ABSOLUTION

Verse

I cry out I need You right now

Stuck in time trapped inside my mind

The silence is too loud

I cry out Lord forgive me now

Lost and broken, but now I am found

The silence is too loud

 

Pre-Chorus

Thanks for Your grace

Thanks for Your mercy

I stand amazed

In all your love for me

Thanks for Your grace

Thanks for Your mercy

I praise Your name

For all Your love for me

 

Chorus

Though I do not deserve Your love

Lord, You give it to me freely

though I do not deserve Your grace

Lord, You offer it abundantly

You never change

I stand amazed

 

Verse (same)

I cry out I need You right now

Stuck in time trapped inside my mind

The silence is too loud

I cry out for Lord forgive me now

Lost and broken, but now I am found

The silence is too loud

 

(same Pre-Chorus/ Chorus)

 

Bridge

Thanks for your grace

Thanks for your mercy

I stand amazed

In all Your love for me

 

TRUTH

(Oooh. Ooooh. Oooh. Ooooh.) 

(V1) It was all a lie to manipulate and get inside  my mind.

To make me believe that it had gone way too far this time.

No going back, mistakes, the pain too great to endure. But now, now I’m sure. 

(C) You are God, I know.  I know the Truth. I know it’s You now. You are God, I know. I know the Truth, I know it’s You.  

The devil knows my weakness; he throws it in my face. I pray against temptation; forgiven by your grace.

(Background, in Latin):

Verum dico nisi veritas

Mendacium profanum pervertit veritatem 

I pray for your protection; until you’re back again. This war is in Your favor; and that’s the Truth. Amen. Amen. Amen.

 Repeat (C) 

(B) Bitter Truth sweeter than sugared lie. For those who gaze for purpose. For those who cling to life. To every hungry soul, substance is sweeter. The starving inner mind let’s a silent cry!  

The devil knows my weakness; he throws it in my face. I pray against temptation; forgiven by Your grace. This war is in Your favor; Your Word says how it ends. This war is in Your favor; and that’s the Truth. Amen. Amen. Amen!

Repeat (C) 

(Oooh oooh oooh oooh OH OH OH ooooh ooooh) 

I know the Truth. I know it’s You. 

The devil knows my weakness; he throws it in my face. I pray against temptation; forgiven by Your grace. This war is in Your favor; Your Word says how it ends. This war is in Your favor; and that’s the Truth. Amen!


FEAR

(V1A) What you speak: those whispers in the night

Do you think they go unheeded?

Silenced cries into the dim twilight

To anyone who will come to hear

(V1B) Like a cry within a cave within the earth

It echoes on to those who hear it

But outside the cries are silenced by the earth

Silenced by earthly fear

(PC) If you saw clear, you'll no longer fear

The answer you seek is really quite near

(C) Darkness will fade with the day

Though now, it seems to stay

The voice: it calls not far away

to the listening ear that will search for the way to the light

(V2A) Why do you fear those sounds within the night?

Do you have a need to fear them?

Here for a time, but not eternity

to everything has its own season

(V2B) If He's the one who made up all the ears to hear (all the ears to hear)

Do you think He doesn't listen?

If He's the one who made up all the eyes to see (all the eyes to see)

Do you think he doesn’t see the vision?

(PC) Once you see clear the answer lies near.

There's nothing to fear with everything clear.

Repeat (C)

(B) What can darkness hold to the light?

When it is day, it's no longer night

What is fear, but things beyond sight?

And desires are made in the absence of light

Walk by faith, walk not by sight

Then you will see in the darkest of nights

Let your soul take in the light

Then fear will run back to hide in the night. NIGHT!

There’s nothing to Fear (x3)


HOW DO YOU KNOW?

How-Do-You-Know-Graphic_SQUARE.jpg

(V1) How do you know     

He gives sight to the blind 

And opens deaf ears 

That have never heard a sound 

(PC1) And when you’re sick 

Can make the lame to leap 

(C1) How do you know 

He will supply  

All your needs 

(V2) And in the storm 

Be the Prince of Peace 

And make a way 

That’s impossible to see 

(PC2) That water will break forth 

Put streams in your desert 

Be the light in your darkness 

Always be there 

(C2) How do you know 

He is the Lord 

Over all 

How do you know  

Him as the Lord 

Until… He is


SHATTER THE DOUBT

STD Cover with logo FINAL.jpg

(V2) Stand back 

Evaluate your mind 

Why are you afraid of pushing  

on into the dark? 

Transient apprehension 

Siphon all your knowledge 

To the problem that’s at hand 

(PC) Stand tall 

Press on 

(C) Shatter the doubt 

Then pick up the pieces on the ground 

Form a new word 

In methodical contrast from the first 

The sirens are calling  

What will you do with your life? 

Evade the cries  

Or choose to shatter the doubt? 

(V2) Look here 

What about the unknown do you fear 

And why you choose to steer clear? 

Opportunities come once in this life 

(PC) Stand tall 

Press on  

Through the stagnant fog you must 

Traverse and persevere 

REPEAT (C)

(B) I can never find ways to cope 

Devoid of any drive or any hope 

Every day I find excuses 

Waiting for the moment to arrive 

Patience for the instance I might strive for it all 

Wading through the struggles of this life 

Fading, please just take away my strife, take it all 

Shatter the Doubt and stand tall 

Shatter the Doubt and press on 

Shatter the Doubt and prove the wrong. Prove them wrong 

My thoughts now are changing 

Progression

Something in me 

Is changing 

Tear down the barricade 

Inside my mind 

The shore is up ahead 

The stars will lead the way 

The moment you arrive  

You must burn all your ships 

Don’t hide within yourself and fade into the deep 

Change course with all that’s left 

And never break your stride 


MORE THAN WHAT YOU ARE

Cover_Web.jpg

(V1) Like a seed

Placed in the ground

And left to die

...so your dream

Buried deep

Hidden down

For a time

... in death comes life,

(PC) darkness to light

(C) Your dreams

Are not gone

Your dream

Its who you are

Change comes

In the dark

Broken

To be more than what you are

(V2) You're the seed

The Gardener knows

In the dark

... And He sees

And your dream

Will still grow

And spring up

... you’re done with what you know

(PC) Change is coming

REPEAT (C)

(B) Your dream

Is calling out

Its almost time…

Its almost time!

Your dream

Is calling you now

Its almost time…

Its almost time!

(OUTRO) The first leaf

Is breaking forth

To new life…


BEYOND

beyond cover.jpg

(V1) Your tears say all there is 

You struggle to survive 

When your world is falling in 

With nowhere else to hide 

Frustration it grips you 

It breaks your heart inside 

Outside it’s anger rising 

Yet you swallow all your pride 

(PC) As the world is listening 

And channeling your mind 

Look beyond its thought control 

That is all you’ll find 

(C) Beyond the circles 

Beyond the heartbreak 

There’s a bigger taste of purpose 

Than what you really know 

Beyond exclusion 

Beyond the strife 

Is the answer to your question 

Beyond what you’ve been shown 

(V2) Rejected from all the circles 

Placed within in the box 

Does the price of this include 

Compromise of thought? 

Forsaken---- values 

Fed by broken dreams 

The vision of their ‘paradise’  

Isn’t what it seems 

REPEAT (PC)

REPEAT (C)

(B) Like dust in the way 

Justice for all 

As darkness pervades 

*There’s a taste of freedom* 

Despite what powers will say 

There is only vision 

Blind leads blind to the grave 

REPEAT (C)
