Reverence

Verse 1
Many times before
I have called You narcissist
To settle some score
Between You and I
That I made in my mind
I tallied it this whole time;
To tell how You’re wrong
And show You how I’m right
How I’m right

Chorus
But I know I need
A new reverence for my King
I know it’s time for me
To take a knee

Verse 2
Wrestling with You now
Trying to take Your sovereignty
And push it on down
Into a place
Where I can call it a figment
Of false memories
Cuz even in Your grace
I still think I need to be free
I still want to be free

Chorus
But I know I need
A new reverence for my King
I know it’s time for me
To take a knee

Refrain
Many times before…

Bridge
As I see the Truth
Well life starts to sound like
A song, a song of hope
When once it seemed
A far cry from anything like
My ways of dissonance
But here in repentance

Chorus
I know I need
A new reverence for my King
I know it’s time for me
To take a knee

Letting You Go

Verse 1
Wishin’ I’d said all the words in my head to you now
Now I’m mulling o’er ‘what ifs’ and dwelling too long
On my hopes of the sound of music to your ears
From my earnest heart, to you endeared

Chorus
Oh, letting you go shouldn’t be so hard
Since I never held you
And now I must seem, I must seem like a draft
Something to revise or just a wind blowing by
Oh but letting me go, I wish it weren’t so easy for you

Verse 2
All of my hopes and my fears intertwine as you turn, they are tied up
Into a knot in the pit of my stomach, I choke and I find
That if confidence is king­- then you’ve overthrown its reign in me

Chorus
Oh but letting you go shouldn’t be so hard
Since I never held you
And now I must seem, I must seem like a draft
Something to revise or just a wind blowing by
Oh but letting me go, I wish it weren’t so easy for you

Bridge
I’ve only myself to blame
For giving my heart away
To someone I don’t know
I guess I’m a fool
For being a fool for you

End Chorus
Oh, letting you go shouldn’t be this hard
Since I barely know you
And now I just seem, I just seem like a draft
Something to revise; Am I a wind blowing by?
Oh letting me go, I wish it weren’t so easy for you

Faultine

Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It all went downhill
Oh and it’s where
We’ll part ways still

Yeah, I’ll tell you the truth
About the lies that I’ve told to you
My pride it blinds me like a light
So what’s there to shed
Other than our tearful cries?

Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It all went downhill
Oh and it’s where
We’ll part ways still

Breaking ground
But ground’s breakin’ fast
Much faster than we can last
So can we move on elsewhere?
Or do we only move on
Cuz we fall down again?

Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It all went downhill
Oh and it’s where
We’ll part ways still

Oh we need a reallocation
Of our words in this situation
They’ve pulled us away
Like tectonic plates and
I need you to…
I need you to…

Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It all went downhill
Oh and it’s where
We’ll part ways still

Meet me on the fault line, darling
Meet me back on the fault line
I know this is where
It’s all gone downhill
Oh but let’s not part ways here still

Agapé Love

Verse 1
That girl with ‘Agapé’ on her right wrist
Got me in bind and she don’t know it
 And if she does, that’s quite a shame
Though it’s a crush, it’s not a game
When I say, when I say

Pre-Chorus
I’m searching for Agapé
And it is found in Christ
His love’s more than sufficient
And at the same time
She’s hidden in Him now
And what’d I say I’m searchin out?

Chorus
Agapé love (4x)

Verse 2
Seeking Him more as I go on, day by day
It’s my purpose, pleasure, life in every way
Wish I could use this reasoning:
If her heart’s His and I know the King
Then we may be much closer than I thought

Pre-Chorus
I’m searching for Agapé
Thank God it’s found in Christ
His love’s more than sufficient
And at the same time
She’s hidden in Him now
And what’d I say I’m searchin out?

Chorus
Agapé love (4x)

Bridge
I want that love, I need that love
I’m seekin’ out that love
I want that love, I need that love
Seekin’ out that love
And it’s only found in Christ
Oh and you’re there
At the very same time

Chorus
Agapé love (4x)
Come on now, sing it with me!
Agapé love (2x)

Waiting

Verse 1
I see You waiting
Waiting on me still
Waiting on me still
But wait, but wait…
I’m not compliant
I’m not compliant to Your Will
I’d rather die than have to kill
My hate, my hate
Of being out of control! 

Chorus 1
I wanna believe that
It’s all about me and
Finding out what I think I need

Verse 2
I said I'd follow
I said I'd follow to no end
And on Your grace I would depend...
Always, always
But when it comes to pressure,
I've always wound up givin in
[I] forget about You to please them
I caved and I cave
And now I'm out of control!

Chorus 2
I wanna believe that
There's still hope for me and
God I can do something of use!
I wanna believe that
It’s not about me and
God it’s cuz You wait patiently
(Please break through to me!)

Bridge
When will I stop all this?
I’ll come around soon!
I keep on promising it to You!

End Chorus
I now can see that
It’s not about me and
I am not my own at all!
I wanna believe that
It’s not about me and
God it’s cuz You wait patiently





Is Sorrow A Drop On My Finger?

Verse 1
Is sorrow a drop on my finger
After it rolls down from my eye?
Is it something I can’t remember
Or lovers that still pass me by?
Come on and tell me
Where’d it all come from?

Verse 2
Is the human heart an organ
Or a soul encased within us?
Does their complex combination
Have to be so preposterous?
Come on and tell me;
Where’d it all come from?

Chorus 1
You say either way,
I guess we’ll find out at the grave
But all your wandering don’t seem to move you
From that same place
Where you wish you had the faith,
The faith of a child that once believed

Verse 3
Have we gone and seared out conscience?
Was it even there in the first place?
If there is a truth to be found,
Why have we gone astray?
(Why have we run away?)
And where [are] we gonna go?
Where [are] we gonna go?

Chorus 2
Either way,
I guess we’ll find out at the grave
But all your wandering don’t seem to move you
From that same place
Where you wish you had the faith,
The faith of a child that once believed

Chorus 3
Oh, either way, you say
I guess we’ll find out at the grave
But all your wandering don’t seem to move you
From that same place
Where you wish you had the faith,
The faith of a child that once believed
