song of the Steadfast
I hold You in my heart,
but have kept You in my teeth.

Heaven in Stained Glass
03:19
|
|||
In death, are You there?
In grief, do You ache too?
Its taking root like a sickness.
And I can't let it go.
Sanctified.
I wonder if You're still here,
in between the quiet moments,
in between the lonely years.
There was a disease in my heart,
and I've ached for years.
I wonder if You're still here.

A Better Love
03:01
|
|||
Living among dust and wildfire.
Don't close your eyes.
Don't forget these times.
I want better for you
and to be near you.
My heart aches,
but it won't change the hurt you feel.
How do I love you better?

The Cleansing
03:51
|
|||
This love isn't wasted
with You at the center.
Because it was paid in blood.
It's Your blood I am cleansed in.
It's the bloodshed I have not earned.
I lay at Your feet.

Night Palace
03:59
|
|||
month of endless nights.
eyes fixed on the ceiling.
thinking back on warm times
of when i said i loved you
i knew i meant it
what fills my head in your absence?
do i care for my own self?
can i keep living in this?
i'm not so sure anymore.
i just want to know you before my time is up.

I Say "No"
03:02
|
|||
Some people say
"Arise! Arise! Arise! Live friend live!"
I say: "Die."
I say: "Shade yourself."
I say: "Shine what precious light you have into caves
And when it dies out, stay in there"
I say "find life where you foolishly saw graves."
Some people say to "Try and try and try!
Fight and save yourself!"
I say: "Give"
I say "Send them off."
I say "Shed whatever husk if you are ripe
And if you're not, be fragrant then"
I say: "Give, no matter how it hurts, give in!"
Some people say "The sky! The sky! The sky!
Have you noticed it?"
I close my eyes, I say nothing now
There's a ringing in my ears that's faint and high
And when I listen close to it, it says "..."

I Am Dust, Not Divine
01:43
|
|||
Year of blue.
Something's not right in my head,
Something's not right in my heart.
Bathed in light, You know my frame.
I am only dust.
|

You Are
00:38
|
|
||
You are.
You are Steadfast.
You are Consistent.
You are Patient.
You are Good.
You are Sufficient.
You are Provision.
You are True.
You are my Portion.
You are everything I lack.
I am no one.
I am nothing,
but Yours.

Working Through It
03:17
|
|
||
when time and light expose my wounds?
will you hate what you see?
or will you comfort me?
please don't go.
i'm broken just like you.
i'm tired like you.
and i'm lonely like I've been before,
but how many more years?
I've got love to give in this life,
but I can't take it with me.
I know
Brief and worthwhile.
Then you opened the door.

Behind These Eyes
01:45
|
|||
Say it.
The words:
"I'm alone and you're a memory."
This love for you will never leave my eyes.

O'Death
05:10
|
|||
What is this that I cant see?
With ice cold hands taking hold of me?
I am death, none can excel.
I'll open the door to Heaven or Hell.
Oh death,
Please spare me just another year.
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw so you cannot talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour come and go with me
"O Death", someone would say
"Couldn't you call some other day?"
God's children prayed, the preacher preached.
Time and mercy are out of your reach.
Oh death,
Please spare me just another year.
My mother come to my bed.
Placed a cold towel upon my head.
My head is warm, my feet are cold.
Death is moving upon my soul.
Oh death,
Please spare me just another year.
Oh death, please consider my age.
Please don't take me at this stage.
My wealth is all at your command.
If you will move your icy hand.
Oh death,
Please spare me just another year.

Ego Wounded Self
03:50
|
|
||
Please forgive me
for the nights I've spent so selfishly,
in a tomb of self-reproach.
Please forgive me
I've abandoned my past self.
I've been laid low.
Ego wounded self.
Keep me there.
|

|
|||
song of the Steadfast.
I hold You in my heart,
in moments of grief,
moments of loss,
but I no longer keep Your gospel behind my teeth.
