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

|

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

Claim my Heart
03:48
|
|||
tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
rich man, poor man, beggar, thief
we all fall, we all descend, we break or bend
we all are weak
how could you want me at my weakest
how could you shake me to my foundations
why would you want to haunt my heart
to breathe your nephesh in
you don’t want this
you should stop this
it’s not right, oh just give me up, i’m not a friend
if you knew me, truly, deeply
i am lost, oh, let me go, death wins
how could you want me at my weakest
how could you shake me to my foundations
why would you want to haunt my heart
to breathe your nephesh in
why would you haunt my heart
why would you want my heart
why would you claim my heart
and let your light shine in
but your words fall in, your words fall in
your words fall in, oh like dew drops into every crack
words fall in, your words fall in
your words fall in and i see it now
oh will you hold me at my weakest
oh will you shake me to my foundations
oh will you dare to tear me open
let your light blaze in
oh will you claim my heart
oh will you claim my heart
oh will you claim my heart
and breathe your ruach in
oh will you claim my heart
god, will you claim my heart
christ, will you claim my heart
and breathe your holy spirit in
tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
rich man, poor man, beggar, thief
we all shine, we all ascend, we break to mend
we are all set free

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

Søren's Song
03:37
|
|||
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

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
