life works very mysterious ways...

you make me wonder, reconsider life
i think about how you changed my life, how you took a hold of it and flipped it
flipped it upside down and inside-out
boys are dumb.

"and our faces crumble at the shatter of a glass heart when the cold look you throw at us hits"

dangerous (the acclaim)

There is a passion stirring
In the hearts of Your people
There is a whisper growing
And its crying to be heard

Break the chains that bind us
Lord remind us
That we are marked
By the blood of our King

Our God is holy
He is victorious
Our God is mighty
Our God is dangerous

We come boldly
To Your throne
We surrender
To You and You alone

The world cannot hate us
For we are too much its own
Oh Lord make us dangerous

Shatter us with Your glory
Fill us anew
We will not be held back
Because all we want is You

tears of the saints (leeland)

There are many prodigal songs
On our city streets they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
People's hopes have fallen to the ground
From failures

This is an emergency

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We're crying for them come back home
We're crying for them come back home
And all Your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In this state of desperation
For Your glory

This is an emergency

Sinner, reach out your hands
Children in Christ you stand
Sinner, reach out your hands
Children in Christ you stand

And all Your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

tears flow freely/for i am a new man.

stumbling to the alter
falling to my knees


comunion's been recognized and swallowed whole
tears flow freely
for i am a new man.
the hands of God's children sharing His power
tears flow freely
for i am a new man.

in front of the music
shouting His presence
in front of all to see
i give myself up to Him

the tears flow freely
for i am a new man.

the prayers were heard
and the questions answered
give me His grace
i gave Him my pride
i gave Him my anger
i gave Him my sadness
give me His grace

participation...
is that so scary to ask?

the tears flow freely
for i am a new man.
stumbling to the alter
falling on my knees


hand in hand with the one i need.

tonight, i gave it up.
