The Lost World

The Lost World

We have all gone astray - We have shunned the Lord
Looking for truth in so many different places
We have all gone our own way, though his spirit poured
We get confronted by so many different faces

Who has believed Him?
Who has seen the Light of Life?
By His wounds we are healed,
For our peace, He was crucified

And as I wander through the lost world
I see so little hope, such little faith
As I wander through the lost world, I know
I'll never find my home if I'm without Your grace

Masquerade, lack of hope - place it in a lie
There's got to be something more to this life
Shut the door, close the mind - changing like the tide
There's no such thing as the eternal high

Who has believed Him? Led like a lamb to the slaughter
Oppressed and afflicted, He poured out His life unto death

And as I wander through the lost world
I see so little hope, such little faith
As I wander through the lost world, I know
I'll never find my home if I'm without Your grace

Come all who are thirsty, drink and you will see
For the god of this generation, has made us blind!

Who has believed Him?
Who has seen the Light of Life?
By His wounds we are healed,
For the punishment that brought us peace - He was crucified!

Sustain Me

another old one that Lance and I wrote. this was actually a really good song...

Sustain Me

O wash me, O Lord
Cleanse me of this guilt
Let me hold on again
Cause I admit my shameful deeds

Only Your power could sustain me
Only Your love could mend my brokenness
Only Your grace could save me
Only Your grace could put my soul to rest

I come to you on bended knee
My face is to the ground
I'm finding you despite all of this
Now I long to lift Your holy name

Only Your power could sustain me
Only Your love could mend my brokenness
Only Your grace could save me
Only Your grace could put my soul to rest

Send Your forgiveness
Let it reign down on me
Shower me with Your love
Fulfill my every need

Only Your power could sustain me
Only Your love could mend my brokenness
Only Your grace could save me
Only Your grace could put my soul to rest

I'm washed
I'm cleansed
I'm filled
I breathe again
I believe
I am free
I will live
Eternally

My Will Be A Dead Man

My Will Be A Dead Man

There comes a time
When I must murder my will
I cry out to God –
RETURN, RETURN, RETURN
Take from me this struggle
God, my will be a dead man

On this day, on this profession
On Your sacrifice, on Your Son
With this bloody Messiah
Show me Your sorrow
Illuminate my eyes with Your love
Paint this landscape with Your blood

I’m still learning what it’s like to be free
It can no longer be me against me
How I must be consumed for the sake of You
This will be my legacy - let it take all of me
Show me who I am in the depths of Spirit and truth
Cause I've seen the face of redemption; I know it's You

Never Mine: A Song of Redemption

I'm tired, can't keep focus anymore
I resisted, grabbed the reins and took control
It's brought me, nothing but wasted time
Leaving me alone and incomplete

Take this
My soul, My life
Take this
My all, it was never mine

I failed, threw it all way, but
You salvaged the broken, You made me whole
Now I wash my hands of my own existence
And I lay it at your feet...

Take this
My soul, My life
Take this
My all, it was never mine

This is my cry for freedom
This is my song of redemption
Because my heart isn't pure
And this could be my last shot at love...

=====================================

most of this was a song from my old band - Simplex Method. I can't remember who was the primary write (though it was probably Lance), however I redid some of it and also contributed at its inception back in the day.
