1. Paralysis
2. Your Beauty Divine
Tenderness
I feel Your tenderness
Like fresh raindrops fulfilling my needs
Source of pleasure
You are the only One to satisfy my inmost yearning
The One who knows me
More than anyone, I'm transparent before Your eyes
The love You give me
You prove it constantly, I can't deny Your radiant love
Release Your love in me
Forever
Restore Your love in me
Faithful Father
Teach me how to avoid stumbling through live
Change me once again
Reveal Your presence, diminish my ego
Draw me closer
Let me taste Your Beauty Divine
Into Your fathom
Clease my eyes so I can see Your trusting love's perfection
Let my surroundings sense Your atmosphere
I'm weary of waiting for love to shine right through me
I wish to lay down my life and serve like You showed me
Forgive me Father, for being cynical in all ways
3. Shadow of Death
Running scared
Fighting for your life
Swords are drawn
'Midst the battle strife
You feel your life slip away
Limbs grow numb
Your flesh starts to burn
Wounds grow deep
Slowly you discern
Your life blood will drain away
The sands of time
Drain from the hourglass
Your life thread
Fraying in your grasp
The gates of death draweth nigh
Morning dawns
The sun begins to rise
Blood and sweat
Cloud your weary eyes
Straining to view your cruel foe
Gripping fear
No one can be seen
Fighting air
Yet your wounds bleed real
You fight the Shadow of Death
Distant form, drawing into sight
A man draws near
With no armor for the fight
Death thrusts the sword in His sight
Hope has gone
Surely you must die
Suddenly
Through the blackened sky
He rises and conquers death
We must die
Our sins will bring us death
At the end of time
Jesus Christ
Death no longer reigns
Human sacrifice
We must die
Our sins will bring us death
At the end of time
Jesus Christ
Death no longer reigns
Human sacrifice
4. Human Frailtie's Grave
The human frailtie's grave
A life worn out by endless reflections
Has shattered every single last hope of rising again
Has defied Your advise and counseling
The sinful nature causes a weak discipline
And drags me to the human frailtie's grave
Self inflicted wounds
Innumerable false steps
Unforgivable mistakes repeated to a frightening agree
Gradually growing conscious of the habit-forming addiction
Through me all actions fail
The human weaknesses
Are once again at force
In unrecognizable shapes
New structures each time
Fragile symptoms constantly show new characteristic sides
I myself am weak, am nothing
Uncontrolled line of thought and color my manners
I know there is more to reach for
I know where strength is found
The overflowing, everylasting source
Within You my maker
With You by my side
The safely directly journey
In me, around me, Your presence
Enriches, creates, gives life
You offer completeness
You are hope
