Trembling in the shadow of your creation, your knees grow weak Watch my eyes beam with gold and you’ll keep coming back If you fixate your desire upon me you’ll give me breath with your lungs Feed me living! I am what you fashioned, your praise gives me power With it I will devour you

Grieve that your body's so worm eaten inside Crawling with infection, fed by your lies Drop into the pit you dug with your pride Now you're nothing but a slave You polish yourself as if you were a monument Reach high like a tower to hell and the ground concedes Pulled from the earth like rotting roots Purge the demons draining your veins Pride in your heart deceives you Dragged from the depths of a dying world Purge the demons draining your veins Pride in your heart deceives you Keep your teeth before your tongue Or you'll claw for divinity Your filthy rags: a disgusting crown The offspring of an unhealed wound You wear your skin like a scoured corpse After you heave you return like a dog Pulled from the earth like rotting roots Purge the demons draining your veins Pride in your heart deceives you Dragged from the depths of a dying world Purge the demons draining your veins Pride in your heart deceives you Keep your teeth before your tongue Or you'll claw for divinity Your filthy rags: a disgusting crown The offspring of an unhealed wound You had love but your heart is not your own Grace is not beyond you but you walked away The heavens will expose you Hell bent on destruction Hell bent on escape Show us there's nowhere to hide Show us fear

As I charge the bloody fields waiting for your hands to pierce the depths The world is stirring yet you keep silent to me This battle shakes the ground, but your voice could split the earth The world is stirring yet you keep silent to me Eternity will never be long enough with you When every step I take feels so worn (feels so worn) If heralds of glory sing the minute life begins to fade Death is just a bridge between us See the enemy line the hills, so hide my fears from me The world is stirring yet you keep silent to me Like a burning wound it kills me that I haven't heard you in years The world is stirring yet you keep silent Eternity will never be long enough with you When every step I take feels so worn (feels so worn) If heralds of glory sing the minute life begins to fade Death is just a bridge between All I am is a scar-laden body from those years You were gone Now you appear to me Faced with suffering death You restore this porous heart that bleeds every time it beats Your suture lives in me There must be something You wished me to see, a pattern in this pain I see a pattern, I see You in this pain I’ve waited for years for what a brush with death has shown me I will trust in Your grace that speaks of the end As my life begins to fade I know Your blood was the bridge, the bridge between us Your blood was the bridge between us (Your blood, your blood) Your blood was the bridge between us Your blood was the bridge between us (Your blood, your blood) Your blood was the bridge between us

Son of Mine, can you hear the sound, hear the sound of repetition like clockwork? I'm always peeling back your skin to rip the legions from your heart Every scar you leave yourself is a jewel in the making I would give you passion yet you've turned your back Like a devil of details, cut your throat, you're so addicted You'll swing the hammer, I'll turn your nails to gold Like a devil of details, you're so addicted You'll swing the hammer and I'll turn your nails to gold You will know my voice when the hair on your neck stands up I opened this door, and I will bring the end All gives way and all will fall to their knees and beg for grace Son of Mine these letters I swear have not been burnt My heart a child trembling in sight of his wake (trembling in sight of his wake) Is longing to rest in the hollow (hollow) of Your hand I know now what it is to be helpless like a foot on my neck to the ground (foot on my neck to the ground) I'm longing to rest in the hollow (hollow) of Your hand Here I am I await you My heart a child trembling in sight of his wake (trembling in sight of his wake) Is longing to rest in the hollow (hollow) of Your hand I know now what it is to be helpless like a foot on my neck to the ground (foot on my neck to the ground) I’m longing to rest in the hollow (hollow) of Your, hollow of Your hand You will know my voice Here I am I am the Lion Go! Clear the path I am the Lion You brood of snakes I am the Lion

Part the dark sky that keeps me from Your eyes Even as the darkness descends My cry came to Your ears As my heroes fail me They leave me to fend on my own My cry came to Your ears The earth withers beneath me And I'm always looking towards the clouds I know we are not alone Can't help but feel You in my bones When all is dead and gone Your love will still remain From one end of the sky to the other you burn your banner Cords of the grave, snares of death cannot take me from You I see the eyes of the empty They form an eclipse above me Until I find safety in Your memory Safety in Your memory Safety in Your memory Safety in the memory of Your faithfulness Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from Your feet The seas and valleys all run dry So reach through the sky and capture me My cry came to Your ears (Bright lights are breaking through the sky) Dark clouds are pouring from Your feet Your love saved no mercy for Yourself (The seas and valleys all run dry) So reach through the sky and capture me The earth withers beneath me And I'm always looking towards the clouds I know we are not alone Can't help but feel You in my bones When all is dead and gone Your love will still remain From one end of the sky to the other you burn your banner The earth withers beneath me I'm always looking towards the clouds I know we're not alone Can’t help but feel You in my bones

Draw Your depiction Stars became scars in the palm of Your hand bridged by blood Your blood paints the paragon of unrequited love (Unrequited love) Do You remember pain followed by reassurance and the light shining through Bearing the poise of a redeemer choking the shadows, defeating death Providence: laid out before us A Father's arms reaching as The nations will hear a new song As we're led to the water The nations will hear a new song As we're led to the water Give us discernment Doors that glow at the sound of forerunners' words (forerunners' words) We are empty until You sit at the throne of our hearts Break us free; unshackled from our dire condition We have hope Kings of earth bow down, lose your crowns Kings of earth bow down, lose your crowns Bow The nations will hear a new song As we're led to the water The nations will hear a new song of rebirth The nations will hear The nations will hear The nations will hear a new song The nations will hear a new song As we're led to the water

A thunderstorm, a distant shore, I've witnessed this before Patience was fleeting If a thousand coins on the ocean floor would bring back love to me I'll wait forever Fill the sea with dreams of a wishing well Waves bring back my coins to me Drain the deep that teems with my empty shells Slaves of sand still call for me I once had love to give I once had hoped to live The rarest stones will break my bones and golden salt stops my lungs The perfect limbs and haunting eyes begs the seas: begin to rise Fill the sea with dreams of a wishing well Waves bring back my coins to me Drain the deep that teems with my empty shells Slaves of sand still call for me What grace is this that saves? What grace is this that saves me?

This is what it's like to be on fire, burning through the coals What a way to release this fury and be consumed A false prophet and a terrible liar Trading money for souls Abomination of a broad horizon You sold them for a frail mansion It’s nothing but dust Your recompense and tongue will be fed down your throat Oh, you'd topple the pillars of a church to make yourself a god When you speak it's a dead language When you speak it's a dead language Forfeit the grace you never Forfeit the grace you never preach The grace you never preach The grace you never preach The grace you never preach Limb for a limb You'll be torn to shreds Eye for an eye You'll be torn to shreds Throw it down like you never want to see it again If this is a slippery slope you're at the bottom of the ditch Take advantage of the children yet you call yourself a man If this is a slippery slope you're at the bottom of the ditch Headlong Headlong Come on!

I've felt their lives slip through my fingers Now I watch them circle the drain With breath like the torrent (they sink) To the bottom I've wasted so many chances My efforts not a drop in the barrel With a body like a boulder (I sink, sink) To the bottom 'Cause I've shown my teeth and had them kicked in one too many times And in my yearning He split the rock, and the water gushed forth A voice keeps yelling, a voice keeps yelling "This is where your proud waves end" My fingers trace lines, on the surface I'm consumed The sinking feeling, the sinking feeling "This is where your proud waves end" I take my first step, I'm thrown over the edge I tried to walk on the water, but now I just swim They slipped through my fingers Now I watch them circle the drain With breath like the torrent (they sink) To the bottom I've wasted so many chances My efforts not a drop in the barrel With a body like a boulder (I sink, sink) To the bottom Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now? Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now? Where is your mercy? What grace is this that saves me (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?) What grace is this that saves me (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?) What grace is this that saves me (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?) What grace is this that saves me (Where is your mercy? Where is your mercy now?) Where is your mercy now? Where? Are you listening, oh God? I scream your name, your name, your name Are you outside of your wrath? Oh God, oh God, your name And amongst the pile of dead I see a light split the water from the heavens And I feel God glowing inside me My heart shakes with the music of the spheres I no longer tremble in fear For redemption has found me And in redemption comes the overflow of peace

Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me Bright lights are breaking through the sky Dark clouds are pouring from your feet The seas and valleys all run dry Reach through the sky and capture me My heart a child trembling in sight of his wake Your blood was the bridge between us A new song My heart a child trembling in sight of his wake Your blood was the bridge between us A new song Reach through the sky and capture me

Trapped in the trenches Overrun by idols We've strapped pride to our bones and sealed it with our skin Looking for a way to beat this system We're trading life for a corpse Entangled with the dead and silenced by our guilt We've strapped pride to our bones and sealed it with our skin I’ve encased myself in a tomb With gods as dead as me Surrounded by stones of depravity I'm already dead And I'm running out of answers, out running all the answers We want more We want more Every failure leaves me deeper in the ground Show me what I've become Hanging skulls on my branches Waist below the earth I was a fool of lust since the day of my birth Oh my love, I haven't let you go Golden skies will divide to receive your soul Oh my son, you've just begun to grow But we've strapped pride to our bones and sealed it with our skin I've encased myself in a tomb With gods as dead as me Surrounded by stones of depravity Turn this tomb to dust I'm already dead Oh my love, I haven't let you go Golden skies will divide to receive your soul Oh my son, you’ve just begun to grow But we’ve strapped pride to our bones and sealed it with our skin Oh my God, You never let me go Oh my God, You never let me go Oh my God, You never let me go As lifeless as statues As fleeting as dust in the air We’ve robbed Your splendor and replaced it with deceit Replaced with deceit Replaced with ruin Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Like the waves upon the shore I can't hear You in my heart anymore Grace come swiftly and drag the axe further towards me The son of man approaches the hollows He breaks the guilt in one fell swoop Beheading our treachery Oh God, would you bring a burning downpour of Your blood I can hear the hordes of ghosts screaming in Your choir But would Your love make any difference in a graveyard? There’s no running now His thunder shakes the earth There will be no trace of betrayal All creation trembles before You As You lift Your hand Your will be done
