- Track Name: The Gift
-
You make me alive with the gift you put inside of me
You make me believe in the light you shine so I could see
You make me the man who I am
You make me alive with the love you pour inside of me
In the evening light I hear your words
The streams of living water
Flow through you
You make me alive with a song you write inside of me
You make me believe that you care for everyone I see
You make me the man who I am
You make me alive with the love you pour inside of me
In the evening light I hear your words
The streams of living water
Flow through you
You make me alive with the gift you made inside of me
You make me believe in the light you shine so I could see
In the evening light I hear your words - Track Name: Morning Star
-
See, the spring is here
His voice drawing you near
Winter is here no more
Rain is over and gone
He knows your deepest pain
He knows you are in chains
Behold the spring is here
You have nothing to fear
Now come, now come alive
Leave it all behind
The brightness isn't far
See the Morning Star
He knows your deepest pain
He knows you are in chains
Behold the spring is here
You have nothing to fear
Blessed are those who weep
for they shall see our King the Comforter - Track Name: Even The Best Life You Have Is Complicated
-
Even if your work is meaningful
Even if your wife is beautiful
There are days when you feel troubled
Even if your friends always carry a smile
Outshine glow
You feel alone
Father calls you home
Even if you try some self control
Even if you taste some rock’n’roll
There are days when nothing helps you
Even if the pleasure is maximized
After it all
You feel alone
Father calls you home
Father calls you home
Even if your life was a perfect life
Even if your fame could reach the skies
Like a stormy cloud the troubles come
Hanging with you and walk along
Searching how a complex soul you have
Thinking what it means to be a man
The best life you can have is a challenging one
The best life you have is complicated one
And after all
This life is all
All that we have
Open your heart
Don’t be alone
Let worries go
Let it go, let it go
Let worries go
Let it go, let it go
Let worries go
Father calls you home
Father calls you home - Track Name: Flare
-
Here I run with a heavy shoes on and the wind is blowing hard
The snow is almost reaching my knees
But I can see the clouds are moving and the sun is coming out
So I wave and shoot a flare
If you call me
My eyes are opened
I will see your light in the distance
Lost in the valley
You will find me
Now I’m forever in your arms
I’ve been here for quite a long time
I’m frozen head to feet
At least I am counted as alive
It’s been a week when I last time could set up a fire
But now your help is here
When you call me
My eyes are opened
I will see your light in the distance
Lost in the valley
You will find me
Now I’m forever in your arms - Track Name: Coding (Time Machine)
-
Everything you translate
Is something I can’t explain
There is nothing new for you
You hold it in your hands
This planet and the lands
You have coded true life
Encrypted from the blind eyes
If everything is broken down
You have a time machine
If I’m ready to leave
Long long before I was born you knew it all
Songs, the future plans, my young romance, you knew it all
Details of my mindsets
Physics and my motives
Reasoning and every move
You’ve already seen
Scanning with your beam
Long long before I was born you knew it all
Songs, the future plans, my young romance, you knew it all
Your every word is perfect - Track Name: Mute Zechariah
- "...call to me... call to me... and I will answer you..."
- Track Name: Do I Even Realize?
-
The softness of the morning rays
Do I even realize
The kindness of the snow that rains
Do I even realize
The light - the cold
The endless shine in her eyes
Do I even realize
The sacred gift of united life
Do I even realize
The heart - the soul
- - -
The humble pair of listening ears
Do I even realize
The sleeping child - a mothers kiss
Do I even realize
The worth of it all
The prayer of a broken man
Do I even realize
The price you paid for him to stand
Do I even realize
The worth of it all
The wind - the wind - Track Name: Broken Walls
-
Walls are broken down
Your light reveals it all
I have understood
I am nothing in front of you
I tried to take a seat
Which was not meant for me
So I broke my knees
Now you can lead the way
I have understood
The weakest ones are strong
Your light reveals it all
I am nothing in front of you
Let me share my life
And all the things I have
With no pride at all
Now you can lead the way
You break these walls like paper castles children make
You burn our hearts with love that no one could make, ooh - Track Name: Mirror (I Have Tried)
-
I have thought that I’d be right in everything
I have tried to be the best and always win
I have been a captive in my prideful heart
But now I’m free
I have tried to prove my worth in useless things
Confused that I am singing just to be something
I have tried to reach a goal that never ends
But now I’m free
- - -
I have tried to reach your kingdom on my own
Even though you let me in by grace alone
I have tried to wash my face and fake a smile
But now I’m free
I thank you for the mirror showing all of me
Without it all the darkness I could never see
I’m reaching for the light that you could shine in me
You set me free - Track Name: Pearl Of Grace (Ending Song)
-
Hey, the ending is near
But I’ll continue from here
‘cause I know there is a place I want to go
When I was alone
You sent me a gift from above
With all your love sent me a shining pearl of grace
And from her smile I see your face
And where she is now, there I want to go
Stars shining bright when I’m driving home
I know I’m in her prayers all the time
I remember the days when I asked you more
So I could be sure if I could move on
And now she’s in my prayers
Here, here we are waiting for an adventure
Together we are more than just two
We are made by finest hands
Painted by Him
Blender of all shapes of light
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know we are
See the wind blowing in every corner of earth
And every home
We are here to ride this wind
Together
We are here under His wings
Come run away with me
When there is life in me
My only mirror
My pearl of grace
