Seeds

In the silence of the soil
In the quiet of the ground beneath
Where there are no signs of growth
You’ve promised there is life unseen
Can’t rely on sight for proof
Won’t doubt it though my hands can’t touch
Winter’s sleep gives strength to spring
All I can do is wait and trust
That nothing is wasted, not with my God
You’re making gardens out of graveyards
I bring all my hopes and all of these
‘Not how I wanted it to be’s
All of the dreams that surely, surely should have been
My wants that I thought were my needs
Come to bury these dying seeds
And then I’ll watch You turn them
Turn them into trees
Asked You for the reasons why
And now the question still remains
Seems that You prefer to leave
My disappointments unexplained
So that I would turn my face
So that I’d finally lift my eyes
From the shadows all around
Up to the glory of the skies
‘Cause nothing is wasted, not with my God
You’re making gardens out of graveyards
I bring all my hopes and all of these
‘Not how I wanted it to be’s
All of the dreams that surely, surely should have been
My wants that I thought were my needs
Come to bury these dying seeds
And then I’ll watch You turn them
Turn them into trees
I might not get to see it happening with my own eyes
I might not see that tree grow up in my lifetime
On things unseen I’ll build my life
I’ll live by faith and not by sight
So it’s alright, yes it’s alright
To bring all my hopes and all of these
‘Not how I wanted it to be’s
All of the dreams that surely, surely should have been
My wants that I thought were my needs
Come to bury these dying seeds
And then I’ll watch You turn them
I’m gonna watch You turn them
Oh I just know You’ll turn them
Turn them into trees

Unbelief
03:28
|

|
Oh all the beauty You have for me
I barely believe it
Even on the best of days
I don't know how to receive it
Sometimes I'd rather eat the crumbs that fall from Your feast
Than face the responsibility of taking my seat
So I've been stumbling down the sidewalk beside the streets of gold
And I've been racing round in circles as if Your word won't hold
I'm just existing and missing out on the best You have for me
Oh won't you help my help my unbelief
I see You dancing out on the waves
You call to me once more
But I feel so at home right here
Sitting safe on the shore
But still You speak Your truth to me and fear loses hold
Somehow this tiny seed of faith is beginning to grow
So why’ve I been stumbling down the sidewalk beside the streets of gold
And why’ve I been racing round in circles as if Your word won't hold
Why just existing and missing out on the best You have for me
Oh won't you help my help my unbelief
Now I see
That I’m the thief
I’ve robbed myself of the gift You gave to everyone
And now I face
What’s gone to waste
Faith unrisked is a song unsung
So I won’t keep stumbling down the sidewalk beside the streets of gold
And I won’t keep racing round in circles as if Your word won't hold
Not just existing and missing out on the best You have for me
I know You’ll help my help my unbelief

Lifespan
03:57
|

|
The day is much too short to even talk of killing time
We can’t pretend in life that we can hit pause or just rewind
We might not think we’re rich but there’s today in our pockets
The road less travelled on, well, it’s ours if we want to walk it
I’ll walk it
There's no way for me to know
How many days I’ve left to go
I don’t wonder if the heart beat in
My chest is worth my best
I’m gonna be all that I can
With this one lifespan
We feel invincible but our lives are hanging by a breath
What do we think we gain by leaving so many things unsaid
Why do we store it up as if to love is expensive
Truth is it’s not like money, love only grows when you spend it
So spend it
There's no way for me to know
How many days I’ve left to go
I don’t wonder if
The heart beat in
My chest is worth my best
I’m gonna love all that I can
With this one lifespan
It’s the little things that last the longest
It’s the simple steps that go the farthest
It’s the fragile things that are the strongest
The greatest stories we can tell
Are of the ways we lived it well
There's no way for us to know
How many days we’ve left to go
So don’t wonder if
The heart beat in
Your chest is worth your best
Let’s go and be all that we can
Go on and love all that we can
I’m gonna do the best I can
With this one lifespan

Spend My Life
03:56
|

|
I have a better home than this
That’s where my truest treasure is
I have a life that death can’t kill
I have forever
I have a wealth that never fades
Riches no thief can ever take
I have a glorious reward
I have forever
So I won’t hold on to the wilting grass
I will give my all for the things that last
Trade what I can’t keep for what I can’t lose
I will spend my life on You
I seek the kingdom and the King
Won’t find my joy in lesser things
I have a higher prize to win
I have forever
So I won’t hold on to the wilting grass
I will give my all for the things that last
Trade what I can’t keep for what I can’t lose
I will spend my life on You
No I won’t hold on to the wilting grass
I will give my all for the things that last
Trade what I can’t keep for what I can’t lose…
I will spend my life on You
I will spend my life on You

Even Now

I wish this sorrow had not come to me
If only You had spared me from this grief
Yet still this heavy heart, trampled and torn apart
Oh God, is holding on to who You are
Even now even now
I trust that You are good
Even now even now
My praise belongs to You
Won’t let this trouble cause me to forget
All of Your mercies, all Your faithfulness
Cause me to still rejoice, strengthen my weary voice
Oh God, You’re all my hope and all my joy
Even now even now
I trust that You are good
Even now even now
My praise belongs to You
My praise belongs to You
I will sing until I believe it
I will praise until I can feel it
Bless Your name for no other reason
I will praise You I will praise You
I will sing until I believe it
I will praise until I can feel it
Bless Your name for no other reason
I will praise You I will praise You
Even now even now
I trust that You are good
Even now even now
My praise belongs to You
My praise belongs to You
My praise belongs to You

Scars
04:15
|

|
I am the shadow on your skin
Of every fall you’ve ever taken
I am the proof of what you’ve left behind
I am the lasting evidence
Of every painful accident
Etched on a surface you can’t redesign
Didn’t I teach you not to play with fire
Didn’t I warn you not to climb so high
How many times must I remind you
Be on guard
Be careful or you’ll earn yourself another scar
I hate to say “I told you so”
But I think your heart already knows
Trading your safety brings no guarantees
I’ve heard already you’ve got plans
To reach out and risk yourself again
What if the next time I can’t stop the bleed?
Didn’t I teach you not to play with fire
Didn’t I warn you not to climb so high
How many times must I remind you
Be on guard
Be careful or you’ll earn yourself another scar
Bruises fade but scars remain
Scars remain
Time keeps passing what will stay
What will stay
Bruises fade but scars remain
Scars remain
Will you remember the healing
Or just the pain
Didn’t I give you all my good advice?
Didn’t I say that you would pay a price?
How many times must I remind you
Be on guard
Be careful or you’ll earn yourself another scar
Another scar
Another scar

Win
04:38

I know I'll never conquer you
By the might of my hands
And I know that I can't wrestle you down
I can't compare to your strength
Still I know, yes I know
Beyond a doubt I know that I'm gonna win
Like the snow
Falling falling falling silently
Like the snow
It overwhelms the land
That's how, that's how
That's how, that's how I'm gonna win
Time, time is the fiercest
Of all the weapons I wield
I choose the steady ground of patience
As my only battlefield
And I know, yes I know
Beyond a doubt I know that I'm gonna win
Like the grass
Reaching reaching reaching fearlessly
Like the grass
Breaking through cement
That's how, that's how
That's how, that's how
Like the waves
Turning turning turning endlessly
Like the waves
Turn the stones to sand
That's how, that's how
That's how, that's how I'm gonna win
I’m gonna win
I’m gonna win

O my soul
Let not your peace be stolen away
Let not despair take root
Be not downcast within me O my soul
For the goodness of the Lord pursues you now and always
O my soul He never will forsake
Rise up and praise Him O my soul
Rise up and praise your God
For so you were created
You were made to praise Him
O my soul

O my soul
Find not your joy in circumstance
Find not your strength in pride
Hunger not after empty pleasures O my soul
For the King has laid the richest feast before you every day
O my soul be satisfied by grace
Rise up and praise Him O my soul
Rise up and praise your God
For so you were created
You were made to praise Him
O my soul
O my soul
O my soul
Be quiet now before your God
His presence gives you life
Be secure and grow confident O my soul
For the Father’s arms are open and Beloved is your name
O my soul find rest in His embrace
Rise up and praise Him O my soul
Rise up and praise your God
For so you were created
You were made to praise Him
O my soul

Jesus make our faith in You
Fully alive, fully alive

Fully alive, fully alive
Jesus make our love for You

True on the outside, true on the outside

True on the outside, true on the outside
True on the outside, true on the outside

The Songs We Sing
04:36
|
|||
|
What if I’ve missed the truth until just now?
What if all this is only colour and sound?
Just catchy tunes
Just rhythm and rhyme
Just background noise
To pass the time
Oh the songs we sing
Do they mean anything?
For it’s all been said and done before
Nothing new under the sun
What’s the use of one more dreamer
What’s the point of one more song?
Is it all just a desperate foolish fear?
Is it too much to hope that someone will hear?
Beyond the melody
Beyond these chords and words
There’s more at stake
In a chorus and verse
Oh the songs we sing
Can they mean anything?
So it’s all been said and done before
Nothing new under the sun
What’s the use of one more dreamer
What’s the point of one more song?
I am drawing lines
I am taking ground
I am shining light
I am speaking out
I am planting seeds
I am feeding souls
I am healing wounds
I am slinging stones
Though it’s all been said and done before
Nothing new under the sun
Still the world needs one more dreamer
And we all need one more song
Oh the songs we sing
Oh the songs we sing
Oh the songs we sing
Oh the songs we sing
Oh the songs we sing always mean something
