Reclamation 04:20
So many times I've searched for truth in anything but You. What makes You worthy of my life? Your rules I despise. My life is mine, my secret safe. You have no control. It's coming off like I don't need any God to tell me what I am doing wrong. Step off, stand down. I'm not afraid to show you how little You mean to me. If you're not afraid, why do you continue to argue? Why do you keep seeking me? She leads first in my life. She is my heart, my prize, my everything. This throne is not Yours to claim. Not all who cry 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom. I never knew you. When I stand before the gates of the Kingdom, what will I say? "Lord open the gates!" Open the gates. Don't turn me away. Give me the keys to the Kingdom! Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name? Redemption comes in the heart of a son who has lost his way in the world. I've lost my way in the world. I turned away but You have yet to abandon me. You filled me up when I was low, broken, beaten, and all alone. I'm coming home, back to You, so Father open your arms and receive a son who's finally free. I am finally free.

You left me shattered, you left me empty Playing the field yet still expecting my solace It takes a heart to stand strong and faithful God what is companionship without trust? The pacifist stands idly beside her while the vulture feeds on his lust. For so long I was weak but because He’s with me I’ll stand on my own feet with His strength beneath me I’m no longer bound by the chains that shackled me Sew an A on your chest cause you’re just like the rest of the ones who couldn’t keep their vows The Lord detests lying lips, and you just can’t keep your mouth shut. Sowing your seed to any man that you please You’re selling yourself for words you’ve longed to receive There’s many who claim to have a love that remains But there’s only one God who’s grace can sustain You think I’m blind but my eyes are open to the truth My God gave me sight to see that you are just a fraud Maybe one day you’ll change your ways and redeem yourself Like a thief in the night you’re just hiding from the light You’re just a coward You say vengeance is yours so I’ll lay it all in your hands It was my cross to bear but I chose to be done I drew a line in the sand You are not my burden anymore

Xichang 03:29
Faces pass by as we navigate the cities insides On the surface everything appears fine but if you look a little harder you’ll see   Deep down there’s holes in the hearts of everybody you see There’s grief and there's pain and there’s gashes that bleed There’s a need! A need to belong People want to have a lasting family We all need community to fit with people to be a part of something bigger than ourselves We want to be loved My heart is burning for them to experience You For them to feel Your love, for them to see You through I want their faith to be as boundless as the sea No longer dead in sin your endless grace and ceaseless mercy has set them free You’ve been enslaved all your life Held down by everything you thought could set you Free from all the lies that you have taught yourself to love You feel so dead inside. You see that you’re no longer Able to feel anything but sadness and pain Your life’s a living hell! Constantly bound up in chains You don’t have to live like this wrapped up in all your woes A perfect sacrifice hung up for all to see Wrath then was poured upon Him, wrath meant for you and for me It’s time to lay your burdens down at His feet Christ died to set you free so free you are indeed I see their faces in my dreams! I feel their pain when I lay down my head to sleep Pour out your Spirit! Grant them your peace Wipe clean their sorrows and their disbelief Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done Open the heavens on us We want nothing but your love, poured out for everyone Sick, dirty, or poor. Murderers and thieves alike Open up the skies We are longing for you to set the captives free To rescue and redeem God, this is our plea

Catacombs 03:46
I used to walk around these streets with my head held high Claiming to be so full of joy; overflowing with life But everyone has those seasons where they feel so low Everyone goes through a time where they swear that they're alone I've never been so close to the edge to consider the fall But I've found myself in times where my run turns to a crawl Where that heart I thought I had deceives me and buries me under the ground I'm stuck in a tomb with only one way out I confess that I'm not faithful I've loaned out my heart, but all my idols have left me dead Lord, can these bones come to life? My strength is depleted, my bones are now dry Breathe in me! Give me new life! I'm only truly living if we coincide Rise! Your purpose is not yet fulfilled. My purpose is worthless with these legs made of sand. Solidarity is found in me. But my roots are so shallow and the rain isn't falling You planted a seed deep within me But it can't seem to grow cause it's choked by the weeds Shine your light! Nourish me How can I grow when I can't seem to see Shine Cut me out! Lift me from this rocky ground Free me from this barren land I'm planted among Take me from this dying valley plant me in the fertile soil Truth is that it's been raining all along I'm not sure how I missed it; how I got it all wrong. I used to put the blame on anyone but me Funny how things change with some clarity Brought down to my knees, blinded by Your light The scales have fallen, and you’ve granted me sight I can finally see that I'm a broken soul Buried in a tomb that's not my home Roll back the stone and set me free I belong in the air I'm at home with the heir

Messiah 03:32
Oh Lord From out of your own, your devout group of twelve Came a soul possessed by greed and by the ruler of the air How did it feel, when he traded you in For only thirty pieces of silver, and how did you share your Meal with that man? Breaking bread with him next to you He’s the “one who dipped his hand” And Jesus you knew from the beginning of time That your very own would turn, that Peter would deny Not once, not twice, but three different times, That you’re the Son of the Father who is seated on High How could you stand it? Praying by your lonesome Sweating blood cause you’re anxious Your face to the ground You said Father if possible, take this cup from me The spirit is willing but God the flesh is so weak A murderer is on trial, but the crowd sets him free And asks for You instead A crown of thorns upon your head, driven straight into the flesh Beat within an inch of your life Mocked and spat upon they brought you to the hill And there they nailed your hands and feet And then the blood of God was spilled as you Gave up your Spirit your body now broken The earth began to shake and the tombs were smashed open The bodies of holy people raised up to life You were buried in a tomb but defeated you were not Because three days had passed and you opened your eyes The grave was no match for the power of Christ Deemed “King of the Jews” but you died for the masses You are the risen king of all You are Jesus of Nazareth
