For Senses

If I can’t see, open my eyes
If I can’t hear, uncover my ears
If I can’t feel, soften my heart
To the least of these
and the one who is tearing me apart
This feels like, seeing for the very first time
And I don’t ever want to leave your side

Sounding Brass

I am the sounding brass
I am the cymbal crash
I am the knowledge seeker
I give the poor my cash
I believe I can move a mountain
I can speak in the angels tongue
I could give my life and body
but if it is without love
It is nothing it is nothing it is nothing
I am nothing I am nothing
I am nothing I am nothing I am nothing
I am the empty gift
I am the selfish giver
I’m the inflated mind boasting in what I deliver
I’ve got a lot of words
and not so many actions
but if the opportunity knocks better bet it’s gonna happen
Where there are prophecies
Of what they speak will pass away
Where there are tongues
there will be an end to all the words they say
Where there is knowledge
it will know a day when it is done
Even if I have it all
all is empty without love
But you spoke nothing into something
Could you speak to me
something out of nothing
out of nothing out of nothing out of nothing

Height Nor Depth

|

|
Neither life nor death
nor spirit nor ruler
or the present or things to come
Neither height nor depth
or anything else under heaven gonna tear you from
My love my love my love
My love, ooo - ooo, my love

Forever And

Can this fragile, shattered vessel
Really hold you, be your temple
Oh the awe of all that’s beauty
Resting in me, shining through me
Undone, made again
Light has come, made a friend
Of Infinite, with broken men Right again
In the image, in the image of
In the image, in the image of a living love
Be near to me even when
I’m far away please all the same
Be near to me even when
I’m far away please all the same, be near

A Mist, A Vapor
05:13

A thousand years are like a day
A day is like a thousand years
teach us to number, number our days
for like a vapor, we pass away
Oh man you mortal, re-turn to dust
But May His favor rest on us
