"Invisible"

Blurring all the lines inside my head
I can't decide if this is really happening
Falling down just like before I was so sure
That this was different now

Yeah, time can pass
But feelings never do
Clinging on to a fiction
When I'm begging for the truth

[chorus]
How long can I stay invisible
Before I disappear
How long can I hold it inside
Till it's all made clear
I wanna turn this inside out
Show the world what it's about
But they don't hear

A crippled man can stand for only so long
Before his scars remind him that the past exists
It's hard enough to run, even harder to remain
Going face to face with chances that he missed

Guard my heart
Keep it safe inside this cage
Before it breaks apart
And bleeds itself onto the page

[chorus]
How long can I stay invisible
Before I disappear
How long can I hold it inside
Till it's all made clear
I want to turn this inside out
Show the world what it's about
But they don't hear

I wish that they could see
That all these words get in the way
Of what I'm really trying to say
Will the truth ever escape
Before I finally fade away

"Today"

Today is a day for building
For lifting my cup and refilling
My life with Your blessings
That I keep forgetting
Today is a day for building

My heart is a bluebird in flight
The sun bursting out of the night
A fiery explosion
Of joyful emotion
My heart is a bluebird in flight

Your eyes reveal an endless world of song
That's carried me these seventeen years strong
I'm captive in these battles
When my sins leave me shackled
Been battling the numbness for so long

My Lord is a triumphant savior
A loving and magnificent creator
Dismantling my sin
So He can build me up again
My Lord, I thank You for Your loving labors

Today is a day to destroy
To give up all my plots, my plans, my ploys
And finally begin
To let You lift me up again
For You alone to be my hope and joy

"The Only Good In Me"

Phrases laced with my intentions
That only seem to spark dissension
Convince myself the words are true
I'm tired of these masked manipulations
Worn for control over situations
What is it I'm trying to do?

Every word that comes out
Is another lie I shout
Trying to show myself
In a better light to someone else

[chorus]
The only thing I know is true
Is that the only good in me is You
There's nothing more I have to prove
Because the good in me is all from You

Painted walls of pure deception
Looking for outside reception
While I am trapped within it all
Intentional or not, I see
All the desperate selfishness I weave
My victories preceed the fall

And even the words I say right now
Are scraping for some good within the bowels
Of the darkened depths of who I am
A speck of dust that You made man
I strive so hard to show my best
When it's all but nothingness
Take the dirt in me and make it shine for You

[chorus]
The only thing I know is true
Is that only good in me is You
I've got nothing left for me to lose
Because the good in me is all from You

So dark in me, so bright from You
The only light that's shining through

"Brighten the World"

Sitting alone on this hilltop
Waiting for the world to disappear
I confess that I'm a mess without you near
Still wondering when the lonely tears stop
Wondering why I'm so consumed by fear
That the world won't look the same without her here

So many walls I've built between
The one I love and me
I've grown cold being here on my own
I need the light so I can see

[chorus]
Set free
All the brokenness inside of me
I've been so far away
Break through
Like the morning light, I'll wait for you
To brighten my world

Sinking beneath all my sorrows
All the things I've tried to hold on to
I'm so desperate just to feel one thing that's true
Searching for hope in tomorrow
When I know I can find it here and now
In the arms of Grace that cover me somehow

I won't let this place so filled with hate
Dictate what I can do
You have the power to change my world if I let you
Will I let you

[chorus]
Set free
All this brokenness inside of me
I've been so far away
Break through
Like the morning light, I'll wait for you
To brighten my world

Peel away the layers till you get to the core
Push against the current till you reach the shore (x3)

[chorus]
Set free
All this brokenness inside of me
I've been so far away
Break through
Like the morning light, I'll shine for you
To brighten the world
To brighten my world

"Arms Around You"

Where is there hopelessness
Where is there lonliness
In God?
Where is there anxiety
Where is there worry
In God?

Perfectly powerful
Perfectly true
Keeps his word
To always keep you

[chorus]
Arms around you
He's got His arms around you
Carrying you through this storm we call this life
So hold on tight, and know He'll never leave your side
He's got His arms around you

Where is there fearfulness
Where is there any unrest
In God?
Before your enemies, prepares a feast
A house of everlasting peace
In God, have peace in God

So why do you worry, oh child?
For God is in you

[chorus]
Arms around you
He's got His arms around you
Carrying you through the storm we call this life
So hold on tight, and know he'll never leave your side
He's got His arms around you

So lift your hands
And fall apart
Release the fear
That's in your heart
For love dispells
Even the darkest parts
Rest in His

[chorus]
Arms around you
He's got his arms around you
Carrying you through the storm we call this life
So hold on tight, and know He'll never leave your side
He's got His arms around you

"Dethrone Me"

This world is growing dimmer
Strength is wearing thinner
Can you feel it
Integrity is a dying art
Nobody cares about who they are
Just how they appear

Let's get back to the heart
Back to where it all starts

Our chances are getting slimmer
A world engulfed by hopeless sinners
Do you see it
When we make this about us
Who else is there left to trust
We've seen the worst already in ourselves

[chorus]
I don't wanna be my own god anymore
The needs I try to satisfy
Always end up running dry
And leave me empty, crying out for more
No more self-serving, truth perverting
Hollowness of this idolatry
Dethrone me

My heart is growing weary
I cry out, but no one hears me
Don't know who I'm pleading to
When the strength I've had has been my own
And I feed it from a hand-made throne
The flame will smolder inside me

Let's get back to the heart
Get back to where it all starts

[chorus]
I don't wanna be my own god anymore
The needs I try to satisfy
Always end up running dry
And leave me empty, crying out for more
No more self-serving, truth perverting
Hollowness of this idolatry
Dethrone me

[bridge]
Cast down
Cast down
Falling
On my knees
Will you break me

[chorus]

"With You"

If I were in that crowd
I would have mocked you just as loud
As all the wicked and the proud
'Cause that was me

If I were in that place
I would have shunned your broken face
Without a morsel of disgrace
'Cause that was me

[chorus]
Before I knew your mercy
That you did it all for me
To live eternally with you
Before I knew your love
And all the pain you'd overcome
To come and lift me up with you

I'm no more worthy here today
Than the day that I was saved
Yeah, I still need your grace
'Cause I'm still me

[chorus]
And now I know your mercy
That you did it all for me
To live eternally with you
And now I know your love
All the pain you had to overcome
To come and lift me up with you

And all of our hands are bloodstained
We all hung you there as one, yet you love us all the same
Yeah you love us all the same

[chorus]
Now I know your mercy
That you did it all for me
To spend eternity with you
Now I know your love
All the pain you'd overcome
To come and lift me up
To come and lift me up with you

"Blindness"

Distant shapes
I can barely feel
Trying to touch
Whatever's real
Reaching out
Across our planes
To see the things
I can't explain

I want to live
Without these eyes to guide me
Dispense these senses
At a place where you can find me
Alone in the dark
Disabled from the things that blind me
To know what does exist
From the faith that is inside me

All the things
That I can see
Stumbling blocks
For eternity
What will last
And what remains
Are veiled behind
This picture frame

I want to live
Without these eyes to guide me
Dispense these senses
At a place where you can find me
Alone in the dark
Disabled from the things that blind me
And know what does exist
From the faith that is inside me

Dispense these senses
Come and find me
With truth and revelations blinding
In darkness you will be
The only light I see

I want to live
Without these eyes to guide me
Dispense these senses
Come and find me
Alone in the dark
Disabled from the things that blind me
To know the world exists
Not because of my own understanding
