1. Alone
Like a single grain of sand moving with the tide
No one knows I'm here wouldn't matter if I died
Out of control lost on my way searching and dying more each day
Bridge
Trying as hard as I can
Won't someone hold out their hand
I feel so strange in this land
But if you ask me I'm fine
Chorus
I can't go on
I've always had to be by myself
I'm so alone
I just need somebody's help (X2)
Time is running out tired of not having rest
Can't go on like this forever maybe death is best
Tell me what it's all about, you love me, well that I really doubt
Told me a story of a man with scars in His feet and hands
Can take me away from this land
But can He really save me
2. Felt
My soul finds rest in God alone
He is my rock, my salvation, my fortress,
I'll never be shaken my hope comes from Him
You are my God my soul thirsts for You in a land where there's no water
Your love's better than my life and I will praise You as long as I live
Chorus
It's not who I am but who lives inside of me
That gives me power to stand and the faith to believe
That I can walk in the fire and lay my back on the nails
Hang myself on my cross and feel what He felt
I FEEL
In Your name I lift my hands with singing lips my mouth will praise you
On my bed I remember You
I think of You all night
My soul clings to You, You're my help Your right hand upholds me
They who seek my life will be destroyed,
become food for dogs while I rejoice in God
3. Mothman
The thorns crush my spine send them to the swine
I choke the pleasure and I drown in dust
All my cares are bones of rust
Chorus
Wash me, Cleanse me, Heal me, Make me a mothman
Wash me, Cleanse me, Heal me, Make me a man
Touch your garments just for fun
I am a match unto the sun
I want to fly into Your light
I want to fly into Your light
4. Crawl Away
Burn a candle by my bed, sleep won't visit me tonight
Images inside my head don't reflect the light inside
Deceiver whispers my name, tries to crawl up by my side
Lord deliver me, don't leave me alone tonight
Bridge
It is He who's in me that's greater than he that's in the world
The struggle's not with me, the battle belongs to the Lord
Chorus
Crawl away, I confess that I'm less than a righteous man You accuse,
He forgives, as I live in a wanderer's land
Crawl away, I confess that I'm less than a righteous man
Crawl away
Try to make me fall only builds my faith in Christ
My knee hits the ground, reveals the secret I can't hide
Took the life from you, took the keys right from your hands
Try to compare Him, but you are subject to the Lamb
5. One Drop
I see the empty heart
I feel the bondage chain
I touch the loneliness
I know the truth of pain
It's not always what it seems to be
I never thought they'd get a hold of me
Bridge
Unanswered questions, a faithless prayer, am I really asking,
or am I just too scared to give away the only thing that separates Your love from me,
help me take my beam away to where I know that I can see...
I hate the evil sin I know what lies within
Sometimes I think that I could never change,
hold on to a world that seems so strange
Chorus
One drop of blood is all it takes to take my sin away
and make me whole again
6. Stronghold
Alone again behind the locked door
You're not going out to face the world anymore
Lost inside the loneliness again
You're wondering where true love has been
Hiding behind the counterfeit mask
You're thinking of how the happiness won't last
The emptiness has filled the life inside
Hoping that there is a guiding light
Chorus
Oh Jesus, there's nothing He won't do
He'll take the pain away to help you through
Oh Jesus, can take you from the cold
His love is the world's stronghold
Knowing the truth is waiting in the dark
You're trying to hide the scars from the world's mark
On your knees asking once again
Oh He's looking down ready to come in
7. Praze You Lord
Praise you Lord, You are my God
Praise you Lord, You are my King
And I will bless You with all of my heart You are worthy
And I will praise You all of my life
throughout eternity throughout eternity
8. Presence
9. Sorry
Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be Your name
Forgive me, Oh sweet Jesus
'cause I turned away from You and I'm sorry
Chorus
You've always been by my side
You bring me back in your arms
You hold me tight
Thanks Dad for not leaving
10. Take Me
Lying stagnant, lost, but found never gaining enough ground
Salvation from prayer on my knees but I can't take the monotony
Where else could I go to the one that I know I need to go farther if it's no bother
Take me higher (X3)
Step by step, just lead me on the path that I've been on so long
Show me ways that I can grow 'cause I need to be so close
11. Why
Death comes by sacred vision not something in the night
Friends dying in crash collision
Hide the cross to be polite
Hand of death in accusation from the body trapped in the box
From where'd the stains on my palm come
Say a prayer as time we mock
Bridge
Black curtains fall on an empty soul
While I stand back and watch the tears roll
Chorus
Why didn't I tell you when I had the chance to tell you
Why didn't I show you I wish I could go back to show you
Why
Field of dreams in desolation
The memories of wasted time
Sea of hope drowned in his coffin
Depending on my choice of mind
Until my spirit passes through the realm of immortality
I won't know what lies for you the choice you made for eternity
12. Jeckyl & Hyde
My nature's sinful from my birth and I have trouble finding my worth
My mind is filled with evil thoughts
and I forget everything that I was taught
I keep on going back to my ways
I live to please myself and stay away
Caught up in pride and selfishness
I will give nothing more and nothing less
Chorus
Inside my heart I open up and let Him in
Inside my heart I find His love and that there is
THE OTHER SIDE OF ME
It seems I fall and get back in line
I know I can't make up the wasted time
My words lash out and kill my prey
And then I can't take back the words I say
13. Amazing Grace Blues
14. Going Home
The sky grows black as the earth stands still
And clouds roll back when the Son is revealed
Chorus
I see Jesus, coming in the Eastern sky to bring His children home
I see Jesus, coming in the Eastern sky I'm going home.
Cars collide and people die, planes fall from the sky
The graves begin to split and seas open wide
15. Mercy
Have mercy on me Oh God according to Your love
Cleanse me from my iniquity wash me from my sin
Bridge
Against You only have I done this sin and worked this evil in Your sight
Take me back where I can be whole again
'cause all I want Oh Lord is to be in Your light
Chorus
Because Your love, it gives new life to me
The more I have of You, the more that I can believe that Your love,
it can set me free
Oh Lord I know I need Your grace and mercy
Have mercy on me
Oh God according to Your love
Help me to see more of You
Oh Jesus so I can see less of me
