Say It Out

I was always the boy who kept his mouth shut/ the one who liked to fade in the background/ the one that wasnt heard/ the soft and timid voice/ the one that prefered not to stand out/ and listened to the opinions of others, a bit too much. Well, you never know do you, how somethings don't stay the same, and changes drastically, with a little help of course. Now I stand, with the mike in my hand, still shivering a little, but every bit assured, and im thinking, 'Wow'

Say It Out
V1
Sometimes it just frustrates me
How my mouth just betrays me
It betrays me, at the moment where it counts

Sometimes I just wonder
Why the words stay put at the tip, of my lips
Though its longing to come out

But today im sick and tired of being silent
Today, im sick and tired of being silent

Chorus
So Im gonna..
Say It Out, Say It Out
Cos I might never get another chance
I might never get another chance to
Say it Out, Say It Out
And Ill never know how badly
Somebody needs to hear me
Say It Out

V2
And today Ill lose consciousness
Of the things that surround me
Cos I don't wanna live my life full of maybes

And Ill never know what your reaction might be
If I never try..
But Im terrified, I will not lie

But today, I think its time I break the silence
Today I think its time i break the silence

Chorus
So Im gonna..
Say It Out, Say It Out
Cos I might never get another chance
I might never get another chance to
Say it Out...
And Ill never know how badly
Somebody needs to hear me
Say It Out...


How it amazes me, how He used this voice
With a timid attitude
To speak to the multitudes
It amazes me,
Turned it into something good
And all I have is gratitude
That He'd use this timid voice
To speak to you..

And today, Im sick and tired of being silent
Today, its about time I break the silence...

So Im gonna..
Say It Out, Say It Out!
(Cos salvations not meant to be kept inside)
And I might never get another chance
I might never get another chance to
Say it Out!
(For the sake of the one who gave me life)
And Ill never know how badly
Somebody needs to hear me
Say It Out

Conversations with the king (part II)

You said, I hate to do so but I must
Remove the consequence, but I cant
Fast forward to the time where you'll finally understand
But for now, it just takes a little trust
It just takes a little trust


I remember a time, not so long ago
That I was afraid to admt, I was on the wrong road
Falling short, in every single way that was possible

And its hard to believe, that not so long ago
I grew sick of the blessings laid on my table
And just like that, threw it all away
Threw it all away


And Im sitting here in the silences
Asking myself again and again and again

Who am I? Who am I?
That I stand to testify, that I stand to testify
Who am I? Who am I?
That I stand to testify, that I stand to testify


I remember a time, not so long ago
When you knocked on the door and asked to come in again'
When I saw your face, so full of grace
I fell to my knees
And I begged, Please forgive me
Please forgive me

And You said, I hate to do so but I must
Remove the consequence, but I cant
But trust me that soon after you'll finally understand
And for now, would you take my hand again
Would you take my hand again


So Im here again, just like that day
Down on my knees asking myself again

Who am I? Who am I?
That I stand to testify, that I stand to testify
Who am I? Who am I?
That I stand to testify, that I stand to testify



And every heartache, I have to go through
I know its for a bigger reason than me
And I thank you, that you broke my heart
When you needed to, when you needed me to be
Trusting in you, just trusting in you...
Keep breaking my heart, keep breaking my heart for you
Just break my heart for you

For you..
For you..


You said, I hate to do so but I must
Remove this cup, but I cant
Fast forward to the time where theyll finally understand
But for now, my hands are growing weak..
I stand before a crowd watching me bleed
And here I am, starring straight into your eyes
Would you testify for me?
Would you testify for me?

Faithful One

Here I come again, here before you
With not so much to ask, just to thank you, to thank you
If I had only you, it would be enough
All that I could ask, and more than enough, more than enough

How can I comprehend? The love you gave to me
I dont understand and it makes no sense how I am free
And ill say, you are faithful, faithful one
Faithful, faithful one

Time and time again, and over and over
Im hanging on the edge, holding desperate to your faithful love
Set on eternity, my heart waits patiently
For I know, salvation lives inside of me

How can I comprehend? The love you gave to me
I dont understand and it makes no sense, at your expense
You gave me new life, gave me all I need
Gave me hope, you are faithful indeed

How can I say enough?
Tell me... how can I say enough?

Here I come again, kneeling at your feet
Never lose your hold, never lose your hold on me

How can I comprehend? The love you gave to me
I dont understand and it makes no sense how I am free
And Ill say, you are faithful, faithful one
Faithful, faithful one

How can I sing enough?
Tell me...how can I sing enough?
