Conversation

I bleed
This wound is getting
larger on my body
And I bleed
And they tell me I should stop it
But there's no need

I bleed
I feel something happening within me
And it's painful now
But there's no turning back
from what You've started
So I bleed
But my body's giving way
to something better,
something newer

I bleed
Yes, I die to the sin in my body
I die to every drug that I've sought for
Every lust that I've longed for
This time the change is going
to be from You, Father,
Not from me
I die to every drug I ever sought for
I die to every lust I ever longed for

The Weather In My Eyes

I'm walking in your rain
Are these your falling teardrops?
I'm walking in your rain

Are these your falling teardrops?
My sin has caused you
Brought you sadness
And so it pours on me
And so it pours on me
But even though you cry, Father,
I sin again
And I...

'Cause I am tired of struggling with sin
Take this temptation from my sight
'Cause I am tired of struggling with sin
Take this temptation from my sight

Stripes

We all swerve outside the line
This proves that His love's divine
And strength comes to those who cry
Fighting to keep the Lord's commands

That was the last time I believed it
That You died in vain
That was the last time I conceived it
That You wouldn't forgive my sins

Since these stripes are for me
I'm forgiven

Music Box

He gazed upon the old, dusty case
And was wondering what
it held in its age
And then his nimble fingers
passed o'er its latch
To find the music box he hadn't used
Was it something he should hide
all these years?
But he somehow held it up with a smile

It's been so long
since I've wound you up
And you sang to me your melody
When just a child, I found your love
It enchanted me

He held it with his hands that now shook
The reflection that was cast in his eyes
Was the knob if he should
so choose to turn
So I'll wind you up...

Found the music box from his youth
It's been so long
Since you sang to me your melody
I'm still the child
And your love enchants me even now
It's been so long
Since I've wound you up
and heard your song

For Lo

Laying on my lawn
Face to the clouds
Tree shadows stretched like my soul
It's lovely spring again

But the darkness some call the winter
Is a season of loneliness
When it seemed You dissolved
The sensing of Your Spirit gone
I clenched my steering wheel in fear
With doubts upon my dash
So I pulled off, pulled to the roadside
And cried out to You this appeal:

Mold me into Your plan
And fit me into Your hand
And I'll embrace what I can't understand
Lord, I've come to this time
That I'm leaving winter behind
I've been waiting there so long
For this spring

Asleep in my car, I woke to Your voice
I wondered where you'd gone last year
But I found that You'd been here
So I pulled back onto the roadway
Forsaking the doubts in my mind

You teach me in seasons
When I didn't see You
You teach me in seasons
When I didn't feel You
Everytime the winter comes
It's a soul-stretching process
Moving from fear to trust
As You teach me

Something Real
Come on
I'll show you something new
Don't put it off
Don't put it off if you want something real
Come on, hold on
I'll show you something new

In silence you might hear His voice
The sound...let's you respond by choice
You turned to look
But it came from where?
Don't just keep hiding in the deafening
His call is soft
It's subtle but piercingly challenging
you to confront all you've got
What if it's not
Not what you thought?

On my knees
Praying for, praying that
You might even happen to hear
+++

Splendor

It happened late that night
A light went through the blinds
and broke my sleep
Am I awake for You to speak?
Oh, why does it feel like a dream?
A glimpse of heaven it seems
Your splendor

Prompted by you, Lord, I stood
I cried as I ran down the stairs
Everything changed that night
With a phone call to my home
Convicted to confess it all
That night I gave my life to You

Why does it feel like a dream?
A glimpse of heaven it seems
In Your splendor
Tossing and turning awakened by Love
