bliss founded upon a faraway land

--

have you heard of a place 
where dreams become reality 
don't stare in shock 
just listen up 

its a mystical land 
of ducks and pandas 
from day to night 
in a bundle of laughter 

yes it is 
this is a place for weary souls 

you're welcome here 
let the tale unfold 


won't you stay by my side 
to write this lullaby 
of a faraway land 
that will never ever end 

won't you stay by my side 
to tell this tale with me 
of princess queen 
and a fairy prince 
who always had a pea 


so let me tell you a tale 
of a princess so beautiful 
she wondered how 
she'd get by life 

so came a fairy prince 
brought along his magic pea 
he said hey guess what 
i'm here for you 

we find ourselves 
lost 
in a magic reality 
rest now little girl 
i'll wait for you 


this friendship so strong 
harsh words could not divide the two 
through many troughs 
of broken waters 

though they may look young 
but oh dont you be fooled by them 
this friendship'll last 
until the end 

so let's make it 
never 
ever 
ever 
end

Nevereverland

when the walls are broken down

--

here's a night to begin 
you know gaining speed 
so fast your not blinking 
you're on the brink of things 

take a step 
seems like you've reached the end 
feels like you're floating 
smiling surreptitiously 

but now 
see the monster you'd become 
see the harm you'd done 
could you patch up the broken lies 
or just tear down that sick facade 
no 
why did it all breakdown 
where did we lose it all 
was it ordained from the start 


and we all fall down 
walls come crashing 
down on us 
but can't you see the light 
it shines 
shines so bright 
only chance 
to survive 


is this how it should be? 
is this what we can see? 
when the moment gives in, 
what will we still believe? 

throw it down at our feet 
don’t look back at a thing 
this is it 
but is this what we dreamed?

Walls

the what if's and the could haves

--

the closure of it all 
centred by our lost souls, 
we thought we had it all 
the timeless hands you hold 

so unbreakable 
to do the unthinkable 
but your eyes it told 
that you wanted more 

we wanted to be 
we wanted to be. 

remember the times it was you and me 
when nothing mattered between us two 
it was different 
it was special 

did you see our hearts like doves, intertwined in the mess of love 
its not like we needed more, its not like we needed more 
so why did we fall 
waiting for something to come 

we were holding, we were holding 
we were holding to something that just wasn't true 
we were holding, we were holding 
to a lie

Waiting For Something To Come

a response to a breakdown 
a surrender beyond oneself

--

living in a world where nothing lasts 
i can't seem to find my place or at least where i should be 
there's no denying, that i've come this far 
but not by what i do nor by what they think i can 

they laugh and jeer, they mock and weep 
but still don't understand what they seek 
for good reason that they don't know 


who they are 


I stand before you 
in all honesty 
that i can't do it on my own 
not without you 

though i'm misunderstood 
or i'm overlooked 
i'll carry on believing 
that you'll bring me through 


many times i wonder will this end 
or will it run me/ out till i have nothing left to give 
dont want to anymore (attaca) 

its hard and rough and i try to see 
what i'm doing this for 
but its not as easy as it seems 
no really 

this is the point of breaking 
breaking the habit 
the stumble which i'll take 
i take to grace 

where does the line lie between ridiculous and courageous 
who holds the power to cast the verdict of black and white 



not by might 
nor by power 
not by strength 
but the 
Spirit of the Lord

Can't Do It On My Own

“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

sometimes i'm lonely, 
feel like i'm all on my own 
sometimes it's easy, 
to forget where i'm at 

but i know that i'm not too far 
yes i know that i'm not too far away from home 

dear little soul, 
i tried to make sense of this, 
distant cold 
but it just wouldn’t show 

i know it’s wrong 
to do all of this 
on my own, 
but i don't know where to go.. 

so i'll take the path, 
that i know will lead me home.

Dear Little Soul

a song of His promise and faithfulness 
"If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself."

--

funny how we don't see 
anything until its gone 
gone for good 

it seems like all we ever see 
is our side of reality 

but I found that 
only love 
could take away 
my sin and shame 

You stepped into 
my life 
and I'll never be the same 

because I believe 
that You'll always 
be there 
through the struggles and the pain 
no one else 
no one else 
but You always 
Lord I come to You 
this day 

some of these days 
I'd run away 
and live life like a prodigal 
a rich man's fool 

I'd put to waste the things you gave 
and lavished oh so lovingly 
for my sake

--

2 Timothy 1:13

You Always

the reminder along the road, that He is always there

--

I could search all day and not find you 
I could live a hundred days without you 
but I won’t feel alive 

and so we wait all our lives 
for the one thing we needed the most 
yet he is so close 

and though we try to find our feet 
in the moist wet sinking sand 
of this destitute land 

He is there 
when we need him 
when we think we don't 

when we shut our hearts alone 
He is there 
He is there 

He is there 
when the world 
just seems so cold 
even when we strive on our own. 
He is there 
He is there 

I could wander all around for ages 
I could race with time 
but never find / 
what I’m looking for 


and though the world may seem 
to pass with all its fads 

and though the very 
things we try to keep 
will pass from us 

He is there

He Is There

Our proclamation of purpose

--

and I sing for you 
Lord I sing for you 
you're all I have 
you're all I ever needed 

I sing for you 
Lord I'll sing for you 
my all my everything 
my friend my king I'll sing for you 

I will 
proclaim it loud 
the voice you gave me 
returns with a shout 

You deserve 
the highest praise 
that I can give 
so I will sing 


this is the time 
to make our praises loud 

this is the moment 
for a victory shout 

when all is gone 
and things seem to fall apart 

we'll raise a banner 
to say 

Yeshua 
You're my King 
Yeshua 
You're my Hope 
Yeshua 
You're my Prince of Peace 

I'll trust in You 
I'll sing for you

Sing For You

the call to walk with Him

originally 2 seperate songs, the combination describes the dialogue of call and response.

i know the words 
don't come right sometimes
and it seems so hard
to believe me
but it's true

and i know there are days
when it seems so tough
to believe that what i do
is because 
because of you

many days 
go by wasted in tears of pain
but it's okay if you'd take my hand
in faith

walk with we
through this path we'll weave
till the end

don't miss a step 
with me
i wont let go you'll see
of your hand 

walk with me 
trust your heart with me
don't be scared

though we may fear
those things
that we can't seet
won't you walk with me
till the end


In all my loneliness, you were there
Even my secret sin oh you spare
And all the times when sin had its grip upon me and wouldn't let me go
You took the fall for me

Take, take all of me
Won't you take, take all I have in me
I want to love you
The way that you love me
The way that you, you love me

Take all I have in me
All that I want to be
All that I ever see
All for your glory


So yes I’ll walk with you,
I’ll walk with you,
I’ll walk with you,
Till the end
