Jesus The Warrior

You see my blood and sweat and tears
I have poured on the ground before you.
Take everything.
Blood and sweat and tears,
you have poured on the ground before me,
When you gave everything.

I have lived this war too long.
Come and take everything.
I have lived in sin too long.
Come and take everything.
I release it all, finally.

Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you. Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all to you. Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you. Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all.

You fight for me when I can't fight for myself.

This battle is not mine, but the battle belongs to the Lord.
This battle is not mine, but the battle belongs to the Lord.
So, I am no slave to this broken flesh, because you gave me hope.
I am no slave to this broken flesh, because you are my hope.
I am no slave to this broken flesh--that man has died.
I am a free man!

Under the blood, I rise.
Redeemed, I stand;
Carried back from hell by your nail-scarred hands.
And now I'm free. You broke my chains and you gave me the key.
So I bow to show you, that you are everything to me.

Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All to you, I give it all to you.
Finally, I surrender.
All I am, I owe it all to you.

Inside Your Heart

Oh I miss you my dear
And how I wish that you were here
My heart is a mess when you're gone
I wish I were wrong..

Your smile, your laugh, your touch
I think I may miss you too much
But when you're in town it's like my heart comes around
We're just two kids waiting to be found

Oh how I hope you still know how much I love you
My words can't express but I'm doing my best
To show you, to show you


Home is where you are.
Home is inside your heart.
Home is where you are, when I'm with you.


Your smile, your laugh, your touch
I think I may miss you too much
But when you're in town it's like my heart comes around
We're just two kids waiting to be found

Home is where you are.
Home is inside your heart.
Home is where you are, when I'm with you.

Oh these nights are so cold
When I'm left alone with no hands to hold
No love to keep me warm.

But then I see your face
I run to find your sweet embrace
And your warmth removes my cold

Home is where you are.
Home is inside your heart.
Home is where you are, when I'm with you.

carbon ribs

A Thousand pairs of firey eyes
Burn like a serpent down the hwy 5
As the Long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds
I've got resurrection down in side my skin
But for all my revealating
I just cant make sense
Of this gravity we're in

Cause I'm a dead man now with a ghost who lives
Within the confines of these carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free
I will sit
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side

A thousand miles of pain I'm sure
Led you to the threshold of my hearts screen door
To tell me what it is I'm dying for
Gravity comes like a cold cold rain
To lead me to the rope again
But someone is standing in my place

Cause I'm a dead man now with a ghost who lives
Within the confines of these carbon ribs
And one day when I'm free I will sit
The cripple at your table
The cripple by your side

And I sit beside you

And I sit beside you

Wake My Soul

If Could Just Breathe for a Moment,
confined to my thoughts, for my tongue fails to speak.
I look on, as you hold the world in your eyes and my heart in your hands.
let us be, and remain, with love as a prize and the door we step through
to this life so abundant and these cares far from worry.
rise up love and take your victory, to reign in my heart
with strength enough for the weary and dreams in abundance.

Wake My Soul,
rise up and meet your advasary.
stike down hate and all that he is,
defeat the emptiness with a fullness unknown.

My God Wake My Bones,
start a fire unmatched and a fury unleashed.
set it loose in this broken state I've come to..

Revival is in My Fingertips.

the weight of character

The sun sets in the midst of my heart,
and as the night falls I look to the heavens,
the stars confined to your eyes.
In the most sound part of who I am,
I know that you are good.
You walk in beauty, as if the morning,
as the sun breaks across the horizon,
and in these moments I find myself enthralled by you.


so I've been thinking recently that honesty and integrity have so much weight in the influence of a persons character, so much power in the way that we live, and in the amount of joy we can contain.
and at a certain point, we reach a place where our ability to contain joy reaches it's peak and it starts over flowing into the lives of the people we surround ourselves with.

why do I profess to the fact that I am broken
while pretending that it actually means I've got it together?
I think I just realized that I don't and it may seem weird
that I actually had to think it out like that..
but I guess it never really seemed that clear to me


weird..

so yeah, I'm pretty broken
but God is rebuilding the parts in me that weren't right
he replaces my wrong with his right
and if it means I need to brake
then I hope I am consistently broken

broken and rebuilt.


man, I can't wait for something great to come from these hands

waiting.

I'm listening for her
In the wind through the trees
In the calm and the dark
With the stars and my heart.
Her eyes like the sunset
Full of beauty and flames,
Pour out oceans of fire
From my hands to my dreams.
Overwhelmed by her grace
And her unfailing hope,
I see a life that runs deeper than
The roots of the soul,
Making home in the hearts
In the midst of the seas
That could never be lost
While she stays here with me.
