Broken Binds Us
05:04
|

Aren't we all so broken each and every one
Our sail boats a'sinkin in the midst of setting sun
Need we be further familiarized
With the hopelessness of paling water in rising tides
Let me lay my hands on you let me feel your pain
We're all bruised and broken left out in the rain
Let me draw you in let me pray out your name
Let us search you through and through
Don't be ashamed
Believe in, believe in me
As I believe in you
Real love heal your heart
I believe in you
In the midst of sorrow we feel alone
But isn't brokenness what binds us the song that we all know
It's the cup that we all drink of until we're full
It drips down into the belly seeps into the soul
In this great big world see how we relate
We are all in on our way to on our way from this lowly state
In this great big world with all its sticks and stones
We are anything but alone
Let us be broken
For it's the only place from which we can rebuild
Ground down to fine dust
Pour your water in and mold us with your hands

May It Be A Sweet Sound
04:54
|
|||
|
There’s beauty in a simple song
Words that aren’t dressed with laces or bows, I’m talking about a simple song
There’s something about a simple song, verses that aren’t like numbers transposed
Language nobody knows, no nothing like that
I found my way to your heart or you found me
And in this place I find rest for my bones, with my feet on the stone
I’ve grown weary, I’ve walked for years and years
For years I’ve walked by which way the wind blows
But there’s a river that flows straight to your heart
May the song on my lips be a sweet sound
May the work of my hands make you proud
May the path of my feet run after You
May the desire of my heart seek what is true
Let the river flow

Gypsy Girl

That’s a beautiful gypsy girl
If she was only real she could steal my heart
I’ve got some work of my own
A homemade gun that was a long time ago
Got out of jail in 1989
Got the hell out of Sacto where I spent my time
I’ve walked these streets for over twenty years
It’s not the cocaine it’s the vodka and the beer
I do believe but I curse ‘cause my feet
They’re so cold
Lord let him rest it’s easy

Run By Faith
04:48
|
|||
|
We are traveling through this place
We are but seekers of your face
We’ll run to You, we will run by faith
We’ll run to You, we’ll run for all our days
We are in love, we love Your ways
We are not lost, we’re found by grace
You be the river I’ll be the tree by your side
My leaves will not wither, my branches never die
Deeply rooted I shall not be moved
And in my season I will bear great fruit

Naked We Come
05:34
|
|||
|
I came into this world a silent boy
They loosened my neck and I let out that cry
Do you think we scream because we feel the pain
As we leave the mother’s safety into a world of shame
Do we know a world of hurt before we know our own name
As we grow so does out need
We hear the world whisper and it plants its seeds
What are you chasing after are you chasing something
Or are you running away by numbing feelings
Good God no one ever said that this would be easy
Naked we come naked we leave
What did we change was there fruit on the tree
Screaming we come in silence we leave
Whose hearts did we reach did we meet such a need
Our hands have worked so so hard
But nut naked we come, the same we’ll depart
O my good Lord how you have fashioned my days
Written in a book before the world was made
I will always hope that I have made You proud
To be a little light in a great big crowd
Take hold of what you gave me and I’ll sing it real loud

Schoolhouse Virginia our hearts sink for you
Schoolhouse Virginia a world of eyes weep for you
Broken Virginia what could we say or do
While you weep in Virginia we weep in California too
Tragic Virginia what priceless treasure you lose
They’re weeping down in Georgia
Angels wailing up in heaven for you
Schoolhouse Virginia
God be with you
Take heart take heart Virginia you know we’ll stand by your side
Do rest weary Virginia God sings over you tonight
O wounded children these hands are insufficient to ease your pain
But hear this now people
There’s rest and there is healing in Jesus’ name
Arise sweet Virginia they wait and watch in heaven what next you’ll do
Rebuild sweet Virginia in honor of those precious thirty-two
Broken Virginia
God be with you
Take heart take heart Virginia you know we’ll stand by your side
Do rest weary Virginia God sings over you tonight
Take heart take heart Virginia you know we’ll stand by your side
Rebuild rebuild Virginia God breathe restoration on your

Boy Asleep Man Awake

By let me tell you now things were never meant to be this way
The ones that love you and the ones you love were well
Well they were meant to stay by your side
Mister tell me now did you intend for things to be this way
Since you passed it’s been real rough weather
And skies of grey
Hear this now I’ll pull some of your weight
Take me hand and I’ll take you there don’t be afraid
Hear this now I’ll pull some of your weight
Life’s just rough I know it is but it’s not too late
As a boy you went to sleep that night
Down the hall he gave up the fight to live till tomorrow
As a boy you went to sleep that night
Woke as a man at sunrise
Man be strong for your mother

Loves A Fight
04:26
|
|||
|
I need to see love in a different light
Love without a battle love without a fight
I suppose I should love cause it seems to be right
But I will not love when love’s a fight
Who plants a seed in a innocent heart
That sprouts a weed and makes him start
To doubt what is pure and true and right and to be alone in his fight
Good God would You shed some light cause I’ve never felt so dark as I feel tonight
I’ve never felt so alone
I need to feel, I need to know, love
I need to see love in a different light
Love without a battle love without a fight
If I would love You first the best I can then I wouldn’t need to be afraid of who I am
In love with You is who I am
In the depths of Your love I’ve found who I am

St. Mary Sunshine
05:22

What makes you think that you’re something so special
You thin you’ll sweep her off her feet
And you’ll tell her this is love, and this and that
You’ll say I’ll show you love, Come on
What do you know about that
You built the courage to tell her that you need her
Darling smiles and she turns away but you say she’s the one and this and that
You say I know she’s the one, ya she’s the one that’s gonna break your little heart
Santa Maria lady you’re my sweet sunshine
Graceful graceful lady say that you’ll be mine
I’m the type of guy that never needed nobody by my side
And then this little princess just walks into my life
And suddenly I can’t go on like this
But truthfully she doesn’t want your kisses anyway
O wounded soldier you’re hanging by a thread
Trying to read into her like a book to be read and hope she thinks of you
As she holds his hands
You hope she dreams of you when she lays down her head
Would you look at how she shines
That girl is like perfect gold
But she won’t shine on me and it’s very very cold

Your Side
04:19
|
|||
|
I’ll never never leave Your side Your touch sustains my life
I’m as good as dead without Your hand teach me what it is to be a man
A monster of man I had become I forgot my name and who I was
Then a lovely voice said boy you’ve wondered far but I love you now
And that’s who you are
I’ll never never leave Your side Your touch sustains my life
I’m as good as dead without Your hand teach me what it is to be a man
As long as I can speak I’ll sing Your name I’ll never never be the same
How could I conceal the love You gave
How could I not bless You for the life You saved
My sufficiency, the breath in me
Outside of Your heart a raging sea swallows me
For this my son is dead in sin but My love runs deep and he lives again
I’ll fall on him kiss his neck as I’ve waited for him since the day he left

My Mountain Top
04:23
|
|||
|
How come you never wrote a song about me
He said it lightly and jokingly
Your songs have found a way to my heart you make me so proud
And it’s so so hard to find the words
Got to search my heart to say what’s but I’ll do my best cause I know you did
And you make me so proud
I’m on my way on my way
To be a man like the man that you are
There’s no pit stop to your mountain top
I want to be a man like the man that you are
At twenty-two do you have it figured out I don’t know if I should
At twenty-two I live in a one room place with six other guys in Hollywood
But I’m learning what it is t be man to love the good Lord like my daddy can
To be a strong and loving hand through thick and thin
One of these days I’ll be just like him

Awake

What a dreary cloud hangs about his head
What a dreadful weight hangs around his neck
I’ll play you and old song in a minor key he says
His voice is weary his song claims he’s so tired of feeling dead
Awake Awake Breathe Live
Arise Arise Love Become
Who you were called to be
O beautiful sister why do you hang your head
When you speak the lend their ears and an angel’s voice you have
Your gifts are many and there’s a promise in your heart
You’ve been robbed I’ve been robbed
Let’s take back what is ours
Awake Awake Breathe Live
Arise Arise Love Become
We will not be slaves

I Am Ezekiel
03:55
|

|
Your hands came down on me and brought me out and set me down
In a valley of dry bones
And then You caused me to walk on by and indeed these bones were dry
They were dry in the midst of the valley
Son of man can these bones live
O God only You know
O dry bones hear these words, believe
Connect connect as your told
Stand on your feet
O four winds enter them and let them breathe
What was dry bones now stands and lives
A great army
