"Just Like You Said"

I feel grace
When I'm in a lonely place
And my heart is scattered all across the floor
It's bittersweet
A weight lifted off my feet
To hear You say "let's give it just one more"

[chorus]
And You lift me up again
You brush me off again
Just like You said You would
Just like You said

I feel lost
When I don't see the way across
I lose my faith to wander in the dark
And it's not till I
Find my way back to Your side
That I get a glimpse of just how right You are

[chorus]
And You lift me up again
And You brush me off again
Just like You said You would
Just like You said

[instrumental]

It's not too late to turn around
Though my mistakes like to convince me otherwise
Broken and stranded, yet I'm not left empty handed
'Cause in Your voice, I know there is no disguise

[chorus]
And You lift me up again
And You brush me off again
And You're digging deep again
To pull out the foolishness within
Just like You said You would
Just like You said

Just like You said You would
Just like You said

"Let the Bullets Fly"

Didn't take much to set you off this time
You've got your gunmen in a line
Ready, aim, not backing down this time
Let the bullets fly
Let the bullets fly

You can't keep your arms out of my life
You've made it clear you want a fight
And I know it's my turn to decide
So let the bullets fly
Let the bullets fly

[chorus]
Walls close on every side
Trying to steal my breath, my life
Let the truth ring out into the sky
If it's a war you want then
Let the bullets fly

The light is searching for a place to shine
Out of the cracks in this heart of mine
Still caught pretending that the world is fine
You open up my eyes
When the bullets fly

Better bet there will be a fight
When the damned hear of the Divine
You can push me with all your might
Go ahead and try
Let the bullets fly

[chorus]
Walls close on every side
Trying to steal my breath, my life
Let the truth ring out into the sky
If it's war you want then
Let the bullets fly

Let the tides wash over
Let the bullets spray
Let your armies build
I will be okay
Let the walls close in
Let the towers fall
Love is my only ally
And Love conquers all

[chorus]

"Separation Anxiety"

I was broken from the start
Had a hole left in my heart
Not a glint of good in me
A dark and hopeless tragedy
Yeah, I was broken from the start

Oooooooh, oooooooh

I hid away and sought the night
With broken bones I tried to fight
Nothing to hold me back
And save me from this heart attack
My life was such a hopeless sight

[chorus]
Until Your light broke through
The day that I found You
With all of Your love displayed
How can I turn away?

They tried to keep me in the dark
Set traps to keep us both apart
Kept me in comatose
So numb I'd never feel You close
And see how beautiful You are

Oooooooh, oooooooh

Each generation reaps the cost
A broken bridge that we can't cross
Our broken hands can't build
A single step toward being filled
Our hearts were mended on a cross

[chorus]
The day Your light broke through
The day that I found You
With all of Your love displayed
How could I turn away

[instrumental]

[breakdown]
This is our inheritance
Our seed of disobedience
That keeps us torn, we were born like this
This is the tension, we live in it

[chorus]
Your light broke through
The day that I found You
With all of Your love displayed
How could I turn away
Your light broke through
The day that I found You
With all of Your love displayed
Why do I still turn away?

"One Man"

Flesh and blood
A child among men
A brother among sons

Hope begun
Like a story beginning
A new tapestry spun

[chorus]
One man, one man
That's all it took
One man, one man
To save a world of crooks

Footsteps
With feet to accomplish
Every breath with a purpose

Undeserved
The weight of our misdeeds
All cast upon your head

[chorus]
One man, one man
That's all it took
One man, one man
To save a world of crooks
One man, one man
To tear the wall apart
One man, one man
To enter in the heart

Why would you die for us?
Why would you die for us?
Have you seen the way, we trade love away
For wickedness
Why would you die for us?
Why would you die for us?
With our filthy hands we don't deserve to stand
In Your presence

"Guarded"

I'm an open book again
And everyone can see the pages
Tried to keep it all contained
But instead it spreads, contagious

I could bite my tongue
I could shut my mouth
But the truth still finds a way
Of getting out

[chorus]
Shut my heart away
Keep these thoughts at bay
Before they're all out on display
Should have stopped before I started
Before I forgot where my heart is
Keep it close, yeah keep it guarded
Next to You

I've let it slip again
As everyone leans in to listen
I never wanted this to leak out
Thought I'd be safe if I didn't speak out

I could bite my tongue
I could shut my mouth
But my heart still finds a way
Of spilling out

[chorus]
Shut my heart away
Keep these thoughts at bay
Before they're all out on display
Should have stoppped before I started
Before I forgot where my heart is
Keep it close, yeah keep it guarded
Next to You

I want to get it right
You know I do
And I've failed so many times before
I just wanna be sure
That the place and time
Are all defined by You

"Now"

Now is the time to make the choice
Now that I can finally hear Your voice
When my thoughts are so caught up in the past
This moment's all I really know I have

[chorus]
Cause I know someday I'll be leaving this life
With everything and nothing at the same time
Sure I'm scared of leaving
But I'm alive and I'm still breathing right
Now

Now, the peace outshines the doubt
Now that I know all I've been without
My questions, I'm letting them all go
Not worried about what the future holds
Cause You let me

[chorus]
Know that someday I'll be leaving this life
With everything and nothing at the same time
Sure I'm scared of leaving
But I'm alive and I'm still breathing right
Now

I'm alive
I'm alive
Right now

"I Can't Escape"

I would never try to run
I'd never try to hide
If there wasn't a war
Going on the inside

I would never try to flee
The goodness of your grace
If I wasn't so consumed
By the weight of my disgrace

[chorus]
And I can hear You calling now
But I'm too scared to turn around
Break my legs, drag me back to You
If that's what it takes to break through

I'm calling in the night
Like I'm waiting for the day
I only seem to need You
When my world begins to sway

I'm a mess without Your love
I'm blind without Your sight
Help to guide my footsteps
So I'm walking in Your light

[chorus]

I can't escape
I can't escape Your love

"I Hate Not Knowing"

Questions keeping me up all night
Thoughts and feelings I can't decide
I don't know what to think anymore
Don't know what to believe anymore

I wish the answer was clear as day
A shining light above my dismay
So I can point it out, there it is
The only question is where it is

[chorus]
My mind is running wild
Where do the answers lie
Caught somewhere between
The breath before I dive
I hate not knowing
I hate not knowing
Can you show me

I lose a part of my heart each day
I never mean it to slip away
Cashing in on short-sighted goals
That dig me into a deeper hole

And from the bottom I'm crying out
Phrased as questions and lonely doubts
When you've removed all of my sin
Can you make me whole again?

[chorus]
My mind is running wild
Where do the answers lie
Caught somewhere between
The breath before I dive
I hate not knowing
I hate not knowing
I hate not knowing
Can you show me

[instrumental]

[chorus]

"Keep Me"

Let not my eyes decieve me
And let not my memories grieve me
Now
It's coming down

And give me the strength to see through
All that I never would do
Now
It's all around

[chorus]
Would You keep me
Would You keep me
Close to You
Cause I am breaking
I am breaking
In two

Waking up from a bad dream
And I'm too afraid of sleeping
Now
Don't wanna drown

Keep calling to the heavens
My ears too deaf to listen
Now
Through all the sound

[chorus]
Would You keep me
Would You keep me
Close to You
Cause I'm breaking
Yeah I'm breaking
In two

Your arms, a haven from the things that harm me
Your love, it stretches so much further than I see
And Your heart, is reaching out
You're reaching out for me

[chorus]
Would You keep me
Would You keep me
Close to You
Cause I'm breaking
I'm breaking in two

"Amnesia"

I don't know who I am anymore
Can't remember who I was before
Or if I was any better then
What did I do wrong along the way
That made it so I couldn't stay
Aware in the present

[chorus]
Who am I
Who am I
I can't seem to let questions in me die
Where am I
Where am I
I don't know how I got into this place I lie
Or how I'm getting out alive

I washed up on a distant place
Saw my reflection, didn't recognize my face
Or the person underneath
Overcome by a gnawing fear
What if I never get out of here?
What if I never find my missing piece?

[chorus]
Who am I
Who am I
I can't seem to let these questions in me die
Where am I
Where am I
Don't know how I got into this place I lie
Or how I'm getting out alive

I hear a voice
And it's whispering
This isn't who you are, just what you're capable of
This isn't who you are, just what you're capable of
This isn't who you are, just what you're capable of
When you forget love
