Bring Forth the Light

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

Breathe into us, Lord life giving love for we are dead without You.
Breathe into us, Lord life giving love for we are dead without You.

You created the stars that shine to tell Your story unveil Your glory.
You're the space in between the lines, the ghost unseen alive inside us.

Breathe into us, Lord life giving love for we are dead without.
Breathe into us, Lord life giving love for we are dead without You.

Hearts and stones and tongues are singing You are all I need!
Heaven as on earth is singing You are all I need!

So, breathe into us, Lord life giving love for we are dead without.
Breathe into us, Lord life giving love for we are dead without You.


Breathe

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never be today is all I have.
What's this heart to do when all I want to do is give it back to you?

Live to give it all away, every second, every day.
All my life's a song of praise!  Give it all away!

I just want to stay forever in your love but forever is never enough!
What's this heart to do when all I want to do is give it back to you?

Live to give it all away, every second, every day.
All my life's a song of praise!
Live to give it all away, every second, every day.
All I have is yours today!

Shout it out!  Scream it from the rooftops!  Shout it out!
Shout it out!  Scream it from the roof!  Oh!  Oh!  Oh!
Shout it out!  Scream it from the rooftops!  Shout it out!
Shout it out!  Scream it from the roof!  Oh!  Oh!  Oh!

Live to give it all away, every second, every day.

Live to Give

Where have you been, my desire?
It's good to finally meet you once again.
Where is the place where fascination finds a friend?
One, two, three, five or ten?

I can never, ever compromise.  I can never, ever compromise.

How could it be there's a distance between you and me
if you're so good at love?
Is there a way to make this guilt all go away
when I'm falling for the same mistakes?

I can never, ever compromise.  I can never, ever compromise.
I can never, ever compromise.  I can never, ever compromise.

I cannot understand why sometimes I become the thing I hate.
I cannot understand why sometimes I become the thing I hate.

I can never, ever compromise.  I can never, ever compromise.
I can never, ever compromise.  I can never, ever compromise.
I can never, ever compromise.  I can never, ever compromise.
I can never, ever compromise.  I can never, ever compromise.

My Desire

Been all over God's creation looking for something, 
just a sign of life!
There's only so much we can give before we find, 
we find that we've given everything away!
Give me something real I can taste and feel!

A reason to rejoice!  Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Rejoice!

I want nothing more, I'll take nothing less than everything!  
God bless this holy mess!  this holy mess!
Tell me why am I so sarcastic?
I hide behind these plastic remedies!
Give me something real I can taste and feel!

A reason to rejoice!  Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Rejoice!

Oh!  Oh!  Oh!  Oh!
Give me something real I can taste and feel!
Give me something real!  A reason to rejoice!
Give me something real I can taste and feel!
Give me something real!  A reason to rejoice!

Rejoice

Everybody's swimming in their heads.
Like a satellite in outer space.
I get the feeling time is running out
dreaming and not waking up.

When we leave earth, we won't feel pain, never another tear.
When we leave earth, we won't need sight when everything is clear.
Only love, only love, only love remains.

No one understand the void I feel 
to lose the taste of things I know are real.
If I could only take a photograph
I know I'm never coming back.

When we leave earth, we will be still, an infinite embrace.
When we leave earth, we won't need help for all of our mistakes.
Only love, only love, only love remains.
Only love, only love, only love remains.

Once a shadow becomes an image we know we're almost home.
Once a shadow becomes an image we know we're almost home.

When we leave earth, when we leave earth, only love remains!
When we leave earth, when we leave earth, only love remains!
Only love, only love, only love remains.
Only love, only love, only love remains.
