This is the first of a couple tracks we started last year that pull toward a slightly different place than our other work so far. It's a little less congregational, a little more cryptic. This one in particular wrestles with the paradox of faith--being simultaneously at war and in love with it. The central image came out of Advent last year, with the idea of the Wise Men being led by a light, traveling such a monumental distance for reasons they could not have completely understood. More than any of our other material, this one still feels like a work in progress, but it's also a really fun song to play as a band. If you're listening to it here, I sincerely hope you get the chance to hear it live at an upcoming show. Cheers!
lyrics
V1: 
Deep as ages coming 
And the desert falls away beneath the eastern sky 
I don't know why we're running 
A couple years have gone and I can see the end of times 

Ch: 
But it's all I've ever known 
Deeps as hearts can ever go 
We're all following a light that we may never know 
But I don't think I can let this go, not now 

V2: 
I think we nearly lost it 
The point of all this in the pages we have kept so long 
When all along it's moving 
The Word was with Him when He breathed us into all we are 

If there's a chance in hell, I don't know now 
It's the only place I've ever seen us put ourselves 

B: 
What can change this time, even if You come? 
Cause the battle's lost and I've lost my home 
The years have gone and all I see is the end of times

All I've Ever Known

Have Your Way

By Joe Cutshall

V1: 
I am a sinner, I am cast apart from You 
I am lost upon the ocean, blind and searching for the truth 
You are a Savior, come in flesh to call me home 
And Your words my only anchor, the only truth I've ever known 

V2: 
Two thousand years gone, and the world forgot Your name 
I sold the beauty of Your Kingdom, for this shipwrecked soul I am 
But You are the answer, as You are and ever-were 
You're the Alpha and Omega, You're the Savior of the world 

Ch: 
Find me here, I am Yours 
The hour's dark, but You're my home 
Be my light, save my soul 
O Lord my God, my only hope 

V3: 
You are redemption to the emptiness we are 
And in Your strength we can take heart, for You have overcome the world 
Your love is patient, keeps no record of my wrongs, 
But Christ you break my heart relentless by Your death upon the Cross 

Br: 
O God, do not be silent 
Break free the captives of this world 
Come now Your mighty Kingdom 
To reign in majesty and love 
We lift our lives before You 
Almighty Maker of it all 
Redeem what has been broken 
Make all things new inside Your love 

V4: 
Here in the darkness, in the coldest hour of morn 
I am begging just to see You, just to know you haven't gone 
But I'll wait upon You, You who died to show me love 
Who has walked through death unbroken 
And who promised to return

Find Me Here

I'll Fly Away

"No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:37-39

Behold the Father and the Son
And the Spirit of the Lord
The Spirit of the Lord
Come and see what he has done
The power of his heart
The power of his word

Do not weep or be afraid
He knows you as you are
He knows you as you are
There is freedom in his name
Kindness in his heart
Kindness in his heart

Throw off your chains
There is victory
There is victory

He will dwell inside of you
Make your heart his home
Make your heart his home
And all the death that's holding you
Will die upon his cross
Will die upon his cross

There's no height, no depth too low
To take you from his love
To take you from his love
He's our country, he's our home
And he will not leave us now
He will not leave us now

Throw off your chains
There is victory
There is victory

And no power can withhold
The love of Christ the Son
Whom no hell could overthrow
Whom no grave could overcome
