1. VERUM

If my faith rests in ignorance
If I've subscribed to lies
If I've abandoned intellect
Then my eyes have no sight

You say that I am programmed
Yet my heart is of flesh
You say that I am brainwashed
Yet my mind's been made new

I have perceived
The celestial unseen
I have encountered
The invisible deity

I believe in this verum
I find rest in your sanctum
I believe in this verum
I find rest in this sanctum, sanctum

I believe for he's given me sight
I believe for I've seen this light
I believe for I'm nothing apart
I believe for it's in my heart


2. SPIRIT AND FLESH

How shall we who died to sin
Continue to live in its stench?
How can we whose bodies live
Still embrace this rotting flesh?

Buried with Him into death
And resurrected into His life
Now that we have been set free
Sin no longer will command.

I will not be mastered by persuasions of this world,
I will not be mastered by inclinations of the flesh,
I will not be mastered by these things that will drag me down,
I will not be mastered by these things that emerge from hell.

Food for the stomach, and stomach for the food
Yet our God of power will destroy them both.
Food for the stomach, and stomach for the food
Yet our God of power will destroy them both.

So the war wages between the spirit and flesh
A battle between this life and death.
So the war wages between the spirit and flesh
A battle between this life and death.


3. TRAVAIL

My hands are bloodied, my skin is calloused,
I've labored and I've toiled.
This yoke upon my neck,
The restraints on my wrists
Were placed by my own hands.
This stone I've carried,
That I have burdened for
Was lifted from my arms.

You have circumcised my heart
You have refused my bribery.
What is offered cannot be procured
It is the free gift of God.

For I have become like one who is unclean, in my travail.
And all my righteous deeds are like filthy rags.
And I will wither like the autumn leaf,
My iniquities, like the wind, will cast me away.

Come to me all ye weary and heavy laden
And I will give you rest,
I'll give you rest.


4. INDWELLING

He who dwells in the shelter of God
Will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
For it is He who delivers me from the snare and the plague.

My refuge, my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust.
My refuge, my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust.

I will not be afraid of night,
Of the arrow that flies by day.
Or the plague that stalks in darkness
Of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand.
This danger shall not approach my tent.

I will only look with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.
For I have made the Lord, my refuge
The Most High, my dwelling place.


5. NO RESERVES. NO RETREATS. NO REGRETS.

Many times I felt defeated,
Many times I felt alone.
These words I will remember,
Be still and know you are God.

These words of fire
Burn in my heart
Never to leave me
No reserves!

My life I give up
I'm not my own
My will has broken
No retreats! No regrets!
No retreats!

These words of fire
Burn in my heart
Never to leave me
No reserves!

My life I give up
I'm not my own
My will has broken
No retreats! No regrets!
No regrets!

No reserves! No retreats! No regrets!

Came to serve, not to be served
This world received Him not
My life in service, to your will
I am not my own, not my own!

No reserves! No retreats! No regrets!

No regrets!


6. ANIMATE THE LIFELESS

From the onset of my existence on this earth,
I moved toward the bleakness of death.
From the start of my being my thoughts were bent on the things that pull
Me towards the blackness of hell.
From the beginning of my time my body has walked this plane
Without the sensation of life.

I've expired,
My heart's failed,
My life's ceased,
I draw no breath.

Lay your hands on my chest,
Reanimate me, revive this lifeless body.
Let my heart begin to beat again,
Let these veins pulse with the life you've bought.

Raise me from this fleshly grave,
Raise me, let me know your resurrection

Your resurrection. (x3)


7. DEPREDATION OF THE CHERISHED

Taken for slavery
Trafficked to the godless.
Defiled by depravity
Dolls for the vile perverse.

Wronged by this fallen world
A malady vast and deep.
Wronged by this fallen world
Victims of sickening crimes.
O daughters, your Father weeps for you.

Yet His anger compounds against,
Against those who are culpable.
His wrath will rise upon this evil
His justice will be done.
His justice will be done.

Cherished, beloved, depredated
His Justice will be done.

O daughters, your Father weeps for you. (x4)
