Child-like
01:41
|
|||
|
Oh child, running in the light so free
No time to rack his mind, enjoying glee
Might be blind but he don't mind at all
He's got his sight on the light, he'll never fall
Felt like an Eden paradise
I knew the heart of God and he knew mine
Slowly the sky turned cloudy grey
I'd never seen a thing but sunny days
He thought he loved the source of life
The world convinced him he was blind
Foolish child have you thought twice about
the basis of your life?

Where Are You?
02:00
|
|||
|
I often wish I could still feel you
But most of the time I dream I could heal you
Of your bipolarity and crooked ways
Inconsistent mind and moody days
My God, my God, how dare you?!
Did you think I could stand in your absence?
Did you think I was strong or that I was wise?
Did I ever really belong or was I just waiting for my demise?
I need to be a part of something bigger than myself
But if I'm part of a larger lie I need to put you on the shelf
What happened to love, God? What happened to grace?
Have I lost you forever God? I have lost sight of your face.
How can you be all-powerful and truly loving
While you let souls in hell endure conscious suffering?
I don't care if it's a choice, I believed that you loved us
I thought that your powerful voice gave life to what was dust
I thought that we mattered, God
I thought our hearts were so precious
How can you scatter life away from your presence?
Not to mention the deaths that your book says you ordered
How can you kill and expect us to move toward you?
Are we alone in the universe?
Just birth to the funeral hearse?
Why are you silent?
I'm screaming as loud as I can!
At one time you were vibrant
Was that all made up in my head?
Where are you God?!
Where are you God?!
Where are you?!

Woven
03:05
|
|||
|
I was full but of late I'm hollow
Joyful soul reduced to sorrow
Beauty that once took my breath away
Now takes me to a cold, dark place
Where are you God?
Where are you Love?
Your love was woven in my heart
You had me, I've had you from the start
|
||||
5. |
Forever
03:35
|
|||
|
You have my heart forever
You have my heart forever
God of love, let us be together
You have my heart forever
Gracious, righteous and compassionate
Show us the goodness of your Holy Spirit
Jesus, we fall at your feet so broken
Save us, Mother to the lonely orphan
|

Lost
03:41
|
|||
|
I remember when I could hear your voice
I remember when there was no need for choice
When our hearts were beating soft and slow
I remember when it wasn't hard to know
Lovely, you were lovely
Are you still lovely, my Lord?
Worthy, am I worthy?
Could I be worthy, oh my Soul?
Of reaching out
Of knowing you again
Of love from your heart
A love set in motion from the start
Are you a good God? Are you far off God?
Are you a part of this now?
Are you with us in our brokenness?
Do you love us still God?
Your Spirit; we need your spirit
Flowing through our veins
Your Spirit; we need your spirit
Flowing through our veins

Prodigal
03:09
|
|||
|
Prodigal son, left his first love
So prone to run, to silence the dove
He'll wander on, filling his cup
He'll see it's all gone, all he loves dries up
Oh, he'll try to stay full but oh, try as he might
Lonely emptiness starts to eclipse all the light
And his soul is so lonely, an orphan unwanted, his
Mind will betray him old ghosts start to haunt him
I know that your crying, God, I know that you care cause you
Knitted him together and you counted each hair
And just when he thinks that he'll die and die alone cause there's
No God in Heaven that he could ever know
That's when you take his hand
You hold him close and
You show him
The love that's been there from the start

Castaway
04:43
|
|||
|
Lonely heart's a castaway
Lost alone at sea
Fear and darkness, crashing waves
Please just shine on me
All was well when I set sail
Thought I'd find something
All I've found are stormy gales
No reasons to sing
Don't think I will last too long
There's no life in me
Raft is battered full of holes
I have grown so weak
I can see the ocean floor
Sunken ships rotting
When I look up I see the shore
Has it been so near to me?
Rescue's always in your embrace
Lost my own way in my blind chase
Feet have feeling
Legs are healing
My heart beats once more
I start swimming
I can't stop grinning
I'm nearly to the shore
Dirt in these hands
Tears hit the sand
Slowly, I look up!
Walking slowly
Reaching towards me
I see my first love!

Human/Divine
07:50
|
|||
|
Our eyes have been deceived
Sin had run too deep
Insecurities
Have you lost me?
Souls that once were free
Veiled memory
Repressed by guilt and grief
But you see me
You breathed life into my very soul
All that you create is beautiful
Lift the veil, open our eyes
To see that we are human and divine
I'm trying to believe
There's something good in me
Creator of all things
You made me
You breathe life into my very soul
All that you create is beautiful
Lift the veil, open our eyes
To see that we are human and divine
We are one in love and spirit
Your breath fills my lungs
You breathe life into my very soul
All that you create is beautiful

Mystery
05:02
|
|||
|
Colors, lights, sunset, sunrise
Human hearts and human minds
We're steeped, steeped in mystery!
Flowers bloom, the rivers run
Ever growing never done
Be free in the mystery!
Bodies complex, wondrous
Holy genes passed down to us
We're one with the mystery!
Souls in cosmos, all conscious
A God who let Beloved Dust live free
What a mystery!
Righteous Father, Loving Mother
Minds won't understand
God of love, oh God of wonder
It's all in your hands
God in man, incarnation
Holy Spirit, Father, Son are one
With the mystery!
Saint and sinner all in one
Light and darkness, hate and love in me
I'm a mystery!
Righteous Father, Loving Mother
Minds won't understand
God of love, oh God of wonder
It's all in your hands

Find Our Way Home
05:58
|
|||
|
You'll wear the biggest smile that happiness can buy and so will I
You'll be sight for tired, sleepless eyes and I might cry
Cause I've never been as happy as this before
And I'll have flowers in my hair
And for once I'll know exactly what to wear
And we'll walk together side by side, the happiest kids to find our way home tonight
You'll spin me round then hold me to your heart that beats with mine, full of life
We'll dance until our souls begin to fly into the sky
Cause we've never been as happy as this before
And they'll throw flowers in the air
As they smile and say what a lovely pair
And we'll walk together side by side, the happiest kids to find our way home tonight
I'll be washed within your holy light, beautifully adorned with such delight
No blemishes or scars within your sight, just clothed in white
And we've never been as happy as this before
And there'll be flowers everywhere
And you'll know my heart cause it's completely bare
And we'll together side by side, the happiest kids to find our way home tonight
We are one in Spirit in the Light
Your breath fills my lungs I am alive
