Verse 1
Flee as a bird to your mountain
Thou who art weary of sin
Go to the clear, flowing fountain
Where you may be washed and cleansed
Fly for the avenger is near thee
Call and the Savior will hear thee
He on His bosom will bear thee
Thou who art weary of sin, thou who art weary of sin

Verse 2
He is the bountiful giver
Now unto Him draw near
Peace then shall flow like a river
Thou shall be saved from fear
Haste then the hours are flying
Spend not your moments in sighing
Cease from your sorrow and crying
The Savior will wipe your tears, the Savior will wipe your tears

Chorus
Flee as a bird
Flee as a bird, whoa --
Flee as a bird
To your mountain

Verse 3
He will protect thee forever
He will redeem from sin
Blessed with the sense of His favor
Make thee all clean within
Call for the Savior is near thee
Waiting in mercy to hear thee
He by His Presence will cheer thee
Thou who art weary of sin, thou who art weary of sin

Verse
You stand like a lighthouse
So tall in the harbor
The waves can be strong, Lord
With each step close toward You I'm stronger

Verse 1
Who will rend the praise to You, who will give the glory due
Who will intercede for peace, who will pray with fervency 
Who will worship unashamed without borders & joy untamed
To pull down Heaven with voices raised and brand its kiss upon this place

Chorus
I will be the one in the midst of no one 
A voice crying in the wilderness

Verse 2 
Who will take up their cross and bear it from unto the lost
To shelter orphans & widows, feed them food & give them clothes
Who will baptize disciples from every nation great & small
Adopted to be called Your own and see the prodigals welcomed home

Verse 3
Who will steward well Your love, in rhythm walk with Your heart
Who will shepherd Your pure bride & watch for thieves in the night
Who will draw in Truth their sword, pierce the dark & wage in war
Who will stand in a lion's pose & shout aloud with courageous roar!

Verse 4
Who will go prepare the way, lift You high & bring You fame
Declare Your goodness upon this earth, host Your Presence, share Your worth
Who will speak in Jesus' name & raise the dead up from their grave
Release the healing with hands laid, for barrenness to awake

WILDERNESS

Reflection
Words & Music by Matthew Ryan Dunbar

Verse 1
Men look at the outward
The Lord looks at the heart
A fool is one who's reflection he forgot
I see my reflection staring back at me
From the mirror of Your heart is it who I should be
Is the life I'm living consist of good fruit
Just like You, Jesus
Or does my heart & mind conform to
and sow into the cares of earthly things

Chorus
May my own speech be a reflection of what You speak
May my thoughts reflect what You think of me 
May my own walk be a reflection of how You lead
Of how You lead me Lord, of how You lead
May I reflect You

Verse 2
Don't want to sound a trumpet
For men to see my deeds
Don't want to do as a hypocrite 
I want rewards in private 
When I pray may I resort to a place
With the door shut behind me
You are there in secrecy

Bridge
I gotta put on the new and forget the old
I'm not held by my chains no more
With unveiled face I'm being transformed by Your glory

Verse 1 
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall where that crown 
Good Lord, show me the way

Chorus
Oh (Sisters/Brothers/Fathers/Mothers) let's go down
Let's go down, oh let's go down
Oh (Sisters/Brothers/Fathers/Mothers) let's go down
Down in the river to pray

Verse 2
We gotta get these chains set free
Gotta get em free!

Bridge
Oh Jesus, I lay my burdens down in the river
I pray, "Oh Jesus I let my sins go"
And You drown them
Sinners let's go down, let's go down, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

FREED CHAINS

By Faith
Lyrics & Music by Matthew Ryan Dunbar
©2012 Turn Tale Music

Verse 1 
This storm it might seem so contentious 
A relentless sea bashing me
The sounds of dissonance, appended by clashes
Wavering they seem but they can't get to me

Chorus
By faith I will surely move
My heart so bold and upright
I press on not with my eyes
By faith I will move 

Verse 2
Exhausting shores adorned in property that's faint
I'm consumed by a holy Fire above the temptations of worldly gain
The sounds of dissonance, appended by clashes 
Wavering they seem but they can't get to me

Bridge
My refining God
You have dispersed my mind
You renewed my life with the scent of glory 
You still the fury
You temper the hatred 
You stand right by me and I'm never forsaken

BY FAITH

Lyrics & Music by Matthew Ryan Dunbar

Verse 
You tore the shackles off my feet so I can dance
You tore the shackles off my feet so I can run
You tore the shackles off my feet so I can live
Live for You, all for You

Chorus
You delivered me, You delivered me
From the house of bondage and grief 
I love You, I love You
You delivered me and now I'm free

Bridge
You drank the cup of my iniquities 
Poured out upon the mercy seat 
The fragrance of Your sweet resurrection 
Is the smell of all victory
