Running from
All of this
Running to
What I’ve missed
While I chased
Down those dreams
I lost track
Of reality
Running away
Enough of that
Every time
I come back
I lost control
I gave it away
Used my freewill
To become a slave
It’s easy to see
I need Your love
To be the only thing I can’t get enough of
Some for you
The rest for me
Just trying to be
……..Happy
In the dream
I put my heart
Turned out to be
A house of cards
We’re all making
Our own way
You sold your soul
To win the day
When it’s time
To meet the grave
You’re going out
With what you came
Enough of me
I want Your love
To be the only thing I can’t get enough of
The less that I have
The more of You I need
The less that I am
The more of You there can be
The less that I have
The more of You I need
The less that I am
The more of You there can be
The crossroads
Right or left
But I know
Which way is best
The sirens song
I fight the flesh
I push on
Straight ahead
No more of this
Because Your love
Is the only thing I can’t get enough of
Your truth
Your light
Your way
To be the only thing I can’t get enough of
Your word
Your love
Your grace
To be the only thing I can’t get enough of

Help Me

Can I run from where I’m from
Into where I’m born to that do I belong
Am I free to be something I am not
Can I change the words to this twisted song
How can I find my way to You
When all I see around me is denial of Your truth
How can a man separate loyalty and lies
And see through this master of disguise
God, You can help me
God, You can help me
God, You can help me
God, You can help me
God, You can help me
God, You can help me
These imperfections you will find
Behind my sin is where they tend to hide
The path I’ve chosen holds me back and holds me down
Pride tastes bitter and I won’t change now
God, You can help me
God, You can help me
God, You can help me
I know You are the Author of life
And for my sins Jesus died
He rose again and He robbed the grave
And by His name I am saved
When did this life lose its charm
When do a child’s dreams lead them to harm
What was never real has become reality
When my lips touched the flame of ecstasy
God, You can help me
God, You can help me
God, You can help me

Over and Over Again
03:22
|
|||
|
You lied and cheated all involved
The ground is shaky where you walk
Pull a string and it all falls
Now you’ve got nothing
You say you’re done with all this mess
While the same trap has been set
You can’t say no just yet
Maybe this is the one
What have you done with all your time
Of all the things that you have tried
One thing you’ve always denied
Over and over again
Once a week you put on your mask
You wouldn’t stand under the glass
You please the darkness when you please man
Now who is laughing
Try to be as good as one can
At least better than another man
This is all we’ll ever have
No righteousness of our own
What have you done with all your time
Of all the things that you have tried
One thing you’ve always denied
Over and over again
What have you done with all your time
Of all the things that you have tried
One thing you’ve always denied
Over and over again

Thorn in My Flesh
05:34

Good morning Lord
Another fine day
To spend with You
And sing You praise
We’ve grown so close
It was meant to be
But why does the devil
Still have a hold on me
A thorn in my flesh
That’s what they say
Something to remind you
Of your need to be saved
You’ll be able to stand
Up under the weight
This feels like more
Than any man can take
O Lord I come
On my knees once again
Full of shame and sin
A fallen man
I’ve done this in Your sight
From You I cannot hide
Stay with me, please don’t go
You are my hope
This world it grabs you
Through no fault of your own
Coming to Jesus
We let it all go
All these temptations
I lay at Your feet
Then why does the devil
Still have a hold on me
A thorn in my flesh
That’s what they say
Something to remind you
Of your need to be saved
You’ll be able to stand
Up under the weight
This feels like more
Than any man can take

Fill Me Up
04:45
|
|||
|
Lord, I come
Empty handed
Nothing worthy
I can bring
A broken people
Your understanding
Of Your mercy
We will sing
Lord, I come
An empty vessel
Drained of life
From the battle
Bow down Your ear
Your servant’s calling
For up to You, Lord
I lift my soul
Fill me up With the Spirit
Fill me up with Your love
I am strengthened when I’m in it
Fill me up with the Word of God
When the morning
Sun awakes
Rising only
By Your grace
Who am I, Lord
That I can wake
To sing You praises
And bless Your name
Lord, I come
In full submission
Kneeling before You
Without condition
Lord, I seek
Your holy ways
Of Your will
I’m not ashamed
Fill me up With the Spirit
Fill me up with Your love
I am strengthened when I’m in it
Fill me up with the Word of God

Testify
04:10

Drowned in pain
I cannot change
A life defined by sin
The choices I’ve made
Have tied me in chains
And I do it all over again
Yesterday haunts my dreams
Every tomorrow it’s waiting for me
I need light, I need peace
Set me free, is my debt to steep
No regret
Until You I met
The valley was my land
I hang my head
For the darkness I spread
Lord forgive this broken man
I heard Your call but I never came
Was it my choice, or was it fate?
In Your time it’s never too late
Great rewards for a little faith
Act of faith
Blessed by grace
The darkness pierced by light
A gift was served
That did not deserve
I shouldn’t have the right
Who am I that You considered me
Foolishly blind but now I see
Thank You Jesus, You set me free
In Your love, I am free
The desires of our hearts
You discern
Because sometimes there are no words
The Father’s love
Reigning from above
Is healing on the earth
There is no chain You cannot break
There is no cage we cannot escape
There is no man You cannot save
By Your undeniable and amazing grace
I’ve been justified
I have seen the light
I have testified
I’ve been justified
I have seen the light
I have testified

Run to You
05:18
|
|||
|
Powerless
Holding on to him
Into a thousand pieces
My heart had broken
How could I stand
Under the weight of my own failure
I reached for the hand
Of my redeeming Savior
I will run to You, my God
I will run to You, my Strength
I will cling to You
Through the Spirit that’s in me
Now and forever
Forever and ever
When tragedy comes
You’re unable to breath
We’re being pulled under
And drowned by the waves of the deep
You can’t see a light
There’s no end in sight
Cling to the Son
There is nothing He left undone
I will run to You, my God
I will run to You, my Strength
I will cling to You
Through the Spirit that’s in me
Now and forever
Forever and ever
When tomorrow comes
And everything has changed
And all you really want
Is for something to feel the same
The beams are broken
The walls are cracked through
Remember where you stand
The rock has not been moved
I will run to You, my God
I will run to You, my Strength
I will cling to You
Through the Spirit that’s in me
Now and forever
Forever and ever
I will run to You, my God
I will run to You, my Strength
I will cling to You
Through the Spirit that’s in me
Now and forever
Forever and ever

They have all gone astray
No one knows Me
Playing the prostitute
With liars and thieves
To the ends of the earth
The Lord will roar from on high
From nation to nation
The whirlwind will rise
Walking through this dessert
And we cant’ find relief
Been here forever and we’re still
Looking for peace
We came from the mountain top
Where we walked with God
We turned our backs and walked away
Now our cities burn with fire
Sacrifice your children
To the flames of your desire
To the god of self and choice
Dedicate your voice
Stake your claim to your rights
But that don’t make it right
The silent voice won’t embrace your choice
And our cities burn with fire
Lord have mercy
On our nation
Give us hearts to speak of
Your salvation
The precious Son on the cross
Who died so none need be lost
But death would not have victory
For when the stone was rolled away
Their eyes beheld an empty grave
Fires burn in the night
Fueled by the Word of God
Judgement faces every man
Like it or not
In our struggle to find truth
We’ve rejected it outright
A nation once blessed by God
Whose cities burn with fire
A house divided cannot stand
And how great is the divide
Behind the signs and slogans
The true agenda hides
Darkened hearts cannot find truth
And never tire of the lies
Sincerity becomes insanity
As our cities burn with fire
Lord have mercy
On our nation
Give us hearts to speak of
Your salvation
The precious Son on the cross
Who died so none need be lost
But death would not have victory
For when the stone was rolled away
Their eyes beheld an empty grave
