Lyrics:

We’re choosing celebration
Breaking into freedom
You’re the song
You’re the song
Of our hearts

We cast aside our shadows
Trust You with our sorrows
You’re the song
You’re the song
Of our hearts

We’re dancing to the rhythm of Your heart
We’re rising from the ashes to the stars

You’re the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I’m broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love

The pain will not define us
Joy will reignite us
You’re the song
You’re the song
Of our hearts

The dark is just a canvas
For Your grace and brightness
You’re the song
You’re the song
Of our hearts

We’re dancing to the rhythm of Your heart
We’re rising from the ashes to the stars

You’re the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I’m broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love
[x2]

You’re the joy
The song in my heart
The hope of my soul

In the shadows
In the sorrows
In the desert
When the pain hits
You are constant
Ever-present
You’re the song of my heart
[x2]

You’re the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I’m broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love
Into Your arms

Happy New Year

Lyrics:

Heaven defines every reason, the reason I sing

Heaven defies every reason, the reason is me

The reason I live is the reason you smile

Hope comes now

Heaven defines every reason, the reason I sing

Hope comes after

Heaven defies every reason, the reason is me

Hope comes now

The reason I live is the reason you smile

Life that is bigger than the scope of the chapters

Hope comes now

Heaven defines every reason, the reason I sing

Hope comes after

Heaven defies every reason, the reason is me

Hope comes now

The reason I live is the reason you smile

Toss everything I thought into the fire

You never know worth until you lose it

Lost in the fields of desire

I wouldn’t recognize it if I used it

You traded your sorrow for dancing

Silenced your sickness with praises

You spoke to your own diagnosis

And told that the God that you serve overcame it

You smile where you lie, I stood there lying to myself

When I told you of hope a peace

The role that I play is to cope with your pain

But I broke and your faith only spoke into me

The pride that I hide isn’t close to release

The song that I sing is like a stone to the sea

Sink.  Falling to the bottom of the floor

Like the heart that I carried when I walked through your door

Peace: let it come back to me

I let it go to embrace my ambition

Let the sun crash through me

Because the darkness displaces my vision

Death: but you never feared that

You opened up the Word and you made it clear that

This planet isn’t home and you just walking along

The conviction is real, it was never near slack

So ‘cut me some’

With a blade and compulsion, sabre to supplement

Swing to the chest for a segment of flesh

As I sing with a scream by the sting of the gauntlet

‘Cut me some’

Maybe pain and the suffering, vein for the puncturing

Strain of your sickness could help me to place in perspective the things I’ve forgotten

Now I know that

Hope comes now

Heaven defines every reason, the reason I sing

Hope comes after

Heaven defies every reason, the reason is me

Hope comes now

The reason I live is the reason you smile

Life that is bigger than the scope of the chapters

Hope comes now

Heaven defines every reason, the reason I sing

Hope comes after

Heaven defies every reason, the reason is me

Hope comes now

The reason I live is the reason you smile

Help me to place in perspective the things I’ve forgotten

I struggle to muster the hope I profess in attempts to encourage these strangers

The irony settles when tables are turned in their favor like vinyl and fader

I feel like a hypocrite living in sin

When I tell em’ that He’s bigger and He’s greater

Than sickness and labor in silence I cry

As I’m living in fear and I hate it

How can I comfort the one nearing death?

A man so afraid with the fear in his breath

Assimilated fortress, devil and his horseman

Have raided the tiers and the strength he possessed

Strain on the chest.  I can’t show anyone

No, and I can’t show you

You live as the fluids infuse

You live with results and the news

You live though your time’s running out

And you still live life to the full

Dying, but life only starts when it ends

And you smile and you laugh like it’s true

God help me, forgive my forget

Fill my cassette, new film and eject

Fast forward, deliver me from rewind

God help me progress

Now push ‘play,’ the words that I speak aren’t fake

But the music of faith

The fuel of your pain and the hope that remained

Only gave a nurse strength and the fear was replaced

Therefore, to live now is Christ

There is nothing but gain

I came to nurse you, but you took care of me

And for that, I’m reminded our hope is the same

Hope comes now

Heaven defines every reason, the reason I sing

Hope comes after

Heaven defies every reason, the reason is me

Hope comes now

The reason I live is the reason you smile

Life that is bigger than the scope of the chapters

Hope comes now

Heaven defines every reason, the reason I sing

Hope comes after

Heaven defies every reason, the reason is me

Hope comes now

The reason I live is the reason you smile

Help me to place in perspective the things I’ve forgotten

Lyrics:
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness,
watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all”.
Lord, now indeed I find,
Thy power and Thine alone,
Jesus died my soul to save,
And melt my heart of stone.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

And when before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
Jesus died my soul to save,
my lips shall still repeat:

Oh praise the One,
who paid my debt,
And raised this life up from the dead.

Lyrics:
Piercing light when His soul was unbound and He opened His eyes. trembling ground; when the door stood aside and He stepped out. every jaw dropped, such a striking display, I heard their blood ran cold. because, “you won’t find the living One among the dead.” they said an angel spoke.

The Light shines, becoming alive.

Piercing light; every reason to doubt, there’s a man in the sky. trembling ground; they had quite the surprise and fell face down. darkness took flight with the temperature change as if its power broke. ‘cause, “you won’t find the living One among death,” they said an angel spoke.

I remember those three days past Your death, waking with the searing pain of loss, and I remember the ringing in my ears at the news that they brought us. I remember running to Your tomb, my heart was crushed wondering who took You. I remember as the pieces fell in place.

I’ve seen things I’d have never believed, punctuated by the dead Man walking.

Lyrics:
Depth of mercy! Can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear,
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?

I have long withstood his grace,
Long provoked him to his face,
Would not hearken to his calls,
Grieved him by a thousand falls.

My God, my God, my God I’m sorry!
My God, my God, my God forgive me!
Forgive me Lord! Forgive me Lord!
Forgive me Lord! Forgive me Lord!

I my Master have denied,
I afresh have crucified,
And profaned his hallowed name,
Put him to an open shame.

My God, my God, my God I’m sorry!
My God, my God, my God forgive me!
Forgive me Lord! Forgive me Lord!
Forgive me Lord! Forgive me Lord!

My God, incline my heart now to repent
O Lord, for all my sins, let me lament
Today may I for my foul revolt, deplore
Weep, believe, and sin no more

There for me the Savior stands,
Shows his wounds and spreads his hands.
God is love! I know, I feel,
Jesus weeps and loves me still,
Jesus bleeds and loves me still,
Jesus dies and loves me still.

Underoath — Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape

Season's Greetings

Lyrics:
I heard a voice through the discord
Of a deluge of passersby.
I saw one gaze frozen in time
Watching me passing by.

I swear I’ll know your face in the crowd,
And I’ll hear your voice so loud
When you’re whispering…

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger.
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another.

Here’s my kiss to betray
Desperate to brush the lips of grace.
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I’ve lied?

Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me.
Oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me.

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger.
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another.
Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger.
Hey unloving, I will love you,
I will love you, I will love you.

Hey unloving

I will love you

Jesus I’m ready to come home.
