Waiting

Verse 1
I see You waiting
Waiting on me still
Waiting on me still
But wait, but wait…
I’m not compliant
I’m not compliant to Your Will
I’d rather die than have to kill
My hate, my hate
Of being out of control! 


Chorus 1
I wanna believe that
It’s all about me and
Finding out what I think I need


Verse 2
I said I'd follow
I said I'd follow to no end
And on Your grace I would depend...
Always, always
But when it comes to pressure,
I've always wound up givin in
[I] forget about You to please them
I caved and I cave
And now I'm out of control!

Chorus 2
I wanna believe that
There's still hope for me and
God I can do something of use!
I wanna believe that
It’s not about me and
God it’s cuz You wait patiently
(Please break through to me!)
Bridge
When will I stop all this?
I’ll come around soon!
I keep on promising it to You!

End Chorus
I now can see that
It’s not about me and
I am not my own!
I wanna believe that
It’s not about me and
God it’s cuz You wait so patiently

Hello Jesus

Verse 1
Hello Jesus
Here I am, just a sinner
And I’ve been thinking about
This cold, bitter winter
That has been
In my heart, in my soul, in my mind
I’ve been thinking all the time
Thinking all the time

Pre Chorus 1
Well how’d I get here (?)
In this corner that built;
Chained in these shackles
That I forged from guilt

Chorus
Well it’s good to know
That I’m alone
On the matter, the matter of being alone
And it’s nice to find
You here by my side
Even when my flesh ain’t listening

Verse 2
Hello Father, here I am Your prodigal son
And I’ve been thinking about all of the things I’ve done
Against Your name
Still somehow You remain, saying you love me
Yet I’m feeling so ashamed, so ashamed
But why do I feel ashamed?

Pre Chorus
Oh how’d I get here (?)
In Your love and grace
Wrapped in Your mercy
Saved from my old ways

Chorus
And it’s good to know
That I’m alone
On the matter, the matter of being alone
And it’s nice to find
You here by my side
Even when my flesh ain’t listening

Agapé Love

Verse 1
That girl with ‘Agapé’ on her right wrist
Got me in a bind and she don’t know it
And if she does, that’s quite a shame
Though it’s a crush, it’s not a game
When I say, when I say

Pre-Chorus
I’m searching for Agapé
And it is found in Christ
His love’s more than sufficient
And at the same time
She’s hidden in Him now
And what’d I say I’m searchin out?

Chorus
Agapé love (4x)

Verse 2
Seeking Him more as I go on, day by day
It’s my purpose, pleasure, life in every way
Oh I wish I could use this reasoning:
If her heart’s His and I know the King
Then we may be much closer than I thought

Pre-Chorus
I’m searching for Agapé
Thank God it’s found in Christ
His love’s more than sufficient
And at the same time
She’s hidden in Him now
And what’d I say I’m searchin out?

Chorus
Agapé love (4x)

Bridge
I want that love, I need that love
I’m seekin’ out that love
I want that love, I need that love
Seekin’ out that love!
And it’s only found in Christ
Oh and you’re there
At the very same time

Chorus
Agapé love (4x)
Come on now, sing it with me!
Agapé love (2x)

Letting You Go

Verse 1
Wishin’ I’d said all the words in my head to you now
Now I’m mulling o’er ‘what ifs’ and dwelling too long
On my hopes of the sound of music to your ears
From my earnest heart, to you endeared

Chorus
Oh, letting you go shouldn’t be so hard
Since I never held you
And now I must seem, I must seem like a draft
Something to revise or just a wind blowing by
Oh but letting me go, I wish it weren’t so easy for you

Verse 2
All of my hopes and my fears intertwine as you turn, they are tied up
Into a knot in the pit of my stomach, I choke and I find
That if confidence is king­- then you’ve overthrown its reign in me

Chorus
Oh but letting you go shouldn’t be so hard
Since I never held you
And now I must seem, I must seem like a draft
Something to revise or just a wind blowing by
Oh but letting me go, I wish it weren’t so easy for you

Bridge
I’ve only myself to blame
For giving my heart away
To someone I don’t know
I guess I’m a fool
For being a fool for you

End Chorus
Oh, letting you go shouldn’t be this hard
Since I barely know you
And now I just seem, I seem like a draft
Something to revise; Am I a wind blowing by?
Oh letting me go, I wish it weren’t so easy for you

Fault Line

Intro Chorus
Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It all went downhill
Oh and it’s where
We’ll part ways still

Verse 1
Yeah, I’ll tell you the truth
About the lies that I’ve told to you
My pride it blinds me like a light
So what’s there to shed
Other than our tearful cries?

Chorus
Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It all went downhill
Oh and it’s where
We’ll part ways still

Verse 2
Breaking ground
But ground’s breakin’ fast
Much faster than we can last
So can we move on elsewhere?
Or do we only move on
Cuz we fall down again?


Chorus
Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It all went downhill
Oh and it’s where
We’ll part ways still

Bridge
Oh we need a reallocation
Of our words in this situation
They’ve pulled us away
Like tectonic plates and
I need you, too!
I need you to…

Chorus
Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It all went downhill
Oh and it’s where
We’ll part ways still

End Chorus
Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It’s all gone downhill
Oh but let’s not part ways here still

Porch Lights (Make No Mistake)

Intro
In your eyes fire resides
Burning me on the inside
Virulent, it gets under my skin
And I don’t know why
I can’t get you
Out of the confines of my mind
In the dimmest corners you reside

Verse 1
There’s a porch light
Way off in the distance,
And I realize
Darkness is our condition.
Can you take me there (?)
Where I can finally see
All the people behind facades,
Drinking themselves to sleep

Chorus 1
And I say, “Make no mistake,
I have been there.
Make no mistake,
It’ll end your life.
I know I just wanna save you
But you’ve got to make the choice to survive
Verse 2
Now arriving,
I see myself again.
But it’s different,
My perspective, it starts to change.
This kind beacon and
It’s ‘illuminated’
Start a’changing and I’m wondering
Where’s the right porch to stay?

Chorus 2
And I say, “Make no mistake,
It will kill you.
Make no mistake,
It’ll end your life.
Through deceit, confusion, false religion,
There is still time to see the bright light.”

Chorus 1
And I say, “Make no mistake,
It will kill you.
Make no mistake,
It’ll end your life.
I know I just wanna save you,
But you’ve got to make the choice to survive

Try to Picture Perfect

Verse 1
Door closed, oh it never felt so good
Lies, sin and failures- they all sound like you
What is this emotion but a house built on sand
There goes the backburner again
It’s boiling over, it’s boiling over
Whoa, watch it overflow

Chorus
And I can’t be sure
So I’ll keep on this road
Cuz everything looks just like you
Just like you, boy

Verse 2
Cut frames; leave the carvings on the floor
Try to picture perfect but you can’t anymore
So who are these figures, traipsing around?
Will they find purpose or will they just drown
In a sea of our confusion
Whoa, I hope it ain’t so

Chorus
And I can’t be sure
So I’ll keep on this road
Cuz everything looks just like you
Just like you, boy

End Chorus
And I want to be sure
So I’ll keep on this road
Cuz everything else looks just like me
Just like me, just like me (the boy)
Just like me, it looks like me, just like me
But I wanna look like You, just like You
Just like You (God)!
