MORTAL

So we hold within the tempest
Straining, unrelenting - breathless
While sails catch the winds and tear
Reckless, straining - without care

Until the tempest passes
The waters calm, the morning rises
Our hope secure and unrelenting
We are waiting to be pulled to shore

If we knew tomorrow's answer
Faith could not unveil our heart
As we strive through the sightless
The Maker proves His mark

Oh; this mourning may not be consoled
Yet, as we weep within the hold;
We are brought where we would never search
Past the tombs of blinding earth

Years you've waited for - when come at last;
We are broken from this feeble cast
Within, you'll greet the reason
Why you had to weep

Through the tempest unrelenting
We endure to the end
May we see the ache before us
As our making and our mend

Flood and Freedom Sessions

Tempest (To The End)

Jesus is coming back - Gonna claim His own
Jesus is coming back - Every soul is gonna know

Before the liar deceived,
Before wisdom sang to the seas,
Before the dawn of day;
The Lamb was slain

Friday night, the curtain tears in two
The pagan soldier himself could see the truth
Set in stone, guarded by the earth
The Father's will brought the Son's return

They will take us before kings
They will kill our mortal bodies
We will witness to the end
We will watch our life begin

Jesus is Coming Back

I am thirsty - misery meddles with my psyche
Your hand . . . heavy on me; I stand outside their revelry

They are all together foolish; disciples of delusion
Raise high their elements of mere earth

Your word - my delight, my disgrace
The crest of my rejected namesake
They say “Do not speak!” The words You have fed me
My countrymen, my kindred; vow to kill me

They are all together foolish; disciples of delusion
Raise high their 

Elements of mere earth:
These gods who did not fashion our world nor universe
Will melt apart from glory of He who founded earth

The galaxy from His mind
While everyman is senseless
Their pleasures are a fraud
The Maker of all things
Is the only true God

Turn; I will restore you as my spokesman
Extract the valuable from worthless
Bronze; they will not overtake you
I AM with you to save you
I AM with you to deliver
I AM with you to redeem you
