Guts

You’ve got some guts, I’ll give you that
The problem’s just a lack of tact
You’ve got the trust of all the pack
Oh but I see something different
The way you strut and don’t look back
When it comes to love there’s just a lack
I reach out but you attack
Oh, why don’t you just listen?
You don’t hear a word I say, you always want to run away
your karma’s in the give & take, but that won’t make the fates decide
You think yourself to be the master of your destiny
The captain of your soul it seems you’re in control
Decisive truth ain't your cup of tea
Absolutes lost somewhere at sea
“Annihilation’s the end so let it be” I disagree
You think you’ve got it figured out
the truth’s a fraud no room for doubt
Your god is what comes out your mouth
You worship your own brilliance

Don’t you dare compare yourself with someone else
Get off the shelf and write your own story
If there’s no risk there’s no glory
Don’t be afraid you’ll fall on your face.
You don’t break as easy as you think
You’ve got such resilience
Such a brilliance about you
You’re beautiful the way you are
Though those scars try to lie
And tell you that it’s not true
But you’ve got such a light you bring to the room
So fearfully assembled by the One that you resemble,
You’re a masterpiece
And when your body came together from the womb of forever
All the angels rejoiced in what the Father conceived
Cause you’re just what He was dreaming
And no matter how it’s seeming
He knows your name
And He can see through all your doubt
All your fears, your little bouts
That make you think that things will never change
So don’t you dare compare yourself to someone else
Get off the shelf and get in the story
You were made for His glory
Don’t be afraid to be who you are
It’s not to far or lofty of a goal
You’ve got such resilience
Such a brilliance about you
You’re beautiful the way you are

Jeremiah
03:04

Shut your mouth and tell me what I want to hear
We don’t want to cloud our children’s future with fear
Use your words sparingly, I’m tired of you desparingly
Telling me what you think I oughta know
Why don’t you go back inside Jeremiah?
If you don’t want to die-ah
You better learn what is good for you
If you remember Isaiah
He wouldn’t be quiet and it got him sawn in two
Why dont you go back inside?
You’re really hurting my pride
I'm tired of your negative energy, i think it stems from identity,
you think you’ve got something to say.
If you think yourself so righteous
Hear my advice it’s, “shut your mouth go and pray”
So shut your mouth and tell me what I want to hear.
Clearly you’re jealous of all of your peers.
What they say is beautiful. But your words are unusual.
Why don’t you just give it a rest?
You’ve got to much on your chest Jeremiah
No reason to cry-ah
Everything is going to be okay.
Don’t you know who we are?
Trouble’s sure to be far
Hasn’t the debt already been paid?
Take off your cynical shades
Your words are hurting like blades
But tell me what’s the reason, swift & swallow know their season
But men don’t know the judgment of the Lord
You had me for a minute, but you really oughta quit it
Your doom and gloom is making me bored
Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord. I am weary of holding it in
Why do the treachorous seem to be so happy to me, happy to me?
You have planted them they have taken root
They grow, yes, they bear fruit.
You are near in their mouth but far from their mind
You are just when You judge it’s just a matter of time
"Hopeless!" They shout are the words from your mouth
I’ll just do my own thing
But I won’t be the one that you answer to at the coming of the King

Love Takes Over
03:35
|

Every weight rolls off my shoulders
When I let go and love takes over
I remember a time when my heart was colder
But You won’t quench the wick that smolders
And all of Your heart’s desires
Are the fuel that feeds this fire
Now every weight rolls off my shoulders
When I let go and love takes over
I have no memory before today
Because my life has passed away
The man I was before the tide
Washed me to the other side
And pulled out in the undertow all the world I used to know
And what remains on this new shore?
This rapturous love of Yours
My heart was empty yet heavy as stone
I was an island I was all alone
My life was fading and all of my bones groaned
I was frozen before You came along
Now it is running up & down my spine
I’m discontent with all that I can’t describe
It’s like I’m breathing for the first time
Like what was broken suddenly came alive
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder
But I have searched the whole world over
Yes I have searched and I can’t find
Another One that’s so sublime
You’re taking over all of me
Still I have never felt so free
Now every weight rolls off my shoulders
When I let go and love takes over
