Lyrics:
I'm not sure I have the strength to
Do this all alone
But that's when I remember that you
Made yourself my home

So that when I do not understand
What's going on
I still have your Son who gives me
Strength to sing his song:

There's no name at all
Worth enduring your Son's pain for
Unless you are the God
who he died to proclaim

For the height from which I fell
Is a direct parallel
Of the depths of love Christ showed to me - the depths of hell

Yet his love plunged further still:
He leapt from the Most High fame
To die to that glory 'til
from death we could rise again

So rejoice in his new life
Since he rose from untold strife
To be sat with God on highest heights
And bring us as his Bride

Unless

Lyrics:

O Father on high,
We are told to ask why,
When, having this passion,
We know but a ration,
Of full consummation
Of glorious grace? 

Why such a long race?
Can't keep up the pace.
Tempted to make haste
To things that give chase
To the only good taste,
That keeps me enjoying
Your glorious grace. 

Yet such a short time.
There's no room for crime,
Must let his light shine,
And never stop that refining
Power of Christ.

His immeasurable love,
In worlds up above,
Is no different than when
He gave himself up,
Since he sent the Dove -
My life and my all,
The one who enthralls
So I'd hear the call
Of someone outside,
Yet deep in my mind,
With words which taste sweeter
Than hearts could design. 

God opposes the proud -
So he found me out,
That while I was loud,
My joy was a cloud.
He pierced my heart,
So I could restart,
To see the new reasons
Why we were apart:
It wasn't new reasons,
So much as old treason,
Inspiring dark clouds
Which showed I displeased him,
Yet he sent his Son,
The dark day which lasted
Until it was done. 

And then his awakening
Power starts chastening,
Clouds start to hasten and
Light sets ablaze a new heart
Like a bush finally set on fire
With a Life so much higher
Than all our inspired
But worldly thoughts 
Could ever desire.
And nothing undoes
What is already done.
Nothing undoes
What is already won.
Nothing undoes
The death done in the Son.

Since he rose in Power
His presence will shower
On saints 'till the hour,
When he will return
When all that we yearned for
Will seem little, tiny,
Compared to the Mighty. 

But without Spirit fighting,
We won't see his lightning
As hopeful, just frightening.
As pressure keeps tightening 
The robes of our right stance
Seem even more lightening.

But the enlightening
Rays of his Light
Will only burn white,
When we kiss goodbye
To the ever deceiving
Reliefs of the night,
Their pleasures bring grief
Making addicts of plight,
In here there's no telling
The dark from the light;
I cannot revere
The judgement that's coming,
Until I draw near:

To remember forgiveness,
Remember he's sinless
Remember we'll win this
Because he has won,
When I see the flood
He’ll remember the blood:

One perfectly clean
Treated as obscene,
Exalted on high
He now reigns supreme.

His reign is serene,
But only when I see
It should have been me,
Not him, on that tree

Bearing the weight of
My sins and folly;
That tower, my Babel,
My name that I cherished,
While the great name Yahweh
Chose life in a stable,
While Yahweh chose death 
Even before the cradle,
While Yahweh chose death
And broke for all our pride,
While Yahweh broke death for
The life of his Bride. 

And so there's no reason
When there's a dark season
To sow seeds of treason,
To turn from believing
His goodness - he died!
To conquer the night!
And gave us new sight!
And now he's alive!
Securing himself in
Our hearts; our delight!
Securing us until our
Faith becomes sight!
Securing our hope on
The God who knew night,
And out of the darkness said,
"Let there be light!"

Praise, praise his glorious grace!
One day we'll look on our 
Father's full face!
One day we'll look on the
Lamb who was slain!
One day we'll see him,
The Risen, he reigns!

Praise, praise his glorious grace!
There is no challenge that
We cannot face,
This Lover's with us 'till
The end of the age,
From eternity 
He will remain the same,
Yesterday, now and forever
He reigns!

It Is Done (Instrumental)

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Injustice
We all want to talk about injustice
But the devil lies beneath the surface
"Divide the sides and blind them to their bias
Keep this quiet."

So we're biased
Since good desires have become segregated
Forced to choose to love a single neighbour
And told we hate them if we love the other
But he's my brother

Chorus 1
See love shouldn't stick to human tribes
Monopolised by left, right, black, or white
But it is seen in God's divine design
To give to each of us our human rights

So as I love the baby, support the mum
And as we love free speech, speak truth with love
And as we love the villified majority,
Let's also love those the culture lacks the eyes to see

Verse 2
And let's eat
But keep the meat and spit the bones
And let's speak
But first let's put down all the stones
And let's breathe
And see if we can find some trojans
Hiding in "justice"/injustice

But it's sin
Hidden in my cup, I know that starts this
And even if society's a villain
If they spill me up will they not find one
Just like them?

Chorus 2
See truth's not owned by trojans hiding
Whether they be Marx, reichs, or my mind
But it is seen in God's plan before time
To unite us beautifully designed

So if I want true inclusivity
I need to first confess the problem's me
And we will need an anchoring truth to see
The unity that connects our diversity

[Instrumental]

Outro
And that is only found in the glorious good news of the Son of Man
Who created us as one humanity

And even though we hated him and spat upon this plan
He would take the bullet rightly made for me

And, shielding sinners with his blood, he'd give us peace with God
As he nailed all of our sins onto that tree

Creating in himself one human in the place of two
Thereby killing all of our hostility

Injustice

Lyrics:
I'm not sure I have the strength to
Do this all alone
But that's when I remember that you
Made yourself my home

So that when I do not understand
What's going on
I still have your Son who gives me
Strength to sing his song:

There's no name at all
Worth enduring your Son's pain for
Unless you are the God
who he died to proclaim

For the height from which I fell
Is a direct parallel
Of the depths of love Christ showed to me - the depths of hell

Yet his love plunged further still:
He leapt from the Most High fame
To die to that glory 'til
from death we could rise again

So rejoice in his new life
Since he rose from untold strife
To be sat with God on highest heights
And bring us as his Bride

Unless...

Lyrics:

In the dark noon
there was an unseen change,
All fear was defeated
While the tears remained.
The weeping Earth didn't know
Gloom was undone
While in heaven
The beginning
Of eternal song.

In the dark noon
Sin's curse was killed
As dark starts to fade
And light slowly builds
Not percieved at the time
Yet rising each day
Until on the third
Triumph rises from the grave.

While we hadn't seen
One did see,
Him who from eternity
Saw sweet victory
And finally ready
To announce it
When he intervenes 
And wakes:

The ground shakes
Dawn breaks
Sun can't compete
With the Son who was raised
Again to the conquering seat
To reign and shine rays of peace
To all who fall
In awe at his feet.

In The Dark Noon

Lyrics:

Christ, you are my Life,
Overcame all my strife:
There's no other way
For us to say bye
To all of the folly
Of our former lies.
So help us die
To exalting a name
Except Jesus as Lord,
And to seek your fame.

There's Unapproachable Light
Who consumes all our plight
As we glimpse a new sight
Of encouragement's heights
In the life giving flame
Of Jesus Christ,
Through his name:
O Yahweh, Most High
The I AM became -
The thought is insane -
The image of us
Who marred his great name,
So his redeemed Bride
Could know the same love
The Son of God feels
From his Father above

Over again
O-Over and over again.

But how could he bear our
sin's weight on his back?
He saw joy
through the attack,
He saw through sin's pain laid
on God's only Son
that loss becomes gain
when we are one;
that suffering is love
and the glory of others,
when it makes us
his sisters and brothers.
then all of the glory is
shared in the Son
since redemption's story
reveals we are one,

Now and forever and ever
O forever and ever

The ultimate reason 
Christ died for his Bride
Was to say "Father, I've loved you before all time
Your value exceeds to me my very life
The world now sees I love you with all my might."

So glory rebounds,
yet not to our own,
but from Christ through us
to our Father enthroned,
since through loving us 
the Son Jesus reveals
the love of our God
and by that we are healed.

And since the Son died
He now sits on the seat,
while our Father loves him
putting all at his feet.
He's lifted on high,
and our Father is pleased 
to reveal this to all of
His Son's enemies,
to inspire such awe in them
For all to see
The only right response to Christ is belief;
creation and all of
the earth then redeemed
will cry out to Christ
"in your grace we're now free!
decay is defeated,
we rise in glory!
to see the Lamb seated,
We see he's worthy!
Oh, he is worthy!"

And creation will bow
on its knees to cast crowns,
singing "Jesus is Lord!"
to God's glorious renown!

Atonement

I enjoy making music which tries to convey Jesus’ awesomeness in his word and in his impact on my life.

May God the Father alone, who has inspired and sustained me in all of this, get all the glory.
