LYRICS VAULT

one case where seeing is believing

Looking For A Lamb

belligerents

gather to the field of war

at the end of days

it's time to settle the score

we've got a problem, honey

you're stuck here in denial

this building's burning down

and there's only one way out

no time left for fake smiles

no time to play church no more

wolves leading sheep to slaughter

and they lead you single file

with a smile on their face

and they're still looking for a Lamb

and He's coming back a Lion

In flame and fire

I wonder if they'll recognize Him

before the sword is in His hand

before the glass slips it's last sand

they think if they join the beast

he'll devour them last

I wonder if they'll know it's Him

they wander for feelings and myths

they look for a Lamb

and they're getting a Lion

but it's not too late

to change our ways

tear the wool from your eyes

it's decision time

tell me baby what will it be

heaven or hell

what will it be

tell me baby what will it be

heaven or hell

what will it be

and they're still looking for a Lamb

and He's coming back a Lion

in flame and fire

I wonder if they'll recognize Him

before the sword is in His hand

before the glass slips it's last sand

who could hide from the eyes of God

from the eyes of the Maker

of heaven and earth

tell me who

who can hide from the eyes of God

from the eyes of the Maker

of heaven and earth

tell me who

who can hide from the eyes of God

from the eyes of the Maker

Of heaven and earth

Tell me who

they're still looking for a Lamb

and He's coming back a Lion

in flame and fire

I wonder if they'll recognize Him

before the sword is in His hand

before the glass slips it's last sand

there is only one true King of kings

and every knee will bow

every tongue give account

for what they've done

he said heaven and earth would pass away

but my words by no means shall ever fade

away

1985

I hope heaven's like 1985

drop top red firebird parked outside

I'd lose myself in the pastel skies

underneath the palm trees and the starlight

and the Son will shine

in a thousand years every tear will dry

where we are going we will need no light

everyone has their own idea in mind

but I just want it to be 1985

don't tell me it's over

you'll never convince me

my idea of heaven

is eighties eternally

I hope heaven's like 1985

where the Son is bright

and the night is filled with neon light

don't try and dismiss me

or call me juvenile

why don't we go for a ride

to 1985

there's a sparkle that's still in my eye

left over from the best decade in time

dystopia's got my head spinning from the lies

we've got to leave 1984 behind

don't tell me it's over

you'll never convince me

my idea of heaven, yeah

don't tell me it's over

because I was born to dream

when I close my eyes

I see it

don't you see it?

I hope heaven's like 1985

where the Son is bright

and the night is filled with neon light

don't try and dismiss me

or call me juvenile

why don't we go for a ride

to 1985

1985

Running My Mouth

Do I have to scream

Put down the bottle

It's pain you hide

and you multiply sorrow

I've been around

once or twice

and I've seen enough

you're half blind

This ain't about

settlin' scores

You have an insatiable

Craving for more

Get your life off the bar floor

I said

Get your life off the bar floor

You'll have to forgive me

If you think I'm running my mouth

Cuz I ain't buyin'

What you're selling everyone else

Honestly

I've had enough

And this is what it sounds like

Yeah they'll call you crazy

But you gotta be brave

Misery loves company

That's what they say

Cuz I'm climbing out once again

From the hole the devil put me in

And he's running out of time

Ha-ha

Get ready for the fight of your life

You'll have to forgive me

If you think I'm running my mouth

Cuz I ain't buyin'

What you're selling everyone else

Honestly

I've had enough

And this is what it sounds like

You'll have to forgive me

If you think I'm running my mouth

Cuz I ain't buyin'

What you're telling everyone else

Honestly

I've had enough

And this is what it sounds like

This is what it sounds like

Don't want to lose you all the same

It only ends up one way

I'd rather offend you

than let you die

I won't give up this time!

Yeah yeah, ow!

You'll have to forgive me

If you think I'm running my mouth

Cuz I ain't buyin'

What you're telling everyone else

Honestly

I've had enough

And this is what it sounds like

You'll have to forgive me

If you think I'm running my mouth

Cuz I ain't buyin'

What you're selling everyone else

Honestly

I've had enough

And this is what it sounds like

this is what it sounds like

Red Letters

I was doing the same things

Since I was seventeen

Tonight I'll wander strange streets

All on my own

Tired of chasing the same dreams

Waiting for a train to arrive

When nothing pulled in the station

My blood ran cold

Suffered humiliation

Trying to be larger than life

Trashed my reputation

All on my own

I don't mean to sound bitter

Sometimes you've gotta fight dirty

I've got every rhyme or reason

To burn out in a joy ride

But when I read The Good Book

I found a well for the thirsty

And there's a reckoning coming

So I'll smile

Cause I don't have to die

Because of Jesus Christ

When I wasn't changing

Mind on the other side

I was sure I was seeing

When I was blind

Just barely hanging

By the thinnest of lines

Clinging to the Rock of Ages

While the storm went wild

I don't mean to sound bitter

Sometimes you've gotta fight dirty

I've got every rhyme or reason

To burn out in a joy ride

But when I read The Good Book

Red Letters on my mind

I found a well for the thirsty

And there's a reckoning coming

So I'll smile

Cause I don't have to die

Because of Jesus Christ

I'm done doing the same things

Since I was seventeen

I don't wander the same streets

Anymore

I don't mean to sound bitter

Sometimes you've gotta fight dirty

I've got every rhyme or reason

To burn out in a joy ride

But when I read The Good Book

Red Letters on my mind

I found a well for the thirsty

And there's a reckoning coming

So I'll smile

Cause I don't have to die

Because of Jesus Christ

No, I don't have to die

Because of Jesus Christ

No, I don't have to die

Because of Jesus Christ

You Are (The Champ)

Once I was roaring for you

Now I'm restless

All my failures haunt me, all over again

Ringing in my head

"you were never good enough"

We're agreed

You are, You are, You are

Now that this game's hit the presses

"Always swinging for the fences"

Nobody's left in the stands

But me and You

Just the way You wanted

So I'd stop scoreboard watching, Yeah

Because it's not my God

YOU ARE, YOU ARE, YOU ARE

LUKE 21:27 KJVER (Sung)

You are the light and Your name is great!

YOU are the champ

and I can hardly play

You took Your ring and gave it away

Slipped it on my hand when we embraced

Jesus, YOU ARE who You say that You are

IT'S NOT A SECRET

Felt Your void in my scars

YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE

JESUS, YOU ARE,

YOU ARE,

WHO YOU ARE!

It's Empty

This place is empty
Everyone has gone away

There's nothing left but folded cloth in the tomb

I heard the people talking

Said that "they got Him"

One even said he saw His hands, feet, and side

That He,

Didn't put up a fight

They just hung Him out to dry

This ain't our messiah

How could He have died?

But He's life and He's life again

And it's just like He said

And He ain't finished yet

Showed His love with sinless blood

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

IT'S STILL EMPTY!

LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

YEAH HE AIN'T THERE

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

YEAH JESUS AIN'T THERE

IT'S STILL EMPTY!

HE'S OUT WALKING AROUND SOMEWHERE!

I can't wrap my head around it

But I know it's true

Five hundred witnesses said their eyes beheld You

and Your Word shined a light in me

When,

I was eighteen

And,

Since then I've seen You move

Change my life like lightning

In the thunder and the rain

Broken heart in a hurricane

And when the clouds went away

I WAS NEVER THE SAME!

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

IT'S STILL EMPTY!

LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

YEAH HE AIN'T THERE

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

YEAH JESUS AIN'T THERE

HE'S OUT WALKING AROUND SOMEWHERE!

And I tried to play the game

Yeah, I tried to stay the same

But there's something about that name

THERE'S NO POINT IN TRYING TO DENY IT

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

IT'S STILL EMPTY!

LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

YEAH HE AIN'T THERE

THE TOMB IS EMPTY!

YEAH JESUS AIN'T THERE

HE'S OUT WALKING AROUND SOMEWHERE!

Illuminate

There's a cross on a blackened hill

Where amber leaves rustle in the wind

Rain washes where the blood was spilled,

where the Savior's life was spent

Dragon's teeth guard the prison cells

Where He marched

Sword in hand

For liberty

Tore down the temple with an offering

The bells rung in victory

Everything You've said is true

Everything You've said is truer than true

YOU CANNOT LIE

You're the Way, the Truth, the Life

And You sing to my soul in the dead of night

Illuminate my way like a white candle light

And You shine,

And You shine

"A word of warning to the warrior,

who wants to come home a king.

You can lead an army with a chariot

BUT THE CROWN YOU MAY NOT KEEP

Only ONE reigns eternally

He who painted the sky and sea

He gave His life in humility,

Took the keys from death and hades"

(Look at all He has done!)

Everything You've said is true

Everything You've said is truer than true

YOU CANNOT LIE

You're the Way, the Truth, the Life

And You sing to my soul in the dead of night

Illuminate my way like a white candle light

And You shine,

And You shine

There is only One

Who reigns forever

There could only be

ONE UNCREATED BEING

JESUS IS THE ONE

Who reigns forever

EVERY EYE WILL SEE
EVERY TONGUE CONFESS

THE KING OF KINGS

There is only One

Who reigns forever

There could only be

ONE UNCREATED BEING

JESUS IS THE ONE

Who reigns forever

EVERY EYE WILL SEE
EVERY TONGUE CONFESS

THE KING OF KINGS

YOU CANNOT LIE

You're the Way, the Truth, the Life

And You sing to my soul in the dead of night

Illuminate my way like a white candle light

And You shine,

And You shine

YAHWEH!

O, I sing to bring You praise

Yahweh,

Yahweh

And You shine and You shine!

Poppy Seeds

The world could quake and crumble

Right beneath my feet

As I continue to contend with suggestions

from a powerless enemy

Every trouble I fear

Is in your hands and you show me

Just poppy seeds

In the lens of Your plan

Just toss em' to the breeze

Till there's nothing left between You and me

Just toss em' to the breeze

Till there's nothing left between You and me

If I slip and stumble

You lift me to my feet

YOURS IS THE ONLY WORD

THAT WILL EVER STAND OVER ME

I want to live for your affections

And turn from the praise of man

Everything outside of You

Just poppy seeds in my hand

Just toss em' to the breeze

Till there's nothing left between You and me

Just toss em' to the breeze

Till there's nothing left between You and me

Cuz' this road is ending

And the story won't last

And it's ending fast

No matter what I hold on to

The semblance of this world could NOT replace You

No matter how hard its tried

No matter what I hold on to

The semblance of this world could NOT replace You

it could NOT replace You

No matter what I hold on to

The semblance of this world could NOT replace You

it could NOT replace You

No matter what I hold on to

The semblance of this world could NOT replace You

it could NOT replace You

We're all crying out Your name

The sea and the skies the same

Every kingdom beneath the waves

Fallen now, is Babylon the great

Even though we tried

Even though I tried

What could wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

What could make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

O, precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow

Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Cuz' this road is ending

And the story won't last

And it's ending fast

No matter what I hold on to

The semblance of this world could NOT replace You

No matter how hard its tried

No matter what I hold on to

The semblance of this world could NOT replace You

it could NOT replace You

No matter what I hold on to

The semblance of this world could NOT replace You

it could NOT replace You

No matter what I hold on to

The semblance of this world could NOT replace You

it could NOT replace You

On The Rock

You're the one

You're the only one

And You've always

Always had my back by putting yours

Upon a heavy splintered cross

By my side

Always by my side

It don't matter

Don't matter any more what people say

Cuz' Lord with You

I've got it made

On The Rock

Where the storms,

They come and go

YOUR WORD REMAINS,

STANDING STRONG

Yesterday, Today the same

Lord, You never change

JESUS, the Name above all names

Beyond the sea

Far beyond the sea

In between

This world and Your eternity

I'm calling out to my King

Where You are

Take me where You are

And consume me

Engulf me in Your majesty

Up to glory

Set my feet

On The Rock

Where the storms,

They come and go

YOUR WORD REMAINS,

STANDING STRONG

Yesterday, Today the same

Lord, You never change

JESUS, the Name above all names

I confess there was a time

I never wanted to know

And then you open my eyes and I see it all

And You're beautiful

And the mystery is no longer one I have to solve

Keep me right where I belong,

On The Rock

Where the storms,

They come and go

YOUR WORD REMAINS,

STANDING STRONG

Yesterday, Today the same

Lord, You never change

JESUS, the Name above all names

JESUS, the Name

Above all names

Watch It Burn

I've got questions

That I thought would be answered in time

And all of this frustration is cuz'

The will getting done ain't mine

Well, as usual

I'm late to the party

It's the story of my life

Better to take these thoughts that kill

And toss em' on the fire

And watch em' burn

Yeah, I will find my freedom

When I let your Spirit burn

Yeah, I will find my peace when

I let your Spirit burn

What's inside of me

In the middle of summer

Where I just lay on the beach all night

Where all my tribulations are rendered small in the starlight

Well, as usual, I can't end the party

I'm having the time of my life

Better to take these thoughts that kill

And just sit in this moment quiet

And watch em' burn

Yeah, I'll watch em' burn

Just watch em' burn

Yeah, I'll watch em' burn

Yeah, I will find my freedom

When I let your Spirit burn

Yeah, I will find my peace when

I let your Spirit burn

What's inside of me

IT'S NOT A SECRET

As he thinks, so he is

These thoughts become vows

And you live to carry them out

Well, I don't wanna be a fool

Trapped in an endless cycle

of chasing a crown

Destined to just wear out

When I definitely don't deserve it

No I definitely don't deserve it

I'd rather watch it burn

Yeah I'll watch it burn

Just watch it burn

Yeah I'll watch it burn

Yeah, I will find my freedom

When I let your Spirit burn

Yeah, I will find my peace when

I let your Spirit burn

What's inside of me

No One, Nobody

(MATTHEW 16:25)

Little king on a marble

Your feet are starting to wobble

Yeah, we all fall down

Count the ashes

The shards of glass

Once castles in the sand

Yeah, they all fall down

So tell me have you had enough yet

Because I'll be here when there's no one left

Nobody, ever, wants to lose

But I'll be waiting here for you when you do

I've seen soldiers on a board

Make moves make war

But they all fall down

I've seen prospering plans

Slip into shaking hands

And they all fall down

So tell me have you had enough yet

Because I'll be here when there's no one left

Nobody, ever, wants to lose

But I'll be waiting here for you when you do

When you do

Well have you been crying out

Gasping for the truth?

Did you find the answers

And didn't like them too?

No one, nobody likes to lose

But there is blood on a tree that sings

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO

sometimes, you have to

Tell me have you had enough yet

Because I'll be here when there's no one left

Nobody, ever, wants to lose

But I'll be waiting here for you when you do

When you do

Knee Deep

On a piece of parched earth

I'll find you there

Where you bring this desert

To a standing water

And the whole world stops

While the wind whistles through my hair

Because in the presence of Your spirit

This veil starts to tear

Oh yeah

But I draw close and I am

Not the same

Couldn't tell you what happens

But I AM changed

You deposit this bliss with immaculate waves of grace

As I join hands with the one who traded blame and took my place

Oh yeah

Feel it just keep rising

As you make a new sound

And it just keeps rising

And my feet are off the ground

Yeah, it just keeps rising

Till I make a new sound

and I'm knee deep now

Yeah, I'm knee deep now

Over my feet

Feel the tide sweep

Underneath

Here in a dead place

That was next to nothing

Follow my voice

With the weak things is where I'll be

With your whole heart if you seek Me

You'll find me

Oh yeah

With your whole heart if you seek me

You will find me

Feel it just keep rising

As you make a new sound

And it just keeps rising

And my feet are off the ground

Yeah, it just keeps rising

Till I make a new sound

and I'm knee deep now

Yeah, I'm knee deep now

Slowly turn around

Sink the chains to the bottom

Lift me up to higher ground

To the Rock of Ages

I'm soaring on eagles wings

You've been faithful and delivered

On everything you've promised me

JESUS SON OF GOD

You are faithful

Feel it just keep rising

As you make a new sound

And it just keeps rising

And my feet are off the ground

Yeah, it just keeps rising

Till I make a new sound

and I'm knee deep now

Yeah, I'm knee deep now

Roaring For You

When I can't sleep on a summer night

You'll take me on a desert drive

I don't need to know why

Ballgame's on AM radio

And coming through the stereo

Hear the crowd go wild

That's me roaring for you

You're what I'm reaching for

Yeah, I'm roaring for you

I want what I can't describe

And you've got it, you are it

You've got it, you are it

Time with You is my medicine

And there is no comparison

You're the beginning and end

You are good and what's happening

and you said "apart from me"

I could "do nothing"

So I'm roaring for you

You're what I'm reaching for

Yeah, I'm roaring for you

I want what I can't describe

And you've got it, you are it

You've got it, you are it

All I hope for

And all these childish dreams

My family friends and all of these memories

They ALL came from Your mighty righteous hand

So that is where I

So that is where I want to be

That's me roaring for you

You're what I'm reaching for

Yeah, I'm roaring for you

I want what I can't describe

And you've got it, you are it

You've got it, you are it

Catch Your Eye

It's only life

Don't let it take a toll

Didn't you know by the seventh floor

And the echo from the long way down

When you hit the ground

I'll dust you off

Holy hands

Lift you up for another chance

Have you drinking from the well that won't run dry

Ooh, child I want more

I've been waiting and waiting to catch your eye

Ooh, child I want more

I've been waiting and waiting to catch your eye

And now we're talking

Now we're talking

Don't you know by now

That I make mighty things

from the dust

and the brokenhearted

and you better know I never fail

When it comes to you

I made a masterpiece when I wove you in your mother's womb

and I hope you know I knew you first

Ooh, child I want more

I've been waiting and waiting to catch your eye

Ooh, child I want more

I've been waiting and waiting to catch your eye

Ooh, child I want more

I've been waiting and waiting to catch your eye

And now we're talking

Now we're talking, Mmhmm

Now we're talking

Now we're talking, Mmhmm

Timeless

I'm well on my way

to a place

Where I won't feel this way anymore

Where trouble's just a memory

An endless day

But I see the stars shine

The light from the city is all we need

It's nothing like before

It's not a secret

but can you keep it

Hold on to it like it was the deepest

I haven't seen Him

But I believe in

The timeless name of Jesus

I'm not the same

Time keeps rushing by

It's an arbitrary number

What's an age when you live forever

You're on this ride

Don't you let it pass you by

Don't you let it catch you sleeping by surprise

Tomorrow's not promised to anyone

It's not a secret

but can you keep it

Hold on to it like it was the deepest

I haven't seen Him

But I believe in

The timeless name of Jesus

It's not a secret

but can you keep it

Hold on to it like it was the deepest

I haven't seen Him

But I believe in

The timeless name of Jesus

Un Salmo

Calma mi alma

O amor de Dios

No te vayas sin mi

Los dias estan oscureciendo

Y un poco de luz is todo lo que tengo

Y esta vida es calentada

Por Tu amor, por Tu amor

Que me voy hacer sin ti?

Que podria sin ti?

O Jesucristo, O Jesucristo

Tell Me How It's Gonna Be

When the river was wild

You still rushed to my side

Though the levy was breaking

When I was caught in the reeds

You reached out in mercy

I wasn't even breathing

That's just what You do

There's nobody like You

Nobody like You

Jesus, You're the truth

You are the maker,

There's no other savior

And Your praise will never cease

All these lovely things

These happy memories

They all come from your hand

That's just what you do

There's nobody like You

Nobody like You

Jesus you're the truth

You are the maker

There's no other savior

Tell me how it's gonna be

Cause that's just how it's gonna be

Tell me how it's gonna be

Cause that's just how it's gonna be

There's nobody like You

(There's nobody like you, there's nobody like You)

All I hope for and all these childish dreams

Family friends and all of these memories

They all come from Your hand

So that's where I want to be

They all come from Your hand

So that's where I want to be

They all come from Your hand

There's nobody like You

That's just what you do

Hang On (Pain Ends)

I remember when the summer started
I remember the red leaves falling
I know you'll bring it all around again
but right now the dead of winter's left me longing
and it feels to cold for singing songs in
but I remember that I've never seen You fail
So I'll hang on to what you said, way back when
And I don't care if they call me crazy cause You paid my debt
So, in Your Spirit I'll be living, like the best is yet to come
You said hang on my friend cause you ain't seen nothing yet
I never saw no fire starting
I never saw no red sea parting
you said blessed are they who believe but haven't seen
I take it trust is what You highly value
How dare that I should ever doubt You
What I have seen is that You are always good
So I'll hang on to what you said, way back when
And I don't care if they call me crazy cause You paid my debt
Yeah I'll hang on to what You said, way back when
So I'll hang on to what You said, way back when
And I don't care if they call me crazy cause You paid my debt
So, in Your Spirit I'll be living, like the best is yet to come
You said hang on my friend cause you ain't seen nothing yet
Just hang on my friend cause you ain't seen nothing yet

Some Things, Nothing, and Christ

I know you wanted to be loved
I know you gave your heart away
I know they ripped it to shreds
when they left
a pile of ribbons on a rainy street

I heard your hollering and cursing
and I know you want that forever person
But your love can't fly on broken wings
Well, I'm here to sing
You don't have to anymore

Forever's here
Always been there
Never gonna leave
While you're drawing the breath from those lungs
Not an old folks legend
More real than you think
They call him the King
Yeah, Jesus healed me

And I know you've made up all these plans
And I know you're keeping busy with distractions
But this love is always standing by
If you'll just call on Him tonight
He won't leave you high and dry

Well you say you've got all these doubts
Well so did I
I'm here to testify
Oh, I remember well what it was like
To believe in some things, nothing, and Christ

And only He ever dried my eyes
Never gonna leave
While you're drawing the breath from those lungs
Not an old folks legend
More real than you think
They call Him the King
Yeah, Jesus healed me

Forever's here
Always been there
Never gonna leave
While you're drawing the breath from those lungs
Not an old folks legend
More real than you think
They call him the King
Yeah, Jesus healed me

The Almighty King
Yeah, Jesus healed me
