Coming Clean
04:42

i’m swimmin fast from the wreck
this water’s up to my neck
there’s no pretending I’m fine
somebody throw me a line
somebody show me a sign
i got nowhere left to turn
all my bridges burned
and with all these lessons learned
i’m coming clean in your light
my robes are radiant white
this is who i am
just a broken man
i been bound to all these idols i have worshipped
still here I am, Lord Jesus, for Your purpose
I’m coming clean
i’m coming clean
i’m broken down but i’m free
my hopes are dashed but i see
what’s lost is not what i need
all that remains is me
all that i feel is peace
with nowhere left to move,
no one left to lose
and nothing left to prove
i’m coming clean in your light
my robes are radiant white
this is who i am
just a broken man
i been bound to all these idols i have worshipped
still here I am, Lord Jesus, for Your purpose
I’m coming clean
i’m coming clean
this renaissance could be the death of me
though my old haunts are calling out
(like a muse to shipwreck)
i see You walking on the waves
i hear Your voice, I see Your face
and I know that i've been saved
i’m coming clean in Your light
my robes are radiant white
this is who i am
this is where I stand
i'm coming clean
i'm coming clean in Your light
my robes are radiant white
and i know, i know
i know who i am
just a broken man
here I am, my Jesus, for Your purpose
i want Your voice to be heard
i want Your light to be seen
to shine across this land
into the heart of every man
so every knee will bow down
and every tongue will confess
before the great I Am
the spotless Lamb
sing it loud, sing it out
sing it now: i'm coming clean
i'm coming clean

Back to You
03:47
|
|||
|
i went from a man on a mission
to a wanderer gone fishing
with my fruitless ambition
for the proof
i went from a hardcore seeker
to a daydream believer
i was decieved by the deceiver
led away from the truth
i been wondering where my heart has been
and if you'll let me in when i come to
i been wandering, but now i'm crawlin' back again
back to You
i'm coming back to You
so if there's Someone up there listening
and You find a sheep's gone missing
it's this backslidden Christian
yeah, You probably know a few
honestly, i'm so messed up without You
and lately I been thinking about You
i've been such a fool, such a fool
cause I've always known the truth
so now i'm wondering where my heart has been
and if you'll let me in when i come to
i been wandering, but now i'm crawlin' back again
back to You
i'm coming back to You
from where i stand
i can't see the hand in front of my face
from where i lay
i feel how hard i fell from grace
i been wondering where my heart has been
and if you'll let me in when i come to
i been wondering where my heart has been
and if i've still got a Friend in You
i been wonderin' if there's a way
or if i've still got debts to pay
oh, i've got the will
show me the way
Father, hear me pray
and bring me back to You

My son, My son, why are you striving?
You can't add one thing to what's been done for you
I did it all while I was dying
Rest in your faith, my peace will come to you
When I hear the praises start
I want to rain upon you
How I wanna will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child and you know me
To Me you're only holy
Nothing that you've done remains
Only what you do for Me
My child, My child, why are you weeping?
You will not have to wait forever
That day and that hour is in My keeping
The day I'll bring you into Heaven
My precious bride, the day is nearing
When I'll take you in My arms and hold you
I know there are so many things that you've been hearing
But you just hold on to what I’ve told you

Unsatisfied
04:03
|
|||
|
this bag does not define me
all i'm carryin' around
hides the weight that bogs me down
all i'm strivin' for is found
when i toss it to the ground
no, I am not this bag
these clothes do not define me
i'd stand naked in the night
in the warmth of love you light
with my shivering held tight
and the cold would take to flight
no, I am not my clothes
everyone's thinkin' it
but no one wants to admit
that everything we're buyin'
leaves us unsatisfied
and this body don't define me
though the years will take their toll
and the youth of morning fold
i won't fight to keep a hold
of what i know will one day go
no, I am not these bones
everyone's thinkin' it
but no one wants to admit
that all the things we're tryin'
leave us unsatisfied
and my past does not define me
all the places i've come from
all the hearts i've hit and run
can't deny the things i've done
but leave room for who i could become
everyone's thinking it
and I'll be the first one to admit
that deep inside i'm dying
all these things I'm trying
and everything I'm buying
leaves me unsatisfied
oh, it leaves me unsatisfied
oh, it leaves me unsatisfied

Boy Become A Man
02:53
|
|||
|
you cried your way inside my heart
and i have rocked you fast asleep
the face reflected up at me
says, "boy, become a man"
you're crawling into everything
my lazy chair, my songs and dreams
one day you'll walk... right next to me
a boy, become a man
the funny thing is I am learning
twice as much as you
and you don't know the half of it
what you have taught me too
when you've outgrown your baby clothes
your fire trucks and g.i. joes
i want to be the one who knows
the boy become a man
when laughter makes our insides frail
when pain is more than words can tell
i want to be the one to help
the boy become a man
the funny thing is I am learning
twice as much as you
and you don't know the half of it
what you have brought me through
and when i look on yesterday
the fights we had, the games we played
the storms we chartered into bay
when we could not see land
with weathered eyes and feathered gray
and you, a Dad in your own way
i'll turn to you with pride and say,
"the boy's become a man"

Do What You Want To
04:40
|
|||
|
i have failed to seek the truth
all these plans that i've pursued
they have led to this dead end, with no friend
and that is when I found You
in my heart i'm on my knees
do what You want to
and i'm asking You, Lord, please
do what You want to
take my life, it's Yours alone
do what You want to
make my heart Your royal throne
do what You want to
You're the Name above all names
worthy of the highest praise
so won't You take the praise You're due
and I will stand here in this place
and worship You
|

|
There is a reason for me to be here
There is a purpose that You have made clear
Jesus, I love You, and I want my life
To be lived for Your glory, to be good in Your sight
“Well done”, I wanna hear You say, “Well done”
At the end of my days, all I want is Your praise
And to hear You say, “Well done”
"Good and faithful one, well done"
"My beloved child, well done"

Where Else Could I Go?
04:41
|
|||
|
yeah, it's true, i've thought about leaving
i thought about walking out, throwin' in the towel
and some days i wonder just what i've done
have it thrown my life away on some children's fairytale
and i can see so many people walking away from you
and i can hear you ask me if i'm gonna leave you too, but
where else could i go?
You have the words of eternal life
Jesus, You are the Christ
I believe
You are the Son of the living God
the Savior of my soul
the only Love I know, oh Lord
where else could i go?
follow me, come and leave everything, come and lay down your dreams
take up your cross and die, place your bets on a kingdom you can't see yet
a Pauper who paid your debt, whose death has brought you life
and i can see a world of people turning its back on you
and i can hear you ask if i'm still gonna follow you
Cause You are the way in the dark of the night
And You are the truth in a world full of lies
And You are the Shepherd who laid down His life for me

Won't Forget You
03:33
|
|||
|
You are my home, you are my friends
But this is not where my story ends
I've got to go and carry on
This time apart could make us strong
And I won't forget you
You're in my thoughts, you're in my head
You're in my dreams, you're in my prayers
So how could I ever forget?
And when our faces meet again
I'll grab ahold and pull you in
I'm looking forward until then
And I will not forget you
You are my song when I am weak
Your memory, it carries me
