- Track Name: Falling Backwards
-
why must I think we'll negotiate
why must I think that you hold my fate
dangling
by a string
worn and frayed
I used to think it was all mapped out
while I stayed the course you rethought the route
and I lost you good
tried to sort it out
alone
but now you're here
an old lost love re-found
when you found me
my better days rewound
I need your love more
than I need to know your ways
so if I could I would fall backwards
before the day that the war was launched
I think there was a time of unbroken trust
before I learned to protect myself
I think there was a time I was something else
who would never trade
a life that's beautiful
for one that's safer
but now you're here
an old lost love re-found
when you found me
my better days rewound
I need your love more
than I need my hiding place
so if I could I would fall backwards - Track Name: Love Don't Leave Me Alone
-
Clap your hands, raise up your voices
Beat your drums, get out your guitars
We love the Lord, He loved us first
So stomp on the floor and rattle the earth
Love don't leave me alone (love don't leave me alone)
He opened his mouth, out came the heavens
And the moon and the stars that go on forever
He opened his hand, out came the earth
Rain for the rivers and food from the dirt
Our road has been long, our minds full of worry
But he won't forget no one who hopes in his mercy - Track Name: Mud Song
-
isn't it just like you to invite me into a warm house
isn't it just like you to stroke my hair as I fall asleep
Father you made me yours
Found my orphan heart and brought it home
and I'm safe here and I sing
isn't it just like you to make a slave into your daughter
isn't it just like you to make wine out of dirty water
I used to live in chains
my wounds bled to the ground
my bed was out in the rain
my hair in knots and soaked in mud
but you took my hand
and you led me in
and you combed my hair
you kissed my skin
and you gave me food
and you made me yours
you made me yours
you made me yours - Track Name: Whisper Your Love
-
when I'm small
when I'm helpless
when I'm scared to leave the place where I hide
when my head is loud
but full of nothing
o how I need the sound of your voice
everytime I cry
help me remember
your love is so great you lift up my heavy heart
you break off the ropes that burn my skin
your love is so great you set me in open fields
you whisper your love, you whisper your love
when I'm small
when I'm helpless
when I've believed all the lies I've been told
when I'm tangled up in lesser loves
o how I need the strength of your touch - Track Name: Too Proud
-
I’m too proud to ask
too broke to eat
too weak to bow
too strong to bleed
can you sing over me…words of comfort
can you satisfy me…sweet honey
can break through me...with your strong hand
can you undo me…enough to heal me
you take the weight from my shoulders
my hands were clenched
now they’re open
I’ll take your goodness poured from the sky
food from the ravens
water from the dry well - Track Name: Alleluia The Lord Is Good
-
he pulls the heavens into place
from beam to beam sets it straight
puts the earth on its foundation
the sea fills up by his voice
the wind it blows by his choice
the thunder slows with his heartbeat
it all pours out when he opens his hand
turn your eyes and wait
hallelujah, hallelujah
o the Lord is good
hallelujah, hallelujah
o the Lord is good
he sends the rain to the trees
the birds they rest among the leaves
the ground sprouts with our working
and when his spirit comes on down
we are so full we could drown
in the ocean of his plenty - Track Name: Be Thou My Vision
-
be thou my vision o Lord of my heart
naught be all else to me save that thou art
thou my best thought by day or by night
waking or sleeping thy presence my light
be thou my wisdom and thou my true word
I ever with thee and thou with me Lord
thou my great Father and i thy true son
thou in me dwelling and I with thee one
be thou my breastplate my sword for the fight
be thou my armor and be though my might
thou my sole shelter and thy my high tower
raise thou me heavenward o Power of my Power
riches I need not nor man’s empty praise
thou mine inheritance now and always
thou and thou only first in my heart
High King of Heaven my treasure thou art
High King of Heaven my victory won
may I reach heaven’s joys bright heaven’s sun
heart of my own heart whatever befall
still be my vision o Ruler of All - Track Name: Too Wonderful
-
I can barely breathe in this goodness
I can barely walk in this bright of light
I can barely see through this beauty
it's too much for my eyes
it's too wonderful
it's too wonderful
too wonderful are your thoughts for me
when I feel dark it isn't dark
my night is not night
I am wrapped up in your love
I cannot escape from your presence
even to the far side of the sea
your eyes saw my unformed body
and knew my days before one came to be - Track Name: Let Glory Fall
-
well the burning sun
like a desperate soul
blazes morning
into the weary cold
then the clouds move in
when the winds arise
and shake with thunder
like my broken life
with creation I sing to the eternal one
whose stars are shining in my eyes
there's no place to hide
the aching of my heart at all
let glory fall on me
let it flow
let it consume me
let glory fall on me
until i'm gone
and you flow through me
well the spotlight moon
on the quaker leaves
and their trembling dance
on the evening breeze
and the river sings
when a new day starts
and the air is young
like my healing heart - Track Name: Reckless
-
his heavy footsteps shake the earth
when he comes to break the evil curse
o the mountains crumble at his word
when he comes to rescue me
o his love is reckless
too wild to hold down
too deep to find the bottom
his love, his love, his love
like lightning he lets arrows fly
and exposes both the sea and sky
to the fire raging in his voice
when he says he delights in me
I will not fear what may come
I will not live by what I've done
cause I know he's got the victory
and on his love my hopes are hung - Track Name: Speak To Me
-
these are vulnerable times
the tears are always in my eyes
I'm more delicate than i like
I'm so easily torn apart
and i'm scared to ask knowing who you are
why love me Lord
why look for me so hard
will you speak to me of beauty
will you speak to me of love
will you sing to me like honey
and let my lips taste that you're good
it's true you've stolen my heart
but I've lost your footsteps in the dark
are you close to me
could you be right outside my window - Track Name: Midnight
-
midnight
my winter twigs and branches
naked and white
reaching and clutching
in cold moonlight
it's only a reflection
of a sun I cannot feel
so i'm praying for a dawn
so i'm praying for a dawn
come
like the sun
I'm midnight
you're the first light - Track Name: You My Love
-
I cry out to
you for help
covered up in
my self-doubt
my eyes are tired but cannot close
and i wonder if you've left me alone
then I hear you sing, you sing, you sing
I will hold on to you when I've lost my way
I will hold on to you when I'm stuck in my shame
all of the earth shakes
the thunder breaks
to feel your touch
but your kingdom is inside me
oh how I delight in
you, my love
the bread I eat
don't satisfy
water I drink
leaves me dry
I have no hurt you don't know
or won't make into blessing, turning crimson into snow
and I hear you sing, you sing, you sing
