You drew a shape without a form Darkness was over the earth Created the light and the light was good Separating day from night The expanse of the waters Mountains and trees You said to form And it was so You made the trees able to grow You ignited the creatures’ blood Everything, every molecule Is your design you spoke alive The expanse of the waters Mountains and trees You said to form And it was so And with love to be your love You made a man and here I am And with this love my life is in your hands You made a man and here I am

Storm 02:53
They’re trying to take cover from the truth Trying to evade invisible fire I’m walking out with a knife in my hand They might call me a liar Stabbing their heart with a melting blade And they open up with a killing sentence I’m coming home with a scar in my face I didn’t really know how to tell this You can bring a storm, You You can tear the world apart And you ask us for our love, You But we are lost and proud in heart The end of time is making it all happen We’re building love only to rip it apart Coming home with some blood on my face What to do with my burning heart Writing a song and waiting for a discharge Tonight I can maybe fall asleep Awaken me with a voice in my head They can never call me a liar You can bring a storm, You You can tear the world apart And you ask us just to love You But we are lost and proud in heart

They can say that they are so annoyed When I mention this name they avoid They can say that I’m trying to be Better than rest in the scene of belief They can say there’s no proof that You live They can reason the peace that You give They can be like the rest of us too Surrounding ourselves with the same point of view But they can’t deny The truth that I feel alive When I stay in Your light They can say that You’re already dead By the proof that men only have said Still Your word in this song is alive Only to love, to forgive, to revive Oh, they can’t deny The truth that I feel alive When I stay in Your light I know it’s irrational, some part of it, yes But is our intelligence everything there is For why I’m living, I believe there’s a reason That’s why I’m singing, my life isn’t random

The energy of these songs lie Only when you hold my hand I’m alive All the trash in this flesh are mine But I know you will stay divine Here’s the art the art is blue You’re the heart the heart is you Here’s the chord out of tune You’re the heart your heart is true Every day when I try to be pure You have shown me that nothing is my own Here I am, only you renew all this trash in my flesh into new No melody is refreshing me Only the words of your lips will be my energy
5.
When you fix a broken heart, my Saviour I don’t want to miss a bit of your favor You gently check and guide my behaviour And give all words a brand new flavour Step by step you lead me on Day by day you build me up You’ll use a hammer when you need to And make me function again when I’m near you You heal our deepest wounds as you break through And free us teaching how you will stay true Step by step you lead me on Day by day you build me up Construct me Lord

Holy Kiss 05:03
Lord, I’m asking you for this Bless her with your holy kiss See the sorrow in her heart See the longing to find love For Lord, you gave me love to let her know that you still hear Lord, you gave me love to make her sure that you are near Raise your voice inside her thoughts Take the burden from her arms To tell I know you sent me here To you she always will be dear For Lord, you gave me love to let her know that you still hear Lord, you gave me love to make her sure that you are near Lord, you told us to be brave To ask anything in your name Now I’m asking you for this Bless her with your holy kiss For Lord, you gave me love to let her know that you still hear Lord, you gave me love to make her sure that you are near

As I bow down, you place a crown on my little head I wield your word and everything you said You have made me new Giving me a new name You have made me new You became my power I know you can give me eyes to see behind their eyes I know you destroy the lies with a love uncompromised When I fail, you don’t nail me, you keep me on my feet Send me in, I want to shine your love ’Cause you have made me new How I rejoice of your name You have made me new You became my power You have given me so much love and a peaceful life too Such words will be a healing touch for us I know you can see our eyes underneath a poor disguise I know you destroy the lies with a love uncompromised --- Trust your life in His hands He loves you Lay your worries in His hands He loves you

Time, it’s time to return to the house of righteousness I was lost in the crowd, sleeping to see Your kingdom come Time’s only something You have made You remind me when my feelings fade: With what is broken, You create I know You are never late Now it’s time to translate the words into active love I was lost in myself, suspicious if things would really change Time’s only something You have made You remind me when my feelings fade: With what is broken, You create and I know You are never late New life, isn’t it something to be praised? It is time to turn around and travel the world like You have planned Time’s only something You have made You remind me when my feelings fade With what is broken, You create and I know You are never late Tell me When will I be something complete I’m filled with desire to burn Your fire And I’m waiting here to be released Waiting for rain to fall down

Newlight 03:53
There is a new light in every morning A light of life that I have been longing for Connecting power - the game is loading Oh you can give me a sound surrounding An alternative Instead of losing hope we’ll see a world Behind the broken walls We cannot know when this is all we’ve seen and understand I hope we give up our eyes And in the shadows you swing a lightbeam Destroying darkness and staying supreme I feel connected - ready for next round with every speaker exploding a great sound Connect the power Would you please Connect the new light

In this quiet night I sing alone The streets are wet but the rain is gone And I am falling on my knees I want to love but I’ve been proud Of myself please let me out So I am falling on my knees I want to give You glory But always take some for me It’s never been my story I’m falling on my knees I hope tomorrow I will see How Your love rains down on me And every time I sing alone I’m slowly walking the way You’ve shown And I thank You for the years I give You all the glory
