew the first breath
New to the world but not to death
This plan devised in secrecy
Step Out to the WaterStep out to the water and you'll see what I believe
Come out to the water and you'll see of whom I sing
For the seas are raging and the ocean grows
I see your arms are flailing as your panic shows
Look beyond the waves to the One who saves
Still this storm is waging with its fiercest blows
For your knees are shaking at your darkest woes
The Bird and the Snake
The morning is coming with a hunger to feed.
I'll do what I've got to get the taste that I need.
Minute by minute and hour by hour.
I'll feed this pit with what I find and all I can scour.
Give me a feather and I'll trade you my friend.
It's just a single feather dear, it won't be the end.
The HarvestThe valley is wide and the canyons are deep
For a harvest is ready of that which to reap
Many before grabbed a sickle to shear
But their days have past and your time is near
So listen to me
and heed my words see
The world will tell you
that we are foolish
The KingI saw heaven standing open there
And there before was the One who is faithful and true
Born this day the Christ of our age
His life bringing death to sin
Death to sin
This war on sin and death
Through the NightI've seen the road and it's snares
I bore the load though it wears
I've heard your curses and taunts and yet it won't stop me
I've heard your curses and slights and still it won't stop me
Slept through the coldest of nights
From ever calling You “king”
Or hide the Gospel we bring
It's burning bright in my eyes
Tonight My Son, Be Still And SleepTonight my son, be still and sleep while storms are crashing
On this deep we drop the anchor with the hope
This vessel holds us still
Oh Great Captain, You navigate the storm
My son be still and sleep while storms are crashing
Oh Great Captain, You navigate the storm
An angry water surges the waves have taken its toll
VaporsI'll walk Your path for You write my story
And I'll count the days till I see Your glory
You will clothe us in spotless white
I'll sing to Your glories, what a beautiful sight
A host of saints and all the angels
With no constraints and nothing painful
We'll sing these songs and You will listen
In the Book of Life our names are written
Wake UpWake up! Wake up!
The wolves are biting.
The wolves are clawing and snatching up the sheep.
For if we speak without the truth upon our lips,
We're giving in and we’re falling fast asleep.
Creating more prodigals.
War in the Time of PeaceMarching alone where I don't belong
Tapping along in the dark before the dawn
Nothing is wrong, you're here
Abandon the sound of the captain's call
Grabbing my gear as I jump the wall before, before nightfall is here
I've crossed the line of the great divide
I heard your orders
We Are The OnesI consider my life worth nothing to me if only I may finish the race
and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me. The task of testifying
to the Gospel of God's grace. Now I know that none of you whom I have gone
about preaching the Kingdom will ever see me again. Therefore I declare
to you that I am innocent of the blood of all men for I have not hesistated
to proclaim the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the
flock to which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of
the church, of God, which He bought with His own blood. I know that when
