Yesterday is gone, swept away like ashes
The unrest in my soul, where darkness clashes
Ghosts of an empty past, they whisper in the night
I’m drowning in the shadows, yearning for the Light

I need to find a way, (out of this mess)
In the fire of my life, (I want to hurt less)
Echoes of my sorrow, (They’re tearing me apart)
Every scream for mercy, (I’m calling from my heart)

In this void despair, I wander like a wolf
Clawing through these memories, I’m haunted by the gulf
The things that I’ve seen and done, he tries to remind me
Telling me I’m nothing, that I’ll never be free
But now with Your Spirit, dwelling on the inside
Your grace is my assurance, in which I will abide.

Jesus, I need You now, (through the storm I cry)
Beacon in the tempest, (my reason to try)
The chains of my yesterday, (they hang like heavy stones)
I rise from the ashes, (reborn and not alone)

“After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.”

~John 19:28-20 NASB’95~

I’ll add noise to the quiet, until a riot hides the still small voice
Don’t listen when it’s spoken, leaving it broken but there’s still a choice
Tuning out all the sound, to avoid being drown by a song of many waters
But there’s still a repeating, a cry of bleating of a lamb lead to the slaughter

Going against the guidance
In the times of silence I scream the loudest
I’m screaming out

I’ll add noise to the quiet, until a riot hides the still small voice
Don’t listen when it’s spoken, leaving it broken but there’s still a choice
Tuning out all the sound, to avoid being drown by a song of many waters
But there’s still a repeating, a sound of bleating of a lamb lead to the slaughter

Going against the guidance
In the times of silence I scream the loudest
I’m screaming out

Echoes reverberating, whispers to screams
Distort the understanding from what it seems

Amplify what is pleasing, compress what’s true
Frequencies stays familiar, no tones are new

Echoes reverberating, whispers to screams
Distort the understanding from what it seems

Going against the guidance
When there’s times of silence I scream the loudest
When there’s times of silence I scream the loudest
I’m screaming out

In spite of the questions flying
Stand through lying
All will fall in vain

The voices they cry deception
False direction
Still the truth remains

The hearts are pressed and beaten
Faith is eaten
Consumed by the flames

Yet the call that keep on sounding
Grace surrounding
Wash the stain away

Hold the line now
Etched in the ground
Ignoring what it’s all about

No stones allowed
Turning around
The silence calls it out

Sketched what the law demanded
Lines unbranded
Seen it all before

The ink was the dust and waiting
Stones were grating
Truth knelt on the floor

The crowd drew back in silence
Lacking violence
Heart was made so sore

Coming to draw conclusions
But illusions
Argue anymore

Hold the line now
Etched in the ground
Ignoring what it’s all about

No stones allowed
Turning around
The silence calls it out

So go in
And throw around
In your glass house

Drawn thin
Will still be found
When the stones run out

Hold the line now
Etched in the ground
Ignoring what it’s all about

No stones allowed
Turning around
The silence who condemns you now

Hold the line now
Etched in the ground
Ignoring what it’s all about

No stones allowed
Turning around
The silence calls it out

We walk alone
Through fire and falling rain
Our hearts like stone
Chasing right after the pain
We’ve lost our way
Ignoring every sign
Too far to pray
But we still call it mine

What have we done
The world is full of fire
Where will we run
The smoke is climbing higher and higher
Why do we hide
Look at what we have done
Oh, be our guide
Look at what we’ve become

The light grows dim
Trading the truth for the lies
Hope wears thin
While doubt begins to rise
We shut the door
On the Love we used to know
And ask for more
Though mercy whispers low

What have we done
The world is full of fire
Where will we run
The smoke is climbing higher and higher
Why do we hide
Look at what we have done
Oh, be our guide
Look at what we’ve become

Hate it
Abuse it
Destroy it
Misuse it

Change from inside
Renew the mind
Change from inside
Change

Seek it find it
Don’t run and don’t hide it
We’re being made new

There’s no lead or follow stay in four walls
When it’s just bravado forget the calls
Hear it plain and loudly sitting idle
Wearing armor stoutly, unfit title

Luke warm and hidden like you might be liable

Stay in silo
Words so hollow
Thoughts are shallow
Hide your ways but I see it all

Stay in comfort
Little effort
Think what comes first
Hide your ways but I see it all

Practice without preaching, pass the burden
Ask for more but do less sure uncertain
When there’s heavy lifting, lacking toil
Privately existing, sit and spoil

Luke warm and hidden when you serve recoil

Stay in silo
Words so hollow
Thoughts are shallow
Hide your ways but I see it all

Stay in comfort
Little effort
Think what comes first
Hide your ways but I see it all

Body’s slowing
Moss is growing
Talk is cheap

Gifts are wasted
Time to face it
Take the leap

Reap no sowing
Quiet knowing
Go and do

Serving of self
Image what else
Far too few

Your hollow words

Stay in silo
Words so hollow
Thoughts are shallow
Hide your ways but I see it all

Stay in comfort
Little effort
Think what comes first
Hide your ways but I see it all

Fathers against their mothers
Sons against brothers
We collide
In our arrogance and pride

Shallow oaths pledges worthless
Did we believe You could save us
Coldest hearts
Freeze our hands to shattered parts

Prayers and praise ring hollow
Sleep for sorrow
We’ll betray You come tomorrow
Sleep for sorrow

We beg on our knees we crawl
Gluttony we would take it all
Greed consumed
Salvation can’t be assumed.

Thankless, thoughtless, insincere,
Fallen swallowed up by fear
Wages earned
Forging ahead needing to turn

Prayers and praise ring hollow
Sleep for sorrow
We’ll betray You come tomorrow
Sleep for sorrow

If you want to go fast go alone
If you want to go far can’t on your own
If you want to go forever go to the Throne

If you want to go fast go alone
If you want to go far can’t on your own
If you want to go forever go to the Throne
Sleep for sorrow

Prayers and praise ring hollow
Sleep for sorrow
We’ll betray You come tomorrow
Sleep for sorrow

Walking, sprinting, neither weary or faint
Wind and temptation, my only restraint
Moving and breathing, keeping the pace
Fighting the good fight, running the race
Running the race

Foot on the pavement, it’s coming undone
No time for stopping, follow the Son
At times restarted, I’ll go ‘til I’ve won
I’ll rest when I’m dead, But now I’ve got to run

Hurried in circles, finding my way
The narrow path, wandered astray
These steps are ordered, and don’t need retraced
Eye on the prize now, running the race
Running the race

Foot on the pavement, it’s coming undone
No time for stopping, follow the Son
At times restarted, I’ll go ‘til I’ve won
I’ll rest when I’m dead, But now I’ve got to run

You fall, you crawl
But now you’ve got to run
You stand, and stare
But now you’ve got to run

You fall (you fall), you crawl (you crawl)
But now you’ve got to run
You stand (you stand), and stare
Got to run

Objects in mirror are much closer than they seem
Glasses are caked in Vaseline
Illusions filling gaps with wish reality
Perceiving not sure what this means

Shadows they shift and dance while avoiding the light
Mistaking shapes for things they’re not
Fictions appear, distortions hide in our sight
If seeing’s believing, lies we’re taught

You cannot lose heart though this shell’s going to decay (Woooah)
Inside renewing day to day
Fixate on long term gain push through the short term pain
Vision limits, fix your gaze
What’s unseen

Foggy horizons blurring lines we try to hide
Color’s change distort the view
Speck and the plank, both can cause one to go blind
Is this mirage really true

You cannot lose heart though this shell’s going to decay (Woooah)
Inside renewing day to day
Fixate on long term gain push through the short term pain
Vision limits, fix your gaze
What’s unseen

You peek, I’m seeing
You peek, I’m seeing
You peek, I’m seeing

You peek, I’m seeing
You peek, I’m seeing
You peek, I’m seeing

You cannot lose heart though this shell’s going to decay (Woooah)
Inside renewing day to day
Fixate on long term gain push through the short term pain
Vision limits, fix your gaze
What’s unseen
What’s unseen
What’s unseen

Despising wisdom precludes instruction
Depart from fear into snares of death
Reverently fearing avoids destruction
Honor and fear with my every breath

Author come change my story
Ripped up and broken this sinful life
Jesus I’ve searched and I see Your glory
Can’t bear to look You square in the eye

Humble and careful with Father’s law
Striving to fulfill what He commands
Respecting mandates I stand in awe
How can we fear Him while scared of man

Author come change my story
Ripped up and broken this sinful life
Jesus I’ve searched and I see Your glory
Can’t bear to look You square in the eye

Author come change my story
Ripped up and broken this sinful life
Jesus I’ve searched and I see Your glory
