Why don't you see me?
Why don't you care?
Can't you see I'm dying here?
Oh, please, just...
just reach out your hand
and SAVE ME!!

Concrete
04:35
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I lie here on the concrete
Broken, broken, crack, crack, snap, ouch!
I lie here on the concrete
And I cannot move
…
And you pass me by!
Chorus 1:
“Sir! Sir!”
Look at me lying on the filthy, cold floor,
Covered in pestilence,
No shelter from the elements
“Isn’t there anything you could do for me?
Oh, please! Please!”
Give me just a crumb to chew on
I’m not sure how long I’ll go on
Bridge 1:
“Oh nooo! I cannot help you,
My dear... anomaly
I’m upperclass
Here, just chew on this glass
And die a quicker death for me
Smile!”
Verse 2:
I lie here on the concrete
Broken, broken, crack, crack, snap, ouch!
I lie here on the concrete
And I’m angry now
…
And you walk away!
Chorus 2:
“Sir! Sir!"
I know you hate me, since you show it so well
You’ve got a prideful mind,
Wouldn’t care if I up and died
“I had thought you religious people were actually kind
But you… Seriously?”
I see your face and my fist is calling
If I could stand then I’d send you falling
Bridge 2:
“Hahaha!
Is this some kind of joke?
You’re a freak
And as far as I can see
You don’t have the strength to even poke
Bye now!”
Verse 3:
I lie here on the concrete
Broken, broken, crack, crack, snap, ouch!
I lie here on the concrete
And that’s all I can do
…
And I fade away
Ending:
Ha-oh, ohh…
And we always find so many things to criticize
And we always try to be on the right side
But don’t we know there’s more than our own way
And don’t we know there’s a coming final day
Justice will be served; don’t you worry…

Speak Your Word
03:48
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
This is my time to grow
You're showing me so many things
And it's hard to know
Where I'm going, but You
Have never left my side,
And I'm sure
You'll open up that door,
And I'll see... Your love
Chorus:
So speak Your word
Into my heart,
And from Your face
I won't depart
I want to know
Your master plan
So take my life
Into Your hand
Hey!
Verse 2:
You are my glorious song
It's a melody of purest love
And I want the world to sing along
But they don't want to
They'd rather turn away,
But not me
I'm sitting at Your feet
And You've captured me completely
Chorus:
So speak Your word
Into my heart,
And from Your face
I won't depart
I want to know
Your master plan
So take my life
Into Your hand
Hey!
Speak Your word
Speak Your word
Speak Your word
Speak Your word
HEY!

Here Goes Nothing
04:27
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I will write You a song
It doesn't matter if the world sings along
And I will offer You my life
And quit my endless striving to be right
Pre-Chorus 1:
'Cause in Your eyes I'm already
Just the way You made me to be
Chorus:
So here goes nothing
Just take all that this is
Here goes nothing
Just take all that this is
And I'll stop trying to do something so big
When all You wanted was this
Verse 2:
You have given me life
So sweet and full of joy in Your light
And You have shown me the way
So I'll hold Your hand and do as You say
Pre-Chorus 2:
'Cause nothing else satisfies
And I'm ready to be surprised by Your love
Chorus:
So here goes nothing
Just take all that this is
Here goes nothing
Just take all that this is
And I'll stop trying to do something so big
When all You wanted was this
So here goes nothing
Just take all that this is
Here goes nothing
Just take all that this is
Here goes nothing
Just take all that this is
And I'll stop trying to do something so big
When all You wanted was this

Psalm 5
01:40
|
|||
|
Give ear to my words, O Lord
Consider my meditation
Harken unto the voice of my cry,
My King and my God,
For unto Thee will I pray
My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning
O Lord, in the morning will I direct my prayer
Unto Thee and will look up

An Overturned Lantern
03:57
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
A lit candle atop an overturned lantern,
The lantern smashed; its dim light was grimly seen
A broken pattern, my hope’s been aptly shattered,
But still a dying candle illuminates the unlit scene
I see it now, my life’s been completely reborn
The fading embers aren’t remembered when they hit the floor
I watched with eyes wide; my mind’s in a hollow disgust
It looks like all my past intentions passed me when they bit the dust
Oh! A mouth full of blasphemous sand!
I thought that chewing on the memories
Would lead me to the promised land
But that was just a mirage; now I’m dying of thirst
God, You gotta come and fill me up ’til I’m tot’lly submersed.
And send a curse to the lies that I keep believin’!
Snip the strings that Satan’s got me on to do his biddin’,
Pullin’ me all over, ’til I’m dizzy, unsure
Of everything that I really ought to live for
I try to take a breath, but I haven’t found a cure
Chorus 1:
I pass out atop the stairs
If I’m fallin’, I am unaware
The voices tell me that I should be scared
If I’m fallin’, I am unaware
It’s a moment where I need to trust
Forget the life of only “us”
Your voice tells me that I must
Forget the life of only “us”
Verse 2:
A streetlamp now shines as a post so bright
I turn my head, ‘cause I can’t stand to look at the light
Caught in the blaze, I try to hide my face
But it’s too late; I melt in the midst of the fire
Explosion throws me to my knees
Now bloodied like a battle with no way of victory
A sword unsheathes and burns in the midst of the flames
I’m crying, begging, “Don’t look at me! Spare me, please!”
I run like a raging tide,
But it’s time to “tidy” up ‘cause there’s no place to hide
Place me in a cleft of rocks so the flames will cease
I’m runnin’ to the rhythm of death with a blackened beat!
And my feet are blistering, ever sore
I don’t dare to e’er look back to see what lies in store
Pushing at a pace where I taste my deathbed,
Sleeping in the salty sheets of blood-red
I trip, and here comes that deadly sword!
Chorus 2:
A sword-jab to the heart
This is the moment where my life will start
The flames tear me all apart
This is the moment where my life will start
Can’t be sure I’m not dying
Time to stop with all my trying
Losing all the tears I’m crying
Time to stop with all my trying
I think it’s time to make amends
This can’t be how the story ends
My pleas are more than just pretend
This can’t be how the story ends
Chorus 3:
Can’t be sure I’m not dying
Time to stop with all my trying
Losing all the tears I’m crying
Time to stop with all my trying
It’s a moment where I need to trust
Forget the life of only “us”
His voice tells me that I must
Remember now, it’s only us
Can’t be sure I’m not dying
Time to stop with all my trying
Losing all the tears I’m crying
Time to stop with all my trying
It’s a moment where I need to trust
Forget the life of only “us”
His voice tells me that I must
Remember now, it’s only us

Up Above The Dark Plain
01:13
|

|
Rise, my soul,
And fly to golden light
In the wonder of grace
Where my soul finds life
Up above the dark plain
And steal away
To greatest peaks unknown
Mountains of Your right hand
Keep me far from woe
Take me to Your bright land
Oh, my home is now with You
Keep me safe
From all the dread and gloom
I need
My home is now with You
Far away
From all the dread and gloom
I need You
Rise, my soul,
And fly to golden light
In the wonder of grace
Where my soul finds life
Up above the dark plain

What do you say?
Your breath, Your voice

My hands held high
And I can’t help
But fall before You, Lord

You beckon me
A call to rise
I can’t believe my eyes

Amazed
At all You’ve done for me, oh

No tongue can tell

My hands held high
And I can’t help
But fall before You, Lord
Bridge:
I can’t look away from
All Your glory
Chorus 2:
Oh, I look up
To the Holy God
No tongue can tell
His endless wonders
Here I am
My hands held high
Amazed
At all You’ve done for me, oh

I look up
To the Holy God
No tongue can tell
His endless wonders
Here I am
My hands held high
And I can’t help
But fall before You, Lord

I Want To Be Free
04:57
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I’m in a hole
A holy pit
Full of my self-righteousness
I grasp the wall
, I try to flee
But no one takes their pity on me
Verse 2:
Torrential pride
Hangs over my life
Dealing out its endless strife
It entices me, it pulls me in
And I fall prey to its ways again
Chorus 1:
Why do you struggle so?
What do you hope to find?
What did you have in mind?
Where are you going?
Can you change anything?
Why are you climbing?
"
I want to be free!"
Verse 3:
There is a cause
That I find just
To return this world to its highest trust
That men might see
The hand of God
And in His presence bow in awe!
Chorus 2:
Why do I struggle so?
What do I hope to find?
What did I have in mind?
Where am I going?
Can I change anything?
Why am I climbing?
Bridge:
Because they’re crying out…
"I want to be free!
I want to be free!"
Oh God, make us free!
Oh God, make us free!
Oh God, make us free!
I want to be free…
Ending:
I remember the way
You showed me Your grace
You brought me new life
And I never want to try
To outdo Your love
To say You’re not enough
But please, take all of me
Into Your hands
And show me Your plan
And please, send forth Your word
Capture our hearts
And hear our plea…
"I want to be free"
I want to be free

Verse 1:
Come, Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Verse 2:
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood
Verse 3:
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
