Romans 10

Let all those who can breathe praise the Lord
Let your instruments swell
Break the air from her spell
Let all those who can breathe praise the Lord

If you do not the rocks will cry out
And these stones without name 
Will have put you to shame
If you do not the rocks will cry out

For you are but a breath praise the Lord
And be carried along
By a wind that is strong
For you are but a breath praise the Lord

Praise the Lord in your joy and your tears
For he's given you each
That through all he may teach
Praise the Lord in your joy and your tears

Let All Those Who Can Breathe

Promises (2009)

There's an angel in every dream
And a devil down every drain
Knocked around between
And just trying to stay sane
Held up by your schemes
Anchored to the ground
The middle never seems 
Any bit profound but

All your promises are like
Wind on the ocean
All your promises take me home
All your promises are
Gravity’s devotion
All your promises take me home

There's a bullet for every chest
Waiting to get in
And a doctor just trying his best
But he's cutting way too thin
There's a light there's a choice there's a fire
That you cannot sneak by
There are prophets in the desert babe
Holding dark deeds up high.

Joel Latterell's Album

All Your Promises

Take your time I am not ready yet
Walk the line: grown thicker with time
All my life I’ve run from home
I’ve run from home

Paint the days read them like gospel now
Calm my shoes they’re burned through the soles
‘Cause all my life I’ve run from home
I’ve run from home

Crosses left: taken up unsuspected
Yours for me, mine always for you
And all my life, I’ll run to home
I’ll run to home

Sera's Song

If our bones were enough for
Time to escape them
I’d raise them up to fight
And drag them up to light
I’d take the shapes that only they
Could know

If our blood was enough for
Time to wake us
I’d huddle off the sheets
And dance you to the beat
We’d never spill enough to have 
To go

Time goes by
I don’t mind
Skin will fly
Into night

Plenty walls could contain us
If we let them
Let’s shuffle off the coil
And sink back to the soil
We’ve been the ghosts that haunted
All along

If Our Bones

I Love You Mommy

Opal's First Song

To know the knife 
The mail won't stop 
To hold it carefully 
And to let it drop 

And such is love 
To bind your hate 
To throw it to the sea 
Driven down by weight 

And all our scattered dreams could not prepare us for this fate 
To love with all, forgive with all: To worry not, and wait 

Walked miles in shoes 
Worn down and failed 
Tried pairs and pairs and pairs 
Left meandering trails 

Build towers tall 
Ran as they fell 
Heard words I tried to say 
Sound like ringing bells

To Know The Knife

It is for freedom that Christ has set you free
Do not be bound in old slavery

Stand firm and do not take obligations new
Hold to a righteousness still coming true

All that has value Faith shown forth as love
Pay by your own works never earn enough

Let not your freedom leave you at a loss
Let the offense of your life be the cross

Bite and devour like dogs that went mad
Love is the meal: must be shared to be had

Galatians 5

Golache.m4a

Let your light

Blessed are the riches forfeit,
Those who've had pockets turned, 
Stripped down of all their stolen bread,
Given a wage unearned.

Blessed are the hopeless sinners,
Those spirits poor and down,
Blessed are the exiles wandering,
That kingdoms might be found.

Blessed are the weeping children,
A mother's arms they'll find,
Singing the song of neediness,
And never left behind.

Blessed are the bitter lonely,
With none to make their peace,
Given a family, name and home,
With blood to sign the lease.
