Let me drink from You
Some see the water but they will not drink
Some have the thirst while they're standing by the sink
Some drink the water and live by the well
In the middle of the drought and they still don’t tell
Some sip the water and can’t handle the taste
Some think it’s pretty but they let it go to waste
Some drink the water and their souls are refreshed
But they store up the water and they keep it from the rest
Let me drink from You
Oooo, there is a fountain, Oooo, there is a fountain
Come drink the water for the water is sweet
Wash in the water for the water makes you clean
Walk on the water if the water will hold you
If the author of the water walked the water and told you
Born in the water From death into the life
Scorned for the water For the dark hates the light
The water runs red but the blood turns white
for love in the flesh has bled and made right
Let me drink from You
Oooo, there is a fountain, Oooo, there is a fountain
And its rising up inside of me
This tidal wave of eternity.
And its rising up inside of me
This tidal wave of eternity.

Lights On

A curse to the curse
From the first to the last breath
Birth then death
then death in reverse
Love hurts hurt
Gave birth to the first man
New mans works
Where the works won’t work
Right works might work
Right at the surface
In the end just as worthless
As a fistful of dirt
Light makes right work
White is the shade
That the bloodshed made
since our works just hurt
Let the light in
Because the lights on
HE turned the lights on
And its a BRIGHT dawn
So let the light in
Because the light is on
Let the light in
And sing a new song
He made the wrong right
And made the wrong gone
So let the light in
Because the light is on
A curse to the curse
From the first to the last breath
Birth then death
then death in reverse
Worth of the earth
Resurrected to the first state
No stalemate
for the place of His worth
Situation terse
but he flipped and reversed
on a script getting worse
To a bride and a church
And even in a dearth
Of the fruit that is birthed
By the spirit in his bride
let his light be our worth
Let the light in
Because the lights on
HE turned the lights on
And its a BRIGHT dawn
So let the light in
Because the light is on
Let the light in
And sing a new song
He made the wrong right
And made the wrong gone
So let the light in
Because the light is on
This light (day by day it grow inside of me)
This light (day by day it grow inside of me)

Half my life feels like a chance been missed
Like i met the truest love and never kissed
But i only see what’s wasted when its passed
And I’m miles down the road looking back.
And I’m miles down the road looking
Let me live it now
Let me be right here
Let me see the light shine
When I’m blinded by this fear
when all is said and done
Let me be with you
Like a father with his son
Like a spirit with the truth
Oh wish that I could take it back
All the hurts and griefs I laid upon your lap
I know that yesterday’s already come and gone
But the futures yet to be sung in our song
Yes the futures yet to be sung in this song.
Let me live it now
Let me be right here
Let me see the light shine
When I’m blinded by this fear
when all is said and done
Let me be with you
Like a father with his son
Like a spirit with the truth
This is not the end.
This is not the end.

A Kiss, A Curse

You can break the branches
You can curse the tree
You can sharpen axes
But if the fruit it bears is sweet
Believe
You can seize the vineyard
Have The tenants mocked and beat
You can put the son to the sword
But he will rise back to his feet.
You’ll see.
You can praise your freedom
But are you really free
If the fruit of all your liberty
Is the enemy of peace
You can mock their weaknesses
Ridicule the meek
But it’s blind men leading blind men
Who are claiming that they see
Yes it’s blind men leading blind men
Who are claiming that they see

Paid It All

10 10 times worse than I think I am
Hard heart of a wolf man posed as lamb
My own strength fails me again and again
Is there any end to the cycle were in
Enemy of hearts makes enemies of friends
Poison in the water that’s poured from my hands.
Try my best to flip it but I know that I can’t
Who can change from the roots to fruit of the plant.
He did it back then He can do it again
He did it back then he can do it again
Heart of stone turned back into flesh once again
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Past and the present
He covers it all
Here and now to the future
He covers it all
What I’ve done to my brother
He covers it all
I should pay the penalty but he took the fall
For the wrongs done against me
He covers it all
For when I only see me
He covers it all
Could it be could it be
That he covers it all
When I should pay the penalty but he took the fall
He did it back then He can do it again
He did it back then he can do it again
Heart of stone turned back into flesh once again
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
This is what you needed
Even if not what you wanted
This is what you needed
Thought that you could beat it
But your heart remained haunted
But this is what you needed.
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe,
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
