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

I cry out I need You right now

Lost and broken, but now I am found
The silence is too loud

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?
(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
(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
(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
(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)
