Am I a man who knows how to love
When you hate what you fear the most
I'll wash your feet as you spit in my face
Hey you, I love your soul

I"m gonna love when you hate
You can't outrun or escape this liquid
My life poured out like water
I'm gonna drown you with maddening forgiveness
Hey you, I love your soul

Chorus: I can't depend on your hate to define my love
Am I strong enough to love your soul

Love doesn't care to receive what it gives
Bleeding compassion to extreme
Love stretches out to die for its enemies
Hey you, I love your soul

2nd Chorus: I can't depend on your hate to define my love
Am I strong enough to love your soul
No bounds on the deep, no bounds on the wide
Am I deep enough to love your soul

God I want to swim in the deep of you
God in you I'm strong enough, strong enough, strong enough, strong enough

(Repeat 2nd chorus)

Jesus pure truth
Recollect my mind (ya-di-da-da-da)
Hurt that I push down
Shows my anger why
I can't go underground

Everything I bury gets exhumed
I gotta dig deeper
And all the things I bury gets exhumed
I gotta dig deeper

I must get used
To strength out of weakl (ya-di-da-da-da)
Becoming by what I give
Not by what I can keep

Exposed before you
Everything I bury get exhumed
I gotta dig deeper
And all the things I bury get exhumed
I gotta dig deeper

How can I hide deeper
How do I fly deeper
And everything I bury gets exhumed
And all the things I bury gets exhumed

I wanna be locked in a cage
I wanna be strapped in a chair (hey hey)
I wanna be where you are
If my insanity comes (hey hey hey)
Wrapped up inside your...

I wanna break my legs
In case a thought to escape (hey hey)
Keep the hammer out of my reach
If my pounding impulse comes (hey hey hey)
Wrapped up inside your arms
Locked up inside you

Hold me down cause I want to know you
You bring calm to my rage
You are life and I'm thirsting for you
Hurry, hold me locked in a cage

i'm locked
i'm locked
i'm locked

I love to be caught by you
I wanna be trapped in your arms (hey hey)
Your cage is rest to my bones
Your cage is peace to my soul (hey hey hey)
Wrapped up inside your arms
Locked up inside you

Hold me down cause I want to know you
You bring calm to my rage
You are life and I'm thirsting for you
Hurry, hold me locked in a cage

Wrapped up inside your arms
Wrapped up inside your arms
I'm inside your arms
I'm inside your arms

Hold me down cause I want to know you
You bring calm to my rage
You are life and I'm thirsting for you
Hurry, hold me locked in a cage

Hold me down cause I want to know you
You bring calm to my rage
You are life and I'm thirsting for you
Hurry, hold me locked in a cage

i'm locked (repeat 'till end)

I walk through the desert, hide from the sun
All that I desire is You
Occasional water, cools my thirst
All I that I desire is You

I don't want to live dying on the inside

I breathe so softly, don't feel too content
Apathy whispers and makes me think
Am I just another man whose time went fast
What does it take to be called great

I don't want to live dying on the inside

Because Your love is better than life
Because Your voice heals me inside
Because my soul is satisfied
Because Your love keeps me alive

I cannot be silent, Im crying out
My soul is cold, my heart is numb
I break from my old self and step into You
You complete what was never enough

I don't want to live dying on the inside

Because Your love is better than life
Because Your voice heals me inside
Because my soul is satisfied
Because Your love keeps me alive

Keeps me alive with the strength to speak
This generation is dying to see
Who You are and how You free
Come Lord Jesus come

I've seen lots of dead men walking around
Make my heart, Make my heart alive

Because Your love is better than life
Because Your voice heals me inside
Because my soul is satisfied
Because Your love keeps me alive
REPEAT CHORUS

Keeps me alive.....

All the things my feet thought to be firm
Are falling with urgency
Tearing back my false sense of security

Some say things change, nothing stays the same
But the sweetness in my ears
Safe in your arms speak the words I love to hear

You have been more faithful than the morning sun
You have been more faithful knowing night will come
You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons
All the things I thought that I used to know
Are falling down again

Our disillusionment is how we grow
Some say things change, nothing stays the same
In a world of inconsistency
When everything's a lie, what can cause my heart to believe

You have been more faithful than the morning sun
You have been more faithful knowing night will come
You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons
(Repeat 2x)

Everything I am is resting in my jar
Holding nothing back from entering my jar
My hopes and dreams I put in my jar
You find my jar as beautiful

Deep the sorrow and pain I put in my jar
Times seem so hard I put them in my jar
My violence burns You've consumed my heart
Desperation ends with desertion in You

A moment of intimacy
My life explained and unpronounced
Falling at Your feet
I kneel perpetually
Staring at my jar
I proceed to pour it out
The loss and gain goes on and on and on...

You're in my blood and You're all around
Beauty speaks without a sound
Raging flood, You're the peace I need
Down, pour down (repeat)

All my fears and needs I put in my jar
I'd give everything to know who You are
The open space around Your feet
Becomes my resting place, my destiny

Staring at my jar,
I proceed to pour it out
The loss and gain goes on and on and on ...

You're in my blood and You're all around
Beauty speaks without a sound
Raging flood, You're the peace I need
Down, pour down (repeat)

And all You are,
Is all I need
You're all I need

A moment of intimacy
My life explained and unpronounced
Falling at Your feet
I kneel perpetually
Staring at my jar,
I proceed to pour it out
The loss and gain goes on and on and on...

You're in my blood and You're all around
Beauty speaks without a sound
Raging flood, peace I need
Down, pour down (repeat)

You're in my blood, in my blood... (keep goin)
All you are, is all I need, Yeah its all I need... Yeah its all I need

Thought You'd put me in a box
Thought You'd push me into a clump
Make me smaller then I was before

Thought you would press me and hold me in
Took a step and felt the pressure end
Exploding me into open space

Now You pull me apart
I'm suspended in You
Stretch me bigger
Reveal Yourself to be
The frame that holds me tightly
In center pulled
Into suspension in the middle of You

Let what was hidden be revealed
Walls of fear broken wide
Infinite Jesus spread all in You

Towering over the mountains
And stretching to the horizons
Gushing with surrender in Your hands

Now You pull me apart
I'm suspended in You
Stretch me bigger
Reveal Yourself to be
The frame that holds me tightly
In center pulled
Into suspension in the middle of You
(repeat chorus 4 times)

Now you pull me apart
Stretch me bigger
The frame that holds me tightly
In center pulled
Into suspension in the middle of you

Take my strength, take my pride,
Take my selfishness away
Take my rights, take ambition,
Capture me, make me a slave
Break my walls, break my bones,
Break my hardened heart
Rip my rule, rip my will,
Rip independency apart

Breathe Your life, breathe your love,
Breathe Your breath and I'm sustained
Take my hate, take my hurt,
Express healing to my pain
Take my flesh in all its arrogance, my stability away
Take my life, bring fire, 'til only You remain

Laid out on my face (yea)
My tongue hanging out to taste (yea)
Of You and Your death (yea)
And to know Your name (yea)

Accept my gifts, take my crowns,
I spread them at Your feet
When I bleed, I bleed with joy as I taste Your suffering
Flood life, flood peace,
Speak acceptance to my shame
Allow to kneel, allow to praise,
Give the right to speak Your name

Laid out on my face (yea)
My tongue hanging out to taste (yea)
Of Your and Your death (yea)
And to know Your name (yea) (repeat)

Laid out on my face
Want to know Your name (repeat)

Things are coming down
Things are coming down I can tell you
Beautiful the sound
Of things coming down 'cause I heard Him say

Divisions coming down
I saw peace on a white horse riding
Love is spreading around
The most contagious disease we've ever known

I will drink from the well of the One who gives me life
I will eat of the bread of the One sacrifice
I will breathe of the breath of the body of God
I will dive to the depths
And I will raise a new man

Racism's coming down
Not from a law, but a change in perception
Revival's spreading around
I hear the sound of reapers already say

I will drink from the well of the One who gives me life
I will eat of the bread of the One sacrifice
I will breathe of the breath of the body of God
I will dive to the depths
And I will raise a new man

Our knees are going down
To the One who brings fear to my every bone
His kindom's raining down
Who can stop the plans of the Lord?

I say

I will drink from the well of the One who gives me life
I will eat of the bread of the One sacrifice
I will breathe of the breath of the body of God
I will dive to the depths
And I will raise a new man

I will drink from the well of the One who gives me life
I will eat of the bread of the One sacrifice
I will breathe of the breath of the body of God
I will dive to the depths
And I will raise a new man

Talking to God
Hearing what He wants
He moves in violence
I stand in silence

Who can question You - who can fathom You?
In Your presence, who can stand?
Worlds spin around and kings crumble down
There's no escaping what You've planned

Wind approaching - clouds are forming
God in His power
Is swirling around me

Calling me - and You know my name
So jump in or be taken - yea I can't
Run long enough, or go far enough
To escape the screaming rain

It's alright
It's alright
Jump in the whirlwind
I'm letting go

My world's at stake
I want to break
Stop the striving
Start the dying

I'm thrown into it
It's so imminent
There's no arguing what You say
I gotta keep fanning it - I keep fanning it
I keep fanning the fire to flame

It's alright
It's alright
Jump in the whirlwind
I'm letting go

Master and Saviour, Sustainer and Creator
You move in power
And winds and thunder

It's alright
It's alright
Jump in the whirlwind
Letting go

Letting go - I'm lettting go

I thought distinctly
Different from now
Wonder dramatically
All about everything always

All my pushing
Becomes nothing...
I shake the fear

I used to compensate
For what I couldn't achieve
I conquered dreams
Forgetting what they were

All my pushing
Become nothing
All my falling
Is into You

(Yea yea yea)

Jump over on (Everybody now)
Dive over in (C'mon yea-yea)
'Cause it's just not enough
To stand at the edge (You gotta dive over in)

Now I am voiceless
Senseless at Your mercy
You draw me wildly
All my remainder

All my pushing
Become nothing
All my falling
Is into You

(Yea yea yea)

Jump over on (Everybody now)
Dive over in (C'mon yea-yea)
'Cause it's just not enough
To stand at the edge (You gotta dive over in)

All my pushing
Become nothing
All my falling
Is into You

(Yea yea yea)

Jump over on (Everybody now)
Dive over in (C'mon yea-yea)
'Cause it's just not enough
To stand at the edge (You gotta dive over in)
(REPEAT)

hanging on a post
in my dirty clothes
try to concentrate on you but
i keep forgetting

safe enough to not let go
scared enough to not release
open up to drink the wind
You tear me up when You come in yeah

take me down
shake me out
give me a brain
that i might know You better
2x
hanging in the sun
waiting for the rain
saw a field catch on fire
i caught myself just watching

safe enough to not let go
scared enough to not release
open up to drink the wind
You tear me up when
You come in

take me down
shake me out
give me a heart
that i might love You better
2x

hanging on a post
just next to yours
i want to curse and spit
i weep out loud at Your mercy

take me down
shake me out
give me a life
that i might serve You better
3x
