I watched the nurses try to reach her
drugs came slowly like a dream
When Death comes circling round the bedside
he can bring any man to his knees
Waited two years until November
we though it came without a sign
Pain can make a heart stop beating
but in its wake bring a new life

Let it pass, let it pass from me
this drink may knock me down 
but I'll get up on my feet
Stay awake, stay awake awhile
if this cup is whats in front of me
I'll drink it till its dry
but the only way to go is through the night

You made 'em sit and wait there with you
Son of man in darkness with his friends
Whirling wolves with sticks and torches
not a word, you gave yourself to them
Bound and mocked you made your way there
a hill of skulls, your final place
Jesus your face was set to heaven
but first you walked unbeaten through the grave



Through The Night

Up from the dust you made us
and to dust we will return
All of our fleeting loves are buried in the ground
All of this life's ambition
swept away in an instant
The flood of death has come to pour us in our graves

There is hope within the groaning
Silver lines upon our grieving
For a Kingdom is coming
we will rise up to meet it
When the King of Glory comes

Bury your dead while you still can
a promise of his return
Empty tombs play witness to the blessed end
City of Glory will descend
Songs of angels fill the air
Our glorious Groom has come to claim his bride

Rise up
Wake up
O Sleeping ones
For the King of Glory comes

The King Of Glory Comes (co-write with Zack Olsen aka Zolsen)

She says, “I’m leaving when the first of spring has shown itself,
winter won’t be a traveler’s friend.
The snow is nice but I prefer the sound of rain that falls
it helps one to forget where they’ve been"

They may tell you
in all your school books
this land was stolen with a gun
But the truth is darling,
a big ol’ steam train
is how the west was won (how it was won…)

When you fall do you resent the bitter taste of dirt,
or pitch a tent to meet the coming night?
Who you become can be determined by what you decide;
to run away or stand up tall and fight

When all your secrets
come back to haunt you
will you turn to run?
The truth is darling,
the honest rails are
the ones that lead back home (that lead back home…)

Press your face against the glass, girl do you see your eyes,
and all those painted devils that you let inside?
When you step out on this platform will you know a soul,
or be forced to recollect every love you’ve known?
Will you breathe the air of glory or be choked by strife?
O board the train that leads you to eternal life

When all your secrets 
are shattered memories and
crushed beneath his throne
The truth is darling,
a big ol’ steam train
has brought you straight back home (brought you back home…)

Steam Train

What screaming love came streaming forth
From broken veins in Jesus’ side
O blood of Christ and water pure
That purges clean the sinner’s pride
Jesus, Perfect, Given One
Slain to pay our debt
Who purchased us to be the sons
And daughters of the King

How deep and treacherous did I know
My world consumed and held in sin
The wrath of God deserved by me
Was placed upon the Lord instead
Deeper was the grace of God
Who died to make a way
When through the cross He tore the veil
That all may enter in

What can I give to you my God
No riches could the earth provide
To match the wondrous gift you gave
A Son who came to give his life
Life eternal found in Him
For all who love the Son
A priesthood holy dressed in grace
A people He has won

Jesus, Perfect Given One

There is a stillness fixed out there
That I can’t fit inside my chest
A cold and ageless, living breath I need
Pressed beneath a weight of heat
Open as the sky is deep
I’d take it if my hands could reach at all
Maybe I’ll know it as a father
Maybe when, maybe when she comes

A calm is swelling fast around
While she makes her mama beam
Swirling through the room with spoken dreams of night
Bright and warm her voice rings out
She sings and writes with tears aloud
Letters poured for her and one before
Maybe I’ll know it as a father
Maybe when, maybe when she comes

You watched me grasp at all those leaves
Desperate to believe again
Struggling for a clearer glimpse of you
The world we know is marked for time
It spins and shakes our bodies while
The good we clench is sifted through our hands
Maybe I’ll know it as a son
Maybe I’ll feel it like the dawn
Daylight will break me, I’ve come undone
Maybe when, maybe when You come
