They burn your ears with what they say And they pretend to care with their display The lies they feed you soothe your mind Deceiving you from what you'll find Open your eyes can't you see it Separates the soul, body and spirit Forgives, forgets and sets you free It's calling you to eternity, it's

[Verse 1] I, I am torn from the inside out Seeing clear, all my fears and all my doubts Sin has stained my hands And like a puppeteer, it holds my strings Oh, didn't I say this all before Isn't that my face print on the floorboards Haven't my tears washed the floors here many times [Chorus] I am Adam, but not quite a man Looking for salvation in my own plan, in my own stand God is breaking down the pride, enslaving me, taking me I'm not too far gone [Verse 2] I need your truth to rescue me And your touch is what I need to set me free The dim light that I shine Is showing the tracks I follow to be mine Oh, didn't I say this all before Isn't that my face print on the floorboards Haven't my tears washed the floors here many times [Chorus] I am Adam, but not quite a man Looking for salvation in my own plan, in my own stand God is breaking down the pride, enslaving me, taking me I'm not too far gone [Repeat Chorus]

Winter, cold and gray as my soul it is these days And purple, limped aside as it pawned my crown away Red rants and raves, it comes in waves once calmed by you And black always asks me, "Ain't it great to be alone" [Chorus] And the Blue Bleeds Through all Yes the Blue Seeps Through all Yellow, waking warm and reminding me of home And orange, warm and changing me, leaves are letting go Green creeps between me, wanting all I've ever known And white holds me tight and whispers, "You are not alone" [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] These constantly changing colors I swear is never me But from further back I see my grand painting [Repeat Chorus] (In my heart, and in my mind) Winter, cold and gray as my soul it is these days

[Verse 1] Driving down a one-way lane I've got peace of mind and faith retained And I know my life is more than just a game But then a voice says "Exit here" And before I know it, it's unclear As to where I am, as my heart flows with fear Everything I ought to be is retained within my memory As I drift a little further out to sea And that inner voice inside my thoughts It wants everything so I have not And it wants to steal the good that I've been taught [Pre - Chorus] Where am I going, where am I heading, I used to know [Chorus] I'll do what's right, then I'll do what's wrong I'm so tired of playing the very same song My light is off, when it should be on I'm giving Wool, when it should be Chiffon [Verse 2] Finally it all makes sense That it's GOD above who breaks the fence And who leads and loves me in His providence And when someone says "Get off here man" I'll say travel with me if you can Cause I'm going till I reach the Promised Land [Pre-Chorus] Where am I going, where am I heading, now I know [Chorus] I'll do what's right, then I'll do what's wrong I'm so tired of playing the very same song My light is off, when it should be on I'm giving Wool, when it should be Chiffon [Repeat Chorus]

Sing that song again for me, she said Read to me those words that no ones ever, ever read When you were old and ravens kept you fed But I try, and I try, and I try, but I just can't get it right Keeping sighs, weary eyes, afraid of when the sun would rise Making time, a blur that blew right on by One more day behind me, push me on Walk beside me, make me strong Keep reminding me of who to be And how close I am to my dreams Walk with me and watch the wind blow by She ran ahead and spun beneath a brightly spotted sky To touch it, all you have to do is fly When I've lost the will to fight some more (Lift my head) And all the days when I just shut the door (Lift my head) Every time I find I'm lost and I've nowhere to stand And it's over now, over now, Lift my head

[Music By Michael Sweet, Lyrics By Joel Christian] [2 Corinthians 2:17-18, Psalms 84:2] [Verse 1] A pale empty room, but I am not alone Silence becomes me, You are here And as you touch me, I feel your gentle way Your spirit guides me, I am yours You have made me and saved me, You hold my life You've taken my transgressions, I am whole once more [Chorus] Father, Son and Spirit, work through me as One Hold me in Your presence Lord, for I am Your child [Verse 2] Naked before You, oh God yet I stand clothed When in Your glory, there is no shame You speak to my heart as You would a friend Because of Your own mercy, I'm Yours eternally [Chorus] Father, Son and Spirit, work through me as One Hold me in Your presence Lord, for I am Your child You have made and paid for my salvation And I feel in Your presence, as if I'm drunk with wine

[Music By Michael Sweet] [Lyrics By Joel Christian] [Job 11:13-18] [Verse 1] There's something wrenching in your brain Unbearable pressure and pain Those thoughts you have inside your head Seem to be stirring what you've fled [Chorus] Shot to the spot, Achilles Heel You know the pain is real Addictive chain around your neck Your life is what it steals You're falling apart, it's in your eyes Don't reach for yourself, reach for the sky [Verse 2] Desolation is your next of kin Lonely outcries are your only friends You find no answers in your heart You had no direction from the start [Chorus] Shot to the spot, Achilles Heel You know the pain is real Addictive chain around your neck Your life is what it steals You're falling apart, it's in your eyes Don't reach for yourself, reach for the sky

[Music By Michael Sweet, Lyrics By Paul Heusman] [Romans 12:12 & Romans 5:3-5] [Verse 1] Breathing, once was so easy Torn between the sky and the water That climbs up and drowns me in my sleep Remember, the moon caught in the trees Stars would fall and dance from branch to branch And watch me believe, summer follows fall [Chorus] When I'm watching the Rain, melt my window away Will you hold me here in your arms When I'm drinking my pain, and I'm thinking Gods late Will you hold me here in the night [Verse 2] Constants, always change their mind All is sublime then I blink and I find That it's writ in Rain But after, oh it is the sweetest smell of spring Years and years before I could see past the storm But it's harder now, believing that summer follows fall [Chorus] When I'm watching the Rain, melt my window away Will you hold me here in your arms When I'm drinking my pain, and I'm thinking Gods late Will you hold me here in the night [Repeat Chorus]

[Music By Michael Sweet] [Lyrics By Paul Heusman] [Psalms 97:5] [Verse 1] What I want I do not do, and what I don't I think I will The farther away, the more you feel I scratch the itch of older needs as the razor slickens as I bleed The farther away, the less you feel [Chorus] Distracted from distractions by You Sometimes whispers, sometimes rain And it's pulling me back beside You Distracted from distractions by You Sometimes presents, sometimes pain Your name is like the sky, the mountains cannot hide [Verse 2] It's easy when your voice is mine, to leave the thieves and rust behind The farther away, the less you feel Handing me such precious things, that kings would only dream to bring The farther away, the more you feel [Chorus] Distracted from distractions by You Sometimes whispers, sometimes rain And it's pulling me back beside You Distracted from distractions by You Sometimes presents, sometimes pain Your name is like the sky the mountains cannot hide [Solo] [Repeat Chorus]

[Music By Michael Sweet] [Lyrics By Joel Christian] [Ezekiel 11:19, John 8:36] [Verse 1] All my life I spent, running from my fears Away from all the pain, the pain that I've left behind There's wounded everywhere, but I'm to hard to care They melt into the face of who I trust in [Pre - Chorus] I am beat, and I'm so tired of trying For a chance to earn grace all alone [Chorus] I am stone, I'm smiling, living, loving, dying There ain't much more than what you can see Deep inside I'm crying, for what I keep denying For that's the very thing that sets me free [Verse 2] I waste so much time, feeding on self pride My own depravity is all that I can see So then I try to hide, the clothes of skin Gods made I lay them on a shelf, and slowly they fade [Pre - Chorus] I am beat, and I'm so tired of trying For a chance to earn grace all alone [Chorus] I am stone, I'm smiling, living, loving, dying There ain't much more than what you can see Deep inside I'm crying, for what I keep denying For that's the very thing that sets me free
