I cling to the veil to no avail without fail
Reaching for the God if Israel in man's jail
Wailing on my knees and hands to draw the curtain and stand
Thank God for bloody feet and pierced hands

Chorus
I am new I am am new
And He says of me is true
I am new

I hold to the law to stop the fall
To dro the ball to fix it all
Falling on my hands and knees if these walls could talk they'd scream
Release him, O God release me

Chorus

I lay by the grave to save to un-enslave
To make a rich man out of a nave but you saved me
O Jesus you raised me
How couild I ever return
To things that you told me would burn
When will I ever learn That I

Chorus

How could you see what you see and not totally
Want to discontinue me for all eternity and then some
It bothers me so that I could be so
Completely unaffected when connected to the holy one
And so I sit here and stare at this page and wonder
At what age it will become clear to me
So for now I am clueless to how you do this
And how you move this spirit in me

I'm going Your way
Even though I cannot see in front of me
I'm going Your way
Even though I feel lost at sea

How could your favor be the flavor I savor
When the fruits of my labor are so unfavorable
And old pages are setting the stages for something outrageous
A man who can save all our souls
And you know and you know

I'm going Your way
Even though I cannot see in front of me
I'm going Your way
Even though I feel lost at sea

Ride the wave, wave goodbye, by the way did I mention today
That I don't know the way home
So could you take me by the hand and lead me to the dryer land
So I can finally breathe again instead of sinking like a stone
And now I will diligently and not religiously but affectionately come
Before the throne of your grace in this place and seek your face
For all eternity and then some

Am I foolishness to you
And is it laughable the things I do
Can you callused minds see past yourselves to his devine
Am I foolishness to you

Can I sing about my maker
And have you not role your eyes
Can I weep about my maker
And the way he died
I know it don't make sense
To those who ride the fence
But I'm so out to cry

You call it loosening up
Loosening up
I call it spiraling down
Only one thing's the same
Only one thing remains
Jesus Jesus

Can I sing about my maker
And have you not role your eyes
Can I weep about my maker
And the way he died
I know it don't make sense
To those who ride the fence
But I'm so out to cry

You're all asleep
You're all asleep
You're all asleep oh children
But he's over needed
You don't see it no

Can I sing about my maker
And have you not role your eyes
Can I weep about my maker
And the way he died
I know it don't make sense
To those who ride the fence
But I'm so out to cry

Can I sing about my maker
And have you not role your eyes
Can I weep about my maker
And the way he died
I know it don't make sense
To those who ride the fence
But I'm so out to cry

(Matthew 11:28)

Please lay down your arrows
For they're sure to pierce the skin
And water from a broken well
Will make you thirst again
When all things you've acquired
Are tested by the flames
And you can see them melting
Then will you call his name

It's worth it brothers
It's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved

To the slaughters you are being led
Being told that it's a party
That this God is in your head
And every single lie
Sounds just like the greatest truth
But the one truth you're not hearing
Is that he died for you

No greater joy
No greater peace
No greater love than this

It's worth it brothers
It's worth it friends
To know your maker
To lose your sin
Did you know that you are dearly loved

(Galatians 5:1-2)

O to be delighted by you
And to see the colors of your train
And to be freed by you
That would be that would be
That would be my claim to fame
So rejoice my friend because my friend
You've got a friend and friend indeed
It is for freedom he set us free

But simon says to fill your void
With toy after toy after girl after boy
After all isn't that what we were meant for
Please believe me when I say
It is for freedom he set us free

O poor us we sigh
Pour us out I cry
So we can be free

The bigger picture is there is a holy calling
O how I'm slowly falling
Falling falling in love
And your water has been pouring out on me
How could I be so naive
It is for freedom it is for freedom
It is for freedom he set us free

We mostly keep to ourselves 'round here
No sense rockin' the boat 'round here
We watch you dance into hell 'round here
It's time we speak His mind 'round here

Oh, so open your mouth, open it wide
Quit singing songs for a minute tonight
You can love with your hands, you can love with your deeds
How will they know if they know if we don't even speak?

We are the social workers, and we'll put springs on your car
We'll make your ride so smooth, yes we will
That you'll forget where you are
Don't forget where you are

So open your mouth, open it wide
Quit singing songs for a minute tonight
You can love with your hands, you can love with your deeds
How will they know if we won't even speak?

Cause I'm getting sick and I'm getting tired
I'm not even hearing us preach to the choir

So open your mouth, open it wide
Quit singing songs for a minute tonight
You can love with your hands, you can love with your deeds
How will they know if we won't even speak?

Open your mouth, open it wide
Quit singing songs for a minute tonight
You can love with your hands, you can love with your deeds
How will they know if we don't even, won't even, don't even speak?

The LORD reigns let the earth be glad
And let the distant shores rejoice and dance
For all they have
You’re making the skies say your name
You’re making me do the same

You make me sing
That from forever before the LORD he reigns
and you, you make me sing
That from the ends of the earth your song will ring
And so on and on we’ll hum these things
Until forever ahead cause you make me sing

You make me sing
You make me sing
You make me sing

The LORD gives let the earth receive
And if we turn and seek his face
Then we will see the light of day and be free
And he holds out his hand
I hope that we understand
Chorus

And the seas resound
We hear jubilant sounds
From the air to the ground
From the air to the ground
From the air to the ground

Chorus

(2 Timothy 2:24-26, Luke 9:23-24)

Wake up from your reality
Make up your mind
Take up your cross and follow me
Child don't be draggin' be laggin' behind

You've wasted all your energy
You've wasted your life
Try to save it you'll lose it
But not if you choose Him
So that you might live

I am who I say that I am
You are who I called to be free
He is the Lion and Lamb
So wake up wake up and get free now

It's paid for the debt is off your hands
Purchased by blood
Grateful, it's your only command
And I'll commend you for a job well done

The eyes of the Lord search to and fro
For one who will serve him
By His Spirit letting him know how much He adores him
So open your eyes He's calling you by name
Remove the lies they're holding you in chains
There's hope in the Holy God
By the Lamb that was slain
So open your eyes
Open your eyes

I've been through the world and back again and back again
And I've found a man that claims that he's your friend
May I go to him and trouble him and trouble him
Until that man sins

O my everything my everything is gone
And I am burdened with all of these afflictions
What he lent to me he also took away
May the name of the LORD be praised
When he saves the day
All the world will say
When he saves the day
All the world will say
Be glorified be magnified
Our El Shaddai praise Adonai
We cry holy we cry holy we cry holy
Adonai
How shiny is this statue made of gold
Everyone bow down and worship as you're told
I'll be the antithesis of happiness unless you praise this way
This furnace is the consequence for all who disobey
Well thank you but no thanks
I'd rather praise my El Shaddai
He's stronger than the strongest man and wiser than the wise
so toss us in and let us perish
from this evil place
but know that the name of the LORD will be praised
When he saves the day
All the world will say
When he saves the day
All the world will say
Be glorified be magnified
Our El Shaddai praise Adonai
We cry holy we cry holy we cry holy
Adonai

The Gospel, The Gospel
fragrancing words.
The sea of my soul
is calmed when it's hurt.
Peace to the broken
the captive set free
May the gospel of jesus wash over me


The Gospel, The Gospel
my freedom explained.
No more shall these garments
I'm wearing be stained.
The old man is missing,
the new man is free
May the gospel of Jesus wash over me


Wash over me
Wash over me
And come make me clean
Wash - I will be free, and I will be clean.

The Gospel, The Gospel
Shee's good and shee's true
Shee costs quite a fortune
to make all things new.
So breathe in with faith,
and doubt with his peace.

May the gospel.. of Jesus,
May the gospel.. of Jesus,
May the gospel.. of Jesus,
Wash over me.


Wash over me
Wash over me
And come make me clean

No one is good not even one

The front pages of papers of children raped by rapist
Iraqi torture chambers and we the blame claim we're blameless
Wrong all
And swelling up inside of us there's this pride in us this arrogance
And our only line of defense is the sense that
Im not as half as bad as this friend of mine so I must be fine
We mean well don't we
Yet I've never seen good intentions set a man free from
Hurt all
This poor unfortunate soul
Filling a single void with toy after toy with girl after boy
How boring this wasn't this meant to be Humanity's life story
Warring with Good saying what have you done for me
Bough all
Hanging out for six hours marred beyond recognition
In complete submission to his father will still
A proclamation was made louder than the loudest temptation
With more beauty than all his creation
More eternal than eternity more angelic than the heavenlies
It Is done for you and bought with blood
Accept
Rejoice
For freedom has come
