Song Inside
04:15

Spirit like a dove
You were brooding up above
The nest of nothingness
Dreaming melodies
That would bring us to our knees
And hold the worlds together
That song’s still humming
It’s running
Like power through a line
It’s ringing, it’s singing
Through every starry night
It’s moving, it’s wooing,
Your melody of light
I want to harmonize
There is a song inside of me
A frozen stream
Lord bring your heat
Let it run to the sea
Back when I was clay
In my mama’s womb you gave me
A burning in my belly
A longing to be known
A sickness for my home
I know that I ain’t from here
I’m from a heavenly country
Where everything is right
Where Love lights the center
There never dawns a night
Until it breaks through here
I’ll sing with all my might
I want to glorify
There is a song inside of me
A frozen stream
Lord bring your heat
Let it run to the sea
There is a David in this stone
Michelangelo, carve away my soul
Til I’m your masterpiece
There’s a song inside everyone
Pulsing like the sun
It’s the melody you’re made for
You gotta wait, wait, wait for it
Wait upon the lord
Wait when you wanna run
Though the night may be long
The morning will come

Wounded Boy

Wounded boy
Who’s hiding in my heart
Come on out
Stop shouting from the dark
See a got a little confused
Thought you were the accuser
But you were the accused
Thought you were the abuser
But you were the abused
I thought I could reform you
Through force and punishment
But the only thing that formed
Was an angry little kid
I forgive my enemy
Run to embrace the prodigal me
Lord, you let them come
So I will not reject the child you love
Wounded boy
My son, my flesh and blood
Your hearts gets scars
While daddy learns to love
I’m gonna speak a little truth now
You are not the things you’re doing
I am not the things I’ve done
We are sons together
Loved with a fiery love
The more that we receive it
The more that we can give
We’ll be the wounded healers
Serving the broken bread
I forgive my enemy
Run to embrace the one in front of me
Lord, you let them come
So I will not reject the child you love
You cannot put to death
Flesh by flesh, fear by punishment
Only by the Spirit…
If you don’t resist
I won’t resist

Community
03:52

God is a house
The kind when you walk in
The smell of fresh baked bread
Begins to melt down your defense
There on the couch
A soul can be at ease
Gone the pretense and the fear
That you’ll be asked to leave
I will make my home in you
Make your home in me
O sweet Community
I am a house
In need of tender care
By someone unafraid
To count the cost of character
Someone with time
Someone with skill and means
Someone with blood and sweat
And tears enough
To make it his dream
You’re a community in yourself
You don’t need nobody else
You’ve always had enough
You just wanted to share the love

Both Alive

My world is still in darkness
On the first day of the week
The decay of heart has started
The smell of death in me
The stone has rolled away
But there is nothing here to see
Tell me where you laid him
The body of my Lord
Tell me where you laid the one
Who loved me at my worst
I need to lay to rest
This hope that seemed so sure
…what was that?
When you said my name
I knew it was you
Even though you don’t
Look like you used to
In the garden of my heart
You say that single word
And I know we’re both alive
My feet they took to running
I don’t think I touched the ground
Field and trees were laughing
Sparrows singing out
A brand new hallelujah
A different kind of song
Creation now exhaled out the breath
It held in since the fall
He told me not to touch him
He told me not to cling
He said it would be better
Much better than we had dreamed
He has to fly away
So he can give us something more
We will be the body I was looking for
I’ve seen… I’ve seen… I see
When he said my name
I knew it was true
Even though he don’t
Look like he used to
In the garden of my heart
He says a single word
And I know we’re both...
Alive
You are resurrection
You are the life
You are the assurance that we’ll never die
And never be alone
And never be without
And never go through anything
You can’t craft into a crown
Our scars your glory
Your scars our light
That illuminate the days
When the sun won’t rise
We’ll raise a cup of worship
To the ever-living King
Who died, who rose, who raises up
We sing

End of the Age
04:56
|

|
Not as the world gives
See my peace is built to last
There will be trouble
You might feel like I have left
Til the end of the age,
I will be with you always
Til you pass through the grave
I will be with you always
Have no doubt about where I will be
I’ll be with you
Will you be with me
Hold to the promise
It will be better if I go
Cause I walked beside you
But now I’m making you my home
I have never left you
I will never leave
My presence is available
Oh just receive
I have never left
I will never leave
In your darkest hour
In your driest season

Dry Bones
04:42
|

Been this way for so long
Losing faith that it can change
Who’d have thought that you could
Get addicted to the shame
When it pours day after day
You start to normalize the rain
In the cracks of my soul
That haven’t seen the light
Wild thoughts like animals
Are known to breed and hide
When I lie down in my bed
They try to drag me to the night
But I ain’t gonna lie down and take it
Ain’t gonna walk out and fake it
I will bow down and raise a song
Til these dry bones wake
By the breath of God
I can see it in my kids
The inherited mistakes
Always crouching at my door
The lie that it’s too late
Some impossible ideal
Wants me to be its slave
I ain’t gonna lie down and take it
Ain’t gonna walk out and fake it
I will rise up and raise a song
Til these dry bones dance
By the breath of God
I was pushed hard
I was falling down
In my distress
I cried out
The Lord heard my call
He set me free
God’s on my side
Fear get behind me
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
I’m gonna find the joy in it

Adonai

Adonai
In desperation, Lord
You heard my cry
When storms roll in
You are my place to hide
I’m safe inside
Adonai
No one but you
Can truly satisfy
All other fountains
Always end up dry
You know I’ve tried
Adonai
You are my life, my death
You are my energy and my rest
You are my hunger and my bread... Jesus
You are the door, the road
You are the way we’re made to go
Walking in you I’m at home
Adonai
The blessing that I seek
Is in Your eyes
My heart is restless
Til I’m by Your side
Help me abide
Master, Savior, humble Leader
I’m the student you’re the Teacher
I will give you my attention
When I drift bring me to my senses

Clinging
05:15
|

|
Thought I knew what you were doing
That I heard what you said
We were clinging to the promise
You knew we were
Now the promise is dead
We were rolling along
Blue skies, open road
Feeling the wind
Your heart so close
This was the moment
We waited for
Now here we are
With you Lord
Then the storm rolled up
From behind
It took us by
Surprise
The rain came in
The brakes went out
We were spinning...
I got no control
I guess I never did
It’s just now I know
And I’m feeling it
But I ain’t gonna hide from you
Gonna look you in the eyes
Not through
I’m done asking why
I just want to know
You’re crying with me
Saying my name
Sharing my pain
Catching the tears
To make a redemption rain

This Is My Prayer
03:02
|
|||
|
This is my prayer
That you be filled with power
Not the power to do
All that needs to be done
That’ll come, that’ll come
But the power to know
In the depths of your soul
What it is to be known
Really known and loved
By the Father through the Son
Such knowledge is too much
May your heart be like a tree
Rooted in this mystery
‘Til you overflow with God

Love & War & The Sea In Between
by Josh Garrels
Josh is a top 5 favorite of mine. When he sings you believe him. Love & War is like a great film: huge themes mixed with a deep and honest personal spiritual journey. It's the best album of 2011.
