Ripped Into Exile
03:56

One day I'm walking in paradise
The next day I'm falling for lies
The taste on my tongue
Looked so good so I ate
So how do I have love for hate?
Oh, what is this place?
I can't remember without grace
Ripped into exile
The damage is done
Help me find my way
After the Fall we looked
forward in faith
Skin for a skin we survived
Covenant of mercy the
Way Truth and Life
Repeat the blood sacrifice
Now the fulfillment of
Scripture's arrived
The Kingdom of God is alive
Take down the blaspheming idolatry
Return to the living tree
Oh, leaving this place
In Christ we died and sins erased
Rose into heaven
The blessing is done
Jesus is The Way

Autopsied Atheism
04:35
|
|||
|
It started in the garden
The fruit of the tree
Before belief there was harmony
There was no need for faith
No mistakes effaced
After the Fall came the criminal case
What was the cause of death?
How did it lose its breath?
Facts for the legal eye
Type of a case to try
Take the body with the stab
Dress it down onto the slab
Forensic expert from the skies
Laser focused perfect eyes
Cut it with the holy blade
The Word's dissection to be made
Final cause will be revealed
The atheist post-mortem sealed
Rigor Mortis set into the heart by sin
Formaldehyde preserves flesh long enough to
witness disbelief when toe-tagged cannot resus
The coroner will tell us
The devil tried to sell us
into the great rebellion to be slaves
I have chosen
Y-Incision begins
Autopsy done
Judged by the Son
Dead atheism thrown into the morgue
The cause of death, the very cause of death
The cause of death was the presence of the Lord

Burial
05:29
|
|||
|
The dark of night is falling
The sting of death is calling
Tomorrow I have no promise
My time today is borrowed
I used to be so stubborn
My life seemed so immortal
Oh, James he gave us a warning
You are not your own master!
Time
Space and time
I am somewhere in space
And I don’t know where I am
Time
I’m caught in space and time
I am traveling through space
And I don’t know
What I don’t know
I don’t know where to go
Is this a burial?
Or do I need to trust God’s in control?
The dark of night is falling
The sting of death is calling
Tomorrow I have no promise
My time today is borrowed
Time
Space and time
I am somewhere in space
And I don’t know where I am
Time
I’m caught in space and time
I am traveling through space
And I don’t know
What I don’t know

The sands of the Sinai burn
Under my feet foreign land
Though the child was born so wild Isaiah foresaw
There's still so much that I don't understand
Forever sublime, a prophetic sign enters my mind
Here, nocturnal vision surreal
And what it means to me
'cause I will never see this again
Unless you close my eyes
Atonement through David's loin
Pharoah and Herod's demise
Tried to kill the Son
Before he'd begun to walk and then run
The Christ was the very first born to rise
I adopted a Son Who adopted me back
An orphan no more
Rise, take the child, hide him there by the Nile
For weeping voices and scorn
Rachel's sons are no more
Out of Egypt I have called my Son
Rise, take the child, deliver him from the Nile
The Nazerine He will be, the dream is reality
The Word became flesh spoken forever
Into the ears of the freed
Here, nocturnal vision surreal
And what it means to me
'cause I will never see this again
Unless you close my eyes
Here, nocturnal vision surreal
And what You mean to me
'cause I will never see this again
Until you open my eyes

Darwin's Missing Chimp
03:50
|
|||
|
An otherworldly genetic mind
Put us together man and woman design
It doesn't mean
that other things can't devolve
But human past and future doesn't dissolve
Because the tree
There's no monkeys in the tree
There's no monkeys in the tree
There's no monkeys in the tree
In the family tree
Humans are the race
Though we're not the same
Humans are the hunt
Though we're not the game
We polluted and we stained the trees
The pale moth lost it's camo you see
The darker moth blended in and thrives
Pales in comparison to human lives
Because the tree
There's no monkeys in the tree
There's no monkeys in the tree
There's no monkeys in the tree
In the family tree
The missing chained link fence
will never be climbed
The body of the chimp you're not gonna find
Any more than the dead body of Christ

Others
04:42

You set myself aside
There I can see You in the crowd
You're hungry and You're scared
You call someone to care out loud, out loud
Faith, hope and love is the best of us
But love is the highest by far
The Spirit of God in those next to us
Who cannot be free 'til we are
Feed them
Again and again
'Cause it's Me
Do unto others as you would do to you
In doing so you do to Me
Do unto others as you would do to you
In doing so will set you free
I found a secret, a field made of gold
Everything else was betrayed
There was no earthly treasure
compared so I sold
To give is the perfected way
Do unto others as you would do to you
In doing so you do to Me
Do unto others as you would do to you
In doing so will set you free
If you do unto others as you would do to you
And always remember My name
If you do unto others as you would do to you
In doing so they will do the same

Can't Undo
05:54
|

Feels like I’m out on the sea all alone
Looking for an island that I can call my own
Seems like I’m so far away, feels like I’m fading away
Feels like I’m trapped on a big spinning globe
Looking for a reason that I should still hang on
Seems like I’m so far away, feels like I’m fading away
I will always stand by you
I’ll be the one that’s telling you
You don’t need to follow the world
I will always stand by you, I’ll be the one who is
telling you there is only, only one of you
You can’t undo what you do if you do
what you wanna do
The pain is just passed on to the ones
that you leave behind
You can’t undo what you do if you do
what you wanna do and don’t believe the lie
you’ll come back as a butterfly
You, you can weather the storm
You, turn around go the other way
I’m drowning out the voices
I’m drowning out the voices
Help me, I’m drowning out the voices
I am drowning out the voices in my mind
I thought it was a dream, so I could not believe my eyes
I see an angel standing here, telling me I’ll make it!
You...can make it out alive, you...can see through
all the lies, you...have the strength and the might
You...I know that you’ll be alright
I’m drowning out the voices
I’m drowning out the voices
Help me!
Get out, get out, get out, get out, out of my head

Punk This
03:53

Read me once, read me twice
You don't know my name
Take your shot and make it hurt
but I won't take the blame
I know what the world is now
But it won't be this way
'cause love prevails and in the end
God is here to stay
You see the world with your own eyes
Soon the vision ends and evil dies
Hey, we believe that there's another Way
A road revealed and traveled on by faith
Take a chance and turn away from sin
The road appears and you begin
Constitutive moral luck
You think therefore I am
Supererogation thinking overtime again
Mental acrobatics
See a circus full of clowns
Gonna grab this microphone
And punk this poem down
Take this word
Think it through
Don't wait another day
There's nothing more important here
Than what He has to say
I know that Christianity appears naïve
But only to the unbeliever
Needing to believe
Hey, we believe that there's another Way
A road revealed and traveled on by faith
Take a chance and turn away from sin
Your death is done now you begin

In An Ancient Time
06:29
|

Take me to the temple
Will you take me to your king
Show me all the treasures
The ancient book we’ve never seen
In an ancient time
Waiting for a sign
We read the story
Then saw your glory
In an ancient time
And all those years gone by
Some kept believing
Yet never seeing
Take me to the palace
And send a summons to the king
We must listen to the prophet
This message changes everything
Day after day and night after night
The prophets are warning
Not to turn from the light
Here comes Josiah, can a boy king arise
To rescue his people
At this very critical time
In an ancient time
And waiting for a sign
We read the story
Then saw your glory
In an ancient time
And all those years gone by
Some kept believing
They had faith without seeing

Sunday school will someday end, no more lessons
No more friends, nevermind the things you learned
Abridge your life, a bridge you burned
Now the words are coming true
A judgment day including you
The world is telling you to wait, the world wants you to hate
Fight, you know what is right, time to hit the ground
Time to turn around is running out
Days are shorter than you think
Now you have a chance
The hours in the glass are running out
A backward mind once said
That God and all His words are dead
Modern thoughts no longer need
An ancient crutch for wise walking
Soon a time will come to pass when flesh and blood
like shattered glass will fall to pieces
The world will crash, evil dreams are dashed
This world has lied to you and steals away your
true confession
The way to live is how to give yourself and change direction
The child of light is given sight to see beyond the dark lies
The beat behind the worldly ways is out of time
The Word is on your mind, written long before this time
Take the water take His side, gain your life and lose your pride
To gain your life you first must die, your flesh is weak
So don't even try to please Him on your own no way
To Christ alone, Obey
Time is not on your side, it's not on your side
It's not on your side, it's running out
Life flowed from His side, it flowed from His side
Time to take His side
