My Sins 03:38
my sins are a rainbow my sins are a joke my sins are a staple my sins are my hope my sins are the darkness my sins are the light my sins are not what you think whatever you've done is done whatever you've done is gone your sins are a river your sins are a chain your sins are a junkie caught out in the rain your sins are on fire your sins packed in ice your sins are not what i perceive whatever you've done is done whatever you've done is gone let's stop fearing, let's start doing let's start saving, let's start dreaming whatever you've done is done whatever you've done is gone our sins are a challenge our sins are a fight but our sins should not keep us from doing what's right our sins are on fire burned off like a fog there's no sin that keeps us from god there's no sin that keeps you from god

Veronica 04:11
veronica, my love, you got more than you bargained for the temple veil is torn in pieces veronica, my love, you thought it was just one more day another broken man, another pair of hands are reaching out the crowd begins to shout but you couldn’t bear to see the pain, the sweat just beading on his brow it’s never or it’s now and a light was lit in you veronica, my love, the world ain’t making sense no more now i stand on foreign shores but now i know my heart, i’ve seen the face that burned your eyes i’ve heard him say don’t cry and who am i, so small, my shadow in the fire and oh my soul is tired but my heart burns, the world keeps turning and the sun will set but he does not forget and now a light’s been lit in me beloved, lead me there it’s all become so clear to this broken body now i can’t go back to who i was before so we follow and become much more so come and light my fire come and light my fire veronica my love, we got more than we bargained for the temple veil is torn in pieces adonai, i sing amen adonai, i sing amen

Jael 05:12
oh, jael have you been drinking i see the wine spilled in the setting sun oh, jael what you been thinking jael, it's not your fault sometimes it's so unfair the things we're called to do the chains that cling to you the shades that meet you there sometimes it's so depraved the place angels prepare the whispers in the air the justice but your pain oh, jael was it on impulse when you saw him running to your tent did it cross your mind oh, jael did he see the spark in your eyes jael, it's so much more than this sometimes it's so obscene the things we're asked to do the times we must be cruel the blood we have to spill sometimes it's so surreal the seeds we have to sow the trees their poison grows the guilt we always feel oh, jael, oh, jael jael, it's not your fault it wasn't up to you sometimes it's so unfair the things we're called to do the chains that cling to you the shades that meet you there sometimes it's so depraved the place angels prepare the silver in your hair the night time and your pain oh, jael

Like a Child 03:20
like a child that is quieted quieted is my soul like a child i long to trust you with my all quieted is my soul like a child i am small and afraid like a child i am weak if i should crumble at the end of the day still your deep wildness i’ll seek surely no heart has loved like this heart deep as the fires in the sea how my heart trembles in your presence like fire how you’ve made silence so sweet how your heart loved everything into being can it teach my heart to breathe surely no heart has loved like this heart deep as the fires in the sea surely no heart has loved like this heart deep as the fires in the sea like a child that is quieted o my soul

and so it goes, the canyon, the place you can't sustain and so it goes, the tragedy, the candle and the rain the sweet communion, the absurdity of the slave who wears a crown the lungs that long to drown and so it goes, the paradox, the game that you won't play and so it goes, the mystery of the corpse who would be king philosophy was just a hopeless dream: a cup can't hold infinity the flesh that feels the heat and so the emptiness, the resignation and the smile a million insights and the splinters of a night that's so familiar and every star is strung up high and she is dancing in your mind are you breathing: do you want to be alive the shock of union, the atrocity of the god brought to his knees the eyes that ache to see and so kenosis, yes, the great offense, the pouring out a thousand knifepoints and the breaking of a truth that's so familiar and every hand is held up high and you are dancing in the fire are you breathing: do you want to be alive and so the emptiness, the resignation and the smile a million insights and the breaking of a dawn that's so familiar and every star is strung up high and it is dancing in your eyes are you breathing: do you want to be alive yeah, you're breathing deep: i know you want to be alive

Bittersweet 03:06
bittersweet, your love to me your sanctity and bittersweet, beyond all fear your fire so clean before there was morning, you laughed into being you loved into being before there was evening, you turned up the heat you fashioned sublime the light, carbon take heed stars, give them eyes to see bittersweet, created me pure sanctity and bittersweet the world made free, all creatures here throughout every century you fashioned a heart you lit the spark but time and again we got into your way, so far away yet still you seduce all things, songs in the dark capture this falling star bittersweet, hung on the tree to weep, to bleed and bittersweet, but still broke free to rise again in the world and me we cry for your fire again, send us your seeds deep calls to deep calls to deep calls to deep bittersweet, o spirit, breathe and feed your sheep bittersweet, the bells will ring, the bells will ring the bells will ring, the bells will ring

Secret Place 03:35
i have a secret place where dragons lay their eggs i have a secret place where angels lay their heads sometimes i'm there all day watching the spider spin and that is where i go when my world caves in into my secret place they hate my secret place they say it's dark and grey they shun my secret place they think i hid the key they say my secret place has nothing left to say but if they listen hard, they'll hear a small voice say: "i have so much to give; if you say no that is no sin, but shouting never stopped the light from shining through the cracks this place is open, all are welcome in this place" we have a secret place where dark fades into day we have a secret place a peace we can't escape sometimes we're there all day burn bright as candle flames and that is where we go when the dark comes rushing in into our secret place we have so much to give if you say no that is no sin and you can laugh, we'll wait until the seekers call her name this place is open, all are welcome in this place she has so much to give if you say no that is no sin but shouting never stopped the light from shining through the cracks this place is open, all are welcome in this place welcome in this place

Oceanrise 04:11
make me believe in the power of forgiving make me conceive of a brand new beginning take me away from the hell i’ve created and be my compass, and be my companion oh, be my rock, oh be my stronghold oh, swallow me up until all of my doubts are gone i’ve waded in, now let your ocean start rising let me begin to learn to let go of gravity unburden me of my every failure i’ll give you all of my faith in a saviour erase my sins, give me sweet fire to bathe in and be my comfort, and lift me up on eagle’s wings oh, be my rock, oh be my stronghold oh, swallow me up until all of my doubts are gone i’ve waded in, now let your ocean start rising let me begin to learn to let go of gravity i’ve waded in, now let your ocean start rising let me begin to learn to let go of gravity
