If I could hold you ‘til the end of time
Melt your body into mine
I would hold you until the world stood still
If I could steal the tears you cry
Take your pain and make it mine
I would swallow it all. 
I would drink my fill.

But I am just a man.
I’m no hero.
So the best I can
Is to hold you for a while

Sink into my arms, my love,
And wrap yours around me
And if you cannot cry
I will shed the tears for you
Seated on the bedside here,
A sacred communion
As all the world fades away,
My resolve fades too.

Hold me close, intertwined
As if the planets have aligned
And we are caught up in a mutual eclipse.
You and I in orbit here,
Your breath so close, it makes me scared
And it takes everything I am to bite my lips

For I am just a man,
And we are human
But for now the best I can
Is to hold you for a while

Sink into my arms, my love,
And wrap yours around me
And if you cannot cry
I will shed the tears for you
Seated on the bedside here,
A sacred communion
As all the world fades away,
My resolve fades too.

If I Could Hold You

Candlefire dancing in your eyes
As your smile brightens up my soul
The summer rain sings to us tonight
A serenade as gentle as our love

Hold me close in this pure embrace
Tonight all is born again
Worship Him with the love we make
As tonight we rediscover Eden

Heaven's light dancing in my soul
I never dreamed in a million years
I could ever know such overwhelming joy
After such a life of shadow and tears

Hold me close in this pure embrace
Tonight all is born again
Worship Him with the love we make
As tonight we rediscover Eden

A brand new life held between us both;
I begin to guess at my own name:
A promise made before I was even born,
A testament to His undying grace.

Hold me close in this pure embrace
Tonight all is born again
Worship Him with the love we make
As tonight we rediscover Eden

Love Songs of Grace

Rediscovering Eden

I inadvertently deleted this one. :p So I had to upload it again.

Come Awake

Lyrics:

The music quickens
And I start stumbling
'Cause I'm weary and worn
And I'm barely holding on.
But I won't leave the dance.
No, I'm staying right here,
Though my stumbling feet
Butcher the steps, and I'm weary and weak
To the core...
I refuse to leave the dance floor!

Chorus:
Call me a rebel, call me a fool,
But I won't give up 'til I've broken through.
Yeah, I'll keep dancing 'til I drop,
And even then, I still won't stop. No.
And I'll keep fighting, though I lose the round,
Grappling with You on holy ground.
Struggling with angels, wrestling with God.
I won't leave 'til the music stops. No!
I won't leave the dance floor
'Til You show up.

So in sorrow  I dance,
weeping my praise.
Crying to You,
I dance in the rain you have sent.
'Cause I refuse to leave.
In worship I groan and stumble and cry,
Clinging to the God who seems so far from my pain.
Here I am weeping Your praise! (Chorus)

In exhaustion I fall at Your feet.
Broken and humbled I fall.
For I can expect nothing from You,
And yet You've given it all.
I know my Redeemer lives.
And though He slay me,
Still I'll trust in Him!

(Chorus)

Til The Music Stops

Lyrics:

Let me sleep, let me dream,
Don't wake me just yet.
I'm not tired, just tired of life.
I'm happy in my romance
With the brother of Death.
If I never wake up that's just fine.

Let me remain in my comatose state.
If I'm unconscious just let me slumber.
Awake, I'm too lonely to care anyway.
What good is life without a lover?

Brother of Death, come pull my heartstrings.
Come pull the wool over my eyes.
Woo me to bed and your welcome embrace.
Be my escape from this life.

Let me remain in my comatose state.
If I'm unconscious just let me slumber.
Awake, I'm too lonely to care anyway.
What good is life without a lover?

Man of Sorrows, come romance my heart.
Even in my dreams You haunt me.
If there's no escape from Your awe-full embrace,
You may as well haunt me completely.

Don't let me remain in my comatose state.
Awaken me from my slumbers.
Asleep or awake- there is no escape:
Life is just death when devoid of The Lover.

Life Is Just Death

Lyrics:

Memories come drifting back
Of simple days and gentle times.
Your face eludes my grasp.
It was a different world, A different life.

Look how far I've come.
See how far I've fallen.
Can you believe I'm still your son?
Even now can you hear me calling?

What would you think of me now?
And this darkness I carry inside?
Mama, would you proud?
Could you believe I'm still your little boy?

I don't feel much like David.
Maybe more like Goliath.
Death lodged in my forehead, 
But deep inside, I'm still crying.

I'm not who I once was,
I'm just one massive core of pain.
The first change to my person,
The day you slipped away.

What would you think of me now?
And this darkness I carry inside?
Mama, would you proud?
Could you believe I'm still your little boy?

I didn't know it would hurt this much
This far down the road.
I'm missing you like crazy,
But all the memories are growing cold.

Can I please just be your little boy?
Can I be your "little bear"?
I'm tired of this life I'm living,
I'm tired of these scars I wear.

What would you think of me now?
And this darkness I carry inside?
Mama, would you proud?
Could you believe I'm still your little boy?

Mama (Still Your Little Boy)

To survive the fire
Is to become the flame
The passion required
And the heat that endures
Is nothing like you've ever felt before

Powerful cynical flame
You're caught on the line
Between you and I
This way we both go on by

Like a moth to a flame
I'm sought to come again
Return to sender, my friend
For now you see what it means
To feel it on your skin

Powerful cynical flame
You're caught on the line
Between you and I
This way we both go on by

Fear is but a tale and we both know why
This tie unto soul until we die
Our connection fulfills the destiny
That was meant to course through like a burn

Powerful cynical flame
You're caught on the line
Between you and I
This way we both go on by

Powerful cynical flame
You're caught on the line
Between you and I
This way we both go on by

Unprepared and ignored so we sizzle out
Because the heat that endures is nothing
Like we've ever felt before

Soul Arising

A moody, weird acoustic take on a punk song. Nihilistic and satirical, this song is basically making a subtle (or maybe not so subtle) mockery of atheism and it's empty, hopelessness. 

Lyrics:
Welcome to the jungle,
Hear the primal screams
Act like an animal,
It's a circus theme
Utter something guttural,
We'll label you profound,
And if you make it sexual, 
We're giving you a crown

We're all animals, We're all animals, We're all animals,
Anything goes.

Welcome to insanity
It's a psycho dream
Forget you inhibitions
Chasing the obscene
Anything you want,
Do whatever you feel
God is dead and nothing is real.

We're all animals, We're all animals, We're all animals,
Anything goes.

We don't need religion in the age of modern man
We have been enlightened and your faith is just a sham
Fuck it up, Buttercup, till the final bell,
'Cause no one's gonna save you from Peter Singer's hell.

We're all animals, We're all animals, We're all animals,
Anything goes.
We're all animals, We're all animals, We're all animals,
Anything goes.

Animalistic Acoustic Version

This is the first render of Sing To Me. This is still very much a work in progress. I plan to completely redo the drums. Everything needs to be EQ'd still. Backing vocals need to be added. Plus various other tweaks and adjustments.

Sing To Me

Lyrics:
Born to die, our peasant King
His infant cries broken ring,
For in the straw, The Promise saw
A world of sin and pain.
Yet "Peace on Earth" the angels sing
And to the flock "glad tidings" bring,
For Immanuel has come to us.
God with us is Jesus.

Oh, sacred night!
Into which was born The Light
That He might live and die to set us free!
Oh, sacred Grace!
For He has crushed the Grave,
That we might be born again-
What mystery!

The Sacrifice is born at last
Unto us a spotless lamb.
And these tears of His are older than the rain.
So here He lies in swaddling cloth,
These newborn eyes foresee the Cross.
And Mary cannot understand her newborn baby's pain.

Oh, sacred night!
Into which was born The Light
That He might live and die to set us free!
Oh, sacred Grace!
For He has crushed the Grave,
That we might be born again-
What mystery.

Who are we that He should deign
To shed His blood in our place?
Redeem us with His own gruesome death?
El Elyon. Adonai.
El Roi. El Shaddai.
God with us. The God who died.
The God who conquers Death.

Oh, sacred night!
Into which was born The Light
That He might live and die to set us free!
Oh, sacred Grace!
For He has crushed the Grave,
That we might be born again-
What mystery.
