You gave Your life for me
You gave Your very life for me
Upon Mt. Calvary
You shed Your precious blood for me
Thank You for loving me
Thank You for choosing me
Help me to love You Lord,
Help me to praise only You

Dodging Calvary

I know you said you’d never turn your back on me
But why is turning my back on you so easy?
Today someone asked me what I thought about You
Why was it so hard for me to tell them the truth?
You gave your life to me
Why can’t I give my life to You?
It is so easy to say I will follow You
It is even easier to not follow through
It’s harder to believe You than it is not to
Lord please forgive me for my selfish attitude
You gave your life to me
Why can’t I give my life to You?
And only You (repeat)
You gave Your life for me
You gave Your very life for me
Upon Mt. Calvary
You shed Your precious blood for me
Thank You for loving me
Thank You for choosing me
Help me to love You Lord,
Help me to praise only You

My Judas Kiss
05:56
|
|||
|
Who else has the words of life
And where else shall I go
My promises number out of sight
Yet unfaithfulness is all I know
Who would have predicted this
Betraying You with a kiss
With my lips I offer praise
It's all hollow anyways
You called me out by name
Rescued from this land
Inside I bear the greatest shame
With a kiss I betrayed the Son of Man
I don't know what is left for me
Or these hallowed words that I sing
When I saw You on that tree
It began the end of everything
Who would have predicted this
Betraying You with a kiss
With my lips I offer praise
It's all hollow anyways
Will things ever be the same?
This was not the plan
I must have been so insane
With a kiss I betrayed the Son of Man
Now I shield my eyes from Your face
Because I made You a casualty
Inside me there's not a trace
Of Your perfect loyalty
Why are you pursuing me
I'll find the end of Your grace
Seems to be my specialty
I know I won the race
Of running from Your Majesty
How could You prepare a place
For the traitor that You see in me
Why don't You save Your royalty
I'm such a helpless case
Yet You won't abandon me
You went and took my blame
I am held within Your hand
You branded me with Your name
With a kiss I embrace the Son of Man

Not My Tomb
04:50
|
|||
|
I need to get out / I wanna go home
I’m sick of this game / It’s hurting my soul
He’s piercing my mind / My world’s caving in
Please hear my cry
This is not my tomb
No matter how far I run, there’s no end in sight
It’s like I’m turning circles, yeah! never ending games played in my mind
No relief for the fear I feel, for the tears I cry
I just can’t find my way out and I’m running out of time
I need to get out…
This is not my tomb
This is not my tomb
Which way do I turn, It seems to take me nowhere
I can feel my soul dying, things just aren’t what they seem
Maybe I’m here for good, I don’t see a way out
This is my grave and I’m think I’m in Hell…
I need to get out… (No “this is my tomb”)
I need to get out… (To bridge immediately after “please hear my cry”)
One foot in front of the other…I take one step at a time
My heart is beating faster and faster…I find myself grasping to an end
I need to get out…
(Instrumental)
I need to get out…
I need to get out…
This is not my tomb
This is not my tomb
This is not my tomb
This is not my tomb

You Know Me Better
05:01
|
|||
|
Sometimes I don’t like what You say to me
Sometimes I don’t like what You want me to hear
Even though You know what’s best for me
It’s not like I have anything to fear
And yet sometimes I act like I don’t need You
Sometimes I pretend that I am just fine
But You know the truth about that too
Because You know this here heart of mine
You know me better than I
You know me better than I
You know me You know me You know me know me know me know me
Better
When will I learn to always trust Your words?
When will I decide to do just what You say?
Instead of pretending that You were not heard
Instead of asking if I can meet You halfway
Cuz You know me better than I
I said You know me better than I

It is time that the seasons bring about their change
It is time to leave the city to make my home on the range
I can’t help but think that what I am thinking takes no thought at all
And it all seems so strange
And it all seems so strange
North flew south for the winter
East passed west in the summer
And there is no new growth to my spring
All that autumn brings is a fall
Leaving me with nothing at all
But I cannot be content with the discontent in me
I need to strive for something more to bring calm to my sea
How much faith is needed for me to walk on water
Call me out and I will stand as best I can
Call me out and I will stand as best I can
North flew south for the winter
East headed west in the summer
Is there growth in me this spring
Will this autumn keep me from a fall
The wind is blowing; I hear the call
I pulled out the owner’s manual for my broken life
And spent hours scouring its pages for all that sounded right
It has driven me to quiet times; the pages a mirror
Reflecting back on me
Reflecting back on me
North flew south for the winter
East met west in the summer
There is a new step to my spring
There is an autumn but not a fall
Bathed in red I can see it all
And it all seems so strange
And I need nothing but You.

Psalm 51
05:23
|
|||
|
My soul is rent with sorrow my head is bowed in shame
as I step now before You and confess I am to blame
How often have I wronged You?
how much will You forgive?
is Your grace really stronger
than the sin in which I live?
I need for Your compassion
to wash me in its flood
I need to be made clean
purify me with Your blood
(purify my with Your blood)
My heart is seeped in darkness
please don't take away Your light
penetrate all the shadows
put the darkness all to flight
I need Your saving mercy please don't let go of me
I need Your grace amazing to break my chains and set me free
Give me a heart that's clean now
rid me of impurities
refine me in Your fire
so that You I can please
Hear me now - don't turn away
take this heart and make it new
save me from that which I am
conform my heart to You
My soul is washed in Your love
so great I cannot take it in
for I have met Your grace that
is greater than all my sin (2x)

Ruined
05:50
|
|||
|
I look into your eyes
Felt the warmth of Your presence
And Your hand on my face
Here I am again
Missing You…wanting You
How long can I go without seeing Your face
How long can I live without hearing Your voice
You captured my heart and kept it with You
So when we’re apart, I’m without my heart too
(I’m without my heart too)
Why this present distance?
I just cannot understand it
Have I wandered from You
Or is it just a part of living
Living in this world
How long can I go without seeing Your face
How long can I live WITHOUT Your sweet embrace (yeah)
You captured my heart and kept it with You
So when we’re apart, I’m without my heart too
I long for Your face
I need to hear Your voice
Your presence is life
And my heart is Yours
There’s no one like You
No one else will do
You have captured this heart now ruined for all but You
(You have captured this heart now ruined for all but You)
You have captured this heart now ruined for all but You
(You have captured this heart now ruined for all but You)
You have captured this heart now ruined….it’s been ruined for all but You

April Fool's Day
05:04
|
|||
|
This is the day
That the reckoning will take place
When we will all be judged by what we believe
Privacy claims and tolerance mantras
Won’t carry any weight any longer
Who is the one
Who says in his heart
That there is no God?
Now is the time
That the verdict will be laid down
When you will question all of your answers
Claims of goodness and unfairness
Are no longer of importance
Who is the one
Who says in his heart
That there is no God?
Are you someone
Who says in their heart
That there is a God.
Make it today
That the light will shine on down
When all things will be made clear and leave no doubt
Creation already claims just what is true
Won’t you see who is calling you
Don’t be the one
Who says in his heart
That there is no God
A fool is the one
Who says in their heart
There is no God
Are you someone
Who says in their heart
That there is a God?
I am someone
Who says in my heart
That He is my God

Lion Tamer
06:32
|
|||
|
Defender of truth
Enemy of the lie
Evil beware
For your foe am I
I stand for the right
And tell wrong to scram -
A lion tamer I am
But some days it's tough
To answerr the call
The lions are big
And I feel so small
What if it's not
What I'm meant to be?
A lion tamer - me?
Taming lions -
What a calling
But maybe not one I should call my own
One against many
I'm surrounded
Standing is hard when you're standing alone
But I can't give up
Truth is worth fighting for
So I won't give in
To this fear anymore
This is my calling
I won't be ashamed
I'm a lion tamer
And the lions must be tamed
I protect the weak
And defend the poor
Those who harm my friends
Are asking for war
Attacking the helpless -
This I defy
A lion tamer am I
But too often power's
A double-edged sword
And I destroy
With the force of a word
I've become that
Which I once fought
A lion tamer I'm not
Taming lions -
What a calling
But maybe not one I should call my own
I'm a fighter
Not a tamer
Peacemaking's a skill I can't seem to hone
But I can't give up
Friends are worth fighting for
I love to fight
But I must love peace more
This is my calling
And it must be claimed
I'm a lion tamer
And the lions must be tamed
Taming lions -
What a calling
But humbled am I to call it my own
It's a struggle
To keep going
It is my call, but I'm still failure-prone
But I can't give up
Good is worth fighting for
And when I fail
I'll just try once more
This is my calling
Let it be proclaimed:
I'm a lion tamer
And the lions must be tamed

Unreachable Sky
06:31
|
|||
|
From the beginning of time
Man has marveled at the sky
And what lays above and beyond
The boundaries of this earth (2x)
Stone by stone
Brick by brick
A tower rose up from the dirt
And climbed up toward the clouds
Rebellious man proclaimed
I have touched the sky
I have touched the sky
And I have risen up
And I have touched the sky
I have risen up to touch God
I am
(Chorus)
We think of ways
We work each day
To reach the unreachable sky (2x)
Star by star
Moon by moon
All eyes are looking upward
At a rocket aimed toward the sky
And in amazement they ask
Who will touch the sky
Who will touch the sky
And will they find the one
And who will touch the sky
Will they find the One
I am…I am
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Intro)
Age by age
Man by man
His love is still upon us
And draws us closer to His heart
And repentant man confesses
I know I am not you
I know I am not you
And I know who you are
You are I am, I am, I am
In the twinkling of an eye
This gravity will be defied
And I will reach
The unreachable sky (repeat ad infinitum)

I Owe It All To You
04:54

Oh Lord, here are my hands
Here are my feet
Here is my all
Show me how to stand
Catch me when I fall
Oh Lord, here are my eyes
Here are my ears
Here is my voice
Teach me how to live
And show me Your joy
Wherever I will go
I will sing Your praise
Wherever You will lead
I will sing of Your ways
Whatever I will say
I will honor You
I owe my life to You
I owe it all to You
Oh Lord, here are my hands
Here are my feet
Here is my all
Show me how to stand
Catch me when I fall
Oh Lord, give me wings
Teach me how to fly
Teach me how to soar
Use me how You will
I am yours

CHORUS 1:
My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?
My God, My God, what about me?
My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?
My God, My God, I'm hanging on a tree
(Instrumental)
REPEAT CHORUS 1
They put two thieves beside Him
They treated Him like one too
He cried, "Father forgive them
For they know not what they do"
CHORUS 2:
He could have called all the angels
To help Him down from the tree
He could have called all the angels
But then He wouldn't have saved you or me
REPEAT CHORUS 1
And then the sky grew black
He tore the veil in two
He rolled away the stone
He did this for me and for you
REPEAT CHORUS 2 2x
...then He wouldn't have saved you or me
No He wouldn't have saved you or me
No He couldn't have saved you or me

Why
04:12
|
|||
|
Why are you so beautiful
hanging from a tree?
Why does the sight of your scars
make my heart beat a little bit faster?
Why does your ragged breathing
take my breath away?
Why do I love you
seeing you this way?
Why is the voice I've never heard
music to my ears?
Why are the eyes I've never seen
the ones I could stare at forever?
Why is the face that's streaked with blood
the one I long to touch?
Why do I love you,
love you so much?
Heart of my heart,
beauty I was made for,
love that's to die for,
you are the one I live for
Why do I wish I'd been there
in Gethsemane?
Why do I want to wipe away
the blood-sweat from your brow?
Why did I cry when you died?
I wasn't there to see
And when you called Mary's name
Why do I wish it had been me?
Heart of my heart,
beauty I was made for,
love that's to die for,
you are the one I live for
Why am I so homesick?
I've never seen your home
Why do I always miss you
when we've never even met?
Why did you want to come here
and steal my heart away?
Why can't I be with you
can't I be with you today?
Why is the name "Jesus"
the only one that stills my heart?
Why do your arms around me
make my fears all fade away?
Why do you have to love me?
you know I'm not that good
And when I say I love you,
why can't I love you as I should?
Heart of my heart,
beauty I was made for,
love that's to die for,
you are the one I live for
Why is the voice that calmed the sea
the one that calls my name?
Why do the eyes that see the world
search me out within?
Why is the face I dare not see
the one I long to touch?
Why do I love you?
I love you so much

Safe In The Night
05:16
|

|
Oh Lord take my hand, and show me the way
When You lead the way, I can never be afraid
Of the dark
Of the dark
Oh Lord here I am, I give to You my life
I need You to be my guiding light
Shine through me
Make me shine
Oh Lord I will not be afraid
If You lead the way
Oh Lord I feel Safe In The Night
As if You held me tight
In Your Arms
Oh Lord cleanse my heart with Your purity
And see if there be any wicked way in me
Search me Oh Lord
Search me
Oh Lord guide my feet, show me where I should be
Keep me from the path of sin and iniquity
I want to be
Holy
Oh Lord….
In Your Arms
(I feel Safe In The Night)

I lift my eyes to the sky
To see all your wonders displayed
Your hand stretched out
The stars on the blanket of space
I lift my prayers to your ears
To know all that your peace fulfills
Your hands stretched out
Your Spirit comforts and stills
Your resplendence has left me speechless
You are my God who is not nameless
Repeat Verse
Repeat Chorus
The earth and moon proclaim your name
The world has been touched
Never to be the same
The rocks and streams declare your name
You touched my life
I’ll never be the same
Your resplendence has left me speechless
You are my God who is not nameless (2x)
You are my God (4x)
Repeat Chorus
