Spirit (Keep On)
Be still now child
When you’ve lost your way
And the hell of yesterday
Bleeds into today
I see the storm is raging
Inside and all around
You’re a tempest tossed, til you’re lost
And feeling for the ground
Oh I will never leave you, orphaned all alone
I’ll send my Spirit to come and call you home
I see the broken edges
And the tearing of your will
In the secret dark of the human heart
And I’ll lean in closer still
‘Cause I got mercy miles and miles
I got truth full of years
And it goes on for ages
Stretching into the clear
Oh I will never leave you, orphaned all alone
I’ll send my Spirit to come and call you home
Home, home…

Autumn In Kingston Springs
Well I didn’t want to lay it down
But I knew I had to give it up
I was fooling myself for far too long
When I finally found I’d had enough
Then I got broken down as I could be
It took a while but I busted free
Through the rattle and shinin’, rhythm and rhyme
In the rustle of the falling leaves
Praying we the poor in Spirit
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us
Well I was kneeling when the whistle blew
A premonition in a heavy hue
When we caught us a breeze through the tunnel of trees
Beneath the silver of the Harpeth moon
We were carried by the Spirit’s power
In the glory of the golden hour
Lying crippled and bruised, betrayed and accused
I was moving but I didn’t know how
Praying we the poor in Spirit
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us
I know you’ll bind and bottle every tear
And I’m still reeling from the tender words
You whisper loud and clear
Yellow, maple, red and tangerine
Well it’s autumn now in Kingston Springs
Where the church bells chime the rhythm and rhyme
Blowing beauty like you wouldn’t believe
And all the trouble that you’ve known so well
Like the color on the old hotel
It’s gonna wither and fade
Wither and fade
Wither and fade away

Lover of My Soul

Lover of My Soul
You’re the lover of my soul
And I’m like a drowning man
Only your tender mercy
Can turn the sea to land
You’re the lover of my soul
My anchor in the storm
From out of the falling darkness
The hope of day is born
Holy Spirit, heaven’s wind
Come and make your presence known
Hold me in your righteousness
By faith in you alone
You’re the lover of my soul
My shelter and my shield
Surely your love surrounds me
My mortal wound is healed
Surely your love surrounds me
My mortal wound is healed
You’re the lover of my soul
You’re the lover of my soul
You’re the lover of my soul
You’re the lover of my soul

The Slow Surrender

The Slow Surrender
Separated, distant and alone
Cold communication and you don’t even know
The measure of your defenses though over engineered
They could never hold up the weight of all the fear
We isolate to ease the pain but that won’t make it go away
‘Cause the truth is we’re no good alone
Try to fake it, dressing up the part
For the one who knew you naked from the start
See you with your hands up, lifted in the air
It’s the slow surrender, collapsed and unprepared
And it should come as no surprise we’re blessed with failure by design
Of the truth oh we’re no good alone
Me and you, oh we’re no good alone
Called out of isolation, the Spirit’s invitation
Baptized imagination, come join the living world
Oh we’re no good alone
Me and you, oh we’re no good alone

Many Waters
Baby there’s nothing cliché
About you and me
We said our vows
In the cemetery
And I know it’s hard to believe
When you’ve suffered such pain
You want someone to blame
For what was taken away
If I could get you alone, I’m gonna show you
Love stronger than death, as fierce as the grave
In the fire that flashes, a sacred desire
For many waters won’t wash it away
So set me a seal on your heart
If you know what I mean
Until the day breathes
And the shadows flee
Yeah you’re covered in clothes
And everyone knows
That shame can be loud
But it’s quiet here now
If I could get you alone, I’m gonna show you
Love stronger than death, as fierce as the grave
In the fire that flashes, a sacred desire
For many waters won’t wash it away
Wash it away, won’t wash it away
Wash it away, won’t wash it away
Baby there’s nothing cliché about you and me

Speak

Speak
If you speak, I will hear your voice
I’ve been listening for the sound
For the words that form to cross your lips, ring in my ears
Gather up the strength and trust enough to do it
Like when you were young, there was nothing to it
Oh open up your heart
I just wanna know, I just wanna feel
If ever there’s a chance of getting something real
Oh you know it’s worth the fight
And if you speak, I will hear your voice
I’ve been listening for the sound
For the words that form to cross your lips, ring in my ears
You’re standing still, everything is moving
The light, the heat, the color of the moment
Oh, I can’t let it pass us by
It’s burning in your chest, blazing like a fire
Shut up in your bones, balanced on a wire
Oh there’s no holding back the flood
To bridge the fear and the anguish deep
In the peace we share, such a sweet release
No sentimental, ordinary, holy mystery
You’re keeping locked inside
Is there a word that’s ringing true?
Or some coded combination for getting through to you?
There must be a thousand ways to break our hearts
It only takes a word to penetrate the dark
The silence closing in on every side
Can never stop the light from shining

The Faithful Kind

The Faithful Kind
Oh my brother there’s so much I want to say
But my emotions get the best of me
and the words they slip away
You were there, you were there when life got rough
Yeah you gave me strength to carry on when I didn’t have enough
Oh the ache and the pain of those days
It felt like everything was leaving me but you stayed
And I want to say I love you and I want to thank you now
There was heartbreak on the walls of every room
Hope was hollowed out of history and the veil was torn in two
A broken home
It was your voice talking on the phone
About how time and truth go hand in hand
Abandoned but not alone
And I want to say I love you and I want to thank you now
The devil has his own designs
To terrorize you flying blind
You’ll walk a mile before you find
How the light it stretches far and wide
There is no fear in love
There is no fear in love
There is no fear in love
There is no fear in love
I know because you showed me
You showed me, you showed me
You showed me
And you’re the faithful kind

Last Chance // Psalm 88

Last Chance
I am alone in fear
Entrenched by death I'm stranded here
There is no sun up in my sky
I’m pounded by your every wave
Your anger is like a silent cage
People say your love has passed me by
But I'm standing my ground
Though I'm living out on the edge of hell
Have I been swallowed by the night?
Oh for crying out loud
You're the king of the angels in the sky
And I'm feeling your rage at every side
Do my words even matter at all?
Can you still hear me when I call?
Or are you as deaf as I am blind?
Am I alone with the trouble I'm in?
The darkness is my only friend
Even my love left me behind
But I'm standing my ground
Though I'm living out on the edge of hell
Have I been swallowed by the night?
Oh for crying out loud
You're the king of the angels in the sky
And I'm feeling your rage at every side
You are my last chance through the fire and the falling rain
You are my last chance and when I'm lost you're my way back again
You are my last chance through the fire and the falling rain
You are my last chance and when I'm lost you're my way back again
Lord I’m lost, be my way back again
Oh Lord I’m lost, be my way back...
