"God+"

What is
What is the one thing you hold onto
And what should you
And what is
What is the one exception
That keeps you from perfection
And could you let it go

I have all that I need
Right here with me
Right here with me
So why am I still looking
Why am I still looking

Where is
The comfort that you run to
And do your hopes all come true
Where is
The place of your affection
And would you seek correction
If you knew you needed to

I have all that I need
Right here with me
Right here with me
So why am I still looking
Why am I still looking

The tendency to run
And come undone
When faced with the mistakes
What I become
But You
You are more than just a sum
You're the only One

"Decisions"

I've got these big decisions
That I have got to make
Lord give me the vision
Not to make the same mistakes

Cause I've been on a mission
Not to fall too far away
Yet I falter by condition
I still fail you every day

And I
Just want to do what's right
Point me
In the direction that's right

I've got these inhibitions
That haunt my very being
Visible conditions
That I place on the unseen

Give me intuition
Give me everything I need
The path toward fruition
Sprouting fruit from this dead tree
Like spring

And I
Just want to do what's right
Point me
In the direction that's right

I've got these big ambitions
These decisions supersede
Take the compass arrow
Point it onto You from me

"The Business of Forgiveness"

Suit and tie, your suit to die
Your birthday suit is hung up dry
And fried in the Egyptian sun
To stand before the Sanhedrin
And eye to eye with executives
Who execute your relatives
And all who keep your practices
Your business, they don't practice it

To all the humble and the proud
A stumbling block placed in the crowd
They'll either fall or follow it
Based upon their prerequisites
Of self awareness or self esteem
If they subscribe to the lie of the pyramid scheme
Up the corporate ladder of success
A stairway to heaven without forgiveness

You're in the business
You're in the business of forgiveness
You're in the business
You're in the business of forgiveness

A not so casual good Friday
Saw a failing company, said "let's try it my way"
Throwing rocks at the business model that you made
A code of conduct for the world and the working place
At our nine to fives, eyes on the ticking clock
Signs of the times and the dipping stocks
He who has not wasted company time
Take your spot at the front of the unemployment line

You're in the business
You're in the business of forgiveness
You're in the business
You're in the business of forgiveness

The Chief Executive Officer
Stepped down from his position to make a peace offer
To all the wicked ways of the working man
Demoted himself to promote us in
Took a pay cut so that we could all have jobs
So we wouldn't sit at home like ungrateful slobs
So pick up your cross, cause it's a team project
Got a complaint with the boss then feel free to lodge it
And work through the sick days to earn vacation hours
Incentives redeemed, unseen that won't sour
Cause we've all been malpracticers convicted of fraud
But we've been bought out by a holy God

"Suicide"

Why am I doing this
I am a masochist
The pleasure and the pain
Of willful unwillingness
Cold disobedience
That always ends the same

Why, do I try
To distance, to distance myself from life?
Do I try
To distance, to distance myself from light?

Lost in the catacombs
Broken and all alone
I do this to myself
And it hurts like hell
Death of a hollow shell
Yet I still don't ask for help

Why, do I try
To distance, to distance myself from life?
Do I try
To distance, to distance myself from light?

Falling on my knees
Remove these suicidal tendencies
Fighting back the air to breathe
The one thing that I need

Why, do I try
To distance, to distance myself from life?
Do I try
To distance, to distance myself from light?
Why, do I try
To distance, to distance myself from truth?
Do I try
To distance, to distance myself from You?

"Testimonial"

It's all hypothetical
Up in the cloud
A thought, idea, a notion
A dull and numbing sound
But rapidly, this rhapsody
From a heart that hope has found
Is rising, bringing up more life
Than the tune we're humming now

Is there evidence in experience
A personal account
Can relevance trump reverence
Relieving us of doubt
Oh, I believe in the words
Because they first occurred
Because they first occurred

We will question every question
Explain, express, expound
We have poured over these scriptures
Believing in them life is found
But the Words of Life don't stop outright
In books, their meaning bound
When you see the face and see the change
Is when the glory sounds

Is there evidence in experience
A personal account
Can relevance trump reverence
Relieving us of doubt
Oh, I believe in the words
Because they first occurred
Because they first occurred

"What Light"

She lives in sanctuary
I live outside
Gazing up at her
From windowside
I've drawn imaginary
Dotted silver lines
Dividing her aloft from me
On separated sides

She grew up in a monastery
I, in the cold
In different cities, different schools
Different homes
Like a bishop to a beggar
Cast gold to sticks and stones
What have I to offer
That you don't already own

I don't deserve you
I don't deserve your love
I don't deserve you
I don't deserve your love

She sits on a balcony
I, on the streets
Wondering how far a climb
Until she's within reach
In little, small decisive steps
The means our ends could meet
But if the goal ends at her glory
Then I'll always lie beneath

So I'll compare you to a rose
Your cheeks like petals when they blush
I'll compare you to the rising sun
But we both know light doesn't come from us
No

I don't deserve You
I don't deserve Your love
I don't deserve You
I don't deserve Your love

"Hide From The Sun"

Blinded by a dim reflection

Too much for these dim eyes

Even in the cloudy skies

I will hide from the sun

I will hide from the sun

We have never seen perfection

Would it be too much to bear

To bring to light where we were unaware

And I wonder of this dim projection

Reflecting, where did it begin?

Is perfection at its origin?

I will hide from the sun

I will hide from the sun

I don't know why

I will hide from the sun

I will hide from the sun
