“You call me the maiden of Your eye But I still can’t help but wonder why Why would You love me with an everlasting love When I’ve got nothing lovely to offer up When I was running far away Your loving-kindness sang to me You said, “My darling, Don’t you sell yourself so short Take my word for it, my all You're worth so much more” - Come back home my dear one I’m so committed to this Be made whole beloved I gave you my heart And I’d do it again My whole heart is yours for the taking I won’t hold anything against you” Prone to wander Lord I feel it Prone to leave the G-D I love But here's my heart Lord You can take and seal it Seal it for Thy courts above

Our stories, our memories of the past Time's relentless imprint on our tattered souls The currency of remembrance The investments made for the greater portion of our days The brushing of shoulders The inside jokes between the best of us, our dear ones The scars we've hidden The cherished thorn The wanderings of our mind when the heart is heavy The innovation found in boredom, yes The ease of not overthinking this [breathe] Breath, this lingering of moments In silence The calm before the storm Of your fury or your joy Brace yourself for the impact of this.. It's all we have. The look in a lover's eye when you both realize it's all going to be ok Though tomorrow still hides behind the curtain of our existence These hands hold reminders of the bumps and bruises of yesterdays The hope that keeps us still and ever invites us to wonder again Here and now is holding our end And still its where we begin.

I dressed up for your funeral Paid top dollar for these shoes Spoke a few words in your memory Syllables unbeknownst to you I played guitar when courage haunted me Shared sorrows of joy and pain Spared the air of all my curses Knowing you'd 've done the same But the ghost I feared most Was the laughter I loathed in anguish Mercy's made new in the morning But sometime I just wanna stay in bed Your ma was proud of her baby Your father's cheeks worn red from tears Brothers stood strong enough to honor One they'd looked up to for all these years But the ghost I feared most Was the laughter I loathed in anguish Mercy's made new in the morning But sometimes I just wanna stay in bed The dial of time, she runs ahead To make a name for all her children And we succumb to all this striving As victims yet born to overcome We are born to overcome We are born to overcome We are more than conquerors In the spotless risen Son We are born to overcome We are born to overcome We are more than conquerors In the spotless risen Son The risen Son Though I may not yet understand The breadth of days that I have left I know you see the other side And you beg me to press ahead

What used to be Oceans of skin Have turned more violent Than the sea Even here As I lay beside you There's this feeling That I can't shake Staring constant In a mirror of shame I cannot peel My eyes away I am the compliment To your cowardice Could this be our withering Crushed linen Now covered in blood Thought I woke up In an abattoir In the end We're all buried in time This is our withering Was this God's behest Impossible pursuit I move through the room As she says The truth is I am a burden I held you there Frozen in time My mind went blank With yours open wide I held you there Please don't leave me But you'll never wake up Please don't leave me But you'll never wake up

When I close my eyes Did I expect to see The forest of my life In amongst the trees I wasted so much time Searching for a meaning Measuring my life By counting up the rings I am growing old Longing for relief With every second's pass Like turning of the leaves Listless I lay down Buried underneath The softened sod and breeze Forever more to sleep Branches touch the sky Roots spread underneath And hold me in my place Despite the winter sleep Everything will change Like winter into spring Nothing can remain Just add another ring

We hang our heads low In the stillness of the air Like half-mast flags on flag poles O we've been tattered Tossed to and fro Like rag dolls This tempest roars and intimidates The beast as she lies in wait Hidden as her dark canopy Dresses and disguises her With terror and mystery Misunderstood yet menacing Misunderstood yet menacing... Are we forgotten, alone Is there still yet hope Am I forgotten, alone Orphaned hearts with an orphaned soul "Have you ever felt so fragile?" We hang our heads low As in the stillness of prayer We spout off our requests O we've battered And bruised by the fall From which we've shattered Of men, we are messes And we fear the calm With groans of agony That become a pale symphony The image of God Yet mirror blind to His imagery Yet mirror blind to His imagery... But look to the stars, my son look to the shores and count the vast expanse of my thoughts toward you. O if you can only number the grains of sand, maybe you can know just a fraction of my good plans for you. And how I long for you to know me as YOUR FATHER. O don't you know my child, you are enough. YOU ARE ENOUGH. You were built for a kingdom that will not fade You were worth the war You were worth the price I paid O violent grace O violent mercy That saved a wretch like me O violent grace O violent mercy The blood that purchased my destiny
