Child of Wrath
03:16
|
|||
Dead to life, I live for death
A heart of stone in my chest
I'm a lonely, open grave
Some company is what I crave
I am a child of wrath
Born to walk this dark path
I grew from defiled seed
Into a diseased, gnarled tree
And I can cut any branch I please
But a disguise ain't a remedy
When I am rotten to the root
Wicked through and through
And from these rotten roots
Comes forth a bitter fruit
I am a self-made creature
My word is my scripture

What Have I
03:48
|
|||
What have I, but a mausoleum mouth
And a body of dry bones?
Who are you to give me flesh, blood, and breath
And to lead me before your throne?
You put your blood on my doorpost
When I was fast asleep
In my slumber before existence
It was you, it was you who chose me
What have I, but some bitter sour fruit
And a manicured facade?
Who are you to love me in spite of it?
Oh you my sovereign God
You put your blood on my doorpost
When I was fast asleep
In my slumber before existence
It was you, it was you who chose me
So in what have I to boast?
I was but a thought in your mind
I could offer no assistance
Yet you loved me for all time
By no work of mine
Yeah, you loved me for all time
By no worth of mine

Reconciliation
03:06
|
|||
You knew just what you were doing
You accomplished what you sought
Entered in to time and flesh
Oh you my sovereign God
With my iniquities laid upon you
You took my place on the cross
I was given to you for safe keeping
And I am not counted lost
Wrath was satisfied
Hallelujah, wrath was satisfied
When I was dead in my trespasses
You poured your blood for my ransom
And when your dead lungs drew their first breath
It was then from the grave I was stolen
I was received with grace and peace
Sweet reconciliation
I was given to you for safe keeping
Oh you my propitiation
Wrath was satisfied
Hallelujah, wrath was satisfied

Vessel of Mercy
03:07
|
|||
When you gave me life
My lungs took in a breath
My heart stirred in my chest
When you called me out
I cast my shroud aside
Stood and left the grave behind
By your grace you gave me sight
How then could I remain blind?
When you gave me life
My tongue it did confess
My heart of stone turned to flesh
When you called me out
I cast my shroud aside
Stood and left the grave behind
By your grace you gave me sight
How then could I remain blind?
Now that I see your light
How is it I ever loved the night?
Now I am a child of promise, a vessel of mercy
And for your pleasure I am prepared for glory
Now that I see your light
How is it I ever loved the night?
By your grace you gave me sight
So how could I remain blind?

Sure and Steady Hands
06:12
|
|||
I keep my eyes on the horizon
Looking out over the deep
Water’s churning, swells are crashing
Yeah, the tempest has angered the sea
But you are, you’re my rescuer
Maker of the endless deep
You are my anchor in the storm
You hold me fast to your shore
Oh you have your hand on me
I keep my eyes on the passes
Winding each scraggly peak
Avalanches have eroded this path
Yeah, land is sliding out from my feet
But you are, you’re my rescuer
Maker of mountains so steep
You’re the world’s foundation
And you will not be shaken
Oh you have your hand on me
I keep my eyes on the ticking hands
Sweeping away all the years
With all my dreams and loved ones death has claimed
Yeah, they haunt me with fear, pain, and with tears
But you are, you’re my rescuer
Existing eternally
By your blood you conquered the grave
By you it’s you that I now crave
Oh you had your hand on me
And by your sure and steady hands
You will persevere
Till the mountains fall into the sea
At the end of all these things
You will still have your hand on me
You will always have your hand on me
Oh you have your hand on me
May you ever be all I see
May you be, may you be all I see

As You Please
03:39
|
|||
Who am I to say to you
This vessel is for a different use?
You are free to do as you please
No, my lungs can’t take a breath
Nor my heart beat in my chest
Without your hand on me
Spit out from the mouth of a whale
Drawn from the grave where I lay
Salvation is yours alone
Only you can break my chains
Just is your wrath and vengeance
Though you pardoned my sentence
And I’m cured of my disease
Healed not by might of my own
I am made fit before your throne
By decree, my sovereign king
Spit out from the mouth of a whale
Drawn from the grave where I lay
Salvation is yours alone
Only you can break my chains
On the night you come for me
Won’t be my blood that you’ll see
It’s you covering my post
So in what have I to boast?
On the night you come for me
Won’t be my blood that you’ll see
So in what have I to boast
But grace and grace alone?
Spit out from the mouth of a whale
Drawn from the grave where I lay
Salvation is yours alone
Only you can break my chains
Now no longer am I a slave

Like the Thief
04:10
|
|||
Be merciful, be merciful to me
A crooked tree
I can give you nothing but a place to hang a bleed
And on this I stand
All I have is filthy rags
But through the gift of belief
Your blood has made me clean
Be merciful, be merciful to me
I'm buried deep
I can give you nothing but some worms looking to eat
And on this I stand
You have not left me condemned
But like the thief by your side
I'll join you in paradise
Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks
So the fruit grows from the root of the tree
And any righteousness you see
You imputed to me
I am justified by no work of mine
Like the thief by your side
I'll join you in paradise

Reconciler
04:08
|
|||
Only you can break the chains that make me a slave
Only you can drink this wrath in my place
Only your body buried can pay my price
Only your body raised can give me life
From darkness you deliver me
You are the image of the unseen
From death you have purchased me
By hanging on a tree
Only you Great I AM can be the cut down lamb
Only you can hold justice in your hands
Only you can finish what Adam began
Only you are the perfect Son of Man
From darkness you deliver me
You are the image of the unseen
From death you have purchased me
By dying on a tree
Your blood satisfies
Only your blood, your blood satisfies
Only you Great I AM can be the cut down lamb
Only you can bleed mercy from your hands
Only your body broken can make amends
Only you are both beginning and end
Only you are both beginning and end
The one who was, will be, and who is

Author of Authors

It was you from the start
The author of all authors
A master of your art
Your language runs like water
And I wish to stand by your stream
And drink deep with my roots
Til my leaves are emerald green
Branches heavy with sweet fruit
Everything hangs on every word you say
No other word can hold the weight
Your tongue is a sword
That defeats my enemies
Yet it pierces my soul
Severing the rot from me
Your word is breath and life
And true in everything
It is a light for my eyes
Sufficient and not lacking
Everything hangs on every word you say
No other word can hold the weight
My tongue is a fire
Your word is my water
Your revelation is breath to my bones
Everything hangs on every word you say
No other word can hold the weight

All Glory
04:38
|
|||
Like the forest
And all of the trees
Sometimes so hard to see
You through all of me
My head's on a mountain
And my heart's in the sea
But in you my love
I'll find my peace
From and through and to you is everything
All glory is yours my sovereign king
A bag of bones dreaming
Of eternity
My mouth full of death
For you I'm thirsting
A good sweet fruit grows
You draw it patiently
Wrath once upon me
Now graced with mercy
From and through and to you is everything
All glory is yours my sovereign king
(oh you my sovereign king)
May you ever be all I see
May your glory be ever before me
