All I See is the Snow
04:06
|

Looking outside, all I see is the snow
I'm reminded of how bright your eyes do grow
When I call you my one and only love
No other could replace you my sweet holy dove
Cold winter come and freeze me in place
Cause I wouldn't mind loving you for the rest of my days
Even when spring comes and our hearts grow again
I pray we keep our love through every season
I've gone so long and been all alone
During those times my heart was hard as stone
But now I'm not afraid when the cold wind blows
Cause when I'm with you I'm safe from its row
Cold winter come and freeze me in place
Cause I wouldn't mind loving you for the rest of my days
Even when spring comes and our hearts grow again
I pray we keep our love and in love we remain

Red Flower
03:41

The flower in your hair is tearing up the sky
Or maybe it's the sun cause everything is red up high
And the clouds are opened up to make way for the light
While the flower in your hair tears up the sky
Your eyes are red I think we've spent to much time
Playing outside, trying to come up with new rhymes
About love and war and about each other's lives
Your eyes are red and I think it's about time
The music is sulking and it's filled with cliches
Everyone is sleeping but we're both awake
While the moon lights our guitars while we play
Where making too much noise to ever wanna sleep

Sky Stay Grey
02:59
|
|||
|
Empty trees, white streets, the sun sleep and I'm rejoicing
Cause all I see is snow and sleep, the cities winter anointing
Smokey scenes and water heat all working to fight the bite
Of the cold that never goes, just takes a rest sometimes
Sky stay grey, keep the sun away, I like it this way, when its hard to separate the night, from the day
.
Colored lights, and shopping signs, the city grows so much warmer
To make me stop, a glowing shop, all put together on the corner
Sparkling homes, lit up lawns, are the moon tonight,
Where to go, no one knows, everyone's hoping to get through this plight

Simple Song Uno
02:46
|
|||
|
My lord would You speak
Would You speak, would You sing into my ear
Fill my mind with Your voice
Let it echo that holy noise through here
To hear You love me
To hear Your word
Remind me that You love me
Remind me that You care for me

Simple Song Dos
01:07
|
|||
|
Don't wanna sing about being sad
Or about life without You Dad
It's so easy to dwell on that
And forget how You brought me through the black
I'd rather sing about Your love
Your glory falling from above
I'll sing about what is to come
Oh, Dad, can't wait till I get home
It's the perfect picture of You
How You love me, and I love You too
There's nothing I could do
Every day Your love is new

Psalm IV (Sort of)
03:01
|
|||
|
Answer me when I call to you, oh my God
I am stressed and I need Your relief
Answer me when I call to you, oh my God
Hear my prayer and be merciful to me

Repenting Song
03:18
|
|||
|
I don't know if I can really love
I've never given and not got
I'm always fighting to be at the top
I think only of my self
Lord, I pray
Strip me away
And leave only You
I worshiped my love
And Your's I forgot
I'd hurt another man
If it means I could rise up
I've taken slaves
Even though I'm set free
I've paved my own path
And it leads to my death

Those Pills are a Dam
01:42
|
|||
|
Those pills are a dam
Those pills are a dam
Those pills are a dam in the river
I can feel all my thoughts
Start to build up
Start to overflow
Just take another pill
Well, there's a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
And each hour it gets bigger
I can feel all my thoughts
Start to leak out
Start to tear me down
Just take another pill
I know You can tear
I know You can tear
I know You can tear down the the dam
I'd feel all my thoughts,
Flowing non stop
But it wouldn't matter none
Cause You'd replace that pill!

I Love You
02:20
|
|||
|
Well, I love You
Won't you take me
Into your home
I've been waiting here
For You to come
I'm Your bride,
and Your my Groom
All I want is to live with You
So won't You take me
Into Your home
I love You!
Your my love! (My love, my love!)

Who I Was
03:46
|
|||
|
These hands that killed, now bring life
These feet that walked away, now work to spread Your love
This tongue that cursed, now speaks Your name
And this man who was dead, has died again
See who I was, is gone
I've been replaced by who you are
This mind was so sad, now it's filled with joy
My thoughts would tear me down, but now they build this boy
I used to always crave, but now I am fulfilled
And this man who was dead, has died to self
See who I was, is gone
I've been replaced by who you are
This body is Yours, this mind is Yours, this heart is Yours, this life is Yours
I have been made new, inside and out
From my soul's depths to the tip of my nose
It's all You, I am no more
See who I was, is gone
I've been replaced by who you are

Your Love is Everything
03:23
|
|||
|
Your love is everything
There's no soul too lost for it to find
No need for love of any other kind
Now that I've been found by my king
And when the sky goes black
No whispers or shadows will I fear
I take comfort in knowing You are here
You make up for the strength I lack
Your love is everything
There's no soul too lost for it to find
No need for love of any other kind
Now that I've been found by my king
When I step off Your path (to make my own way)
I know You still guard each step I take
Each time I stumble and misstep I make
I learn to listen more intently to each word You say
Your love is everything
There's no soul too lost for it to find
No need for love of any other kind
Now that I've been found by my king
