1. FULLY ALIVE (ACOUSTIC)

Telling Layla's story spoken
'bout how all her bones are broken
Hammers fall on all the pieces
Two months in the cover creases

Here she stands today
In her briliant shining way

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life

All my complains shrink to nothing
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered

Here she stands today
In her briliant shining way

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
Ready to smile and love life

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
Ready to smile and love life

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
Ready to smile and love life


2. MUCH LIKE FALLING

When I said good morning
I was lying
I was truly thinking of
How I might quit waking up

He pointed out how selfish
It would be kill myself
So I keep waking up

It feels so much like falling
Dying while I wait to die
The fear of something or nothing
Lonely empty lie

I don't want to be a liar
I don't want to be selfish anymore
I want so much to change
Learning your love everyday
There's still so much to know

You grip my wrists
I let go

It feels so much like falling
Separated from the fear
Aware of a destination far away from here

It feels so much like falling
Separated from the fear
Aware of a destination far away from here
Far away from here


3. JUSTICE AND MERCY

We can’t be oblivious
We are not ignorant
Blood in our hearts
Blood on our hands
We’re human, we reason, we’re breathing, protecting
The living and dying, surviving, we’re trying
To breathe in safety
Come home safely

Mercy screams it’s violent love
Justice and mercy
Justice and mercy
The depth of us created for
Justice and mercy
Justice and mercy
This is where they kiss

Life he sacrificed
Someone who paid the price
Blood in our hearts
Blood on our hands
We’re crying, we’re fighting, it’s warfare, we’re dying
Believing we’re winning, it’s ending, we’re singing
It’s already done
We’ve overcome

Mercy screams it’s violent love
Justice and mercy
Justice and mercy
The depth of us created for
Justice and mercy
Justice and mercy
This is where they kiss

With a life on the line (fire)
That consumes or refines (fire)
To ascend or decline
To retreat or to climb
Out of sight out of mind
‘Til attacked from behind
Will this fire consume or refine

Mercy screams it’s violent love
Justice and mercy
Justice and mercy
The depth of us created for
Justice and mercy
Justice and mercy
This is where they kiss


4. CHRISTMAS SONG

A frightened virgin teenage girl
Receives a message that defies the laws of this world
All she can do is weep and nod
She's to bring into this world the Son of God

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns

A star appears fufilling ancient prophecy
There's an ounce of fear as wise men follow faithfully
The Virgin Mary brings forth the human savior
And this future king sleeps soundly in the manger
Soundly in the manger

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns

Tonight He is born so one day He can die
To heal hearts that are torn and live the perfect life
So He hang upon a cross and we can take His life
So we can live as sinners
And He can pay the price
Tonight He is born so one day he can die
But He will rise again

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns
