Wonder 04:33
lyrics
I wonder, could I ever do something new? I wonder, could I give something back to You? It's been 6,000 years of deeds so insincere We've dug our hands in deep but we've empty pockets I wonder, could I ever be someone new? I wonder, could I ever not walk out on You? It's been 2,000 years since perfect Love came here We've dug our trenches deep, but we've got no ammo I wonder if You don't despise our pretty tunes I wonder have our fluffy words ceased to reach You? It's been so many years since truth was crystal clear We've got some clever lines, but where is Your Word? Where is Your Word? I wonder, could we all get back to You? I wonder, could we all get back to You? I'm sure that we could all get back to You You came so we could all get back to You

All These Dreams 03:36
lyrics
This is ridiculous Everything under the sun and around me is meaningless Is there a point to this feather of a life? I've got my iBook I've got my Dr Pepper in my hand Sergeant Pepper's lonely hearts club band I'm just a nowhere man I'm making all of these nowhere plans In my nowhere land For nobody... nobody but me All these dreams Take what seems an eternity to come true All these dreams Are all just steam Unless I've got eternity with You If I was a rock star All of the world would adore me, fall down before me Just a minute, wait I'm not the one to be pointed to All of the praise it goes to You All these dreams Take what seems an eternity to come true All these dreams Are all just steam Unless I've got eternity with You But if all these dreams just don't come true Then I'll know that all these dreams just weren't from You Da, da, da...

You Always Do 04:08
lyrics
I have been Adam Took from the one forbidden tree I have been Moses Cut like a knife through the Red Sea I have been Joshua unafraid I have judged ruthlessly in my day I've been like David, many things Fugitive poet and shepherd king Thought I had Solomon impressed Felt like my life was foolishness Wrote a sweet love song for my wife But I know that all of this time... You have been You have come through You always do I'll be a madman I will be foaming at the mouth I won't make sense at all Everyone will think that I've headed south I'll be a raving lunatic I may bring division and conflict Cause I hope to agitate complacency And I won't rest 'til everybody sees that You will be You will come through You always do I will be who I am in You And when You finally let me see You, wholly... Holy, holy are You, Lord!

Breaking Clouds 04:58
lyrics
Look at us now, A couple of thousand years later Do we look the same? Or are we absolute strangers? Maybe it's me O, Lord, I know that's where it starts I know it's me I know I've got to start to Bridge the gap between generations Break my bread between denominations After all, isn't everyone who calls on Jesus' name One and the same? It's time we cry out to you for reconciliation Preach the good news to the lost in every nation After all, isn't that what we're doing here? Isn't that what we're doing here? Wave the old flag, all in the name of our banner Come and bless us, but what if the glory shines elsewhere? Is that enough? Maybe You could break us from this sin Oh, break our hearts, Lord Break us and then, maybe we could Bridge the gap between generations Break our bread between denominations After all, isn't everyone who calls on Jesus' name One and the same? It's time we cry out to you for reconciliation Preach the good news to the lost in every nation After all, isn't that what we're doing here? Isn't that what we're doing here? Look at the sky Look at the breaking clouds Look at the sky Look up, the time is now to bridge the gap... Break our bread... Oh, after all, aren't we one and the same? We're all redeemed by the blood of our Lord and living Saviour We fall at Your throne, every tongue, tribe and nation After all, isn't that what we're doing here? Isn't that what we're doing here?

Sam 05:34
lyrics
Green eggs and ham Am I like Sam? I just can't figure it out Never been cool But am I a fool to think that I could know what You're about? And they say that Your ways are high above me But You came anyway and You still loved me I wanna seek You while You may be found I wanna seek You while You may be found I wanna call on Your name while You're near I wanna bow at Your feet when You're here I wanna seek You while You may be found Build up a fence My pride's creeping in Don't let my love for You fade See my soul plea, down on my knees Teach me the meaning of grace And I know that Your thoughts are high above me But You still let me know what You think of me I wanna seek You while You may be found I wanna seek You while You may be found I wanna call on Your name while You're near I wanna bow at Your feet when You're here I wanna seek You while You may be found I wanna seek You while You may be found Yeah, I wanna seek You while You may be found I wanna call on Your name while You're near I wanna bow at Your feet when You're here I wanna seek You while You may be found Oh, but You're so hard to find sometimes That I get worried sick and tired Of trying to find my peace of mind As my frustration peaks All my anxiety Comes to fall at Your feet Where I should've been right from the start...

Moriah, Golgotha & Paradise 03:34
lyrics
If I look in the mirror, I don't see me Nor in your eyes Heavenward or straight out, nothing comes to mind So, who am I? I'd rather die than not have wings to fly I know You're more than just a backdrop, I, an actor on this stage But could You make my costume deep red Rather than this beige? And would You mind Telling me the lines to say and just which part am I? Cause all I want is all You have All You give is Your life Is it irresponsibility? I just want to be free To walk this earth as You did, With no strings attached to me Love and then leave But is that burying the one talent that You gave to me? All You want is all I have All You give is Your life For a place they called Golgotha I believe You are the Savior and the Light And You brought me through Moriah Though I feared for Isaac's life Now You want mine So take me with You to be crucified To be with You this day in Paradise For I must die if I'm to ever have those wings to fly

lyrics
I surrender my life to Your blood I surrender my name for Your glory I surrender my heart to Your will I surrender my dreams to the plans You have for me Thank You for showing me the emptiness of all I held onto I surrender it all I surrender my everything for You I surrender my life to Your blood I surrender my name for Your glory I surrender my heart to Your will I surrender my dreams to the plans You have for me Thank You for showing me the emptiness of all I held onto I surrender it all I surrender my everything for You Thank You for showing me the emptiness of all I held onto I surrender it all I surrender my everything for You I surrender it all I surrender my everything for You

Big Man 04:52
lyrics
Hey, big man, I know you had a heart to match That great, big smile of yours Your silly laugh What can I say to you? Our time is past The songs I played with you The music that we made will last Hey, big man, Who'd have thought when we were ten We'd travel 'round the world and back again What can we say of you? Now you're with Him And memories fill the void left by a brother, son, and friend Hey, big man, I know You knew His only Son His Daddy loved you, too - the only One And now He says to you, "My child, well done" "The rest I promised you, the crown is here, the race is won" And I see you up in line And you're waiting with a grin 'Cause the Lord Himself is all you see And now your laughter opens wide 'Cause you can't hold it in Bye, big man... What can I say to you? Our time is past The songs I played with you The music that we made will last The rest He promised you The crown of life is yours at last...

See How Quick Your Time Goes 03:49
lyrics
Wine was poured and bread was broken Food to do the Father's will Giving life, giving life to all Sweeter words were never spoken Words that touch the Father's heart, "I surrender, I surrender all" What could I hold onto? What could I live for? When You let Your throne go and died... To grab ahold of me Bread and wine are here before you Taste and see the Lord is good Why refuse? Why refuse this life? What can you hold onto? What won't fade away When you've said your final goodbyes? What will you have lived for? What will be your why? See how quick your time goes— It flies... It flies away...

Sweet Satellite 02:04
lyrics
Why do you revolve around me so, Sweet satellite? You should be the earth and I the moon Lighting your face at night By Sun's reflection Launderer and cook and friend and wife What have I done To deserve the service of your love? When you're the deserving one Of all my affection... Princess is your name and rightly so, Sarah, my bride, You have ruled the kingdom of my heart When all hope for love had died Breathed resurrection What have I done To deserve a lifetime of your love When you're the deserving one Of all my affection...

Don't Want the Music 06:00
lyrics
Been trying to tell myself I love You But my actions now persuade me otherwise Some like the songs I sing Some say the words are sweet But when they look into my eyes Sometimes I worry that they'll find That I don't really know You Half as well as I know You know That I could... That I should by now I don't want the music without You I don't care the melody That is one song I won't sing I don't wanna do this without You Some time ago I made a promise I couldn't keep I said I'd love You 'till I died But I didn't realize that to die was to love You And that life was to know You more And to live... was to give my life away I don't want the music without You I don't care the melody That is one song I won't sing I don't wanna do this without You And with the world at my feet What would I prove to be? And with my empty hands, still striving The grand facades that I attain, The greatest loss would be my gain: To look at You and see disdain I don't want the music without You I don't care the melody That is one song I won't sing I don't wanna do this without You
