Heaven Sakes
03:09
|
|||
I feel foolish and cold
I know
I've run too far on my own
I know
Youre distant and I know why
Its not because You moved
I've drunk myself way past dry
and cant get back to You
Self-sufficiency cant last
Come back
I miss what we had
Come back
For heaven sakes please take me home
Im just looking for rest for these weary bones
For Heaven sakes please take me home
Because I am past running from all I've known

Gomer
02:08
|
|||
My soul cant sing in its current state
and my eyes havent been dry in 40 days
everyone and everything brings me to tears
and I dont know how I so quickly got here
I dont know what You sound like no more
and I cant tell who I'm living for
I'm embarrassed and ashamed that I've strayed far away
but theres comfort in knowing
You want to stay
I am Gomer I am Israel
lonely and scared
Keep running and breaking
but Youre always right there
when I'm lying on the ground and cannot move
I will call to You

Convince my soul
04:01
|
|||
I'm just trying to convince my soul to bless the Lord
I'm just trying to feel something
but all I feel is cold
Cloaked in metaphors
God trapped in just 4 chords
it feels fake
Youre bigger than we give you credit for
Because syllables dont save
And I'm supposed to sing 'it is well'
but I'm wide awake the night before
and I'm trying to save myself
so is it well
I'm just trying to convince my hands to be lifted high
I'm just trying to stay here
I'm fainting and I cant lie
all these hallelujahs are empty/all these hallelujahs are empty/
if youre facedown crying
trying to find comfort in the words/youve always said/but never heard

I refuse
02:39
|
|||
Your hands are scarred,my arms are still bleeding
they're self-inflicted wounds
I treat You as well as I treat me
But I'll stay here on my face and will not move
'cause at this rate, I'm gonna die
before I get back to You
wash me clean if You even want me
but either way, I refuse to move
They say my body is a temple
but the foundation's uneven
the windows got smashed and everyone's leaving
But I'll stay here on my face and will not move
'cause at this rate, I'm gonna die
before I get back to You
wash me clean if You even want me
but I refuse, I refuse to move

Battle cry
03:10
|
|||
He draws me in, calling soft and sweet
He says 'sunlight becomes you
and nightmares dont keep'
I mean my words when I say
my tongue will speak and my heart will sing
no other name
Of all the times I loved and lost
You were hanging there on the cross
You could have gone home
but You stayed and I dont know why
but 'it is finished' is a battle cry
He lays me down
in pastures soft and green
We're finally face to face
and my body's groanings cease
In this world where only the loud survive
Youve always proved, tried and true
that whispering constant inside
