Monuments 03:29
lyrics
buy track
We've been clinging to ashes We've been wandering around these monuments Wondering where are ours We want a place at the table We want some stories to tell our kids And make 'em proud Because the God of David and Augustine Is still writing stories, giving us dreams to chase We fear the sins of our fathers Some day would come back to haunt us Still we try to break the mold We want a place at the table We want some stories to tell our kids And make 'em proud Because the God of David and Augustine Is still writing stories, giving us dreams to chase So fill our hearts with hope And our minds with wisdom Give our lives a passion For all the things of You, all the things of You

A new day is dawning and with it a hope Spirit revive us, come live inside us, and be our King Give us the vision to see things like You Jesus come fashion a heart of compassion out of this tomb Cause even the dark isn't darkness to You Father of Lights, faithful and true I know that this is not the end But one more chance to start again Help us to see past the wrongs we have done and make us a story compelling and worthy of all that You are Give us the courage to live this thing out God we are trying but sometimes surviving is the best we can do

Bloodlines 03:34
lyrics
buy track
I remember Abraham sent his bastard son to die I remember Jacob too and when he robbed his father blind Cain killing Abel, Joseph betrayed by the ones that he loved Oh the blood, oh the blood that flowed from Adam's veins that day with Eve Is the same blood that's pumping in my heart I remember David when he killed a man to bed his wife I remember Solomon built pagan temples for his bride This is Your psalmist, this is Your teacher leading the way God please take us in as well We are a broken and wounded tribe Second Adam, Heaven's Light It's in Your life that we have life

The Love of God 03:48
lyrics
buy track
The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen could ever tell It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell The guilty pair bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win His erring child He reconciled and pardoned from his sin When all of time shall pass away and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall When men who once refused to pray on rocks and hills and mountains call God's love so sure shall still endure, all measureless and strong Redeeming grace to Adam's race, the saints' and angels' song Love of God, rich and pure, measureless and strong It reaches through the walls I've placed around my head and heart Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry Nor could the scrolls contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky

Vice 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Haven't you heard the prophets are gone they've taken their songs and with it their truth But nobody cares about truth anymore we've traded it for cheap prostitutes And all of the angels with all of their angles couldn't break through all the noise Cause we all like children were too busy fillin' up all our time with our toys Haven't you heard the girl in his bed is not the women he wed just someone that he found preaching one night, he saw sex in her eyes and he fell for the lies that sent his world crashing down You think that your armor means nothing can harm ya but pride makes us blind to our vice And once it was settled, with new tricks to peddle he found a new flock to entice Redemption's a funny thing when you don't wanna be saved From the things that you cling to Though they're dragging you down to your grave

Melodies and Strings 03:41
lyrics
buy track
A darkness long as winter's night was filling up the room Was a time not long ago when I'd say it felt like home But I'm leaving that behind Cannot grasp the lies of man, like chasing after wind Can't deny the same disease is underneath my skin But I'm leaving that behind I'm bleeding out the pain with melodies and strings I hear You singing over me With whisperings of grace, God heal me with Your name Yea You put my troubled heart at ease You put my troubled heart at ease Rarely for an honest man would another give his life But You perceive my deepest pain and take it as Your own So I'm leaving it behind Oh without a light to guide me except the one that burns inside but I don't know if I can trust these flames

Currents 03:19
lyrics
buy track
You said Your Spirit would flow You said my heart would be whole My heart is thirsty my bones are dry as dust Am I just another beggar barely hanging on A busted pilgrim trying to carve a name though so far from home Through night and the day, I'm finding my way back to You Am I just a broken cup that can't be filled at all A poisoned well polluting all the good You've poured into me I'm trying to believe what You see in me is possible Jesus, You're the Living Water Spirit, Spring that overflows God, Your love pursues me like a flood But somehow I'm still Jonah Diving out into the ocean Swimming hard away from You All the while Your currents pull me To Your heart and to Your truth

Breaking In 03:09
lyrics
buy track
I hear You whispering I feel the gentle breeze that comes To remind me You're still here The kingdom's breaking in I feel it in my skin and bones And I see it everywhere Come, let Your will be done Let our hearts be one God in our brokenness, God in this filthy mess we've made God in our scandals and our scars God of our victories, God of our hope and love and peace God our Redeemer and our Friend Come, let Your will be done, let our hearts be one As Your daughters and Your sons Let us be Your kingdom come In this city and its streets Let us be Your hands and feet And vessels of Your peace, God we are Yours All our law pales at Your love Man, beast, and bird, kneel one and all Tear down oh Lord each earthly throne Build us instead as bricks for Your own

Marks of the Storm 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Though trials like the tide keep pounding our lives We're anchored in You, we stand But when doubt shackles hope like bones cage my heart When I'm raging within, what then, what then Like rocks at the edge of the sea We bear the marks of the storm But we're still holding on to the promise of a Son That our faith will keep us around My heart like the dark of the depths of the sea But Your Spirit hovers over me Let there be light, let there be light Batter my heart till it's beating for You

Wonders 04:38
lyrics
buy track
You've spoken through creation Through the fire and the cloud You've spoken through the angels and the sound You've spoken through the prophets Through the vision and the dream You've spoken through Your Son And His victory This world is filled with wonders And they're all pointing us to You You've spoken through Your people Through the doctrine and the creed You've spoken through the nations and their histories You've spoken through our laughter and the faith of a child You've spoken through disaster and the trial This world is filled with wonders and they're all pointing us to You Tune our hearts to see all of You in all this beauty Tune our lives to sing creation's melody This world is filled with wonders And they're all pointing us to You We join the sun, the moon, and the stars In one big chorus of hallelujah We join the saints and angels above In one big chorus of hallelujah
