When they put me in the ground When they put me in the ground When they put me in the ground When they put me in the ground Please don’t remember only all your fondest memories of me But tell redemptions story Soli Deo glory glory

If your voice could calm the storm on the sea could you still the one in me If you spoke the starry hosts into space could you pull me from this place Well I know that I need you need you right here more than I've ever know ’til now ’Cause what I know of knowin you this moments not enough to bail me out If the words that all my life were taught to me of who you’re meant to be Lose the light that they once shone could you send new sight to see again Well I know that I need you need you right here more than I've ever know ’til now ’Cause what I know of knowin you this moments not enough to bail me out Please, ple - ease. I need you here like I’ve never known I need you before Please, ple - ease. I need you here like I’ve never known I need you before

“Running away”: they’re running, the world’s running You can run you can run but your day will come. And I’ll be waiting here with open arms waiting on the day you realize you cannot run from who you are

I’m finding my way back home I’m sorry it’s been so long I’m finding my way back home I’m sorry it’s been so long This heart has a mind to roam I know that it’s not my own This heart has a mind to roam I know that it’s not my own Back home, find my way back home Back home, find my way back home

“Is He on the throne. Does He rule all of it? Does He rule...” Take “my mind” ta-ake “my money” all of me, won’t you “is He on the throne” Take “my mind” ta-ake “who’s on the throne of your heart tonight?” all of me Anything, I don’t want anything less than You (I don’t want) Anything, I don’t want anything less than You (I don’t want) less than You Take “my heart” ta-ake “my pleasure” all of me “is He on the throne” Take “I ask is He the king” ta-ake “is He the king” all of me. All hail the power of Jesus name let angels prostrate fall bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him as Lord of all Let every kindred every tribe on this terrestrial ball before Him all majesty ascribe and crown Him as Lord of all May this be more than only words oh, to hold You in my heart

Your love is a one of a kind love from everlasting to everlasting love Your love is a one of a kind love from everlasting to everlasting love As high as the heavens from the sky so great is Your love and kindness As the east from the west is the distance You've removed our wrong and blame As a father to his child Your compassion on the heart that reveres You so with all that is within us we will song a song to bless Your holy name With all of my soul, I will bless Your name With all of my soul, I will bless Your name on and on and on and on on and on and on and on So I will sing out a song of Your unending kindness and goodness I will sing on and on of Your steadfast sacrificial love How Your hand has upheld will uphold a perfect righteous justice Oh my lips cannot refrain from singing praises to Your name for what You’ve done

about

Civilized Creature’s seventh album, “The Way Back Home,” represents yet another stage of development for Washington-based songwriter/producer Ryan Lane. Here, you can hear the prolific experimentalist beginning to settle down into a confidently under-stated poise.

Neither tongue-tied nor talkative now, Civilized Creature drops most of the spoken word rap in his latest release, choosing instead to let the music speak for itself. Hardly a word has been heard, but volumes have been communicated.
