Shadow Lands
03:23
|

Hold me through these shadow lands
Hold me help me understand
You are my reality I wrestle with desire
Nothing of this world can quench the Spirit's fire
You have created me to long for Heaven's home
Father guide my steps as I approach Your throne
Hold me through these shadow lands
Hold me help me understand
I stumble through this life how I long to be with You
Beyond these shadow lands where Your light shines pure truth
Scriptures clearly show that truth will be my guide
Heaven's endless joys are on the other side
Hold me through these shadow lands
Hold me help me understand
Hold me I stumble as I run
Hold me as I follow the Son
A new day with You I reach with open hands
A new day with You beyond these shadow lands
Hold me through these shadow lands
Hold me help me understand
Hold me I stumble as I run
Hold me as I follow the Son
Follow the Son
Follow the Son
I’ll follow you, my Lord
Follow the Son
Follow the Son
I’ll follow You through these shadow lands
I’ll follow You
Follow You my Lord

Brave New World
03:03
|

Give me my soma
Lay-Z-Boy sofa
Where's the remote control
Give me a sitcom
Movie or game show
Whatever's the latest rage
All the world's a stage
It's hard to pray with the TV on
Even harder to turn it off
In a brave new world
Feeding off a satellite
One with the matrix
Where dreams feel real
And reality feels like dreaming
I want to wake up
Journey to Zion
Even Alice had to leave this wonderland behind
It's hard to pray with the TV on
Even harder to turn it off
In a brave new world
Brave new world
In a brave new world today
This is an SOS to my first love
An IOU to a late night show
I'm learning to pray with the TV off
Waiting to see what unfolds
In a brave new world
Brave new world
In a brave new world today
In a brave new world
Brave new world
In a brave new world today

Singing in the house
Singing in the house
Singing in the house of the Lord
Gather all the holy people
Spread the Word across the land
lnvite the sisters and the brothers
Are you willing to take a stand
God is calling to His people
So lift your voice in one accord
He is worthy to be worshiped
Praise the name of the Lord
Singing in the house
Singing in the house
Singing in the house of the Lord
God is good and He is holy
Through His love He sent His Son
To lead us all into the temple
And see the splendor of the Holy One
So bring your talents and your gifts
And bow before His holy throne
Always thank Him for His mercy
Give your praise to the Lord
Singing in the house
Singing in the house
Singing in the house of the Lord

I Lift My Praise
03:03
|
|||
When I let go of my pride
When I drop all my defenses
When I forfeit all my rights
My hands rise up towards heaven
When my fears have been released
When I let loose of my treasures
When I set my debtors free
My hands rise up towards heaven
My hands rise up in praise
As I come prepared to worship
My hands rise up in praise
For You have set me free
My hands rise up in praise
As I’m standing here before You
Father I lift my praise
When I let go of my pride
When I drop all my defenses
When I forfeit all my rights
My hands rise up towards heaven
When my fears have been released
When I let loose of my treasures
When I set my debtors free
My hands rise up towards heaven
My hands rise up in praise
As I come prepared to worship
My hands rise up in praise
For You have set me free
My hands rise up in praise
As I’m standing here before You
Father I lift my praise

One Day
04:33
|

Picture an artist thrown in a dungeon
There she bears and rears a son
Woman of faith she hopes of deliverance
Dreamed of freedom from day one
Pencils and sketchpads structure his leaning
She will draw what he's not seen
Glorious cities rivers and mountains
Truth revealed majestic scenes
She says one day we will live in a better place
One day we will see, see your Fathers face
One day we feel, feel His warm embrace
One day we will be free
Doing his best he tries to imagine
Endless seas and ocean waves
But he can’t believe in objects without lines
Understanding fades away
She says one day we will live in a better place
One day we will see, see your Fathers face
One day we feel, feel His warm embrace
One day we will be free
Can he trust his mother
For the things he's never known
Of a Father longing for him
Of a place she calls home
She says one day we will live in a better place
One day we will see, see your Fathers face
One day we feel, feel His warm embrace
One day we will be
One day we will live in a better place
One day we will see, see your Fathers face
One day we feel, feel His warm embrace
One day we will be free
One day we will be free
One day we will be
One day we will be free

Joy
02:56
|

Consider it pure joy my brothers
Whenever you face trials of many kinds
Far you know the testing of your faith
Develops perseverance
Perseverance must finish its work
So that you may be mature and complete
Not lacking in anything
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
Consider it pure joy my brothers
Whenever you face trials of many kinds
Far you know the testing of your faith
Develops perseverance
Perseverance must finish its work
So that you may be mature and complete
Not lacking in anything
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
Through hardships and trials I face
I’m leaning to live by faith
Dependent on Gods good grace
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength

Liar Lunatic or Lord
03:50
|
|||
Have you wondered have you figured out
What we are to make of Him
Fully man fully God
Perfect without sin
Some laugh others cry
Some tear their clothes with fire in their eyes
Build a fence build a wall
Pretend there's no existence at al1
Is He God or a madman
Or the Devi1 running out of control
They'd have called Him Great Teacher
But He claimed to be the Savior of souls
Have you wondered have you figured out
The Carpenter's feet and hands
Did the nails keep Him on the cross
Or was it the sins of man
If He is who He says He is this changes everything
Shouldn't liars and lunatics truly be ignored
Could a liar or lunatic open heavens door
Then what are we to make, make of Jesus Christ
Did He paid a price we could not afford
What are we to make, make of Jesus Christ
Is He a Liar, Lunatic or Lord
Do I shut Him up as a fool
Do I cast Him out as a demon
Or do I fall down at His feet and worship Him
Calling Him Lord
If He is who He says He is this changes everything
Then what are we to make, make of Jesus Christ
Did He paid a price we could not afford
What are we to make, make of Jesus Christ
Is He a Liar, Lunatic or Lord
What are we to make, make of Jesus Christ
No one ever spoke quite like this before
What are we to make, make of Jesus Christ
Is He a Liar, Lunatic
A Liar, Lunatic
A Liar, Lunatic or Lord

Good Times
03:16
|

Goodbye gloom
Goodbye rainy days
Good times have come
And they’re here to stay
Yesterday I was feeling blue
And as faded as my jeans
But good times have come
And they’re here to stay
Good times have come
Seems they’re here to stay
Oh my troubles
Used to be with me night and day
But they realized
Good times are here to stay
Now the only thing
My troubles can say
Is goodbye my friend
Good times are here to stay
Good times have come
Seems they’re here to stay
Good times have come
Seems they’re here to stay
Good times have come
Seems they’re here to stay

She goes so far to hide her face
And everyone knows her
She goes so far to find a place
Where no one reminds her of the games she's played
The bed of lies she has made
Oh the woman at the well
She's the woman at the well
Has He no shame to talk to her
How can He talk to her
He has no shame to talk to her
Will you give me a drink
She says you do not know this Samaritan's daughter
He says you do not know I am the Living Water
Jesus is the Living Water
Jesus is the Living Water
Drink, and thirst no more
I want to drink and thirst no more
Then go get your husband
I have no man to call my own
He said I know your shame
She says how can you know
This Samaritan's daughter
He says you do not know
I am the Living Water
Jesus is the Living Water
Jesus is the Living Water
Drink, and thirst no more
Jesus is the Living Water
Jesus is the Living Water
Drink, and thirst no more
His life is filled with truth
His life was spilled for you
Jesus is the Living Water
Jesus is the Living Water
Drink, and thirst no more
Jesus is the Living Water
Jesus is the Living Water
Drink, and thirst no more
Drink, and thirst no more

Face to Face
03:02
|
|||
I found a costume in the closet
Vanity and pockets full of pride
I wrapped my ugliness in mystery
So hidden no one even missed me
I saw a mirror on the bookshelf
Read the words that tore my word apart
The truth was burning that's when I froze
Where are the emperor’s new clothes
After all the games I’ve played
After all masquerade
I can’t even face myself
After being so unreal
What's a man supposed to feel
When can’t even face myself
When I can shed away the mask
When can do what is asked
It takes a lifetime to run the race
Just to see You face to face
I put You on the stand and questioned
Who and why and what and where and how
But why should You be moved to answer
A faceless voice lost in the crowd
l am hanging by a thread
After all l’ve done and said
I can’t even face myself
What's the notion in the head
That keeps a spirit clothed and fed
When can’t even face myself
When I can peel away the skin
When I can dig deep with in
It takes a lifetime to run he race
I will see You face to face
When I can drop the disguise
When I can lose all the lies
It takes a lifetime but with Your grace
I’ll see You face to face
Face to face
I’m learning to speak, see and hear
The man I will be is still unclear
When I can finish up the race
I’ll see You face to face
I’m dying to self learning to live
Love isn’t love until it gives
It takes a life time but with Your grace
I will see You face to face
I will see You face to face
I will see You face to face
