1. BENEATH THE SORROW

They always seem to want more
So tell me what you're living for
You saw the light, then you just turned away
You never gave a second glance
You never thought you had a chance
There is a path that leads out of the pain

It's all in your mind
It's all in your fears
It's all beneath the wonder of thoughts still deranged
It's all in your mind
It's all in your fears
It's all beneath the sorrow of things you can't change

Another day has come and gone
Don't let the time drag on
The wages fell on the lamb who was slain
You could never carry the torch
'Cause we've all fallen short
We rest in him, the debt has been pain


2. DEAD AND BURIED

Life is a mystery, why you choose to run
It's in your history, like a bullet from a gun

It comes so fast out of your past
It breaks you down
Your'e caught inside a cycle
That screams without a sound

Let the dead bury the dead
Come and follow me in every word that's said, remember me

So long I've waited for you to call my name
The rose has faded, but I love you just the same


3. ABSOLUTE

One more time it twists and turns
In my veins, a fire burns
I lick the wounds of past regret
Take this noose from around my neck

Lead me and guide me
You make me whole again
Flowing from inside of me
You make me whole again

One more time I'm on my face
My selfishness is such a waste
Here I am, it's only me
You lift me from my catastrophe

I lift my hands towards the sky
'Till my last breath before I die
Let them see your light shine
In my life to all mankind


4. FORGIVE ME

Another battle I have to fight
But there's trouble in my soul
My mind aches and my heart breaks
Why do I let you get to me
Like a needle beneath the skin
When daylight fades the pain awakes

I felt the rain come, I felt the rain come down

Looking past the moment
To a brighter shade of gray
Do you see the hurt in me
I won't convince myself again
I'm trapped on borderlines
It's haunting me how this could be

It was all that I could do
To say good-bye to you
Forgive me for my wrongs
You're right where you belong


5. WHEN YOUR LOVE DIED

Know you're innocent, say you're guilty
I'll strip your clothes and whip your back
I'll nail your hands and feet
To that unholy tree
A final phase, a deadly act

I was there when your love died
I stood there when your love died
I was there, I was there, when your love died

Hanging from that tree, oh, how could it be
That your love still sees inside
A shout against your name, still it is the same
Empty words leave no disguise

When I cursed your name, your eyes consumed me
When the spear ripped your side, it pierced the heart in me
When you felt betrayed by the love of your Father
I heard you call His name, the right goes on and on in my soul
I saw you there, I saw you die for me
You were crucified and I cried there with you
They nailed your hands and your feet


6. WIPE AWAY THE TEARS

Scared and alone, abused and betrayed
She doesn't understand as she bears all the pain
Tired of the hate and all of the lies
She wonders if she'll ever get through this alive

She cries away her tears
And all the pain she bears
She screams out for relief
From all her misery

Parents divorced and the children confused
They wonder where the time went when
Everyone seemed true
Everything they say and everything they do
The parents ignore them as the fight continues

They cry away their tears
And all the pain they bear
They scream out for relief
From all their misery

And they cry out for someone to save them
And He hears every word of their prayers

He wipes away their tears
And all the pain they bear
He gives them all relief
From all their misery


7. LIFTING MY HANDS UP

It's too much to take
We're learning to hate
Is this all that life has to offer
In sin that we've found
We're choosing to drown
But I arise and refuse to smother

Lifting my hands up
Letting my eyes close
Lifting my hands up
Letting the pain go

The future is mine
Corrupt or divine
The consequence of me in forever
The world will deceive and the flesh is diseased
When I'm with you, the cancer is severed


8. UNPREDICTABLE

Life is unpredictable
It spins all around me
I try to keep my head up
It seems, it seems, to surround me

I need you to wrap your arms around me

Life is unpredictable
It seems to slip away
I trust in all that you are
In every word that you say


9. WE'RE ALIVE

We're alive, by the power of his blood
And his undying love
We're alive, we rejoice and proclaim
That we give him the praise

Not a reed, shaking in the wind
Standing strong, through the lion's den
Let the fire burn within me


10. AMONG THE THORNS

Things are right in what you say
But they don't exist in what you do
You write the rules to the game you play
But you're not saved by a point of view

The mystery of selfish deeds among the thorns
Your wounds still bleed

You are safely in the dark
But judgement comes in the breaking dawn
You can't hide what's in your heart
How much more can this go on

It's catching up with you, it's on your back
It's right behind you, don't turn around


11. PERFECT TRUTH

Search me, oh Lord, and all of my ways
All the secrets of my heart
Search me, oh Lord, and try me today
Find all the wicked ways in me

I see your beauty
I see your love
I see your hands stretched high up above
Please come and take me

Take me away, take my whole life
Show me the things that I try to hide

Lead me, oh Lord, in your righteous path
Give me strength to follow you
Deliver me, Lord, from all evil things
Keep me in your perfect truth

Search me, and try me, and lead me, and help me, and take me away


12. REVEAL

The games I've played are over
No more wasting precious time
I couldn't sink any longer
I've got to leave the past behind
You hold the key

Reveal your heart to me
Set my spirit free
Reveal your heart to me
Make me whole
Reveal your heart to me
Cause these blind eyes to see
Reveal your heart to me
Make me whole

With every choice I'm making
You're with me still
With every step I'm taking
I want to be in your perfect will
I bow my knee


13. KISS THIS WORLD GOODBYE

Staring into the darkness
Longing for my home
Far away, not far away
Patiently waiting, believing what I know
Every day I watch and pray

Lord come quickly
Hear my cry
When you call for me
I'll kiss this world good-bye

Sitting all alone again
So torn apart inside
The scars I pray will fade away
The world's gone crazy
The signs of the time
The games are played
We've gone astray
