Your Love (26 Aug 2011)

In You I fall apart.  Pieces of a broken heart fashioned into one.
The body and the Son.

Jesus, You are holy.  Wash us with Your blood.
Oceans of Your mercy.  Drown us in Your love.

Precious in Your eyes.  Though my hands are dirty.
Grace has made me clean.  Let Your kingdom come.  Let Your kingdom come.

Jesus, You are holy.  Wash us with Your blood.
Oceans of Your mercy.  Drown us in Your love.

Save us, save us, save us now.
Save us, save us, save us now.

The greater that I sin, the less you keep a count of them.

Jesus, You are holy.  Wash us with Your blood.
Oceans of Your mercy.  Drown us in Your love.

Save us, save us, save us now.
Save us, save us, save us now.

5 Drown Us In Your Love

If I get back home.  I will never be the same anymore.

When you're high on inspiration nothing satisfies the itch.
You can always play to lose but you can never, ever win.
If I get back home.

How long will it be until I can taste the life that's mine
I know it's real.

I can give more than I take, but I will always want it back.
You can tie me to the train tracks, it will all just fade to black.

When you're high on inspiration nothing satisfies the itch.
You can always play to lose but you can never, ever win.
I can give more than I take, but I will always want it back.
You can tie me to the train tracks, it will all just fade to black.
If I get back home.

4 Home

It's warmer in the night.
I loose you in the light fading.
I'm falling with the star that lit our sky.

I know we're better together.  Tonight, let's make it forever.
Without you.  Without you.  Without You, oh.
I can't make it without you.
Without you.  Without you.  Without You, oh.
I can't make it without you.
You're my blood.  You save my soul.
Without you.  Without you.  Without You, oh.

Sadness disappears.

3 Without You

I can't believe in a heaven without earth.
So much has passed what is it all worth.  
I cannot find, I cannot find my way alone.
We make mistakes, we make amends, we're skin and bones.

How can it be when I've seen all I can see.
Love can show up so unexpectedly.
Where can I run, where can I hide to be alone?
You kiss my lips, you hold my hand we're skin and bones.

Skin and bones and memories
Skin and bones and memories
We are more than human.
Skin and bones and memories
Skin and bones and memories.

We look to the stars when the cosmos is inside us
The mystery of time is beyond our simple minds
Where can I run, where can I hide to be alone?
Now I can see I don't believe we're just skin and bones.

Skin and bones and memories
Skin and bones and memories
We are more than human.
Skin and bones and memories
Skin and bones and memories.

Skin and bones and memories
Skin and bones and memories
We are more than human.
Skin and bones and memories
Skin and bones and memories.


2 Skin + Bones

Now I'm seeing with new eyes, It could've been Your smile.  
I didn't even recognize.

Now I'm feeling with new skin, My heart beats within.
I'm ready to begin again.

It's gonna take a while.  It's gonna take a while.
It's gonna take a while longer.

Tick tock, like the clicking of a clock.
Boom boom like the pounding of a drum
The beat goes on.  Life goes on.

You're the lungs that I breathe through.  Making everything new.
The hope I keep holding to.

This is what I've dreamed of before I knew love.
You were born from up above.

It's gonna take a while.  It's gonna take a while.
It's gonna take a while longer.

Tick tock, like the clicking of a clock.
Boom boom like the pounding of a drum
The beat goes on.  Life goes on.

Time speeds up the healing process.
Life goes on in spite of darkness.

It's gonna take a while.  It's gonna take a while.
It's gonna take a while longer.

Tick tock, like the clicking of a clock.
Boom boom like the pounding of a drum
The beat goes on.  Life goes on.


1 The Beat Goes On

Twilight Yields it's place as night time slips away.
Through the grey of another day like a meloncholy haze.
I know there's so much more than this lonely breath.
I still believe right not this life is not the end.

Bring forth the light.  Show me a sign.  Be my desire.  Bring forth the light.

I can't see beyond the stars, but I know that's where you are.
The taste of happiness like a hunger in my heart.
The time is coming when everything I see
will fade away into the night like forgotten memories so I'm begin' you...

Bring forth the light.  Show me a sign.  Be my desire.  Bring forth the light.
Oh, Bring forth the light.  Show me a sign.  Be my desire.  Bring forth the light.

Why do I try to please everyone?  It all falls apart.
I pull myself together but I never, ever get to the heart.
All I can bring is nothing that you don't have.
I'd lose everything just to bring you this song.

I will sing to you, my love, my audience of one, audience of one.
I will sing to you, my love, my audience of one, audience of one.

Why do I need to be needed if you're my everything?
Why do I rely on a feeling to know you're here?
All I can bring is nothing that you don't have.
I'd lose everything just to bring you this song.

I will sing to you, my love, my audience of one, audience of one.
I will sing to you, my love, my audience of one, audience of one.

There's nothing that can keep me from the one who gives me life.
I'd do anything just to stay right by your side!

I will sing to you, my love, my audience of one, audience of one.
I will sing to you, my love, my audience of one, audience of one.

I will sing to you, my love, my audience of one, audience of one.
I will sing to you, my love, my audience of one, audience of one.

Audience of One

Thank you for the pain and all the ways that you have captured me and set me free.
Healing like a wound enough to know that bleeding is the cure and nothing more.
I drank your medicine.  It tasted sweeter than the state I'm in, the state I'm in.

Your love.  Your love.

The cancer deep inside, like water into wine it changes me.  It raptures me.
I see beyond the scars, the sweet and bitter parts are everlasting and violent, too.
You cannot catechize it, or even euthanize a love so true.  It's ever new.

Your love.  Your love.
Your love.  Your love.

Your love calls me to, carries me through, to your heart.
Your love pulls me out, lifts me up to your heart.

Your love.  Your love.
Your love.  Your love.

Your Love

Wake up and name your demons.
They're real though you can't see 'em.
I've found freedom in the ashes.  Love is rising from it's knees.

We are here, here and now, turn it up, make it loud!
There's an enemy!  There's an enemy!
And we're not satisfied by your same tired lies!
There's an enemy that you can't believe!
na na na na na na na na na na

Baby, now there's no debate.
'Cause liars and counterfeits are going to meet their fate.
I've found freedom in the ashes.  Love is rising from it's knees.

We are here, here and now, turn it up, make it loud!
There's an enemy!  There's an enemy!
And we're not satisfied by your same tired lies!
There's an enemy that you can't believe!
na na na na na na na na na na

Oh, We are here, here and now, turn it up, make it loud!
There's an enemy!  There's an enemy!
And we're not satisfied by your same tired lies!
There's an enemy!  There's an enemy!
We are here, here and now, turn it up, make it loud!
There's an enemy!  There's an enemy!
And we're not satisfied by your same tired lies!
There's an enemy!  There's an enemy!
There's an enemy!  There's an enemy!
There's an enemy that you can't believe!
na na na na na na na na na na

Enemy

I love your hand in mine, I love the way you say it's gonna be alright.
You always were the one, since we were young when you stole my heart.

Everything I hold dear.
Everything that I hold dear.
Everything I hold dear is changed by you.

You elevate my soul, give me a reason when I don't even care.
Truth is you see through my lies, give me courage to let down the world.

Everything I hold dear.
Everything that I hold dear.
Everything I hold dear is changed by you.

Everything I hold dear.
Everything I hold dear.
Everything I hold dear.
Everything I hold dear is changed by you
is changed by you
is changed by you.

Changed by You
