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

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

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

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
