Walking Away From Eden
04:38
|
|||
|
The way has been prepared for him,
The axe is laid at the root of the tree.
He's clearing out his threshing floor,
And gathering up all those that believe.
I was born walking away from Eden.
The year of Jubilee has arrived,
And all your debts have been removed.
Come sinners and liars and beggars and thieves,
You prostitutes, he's come for you.
The well in your midst have no need to be healed,
It's the sick in your streets that are in need of his grace,
You righteous will turn up your nose at his words,
But you broken will bow as you weep to his face.
He makes lepers clean and the paralyzed walk,
He professes himself as the one son of man,
So the Pharisees call him to court by the law,
And they crown him with thorns and drive nails in his hands.
This is a radical, heart breaking, pain staking kind of love.
This is a life changing, rule breaking, die on a cross kind of love.

Your Love Is A Mountain
05:14
|
|||
|
You chose us as children,
You called us by name,
You gave up your life,
And set us a place
We are your body and you are the head,
Praise to our savior who rose from the dead
Your love is a mountain,
Your grace is abounding,
Jesus we proclaim your name
You brought us from darkness,
Lavished us in grace,
By blood we were rescued,
Our sins were erased,
First born of creation,
the image of God,
Your father was pleased,
Made peace through your blood

Be Not Quiet
04:08
|
|||
|
Be not quiet, be not still,
Let me drink until I’ve had my fill.
I love your timing, love your grace,
I only pray that I can know your face.
I was there when you took the fall,
I gave you hell and you took it all.
You felt the pain as my sin was poured,
and you raised your head as you cried to the Lord.
Lord, I was the one, who’s selfish life went and killed your son.
Lord, I was the one that walked away.
Be not quiet, be not still,
Take my life and do your will.
Give me the time Lord, give me the grace,
I was the worst and you took my place.
Lord, I’m not the one, who’s worth the blood that was shed by your son,
Lord, you’re not the one that deserved to die and give up your son.

Rejoice
05:32
|
|||
|
Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give Thanks
May God sanctify you and make your spirit blameless in Christ.
I have no words to say to praise your holy name, rejoice.
I have no ways to pay for the selfless life you gave, rejoice.
Rejoice, rejoice. Praise your holy name, rejoice.

I have lived my life immersed in pain and fear,
I trusted myself and worshipped what I held dear,
I was born an indentured slave to my own hand,
‘til God redeemed me by the blood of his own lamb,
Even after redemption I often turned away,
I yearned for the past and cursed him for my pain,
Yet still the Lord received and loved me as a son,
The victor over death was crowned and the final race was won,
He is the God that freed me from my bonds,
He is the God that led me through the desert,
He is the God that brought me to the promised land,
He is the God that redeemed me in my unbelief.
He has set me apart and set a place at his table for me,
He has redeemed me of my sin and set my body free,
Praise to my God, praise to my father, praise to my leader, my sword,
Praise to my God, praise to my father, praise to my leader, my Lord.

Psalm 43
05:18
|
|||
|
Vindicate me, O God.
And defend my cause O my God.
Against an ungodly people.
From the deceitful and unjust.
For you are the God in whom I take refuge.
O God, O God, O my God.
Why have you rejected me?
Why do I go about mourning?
Send out your light and your truth,
Let them lead me, O my God,
Let them bring me to your holy hill,
and to your dwelling, O my God.
Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre.
O God, O God, O my God.
Why are you cast down O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.

Spirit Fire
05:16
|
|||
|
Before first dawn upon the earth,
Before the turn of ancient stars,
you counted us of priceless worth,
Your righteousness becoming ours.
Your will was kept behind a stone,
His blood, it seemed, was all for naught,
‘Till Christ emerged, in glory known,
Our hearts alive in mercy wrought.
Seal us in your spirit’s fire, Let not this holy mark expire,
‘Till Christ shall reign, our all in all, and full in grace redeem the fall.
In realms beyond, on earth below, bring swift the morn, redeeming glow,
‘Till Christ shall reign, the king of kings, Creation, one, shall of him sing.
We are the raised, adopted ones, in glory held in mighty hands,
Fallen, once, becoming sons, heirs beside the Son of Man.
When comes the depths of eventide, with sorrows that like fountains flow,
Call us to hope, let us abide, in pristine grace that you bestow.
Seal us by your cleansing flame, upon our hearts inscribe your name,
Seal us, Lord, though storms may rage.

It Is Well
04:11
|
|||
|
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows, like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well, with my soul."
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
My sin, O the bliss of this glorious tho't,
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
O, Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend,
"Even so" it is well with my soul.

I'm Yours
03:42
|
|||
|
Every step I take on my own
is walking into the darkest night alone.
But when I look upon your face,
everything changes, everything's grace and I'm home.
I pray with the help of these minor chords,
Lord take my soul and change my life, I'm yours.
The road is long and the climb is hard,
and there's twists and turns and dams and fords but I'm yours.
I'm yours, Lord I'm yours.
I've felt the pain of a life gone astray,
I've felt the grace of a life that is saved,
It's sweetest touch is on my breath.
I pray you'll watch my back through these days,
As I slowly try to find my way,
and bless your name..
The sky itself attests to your grace,
as I bathe myself in abounding love from above.
The sun it shines as tears fill my eyes,
It's warmth pours down right out of the sky, I'm yours.
