FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE SEALED SHUT DOORS
We cry because we’re older
Which means nearer to the end
Yet we rush and want the next big thing to happen
But it’s now, today,
Take that air inside your lungs
It’s now today that you’re living
Breathe it in enjoy
Cause it will be gone someday
Cause we’ll go away to eternity..
Back in Rome, the birds are flying in herds
They display the grace and majesty of our Lord
And so we’ll go, fly up so high
To the open sky, to meet our Savior, to meet our Lord
But it’s now, today,
Take that air inside your lungs
It’s now today that you’re living
Breathe it in enjoy
Cause it will be gone someday
Cause we’ll go away to eternal places..
We will go away to the other side now
But it’s now
The future looks bright in a hour, a minute,
We just have to live it now today
O Enjoy today
There can be joy today
Time is ticking can’t you stop and listen
Time is ticking won’t you stop- enjoy what’s sacred
Time is ticking won’t you stop and listen
Time is ticking won’t you stop and listen
Wooaaahhh…

I'm sorry for the way my self reared up
enough to pummel you down
careless words thrown around like a
blind-folded-bullet-fest, bulldozing you down
'cause I don't wanna care what you think
but I really do care what you think
but I don't want what you think
to affect me as much as it does
I don't want to be on the team
as that death enemy
fighting a war so that I can see
how good I look to me
pushing around wanting to be seen
stepping on whoever gets in front of me
well, I want to see myself rise high
-it's so empty!

your grace

you say that you will fill me
but sometimes I don't really know
the way to grab a hold of you
and the good things that you say go with
but I want you to fill me
I give up trying on my own
it's you, only you Jesus,
that can make me completely whole
It's your grace
your mercy
your promises to me
Your grace is poured out
through the love I receive
on all that is given, is given to me
I feel the warmth of the sun
I see your face as I meet
the people you love
oh your grace is so great
your grace, your mercy
your promises to me
you continue to love whether I do or not
if my faith is so strong or if you I've forgot
you continue to love this old wandering heart that is mine
and it's not what I do, oh your grace is divine
your grace, your mercy, your promises to me

there's a baby growing inside me
the divine kicking my insides
a nothing and nobody they say that I am
but God, oh God lives inside me
and he's growing and letting me know him
emmanuel inside this vessel
and this nine month span of my life on earth
I'll die to myself to give you your birth
O Glory in this wretched body!
