LYRICS:

A river wrought by mercy flows and gathers at thy feet 
We launch upon repentance setting sail upon its sea
The wind of words the prophets spoke 
The writings of the fathers
They move us close 
They bring us close 

And He takes me to the riverbed 
and washes me beneath the waves 
And He takes me to the riverbed 
and washes me beneath the waves 

I will not be clean
I will not be clean until you wash me

A river wrought with mercy flows 
Now spring to life, thou guilty soul
You’re already loved 
Came ye lame, who walk no more
Arise and raise your bed this morn’ 
And stretch your knees, so worn
And run to meet the shore

So we gather at the river 
And we lay our burdens down 
And I feel my soul delivered 
And I drown beneath loves sound 

And He takes me to the riverbed 
and washes me beneath the waves 
And He takes me to the riverbed 
and washes me beneath the waves 

The Riverbed

LYRICS:

There is a King who’s blood brings forth new life.
Who’s dwelling place gleams with bliss beyond measure,
immortal and sweet.

Is heaven so near?
Does glory come nigh?
It’s welcome I fear,
as His holiness shines.

And can it be?	
Oh the great depth of mercy
cause there stands a gate
left open for me,
left open for me,
left open for me,
left open for me.

Radiance gleamed
from the doors and the windows,
and there stands a gate,
left open for me,
left open for me,
left open for me,
left open for me.

Sing, oh redeemed!
Your Savior has vanquished what you were before,
and given you peace.
Your wandering soul,
it will wander no more.

Cause you’ve walked down a path,
and it led to a tree,
and it led by a tomb 
that was open and clean!

And can it be?	
Oh the great depth of mercy
cause there stands a gate
left open for me,
left open for me,
left open for me,
left open for me.

Radiance gleamed
from the doors and the windows,
and there stands a gate,
left open for me,
left open for me,
left open for me,
left open for me.

Ohhh, wandering soul!,
enter His life, and enter His gates!
No don’t be afraid,
Don’t be afraid!
Don’t be afraid!
Don’t be afraid!

Sing, oh redeemed!,
and speak of the path,
and point to the gate
left open for thee,
left open for thee,
left open for thee,
left open for thee!

Open For Me

LYRICS:

I am a poor way faring stranger 
Traveling through this world alone 
And there's no sickness toil or danger 
In that great land to which I go 

I'm going home to see my Father
I'm going home, no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me 
I know my way is dark and steep 
But beautiful fields lie out before me 
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep 

I'm coming home sisters and brothers! 
Rise up to meet me when I come home
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home 

I will be free from every trial 
My body sleeps in the church yard 
I'll drop the cross of self-denial 
And enter on my great reward

I'm going home to see my savior. 
To sing His praise forevermore
I am reborn through resurrection 
My Jesus bore it in my soul

LYRICS:

He comes to me like water poured on a flower as it withers and fades. 
He comes to me like sunlight melting the frost and ushering the spring

Come down Father, come like rain 
Judge with fire, bring warmth the same 
Purge transgressions, and hearts reclaim 
And we in stillness, Lord, will speak your name

He comes like candles in our darkness, revealing our old broken world
He comes like voices, shouting vic’try as angels, his banners, unfurl

See our blindness, and behold our greed
Heed our cries, Lord, discern our need
Souls that hunger, bless and feed
Til our hearts, Lord, plant grace; your seed

He Comes! 
He Comes! 

Come down Father, come like rain 
Judge with fire, bring warmth the same 
Purge transgressions, and hearts reclaim 
And we in stillness, Lord, will speak your name

Come Down Father (live acoustic)

LYRICS:

Oh the wind of God was terrible and strong
And it stripped me, like a building, of my beautiful facade 
To reveal what lies inside, a monument to pride

And the hands of God were steady like tree 
As they fashioned, like an artist, what would be His masterpiece 
And he made me what he first declared me to be

Behold, the Father 
And behold the architect 
Behold, the Founder 
And the stone on which we rest 
Who will build in us an edifice of love 

The truths of God are steadfast, they are sure, 
Making royalty of peasants, who were not of noble birth 
Choosing weak and foolish souls, and humbling the wise

The heart of man is fashioning his gods
Placing burdens on his soul and granting nothing that he ought
Until he finally learns that its the kings own image he bares

Father I’m already yours
Father I’m already yours
Open wide my doors
My soul can rest assured
Father I’m already yours
Father I’m already yours
Open wide my doors
Open wide my doors 

Behold, the Father 
And behold the architect 
Behold, the Founder 
And the stone on which we rest 
Who will build in us an edifice of love

Behold The Architect (live acoustic)

LYRICS:

When the days of transgression are over 
When the memories all that remain 
We will see 

When the deeds of the injustice have ended 
When the world all around us has changed 
We'll finally see 

Every prayer we pray
We’re begging for redemption 
Every sound we make
Is a window to our souls 
For a dampened world
We call for resurrection 
In our winters, Lord, bring us spring 

We are looking through darkly lit mirrors 
Wishing only to see but the whole 
Let us see 
Though we walk through the valley dying 
Resurrection, it burns in our souls 
And the tomb it is open and empty 
Like the prophets before us foretold

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up my soul

When the future we’ve waited for enters 
When fullness of beauty has come 
When the firmaments round us are opened 
And Jerusalem’s city reborn

With His spirit of peace oar’ the waters 
With His message of grace in our lungs 
With His angels we’re singing the chorus 
Sing forever the songs that we've always sung 

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up my soul! 

Every prayer we pray, 
We’re begging for redemption 
Every sound we make, 
Is a window to our souls 
For a dampened world we call for resurrection 
In our winters, Lord, bring us spring 

In Our Winters (live acoustic)

LYRICS:

And even though the answers find escape
I know my God will keep me ‘neath His wing
And though a life of heathen calls to me
Forever is a long time to be free

Let me walk
Placing only feet where prints are scarred
Let me walk
Throughout the Earth with feet of God

Let Me Walk

Tampa Florida’s Preson Phillips has been called “a refreshing change from mainstream worship music [who’s] songs recall the wide-eyed fervor of the early 70‘s Jesus music artists” ~itunes staff review.

The music that he and the band records has a purpose: to be sung in corporate worship at the church in Tampa, Watermark, of which Preson is the lead pastor. With hymn-like lyrics and songs that are seemingly genre bending and timeless, the story of a world destroyed by sin and being set to rights by a self sacrificing savior ring deafeningly loud and call the listener to ponder their place in the story of Gods world.

With an americana influenced sound ranging from folk to alt/country, newcomers should expect a real, almost personal, connection with the emotions and ancient spirituality of the music of Preson Phillips.
