Looking at the road ahead
Coming to a bend
I may lose a lover here
I may lose a friend

If that is what happens
If that should come to pass
I may not be able to
Withstand the blast

I need you,  I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cuz I love you and I’m willing to fight

Looking at these circumstances
Staring in my face
Makes me blink, turns my head
Makes me look away

If this was my Alamo
A last stand metaphor
The meaning clearly points to this:
I need you even more!

I need you, I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cause I love you and I’m willing to fight

I won't be the one that let's you get away
And in spite of all this pain I will stand
But I will be the one who loves you to the end
More than just a friend, I'm your man

I need you,  I need you
I need you like the clouds need the sky
I need you and I’m not going to let you get away
Cause I love you and I’m willing  to fight
I love you, I love you
I love you and I’m willing to fight

Fight for You

That Part

[Verse 1]
Finally sober for the first time in my life
Excuses are over and the truth fits just right
Finally over all the drama and the lies
Finally over saying sorry one more time

[Chorus]
Oh this damage
Every time I fix one another one pops up
Burns me like an acid
Seeps beneath my skin and melts around my blood
Oh this damage
Try my best to stop it and try to play tough
But there's a crack in my dam and
Oh it does

[Verse 2]
Who have I hurt? You're deserving more than this
I'll free you from these knives drippin' with my selfishness
Who have I killed just from loving them too much
Pumped the brakes 'fore I crash and burn 'cause one touch ain't enough

[Chorus]
Oh this damage
Every time I fix one another one pops up
Burns me like an acid
Seeps beneath my skin and melts around my blood
Oh this damage
Try my best to stop it and try to play tough
But there's a crack in my dam and
Oh it does

[Bridge]
It was 2002 the last time I felt pretty
He told me I was dark and twisted
Fast forward twenty-three years later
He does it again just like my father did

[Chorus]
Still this damage
Every time I fix one another one pops up
Burns me like an acid
Seeps beneath my skin and melts around my blood
Oh this damage
Try my best to stop it and try to play tough
But there's a crack in my dam and
[Outro]
Oh this damage
Burns me like an acid
This damage

This Damage

Verse1
I don’t think about the end
Or how things will play out
I live inside my optimism
Don’t contemplate my doubt

I don’t think about this much
The thought is like ghost
But when it comes it bothers me
That no one really knows

Chorus 1
Could this be my last day on the earth
Could this be my last day on the earth
Could this be my last day 
Could this be my last day
Could this be my last day on the earth

Verse 2
Can’t control my time 
Or what it takes away 
But every breath I try to hold 
And cherish in some way

Laughs and tears they come and go
I can’t comprehend 
That if today’s the final page  
I couldn’t write the end

Chorus 2
Could this be my last day on the earth
Could this be my last day on the earth
Could this be my last day 
Could this be my last day
Could this be my last day on the earth

Bridge
If this was my last day 
And my days on earth did cease
I could lay my head upon the lap 
Of earth in perfect peace

I said, If this was my last day 
and my days on earth did cease
I could lay my head upon the lap 
Of earth in perfect peace

Chorus 3
Could this be my last day on the earth
Could this be my last day on the earth
Could this be my last day 
Could this be my last day
Could this be my last day on the earth

Outro
Could this be
Oh could this be
Could this be my last day on the earth
Could this be
Could this be
Could this be my last day on the earth

Could This Be My Last Day on the Earth?

Introduction
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Verse 1
Selfishness and broken dreams
Bring out unkind words from me
And leaves such deep regret

Could there be another way
To find my peace and mediate
And every need is met

Chorus 1
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Verse 2
I build up walls draw hard lines
Forget the hurt in others' eyes
Alas, I feel forlorn

But grace still calls across the breach
A greater love within my reach
To bind what pride has torn

Chorus 2
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Bridge
Only Your kingdom reigning in me
Can change my perceptions of all that I see
Only Your kingdom enthroned in my soul
Can heal and deliver and break down the walls

Chorus 3
May Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Outro
Your kingdom come 
Your will be done
May Your kingdom come
Your kingdom come
As it is in heaven 


As It Is in Heaven

New album 'Parabolic' coming soon

A man had two sons, the youngest one said: 'I am going' 
'Give me my share of property that is coming' 
He soon went away, squandered his wealth in wild living
Fell into need, longed for pig's feed, he had nothing

'The servants of my father have abundance 
Yet here I perish hungry and alone 
I will arise and go back in repentance 
And say that I have sinned, I'm not his son.' 

I'm coming home... 
I'm coming home... 

But in the distance, you saw me 
Before I could say I was wrong 
In compassion, you ran straight towards me 
Kissed me and embraced me as your son 

Dressed in your robe 
Shoes on my feet 
A ring on my hand 
The best food to eat 
Dead but now living 
Lacking for nothing 
I thought I was going 
But now I'm coming home...

Parabolic

Prodigal

Order my steps, O Lord 
Establish the way               
I trust in You with all my heart
I honor Your name
Steady my steps, O Lord
Keep my heart pure
Let me walk in Your promises
Where I'm secure               

Let all things work together for good
He will change those shadows into light
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls, becoming our delight
All things work together for His purposes and His plans
Beyond our understanding at times
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls
Becoming our delight

Establish my steps O Lord
As I try to plan my way
Lead me and guide my feet
For Your namesake
Keep my paths straight, Lord
Keep me upright
Let no temptation hinder my life

If all things work together for good
Then He will change our shadows into light
And He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our soul becoming our delight
All things work together for His purposes and His plan
Beyond our understanding at times
He will bring His presence into every step we take
Comforting our souls 
Becoming our delight
He’s comforting our souls 
Becoming our delight

Every Step

Wisdom

Love is as strong as death (Song 8)

Verse 1
Living God I come to you
Supplying me my daily food
Living God…   I come to You
Providing me our daily bread
The food of life.  That’s what you said
Living God…  I know it’s true 
Chorus 
Living God you have made a way for me
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Verse 2
God of life I lift You up
What You provide is quite enough
Living God…   I lift You up
Giving me what I need most
Sustaining grace to keep me close
To Your side…   Living God

Chorus 
Living God you have made a way for me
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Bridge
God of the life…   You have given to me
Born from the water and Spirit— I’m complete
And the life... I now live… in the body… I live
By faith in the living God 

Outro 
Living God you have made a way for me 
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on that tree
Because of Him I am a new creation
Because of Him I can say that
You are the living God!

Living God
