Invisible

My child,

You see we've dug a hole so deep
We cant get out

We shoot for the stars
And now, were on our way down

And I've got to let you know, see youve been told, otherwise
And I know youre letting go
But tonight, hold on tight

Cos you are not
Invisible
Give us time
To look beyond ourselves
You are not
Replaceable
Give us time
To place it all together now


My child,

You see we got lost somewhere
In the progress
We all know

Were in this beauty chase
That we looked pass
The perfection on your face

And I've got to let you know, see youve been told, otherwise
And I know youre letting go
But tonight, hold on tight

Cos you are not
Invisible
Give us time
To look beyond ourselves
You are not
Replaceable
Give us time
To place it all together now
You are free



"I dont need no machinery
I just need a place to call my home

I dont need no breaking speed
I just need a hand to hold

I dont need no machinery
I just need someone to take me home

I dont need no breaking speed
I just need to find my soul"

Chasing

I know I've been here before
So many times before

I think you don't wanna see me no more
With my face flat on the floor
Please tell me I'm wrong

Surrender
Is not a decision I made
Its a choice I have to make
Not a gamble I took
Its the only chance I have to take
Is not a prize I claim
Its a place I wanna be
Cos the only time I stand firm
Its when I'm down on my knees

and giving…
What isn't mine in the first place

I'm not the steady kind of guy
And I burn, with no steady kind of fire

But steady, is not what you require
Persistance, is all that you desire
In chasing your heart

Surrender
Is not a decision I made
Its a choice I have to make
Not a gamble I took
Its the only chance I have to take
Is not a prize I claim
Its a place I wanna be
Cos the only time I stand firm
Its when I'm down on my knees

and giving…
What isn't mine in the first place



Why does it get harder each time
It gets harder to lie
You see right through the very worst in me
You seeing through the very worst in me

Surrender
Is not a decision I made
Its a choice I have to make
Not a gamble I took
Its the only chance I have to take
Is not a prize I claim
Its a place I wanna be
Cos the only time I stand firm
Its when I'm down on my knees

and giving…
What isn't mine in the first place

Sirens

We're so scared to fall
But fear is what that brings us to the bottom
We're sleeping with the pain
We've come to think we can't live without it
You see we're all finding our way
And victims to this human nature
Were counting down our days
Just hoping it'll be worth the wait

I hear the sirens pass me by
I say why oh why
I hear the crying in the night
I say poor boy please don't die
Next moment I wake up, the voices ask me if I am alright
You had a close one, and you barely made it out of here alive
Then I realize, I'm the one thats being saved tonight

Its not how many times you fall
Or how you jump back on your feet again
You see its not about you burning
Its about the fire your'e breathing in

I hear the sirens pass me by
Im singing why oh why
I hear the crying in the night
Im singing poor boy please don't die
Next moment I wake up, the voices ask me if I am alright
You had a close one, and you barely made it out of here alive
Then I realize, I'm the one thats being saved tonight

Its more than my breaking, its about the sacrifice you made
So as the blood enters my veins, I am awake
I am awake


Hallelujah
I'm falling to my knees
Sing Hallelujah
I'm falling to my knees
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Ocean Road

We welcome the sun, we welcome the rain. We curse the sun, we curse the rain. We are not permanent. Neither is anything about us or around us permanent. Everything will fade away, accept One

As inconsistent beings crying out for consistency, we search for the one thing that is constant. And through the different seasons, and our changing perspectives, we seek God. His beauty is everywhere, and we find Him in the different patterns of our life. Through our changing world, He is unchanging, unmoved, unshaken. The one thing we'll never figure out, yet the only thing that we'll ever be sure of.


V1
I'm sitting at the backseat
On this winding road
And I find myself asking all the questions that have haunted me so
I look before me, unending life
But the storms that surround me just seems too much to fight

With all I have in this life
I find my reason when Im right by Your side
So catch me as I fall
And let me find You in the midst of it all

Chorus
Your love is an ocean
Let now the undertow take me in
Your love is a waterfall
Let now the cascades wash me clean
Your love is the endless skies
And just as the heavens are over all the earth
Your love is around me
Your love will never let me go

V2
Im standing at the crossroads, staring at the signs
And I try so hard just searching for a reason for each breathe that I find
Like a grass in the wind, tossed from place to place
Holding on to grace, walking in the traces of You

Flood and sweep through my life
Yet hold me closely to Your side
Catch me as I fall
And let me find You in the midst of it all

Chorus
Your love is an ocean
Let now the undertow take me in
Your love is a waterfall
Let now the cascades wash me clean
Your love is the endless skies
And just as the heavens are over all the earth
Your love is around me
Your love will never let me go

Bridge
God.
Your'e the one thing that Im sure of
Your'e the one thing that I know
Will never end
Will always stand

Your'e the one thing I'll never figure out
Yet Your'e the one thing that I know
Will never end
Will always stand



Your love is the gentle breeze
That stills me within my soul
Your love is the calm
As I travel the seas unknown
Your love is the meadows
And the fields that I rest my head
Your love is the answer
Your love will never let me go

All I ever do

I'd like to say I have the faith
To move the mountain to beat the grave
But I don't
I wish I could say I'm sure today
I'll stand for you all the way
But I can't
Cos theres something inside me that gets it all wrong
But it is erased, it gets lost in these songs

And all I ever do, I'll never make it up to you
But I live to breath each day

To worship You
To worship You
My God

I'd like to say I've learned from my mistakes
I'd like to say I have what it takes
But I don't
I'd like to say i'm not afraid
To fight the shadows to brave the pain
But you know I can't
Where do I stand in your perfect plan?
My answer found, as I lift up these hands

And all I ever do, I'll never make it up to you
But I live to breath each day

To worship You
To worship You
My God

Dear God, thank You

And it amazes me

How you used this voice

With a timid Attitude

To speak to the multitudes

It amazes me

How You turned it into something good

And all I have is gratitude

That you would use this voice…






"Praise God in the great congregation; praise the Lord in the assembly of Isreal. There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them "Psalm 67:26-27 (:


God Youve made my dreams come true in ways I could not imagine. And I know this is just the beginning. Just thought I'd pause to think about Your faithfulness...

You miraculously turned my messed up life around Lord, I love You with all my heart



It was never a straight forward thing, and it never is…but what I know, Your hand is with me, Your rod, Your staff, it comforts me. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.


Your power is made perfect in my weakness



Im still that boy, just with a different voice

Im still that boy, just with a different choice

To follow You…

tick tock

We have made ourselves a home, in this mess we've made
We have made ourselves a bed, a bed in the grave
Tossing and turning, tossing and turning, what are you waiting for?
Tossing and turning, tossing and turning, what are you still here for?

So run, run, run out of this place
Run, run, run out of this place!

We have bound ourselves with chains, and cuddled in its warmth
We have chose to wait it out, to die in the storm
Settling down, sitting around, our bodies waste away
Settling down, looking around as the seconds fade away

So run, run, run out of this place
Run, run, run out of this place!

This world isn't getting any younger than the treasures we hold dear
The clock isn't ticking any slower than our hearts that beat with fear
If we could turn back the hands, we would make amends
But where do we go? Cos were never coming back here again!

We're never coming back, we're never coming here again
We're never coming back, we're never coming here again

You gotta run, run, run out of this place!
Run, run, RUN OUT OF THIS PLACE!

Do you hear the sirens scream though those walls
Do you hear the sirens scream through those walls

So what are you still here for?

Beautiful end (let down the nets)

Luke 5:5-6


Once in awhile I take a stroll down this path the winding one

Once in awhile I let doubt have its way over me

Cos I’ve rode the heights of the land, but I still taste the dirt on the ground

I listen up in the silences, but hope doesn’t make a sound

Hope doesn't make a sound



I've worked hard all night, and I haven’t got anywhere

But because you say so, Ill do this one more time

Toss and turn all night, but it seems so far from the end

But because you say so, Ill keep doing this over again



I walk to the fight packed my bags and said goodbye

But surrender is more than waving this white flag high

I know this path chosen for me, was not for me to choose

And I know you wont take away what you wont give back in full

With something more beautiful



We work hard all night, and were still hanging on the edge

But because You say so, we’ll do this one more time

We’ve been up all night, but it seems so far from the end

But because You say so, we'll keep doing this over again



Sometimes you gotta stay asleep with the nightmare, to see its beautiful end
