Meet Me in the Morning
01:47
|
|||
|
You meet me in the morning
In the fresh light I can start with you again
When every word was a mystery
Like a daydream that I never want to end
But I'm suspended in twilight
and the dark night is beginning to set in
I haven't glimpsed you for ages
and I'm calling out to know where you have been
You contain it all
but you're here with me now
You meet me in the morning
In the fresh light I can start with you again

Where Have You Been?
03:38
|
|||
|
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
I've been calling
I've been calling
If I cannot trust you to save me from pain
how can you be trusted for anything?
Are you still in the garden where the trees gave us good food?
Will this ache last forever? Will my eyes ever see you?
As this dark night lingers and my feet grow weak
Will your absence answer? Will your silence speak?
Yet your voice comes softly, "Where are you now?"
It resounds within me, and you draw me out
It was I who was far-off;
You were right there beside me
Is it too late to turn back?
Will you be there to guide me?
My word is not in the heavens that you should ascend up
Nor beyond the sea that you should swim across
My word is here in your heart
My word is here in your mouth
I've placed your feet on my ground

Breaking & Becoming
04:01
|
|||
|
Why did you break me when I was just becoming
who I thought I was meant to be?
What are you purposing?
Stretch your hand to me
Don't you care that I'm perishing?
You who made me, do you see?
When will you heal me of all this calamity?
When will green leaves grace the tree?
What good are you growing?
I'm holding me breath as I search for the shore
I know you're the one who breaks to restore
I can't see your face, but I've seen in before
And so I'll wait till your word breaks the storm

The Sin of Apathy
03:45
|
|||
|
What year are we in this week?
Did the headlines make you weep?
More killer cops, more doublespeak
How long will you keep your peace?
Can't you see, or do you not speak?
You've got the same blood that your brother bleeds
Don't say all lives matter till you say his name
If you don't see the problem, who can make it plain?
If you bow to your comfort you'll have to kneel on the slain
Woe to the rich, whose comfort will end
Woe to the full, who will grow hungry again
Woe to those whose hands crush the innocent
Don't say all lives matter till you say their names
If you don't see the problem, who can make it plain?
If you bow to your comfort you'll have to kneel on the slain
Cain, where is your brother now?
His blood cries out from the ground
Is it too late to turn around?

Psalm 138
04:35
|
|||
|
Your steadfast love endures forever
Your steadfast love endures forever
Your steadfast love endures forever and ever
I give thanks to you O Lord with my whole heart
in all this earth I sing
I bow before your throne for rightly lifted up
are your word and your name
You are faithful to the sound of your voice
when I call to you
You lifted me from depths of despair
For our God is high, yet he regards us
Every king will be made low
before you, Light of Light
And the downcast will be raised
I am hidden in the mire
I'm hidden in your hand
I am suffering, I am safe
You are faithful to the works of your hands
when we call to you
Illuminate our darkness and given
your peace in the storm,
our breadcrumb trail home
Your steadfast love endures forever
Your steadfast love endures forever
Your steadfast love endures forever and ever

Predawn
06:11
|
|||
|
There's a sea of gathered sorrow
but it's stuck down in my chest
It just won't break through
All this history we've lived through
rhymes with all that came before
Are we ready to lose?
I've been waiting for the sun to break through
Let my weak heart feel your touch anew
In this predawn, till the night is removed
You don't have to let it fester,
You can come out from the cold
There's a place here for you
I can hear your invitation
in the incremental sky
All onyx, pink, blue
I've been waiting for the sun to break through
Let my weak heart feel your touch anew
In this predawn, till the night is removed
The one who made the sun waits with you in the darkness
In the dim fluorescence
The meaning of the night changes with his coming
Everything is changing in time

The Currents of Time
01:12
|
|||
|
There's nowhere to run
from the currents of time
I'm drowning
I want to hold it all,
but I can't hold anything
I'm drowning
My sorrow still gets the best of me
(but I know you hear me)

The Tides of Eternity
04:33
|
|||
|
Your breakers crash, I'm underneath their heavy weight
When I come up again, I do not recognize this place
Am I lost?
My times are caught in the tides of your eternity
Our eyes are locked, you're pulling me into your sea
Am I lost?
Your boundlessness hems me in
Where can I go from you presence?
My eyes are weak, I can't see
Your word is a lamp unto my feet
Your steadfast love abounds to me
I shall not lack any good thing
Though I'm hard-pressed and crushed with grief,
you're setting a table before me

Awash With Light
03:44
|
|||
|
Waking up to the light of the sun
in the silence, in the stillness
Dreams of spring bursting forth,
everything reborn
All manner of goodness and life flow from you
in the sunlight, in the darkest night
When we awake we will appear with you
Awash with light, my eyes return to you
You gave me sight, and let me see anew
A place to love, to heal from my wounds
A solid space to be known by you
It's hard to smile when the night was so cold
I remember, hold it in my bones
But surely joy follows pain,
and you give it all
A lovely taste when the bitterness has passed
A friend who stays when no other friend would last
Flesh of my flesh, a companion on the way
A home to rest in at the end of day
It's taken some time to remember what I know to be true
I was made to love and be loved by you
So make your home with me here,
make all things new

Mystery & Repose
03:54
|
|||
|
Within the summer sun you show yourself
You are the beauty in all we've beheld
Grand oaks in majesty, pines in repose
Declaring mysteries you alone know
In autumn's deep designs death makes an end
Yet holds the promise of new life again
I can't hold it all in my heart
You've been there from the start
