Breathe

You're calling me under water / That's where the life is / I can't see too far ahead now / But I know you're calling me
Glowing lights like buried treasure / I want to find them / I make my way from strength to strength now / Learning who I am
Breathe under the water
Swim the see, drawing me farther
To you, finding my way to you
Finding my way to you
A path of stones laid on the water / I don't belong there / I'm letting go, swimming deeper / There's something down there / There's something down there
A mountain stands out in the distance / An ocean between us / Above, below, a spirit moving / I know you're calling me
I'm finding my way to you

Echo Stardust
06:05
|

|
Something in her eyes again / an emptiness, a disengagement / She watches birds wishing she was one / She can't bring herself to answer all the questions that they ask her / But she knows / But she can't say / Find your voice
It seems the fire's long burned out / Absent flames, what remains now? / A cavity / Just ghosts and embers / Her passion is an open wound / What is born of fire and blood? / Something new / Find your voice
You were made of intention and grace
And for your song creation waits
Luminous, a word can rescue us
So find your voice
Go echo stardust
I told her life's a gift / She's so afraid to open it / She plants flowers, sees them grow and die / There's not enough time / So heavy, her feelings / Becoming isn't easy / She turns her tears to poetry / She finds her voice
There's questions in the waiting / There's worry in the waiting / There's tension in the waiting / Keep on waiting / Keep on waiting / There's redemption in the waiting / You're becoming in the waiting / Lift your head up in the waiting / If you're waiting, it's not over
I told her life's a gift / Go echo stardust

Living is a Fire
04:37
|
|||
|
As the flower fades in the autumn we are made from dust, and to dust return / Wither in the sun and the wind comes, leaving not a trace / Will anyone remember us?
Here we find ourselves in the grandest story we can live / Take care not to rush / Daring to believe in a union, it's a fearful thing to love what death can touch
Living is a fire
Flesh and time consumed in light
Facing my desire
Breathing in the scent of mystery's intent
Everything that falls, you uphold it all, Love unsearchable
The spirit that revives comes in the disguised substance of our lives
Every soul enfleshed only draws breath by design of grace / We are moved to praise / Whether in despair or in hope, so radiant the gaze / Songs give way to faith
Luminous, the dark, hidden places / More than we can bear, that God is everywhere / Beauty of the world multiplied to infinite degree covers everything
Dying by the brightness
Moving where the light is

Save Me
04:14
|
|||
|
The ice is melting underneath / adrift untethered on an endless deep / Fractured glass worn paper thin / Floating outward on the current's whim / I'm drifting far away
Save me
I'm lost at sea
Scared the things I trust in have abandoned me
Can you see the start or end?
'Cause I'm too turned around to know which part I'm in
I look around and I can't breathe / signless surface far as eyes can see / Got tired of the mystery / I can't believe that anyone's as scared as me / So far away
Save me
I'm crying out
Suffocated by fear and this relentless doubt
Save me
I'm all alone
When everyone is a stranger how can I be known?
I need more than a little help
Save me from all I've been
I went to far and the waves have brought me down again
Can you see much deeper still?
If there's a refuge it's just beyond my strength of will
Where mercy rises like the sun / over all I've done and left undone / A resurrected heart made new / I'm not alone in all I'm going through

Like Those Who Dream
05:13
|
|||
|
When you brought us home it was like a dream / You brought back what we lost like we were in a dream
Those who sow in tears / Those who bear the seed / Let your tears fall down / Sowing heaven's seed
Our mouths were filled with laughter
Tongues with shouts of joy
They said among the nations
"You have don'e great things."
You've done great things for us
Our hearts have been made glad
Restore to us all we have lost like desert streams
We're like those who dream
Reap with shouts of joy / Brining back your sheaves / Come home with shouts of joy / Our blessings never cease

Stay Awake
04:17
|
|||
|
Left the sand dunes where I come from / I felt the wind blow / I took the long road / In the rearview early light breaks / Feels like a good day to make my own way
Stay awake
Left to right, I look both ways / Each intersection demands reflection / Close my eyes, I'm halfway there / Get's hard to hope for becoming much more
Stay awake
Come alive to what's before you right now
Can you surrender to the moment right now?
Just this, right now
There's a garden springing flowers / Their tiny rows bend into their stone ends / Destination in my mind's eye / I'm not there yet, but it's a safe bet
Everything can move in us to love / What's below and what's above / Everything is moving us to love
A winding road from where I started / Forty years down / They're set in stone now / The beginning to the finish / I keep hoping my eyes stay open
Stay awake

Friend of the Sinner
06:18
|
|||
|
You're not far, you're near / Anywhere I go / Your love is all around me revealing hope
Before I close my eyes / Before I bend my knee / Your presence draws in closer / You're here with me / So close to me
Faithful shepherd
Friend of the sinner
Light for the wanderer
Rest for the weary
Gentle healer
Holding the broken
Love for the lonely
Jesus
You call me your child / Though I have wandered far / Forgiveness flows from your heart / Light beaks the dark / That's who you are
Show me more, more of you / Saving power breaking through / Show me how to love like you / You lead I'll follow
Give me eyes to see through all my wounds and scars / I want to love like you love / I need your heart

Souls Don't Die
05:08
|
|||
|
Where am I from? / Is there a reason that I am this way? / Am I a gun? / Where do these feelings come from? / Can I choose to be someone?
What is my purpose? / Is there a story still unfolding? / I'm not a gun / But I know I was made / I'll be what I need to be to keep you safe
Souls don't die
You stay, I'll go
No following
I'll take flight
I'll break apart
You can put me back together
Where am I from? / Is there a reason that I am the way I am? / I'm not a gun / Where do these feelings come from? / I'll be who I need to be
