Track Name: All That I Know
all that i know
is love has come around
like the grass under the golden sun
pushes through the ground
all i know is love has come around
all that i know
is peace has come around
like the rain beneath the silver moon
glistens to the ground
all i know is peace has come around

i will kiss the days behind me now
and thank you for the beauty that i never saw
i will say goodbye to what is gone
welcome what i know has been here all along
been here all along

i finally see tonight
the bluing of the sky
i run into the arms that have been open all the time
open all the time
Track Name: If You Need Air
summer evening her face aglow
in a photo neatly placed on the mirror’s edge below
she thinks of that and how she knows
if you wanna feel the sun you gotta get outside the door

if you need air
morning’s shining now if only in my eyes
we’ll drink the sun like wine
if you wanna talk i’ve got lots of time
and if you need space
i could give you some of mine

she applies mascara to her tired eyes
admits into the mirror just looking good ain’t no life
she keeps herself so safe inside
but if you wanna feel the rain you gotta get under the sky

she’s the beauty in a concrete scene
all her freedom is hidden in her dreams
all her dreams are hidden in the night
where they won’t fly

when you’ve got high rises in your eyes
exhaust in your lungs
my soul’s the wind so come on and open the window some
let in the rain and i will bring the sun
and if you breath like me i won’t be the only one
Track Name: Burning Out
i heard the bells chime through the misty streets of london
i saw you walking all alone, cold and alone
you feel the stones beneath you; their hardness grieves you
unlike your cold heart’s cobblestone, your cobblestone

and the ghosts they find you hurting
and the ghosts they find you yearning
and the ghosts they find your candle burning out

your coat’s pulled tight against the wind but the voices still get in
down some dark passage without a soul, without a soul
there is no light here to greet you; only darkness feeds you
the echoes of the chains you’ve forged, the chains you’ve forged

i thought i heard you awakening from your desperate slumber
i thought i heard breaking chains
Track Name: Lonesome Wind/Goodbye Melvina
well the rivers run clear and the storm has gone away
and the day is just the kind that you would long for
when it all comes closing in and the fire is on the wind
so why should a man feel so done for?

there are one too many comforts and two too many loves
three too many ways to lose the reasons
that everything was good before desire became should
and summer was the winteriest season

the high lonesome wind is blowing through my soul again
and there ain’t no way to keep myself from listening
when you speak to my soul of some direction i don’t know
it is the high lonesome wind that keeps my living

well i don’t know what is worse, a blessing or a curse
and you will always whisper in the silence
you leave me no relief when you plunder shallow peace
no refuge from the beautiful thunder
Track Name: Fallen Angel
his eyes betrayed it
when i looked into them there was nothing left
but a man broken
cracked and stained
another line to numb his pain
will it numb his pain?

looking back
talking like the angels he had it all
but that high was second only to his fall
where were you when he tumbled down?

fallen angel
will i ever see him fly again?

seems like now there’s nothing i can do to show you how
how much it hurts to watch you dying now
how much i cry for you

would you ever leave a man
watch him drown in his ruin
god, is there any sense in this
and if you’re there what are you doing?
Track Name: O The Deep Deep Love
o the deep deep love of jesus
vast unmeasured boundless free
rolling as a mighty ocean
in its fullness over me

underneath me, all around me
is the current of thy love
leading onward, leading homeward
to thy glorious rest above

o the deep deep love of jesus
spread his praise from shore to shore
how he loveth, ever loveth
changeth never, nevermore

how he watches over his loved ones
died to call them all his own
and how for them he intercedeth
watcheth over them from the throne

o the deep deep love of jesus
love of every love the best
‘tis an ocean full of blessing
‘tis a haven giving rest

o the deep deep love of jesus
‘tis a heaven of heavens to me
and it lifts me up to glory
for it lifts me up to thee
Track Name: Arrow
in the darkness of the morning
i walk that path alone
in the silence with orion
pointing his arrow at me

when you left me
i watched your taillights fade into night
and i stood there surrounded by my sorrow
tracing that arrow in me
how did this arrow find me?

i will walk, even if i have to walk alone
i will love, even though my chance to love is gone

and sometimes while walking
when the loss gets just too hard to hold alone
sweep over me i plead to the silence
and the mountains surround me
and their beauty makes me cry
Track Name: I Will Arise And Go To Jesus/The Musical Priest
come ye sinners poor and needy
weak and wounded sick and sore
jesus ready stands to save you
full of pity love and power

come ye thirsty, come and welcome
god’s free bounty glorify
true belief and true repentance
every grace that brings you nigh

come ye weary heavy-laden
lost and ruined by the fall
if you tarry ’til you’re better
you will never come at all

i will arise and go to jesus
he will embrace me in his arms
in the arms of my dear savior
o there are ten thousand charms
Track Name: Come Home To Me (Song For Laurie)
o the air is full of singing
the fields are full of fruit
with a sound that is not a name
the leaves are falling too

their song so high it can’t be played
i know i don’t have to say
but look around you—it’s a golden day.

when we stand under fields of stars
i wonder who gave me to you
and when i look into your eyes
creation becomes new

when winter’s on the wind and life is underground
like an old evergreen i’m gonna be around
cause we’re a heavenly mystery on the ground

when the snow becomes our blanket
i’ll warm you with a fire that is more than flame
i’m gonna hold your heart
we are gonna be so free
baby when you come home you can come home to me

o the world is full of ways to walk
forest, field, and compass course
i have seen us out there side by side
and we have waited to go forth

when golden turns to winter’s white
when evening falls into deepest night
when my hair’s gone and yours is white
Track Name: As Long As It Takes
I built a fire while you lay asleep
tangled and restless in a mess of sheets
You feel betrayed, left behind
by all you’ve worked for and all that you trust

But I love you and I will stay as long as it takes

There’s nothing peaceful about the sadness you keep
wearing your bleeding heart on your sleeve
There’s nothing left for me to give
except for some silence

I built a fire while you lay asleep
I watched the ashes rise
Track Name: Santa Teresa
if teresa could see
the full moon falling through the clouds
the thunder roaring waves collapse
and rush to bow at my feet

if she could hear the sound
of starlight spilling on the shore
but how could she love the night
with the darkness in her soul

you don’t close your eyes to pray
when it’s dark during your days
you wait for a way to believe
would there consolation be
if the very sun fell on me
in a beautiful place called santa teresa

in a place they called liseuix
she felt nothing but alone
no horizon, no green sea
no light of day, no sign of me

a candle in the window burns
the story of a soul like hers
she was shining like the sun
never seeing dawn come

when it comes your time, they say
death comes like a thief to take it all away
leave you cold and alone in the night
one last time
but i don’t think i
can believe that tonight
Track Name: Spirit of Heaven
come now, fill this place

cover me with your grace

spirit of god
spirit of heaven

you release me
you redeem me
you restore my soul
you have bought me
you have brought me into you

come now
