1. CHANGE OF HEART

Great and Almighty, great King of all Kings
Your glory goes higher than all that has wings
It’s true what they say, that Your love lasts forever
I bow down in fear at the thought of Your might

Strength be found
In my weakness ‘cos Your spirit lives within me

Honor to You in the seat of perfection
I ask that You mold me to be alike You

Refine me, redefine me, start in me a change of heart,
Re-spine me, sanctify me,
Make me your sweet piece of art

Hold me closer,
Let me feel the warmth of Your arms
My despise for
All that keeps me from you is on fire

Entering light, (I) find reconstruction to be an
Unpleasant high. Your wings still shield me, gold
Must be burnt to lose what keeps it from shining

Praise be to You for Your love and compassion
That You take what’s nothing and lift it up high
Your skills of restoring are somewhat insane
How You fix what is broken, to You be the fame

Strength be found. in my weakness ‘cos
Your spirit lives within me

Honor to You in the seat of perfection
I ask that You mold me to be alike You

Refine me, redefine me, start in me a change of heart,
Re-spine me, sanctify me,
Make me your sweet piece of art


2. COME, LET US SPEAK

Come let us speak of all the Great deeds our God
Did and left us memories. True is the Word, all good
Things comes from above. How He is good, how He is
Great, how His love finds a way to my darkest place.
Faithful is He that guides me,
Unworthy of His...

Mind blowing grace I've been given to face You,
I treasure the look on Your face as you see me,
I'm running towards You, where I know I'm safe.
Surely there's nothing that can compare to Your
Loving embrace, oh my God, come consume me
With Your perfect love

Glory, glory onto the throne
You alone God, rule on Your Own
None can take Your place in the high
I put my trust in You El-Shaddai

Heavy all around me I sense Your glory.
What a pleasure to be near, I lost the sense of my
Insanity. Holding my breath, as You breathe into me
It's as intimate as can be. Precious Saviour
You're the One that sets me free.

I have been bound, been pushed around bound and
Gagged by a force from under ground. Still there
Is no force strong than Jesus Christ. Resucred and
Put back on my feet, set me straight for the path He
Laid for me. Faithful is He that guides me,
Unworthy of His love.

Glory, glory onto the throne
You alone God, rule on Your Own
None can take Your place in the high
I put my trust in You El-Shaddai


3. FALL DOWN

I am cold, I am snow, I am all dead
Spirit autopilot has taken over instead

Needless bleeding consoles my soul,
Makes me think I am alive
Truth be told, the frost goes deep through
My skin flesh and blood.

Shake me Lord, bring Your fire, defrost my heart,
And in fear of what I have become, I see no choice
But to storm Your gates, find Your throne and

Fall down, bow down, to the ground, fall down.

Silent falling in submission while understanding
I was given my free will to be able to serve
The King of all kings

Down cast soul of mine, rise and move to the
Sound of our God restoring the broken pieces
Inside, mercy comes, mercy stays, He won't let mercy
Fade away. And along with the angels I will scream
Out of passion, may you be glorified, we...

Fall down, bow down, to the ground, fall down.

Break off the lies that tear apart
My mind and root me in truth
My god, I am all dependent on you.

Needless bleeding consoles my soul,
Makes me think I am alive
Truth be told, the frost goes deep through
My skin flesh and blood.

Down cast soul of mine, rise and move to the
Sound of our God restoring the broken pieces
Inside, mercy comes, mercy stays, He won't let mercy
Fade away. And along with the angels I will scream
Out of passion, may you be glorified, we...

Fall down, bow down, to the ground, fall down.


4. ÆREFRYKT

Veldig så veldig, mitt hjerte roper hellig
Ja hellig er du allmektig gud.
Min sjel så beæret av å kjenne deg min herre
Kan el hindren den I å roper ut

Pris han navn
Hev røsten og syng din takkesang
Alene er han vår frelser og konge,
Vår redningsmann

Ære til deg som besitter den høyeste trone
Min Gud, se ærefrykt har inntatt mitt vesen som
Følge av din storhet

Skjønt og vakkert er det gamle vikingland
Som brer seg ut med fjord og fjell og de mørkeste
Skoger. Å herre, hvor fantastisk det er, ditt
Skaperverk. La Jordens indre rope ut at du er herre,
Kom vær oss nær.

Der fjell stiger opp av vann gjennom skyene høyt,
Der rommes mitt sinn av en gudsfrykt noe så hinsides
Drøyt. For fjellet. Det vitner om hvordan du
Er så stor. Mens du ser til oss folk. Som er så små.
Her nede på denner jord.

Pris han navn
Hev røsten og syng din takkesang
Alene er han vår frelser og konge,
Vår redningsmann

Veldig så veldig, mitt hjerte roper hellig
Ja hellig er du allmektig gud.
Min sjel så beæret av å kjenne deg min herre
Kan el hindren den I å roper ut

Ære til deg som besitter den høyeste trone
Min Gud, se ærefrykt har inntatt mitt vesen som
Følge av din storhet


5. REACH FOR THE SKY

Blinded, so blind to your love for mankind
The masses bring shame to Your name
And who am I, to tell them it's a lie
To stand up and reach for the sky

You are our only hope, You are our source, of which all
Good things spring fourth. You are the One,
Who can fill our hearts void,
And keep us from dying destroyed

Praises of Your greatness I scream from my heart
Holy is Your name and forever You reign

Mercy, oh mercy, Lord pour out Your mercy on me,
'Cos I'm weak in myself. Oh, wisdom come teach me,
Oh grace come and bear me, come strengthen
The core of my soul

You are our hope, You are our source, of which all
Good things spring forth. You are the One, who
can fill our hearts void, and keep us from
Dying destroyed

Bright - Your glory so heavy You glow
Shining - Your face is like 10,000 suns
I tremble and fear - bow down at Your feet where
You whisper to me how, You really care, and the day
Of redemption, salvation and vengeance is near

You are our hope. You are our source, of which all
Good things spring forth. You are the One, who
Can fill our hearts void, and keep us from dying
Destroyed


6. LEGACY

Darkness, my eyes were all black
Convinced that all they saw was death,
Destruction and painful memories
Brothers, I've seen through the blindfold
That we are not slaves, free from the blades,
Sons with a heritage of a God engaged.

Call to arms, let's go reclaim our legacy
It's been our all this time
And we'll find what we once thought we
Lost for good is entitled as ours

Spirit in me lift your face
Go find your place, to break out in praise,
Exalt the one who offers eternal grace.
My God, come scar my soul, with the truth of what
I as your son behold, through the blood of which
Your body was denied, while crucified, I remain in
Awe of how when we failed, this was your plan for
Restoration all along.

Call to arms, let's go reclaim our legacy
It's been our all this time
And we'll find what we once thought we
Lost for good is entitled as ours


7. SILENCE

Repetition, words upon words
Seems our praise is nothing but spam
Where's the honest cry of a yearning heart?
Where's the passionate scream to honor our God?

Fed up with the lack of original praise.
All the words I can think of comes from someone
Else. And my own words are gone, still I long to
Be near you. So I enter your throne and I offer my
Worship of silence.

And in the end I guess I wonder
Which one of heart or lips give praise

Head bowed down and knees rooted to the
Ground while my hands are lifted towards the
Throne of the Holy One. I embraced this
Silent relation between man and God where
Heart reaches heart and we speak without words,
Where I forget all that is painful and hurts. And I
Dwell in the house of the highest of Gods, where
I'm always welcomes simply 'cos I am His son.

9. HARDEST ROCKING GOD OF ALL TIME

When a season is changing
And my spirit is weak. Sometimes
Faith Seems like fiction,
'Cos my eye can only weep.
And my head is buried
In my hands so deep
Then I force myself to remember
How great my God is.

He is one to stay close to
All of those that mourn
And the sorrowful of heart
He shows compassion for
When my spirit is dying
He's the light at the end
Saying I will restore you
And heal you once again

Blessing to the throne of compassion
And mercy and hope. Our heart scream
Of your faithfulness everlasting. For we
Are ones whose voices were hushed. Yet
We line up with the angels in order to
Forever sing praise to Your Name.

He is the One that turns the storm
To quest sea. He's the One who feeds
Thousands some bread and
Tiny fish. He's so strong and so might
And His Spirit lives in me. We are on,
We are unified, so His strength
Recharges me. Whatever my needs are,
He has thought of them first.
And He guides my every step to
Lands where I will never thirst.
And wherever I'm heading,
I can feel his presence near, 'cos
He promised me long time ago,
"I will never leave, I swear."

Jesus, Your love for mankind blows
My mind. Oh, Saviour, in my own
Words I'll say you're the hardest
Rocking God of all time.


10. IN THE THRONE ROOM

We come in through the gates
And await the arrival of the King.
And though I'm afraid, there is something
That tells me there is nothing here to fear.

Doors fly open and light comes in
Now I wait to see if that's Him
Jesus Christ, Mr. King of Kings
I'm here to offer Thanksgiving

(Nails, hands, blood ran, sins gone, white as snow)

With the number of days
I've been given I will praise
Your Name and Scream it loud
Everyone will hear shout
About a mercy so true
And how life is at hand if we
Only turn to you

Heart and soul
Of mine you behold
And forever we'll be
Reunited the way we were
Meant to live


11. INTERLUDE

(Instrumental)


12. JEG ER FRELST, Å FOR EN NADE

Jeg er frelst, å for en nåde!
Nåde over nåde.
Jeg er frelst, Å hvilken gåte!
Nåde over nåde.
Tenk all min synd har Jesus sonet!
Til sin brud har han meg kronet.
Jeg er frelst, å for en nåde!
Nåde over nåde.

Dag for dag han meg bevarer.
Nåde over nåde.
Frelser meg fra syndens farer.
Nåde over nåde.
Og om jeg synder, han forlater.
Dag for dag han meg bevarer.
Nåde over nåde.

Gud skje lov, snart er jeg hjemme!
Nåde over nåde.
Lammets sang jeg skal istemme.
Nåde over nåde.
Takk, Jesus. Takk for nådens under.
Takk for fred i sår og vunder!
Gud skje love, snart er jeg hjemme.
Nåde over nåde.
