If you find it in Your heart, can I be forgiven ?
Guess I owe You some kind of apology
I've escaped death so many times, I know I'm only living
By the saving grace that's over me.
By this time I'd-a thought I would be sleeping
In a pine box for all eternity
My faith keeps me alive, but I still be weeping
For the saving grace that's over me.
Well, the death of life, then come the resurrection
Wherever I am welcome is where I'll be
I put all my confidence in Him, my sole protection
Is the saving grace that's over me.
Well, the devil's shining light, it can be most blinding
But to search for love, that ain't no more than vanity
As I look around this world all that I'm finding
Is the saving grace that's over me.
The wicked know no peace and you just can't fake it
There's only one road and it leads to Calvary
It gets discouraging at times, but I know I'll make it
Night and day i seek your face
Long for you in the secret place
All i want in this life
Is to truly know YOU more
As the waters cover the sea
So your love covers me
Guiding me on
Roads unknown
I trust in you alone
I trust in you alone
****
My saving grace
My endless love
Deeper and deeper
I'm falling in love with you
My one desire
My only truth
Deeper and deeper
I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
Because I know someday someone else will see it my way
And then I'll know I was not wrong
I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
They think that I'm no good
but I wi
ll make myself understood
'Cause I believe it all along
I think I'm gonna love it
I know they won't believe it
When they finally see the saving grace in me
I know the time is gonna come
When I will mean something to someone
I'm passing sleeping cities
Fading by degrees
Not believing all I see to be so
I'm flyin' over backyards
Country homes and ranches
Watching life between the branches below
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
I'm moving on alone over ground that no one owns
Past statues that atone for my sins
There's a guard on every door
And a drink on every floor
Overflowing with a thousand amens
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Don't you baby?
You're rolling up the carpet
Of your father's two-room mansion
No headroom for expansion no more
And there's a corner of the floor
They're telling you is yours
You're confident but not really sure
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Don't you baby?
You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Holy unto You
Never letting go
You have saved my soul
You have made me whole
You took my brokenness
You filled me with Your joy
All I long to do is worship
All I long to do is bring You praise
For nothing compares to You
My saving grace
Jesus, Savior
My life belongs to You forever
Cause You have set my heart on fire
Without direction I walked the night
I was alone, a single beam of light
One glance and you changed my blues
To a prism of light, a thousand hues.
Now, I must climb to the rainbows arc
Who knows, I might find a halo for your heart.
Whenever I'm lost for words
And my whole world's fallin' apart.....
(Chorus)
You are my Saving Grace
You are the light of a love everlasting
I find a hiding place in your arms
My one and only Saving Grace.
I fought the world with a restless heart
Kept my emotions locked away in the dark.
Then you came to build me up
When this world could only tear me apart....
(2nd Chorus)
(bridge)
For the rest of your life
You can count on me
To never let you down.
When you whisper to me
You give me strength to believe
That I can hold on somehow.
(3rd Chorus)
Night and day I seek Your face
Long for You in the secret place
All I want in this life
Is to truly know You more
As the waters cover the sea
So Your love covers me
Guiding me on roads unknown
I trust in You alone
As the waters cover the sea
So Your love covers me
Guiding me on roads unknown
I trust in You alone
My saving grace, my endless love
Deeper and deeper, I'm falling in love with You
My one desire my only truth
Deeper and deeper I'm falling in love with You
As the waters cover the sea
So Your love covers me
Guiding me on roads unknown
I trust in You alone
My saving grace, my endless love
Deeper and deeper, I'm falling in love with You
My one desire my only truth
Deeper and deeper I'm falling in love with You
With You fallin' in love with You ohh
And I will rise on wings of eagles
Soaring high above all my fears
I rest in Your open arms of love
My saving grace, my endless love
Deeper and deeper, I'm falling in love with You
My one desire my only truth
Deeper and deeper I'm falling in love with You
My saving grace, my endless love
Deeper and deeper, I'm falling in love with You
My one desire my only truth
Deeper and deeper I'm falling in love with You
As the waters cover the sea
She had her father's blue eyes
He left home before she arrived
Mama named her Grace
Just getting by on their own
When Grace was 15 she ran from home
One December day
Grace is lost and alone in a world as cold as stone
God is counting on us to to reach her with His love
CHORUS:
It's all about saving Grace
All about living love
Being Jesus to those He came to save
Sharing life and giving our own away
It's all about serving God
All about saving Grace
She'd never darken the door of any church
She would say, "What for...no one there would care for me"
We have to go where she lives
Simply show her who Jesus is
Watch Him set her free
For grace flows down from above and faith requires a selfless love
For a world that's dying to to see the hope in you in me
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
There are countless millions just like Grace
Who need a merciful embrace
They won't believe our God is real
Until they feel His touch
So we drive and we've driven 10,000 miles
In our hometown
Sink back into the driveway
Which is Zen The head in the stairs
Or the body in the chair?
A Saving Grace at odds with technology A Saving Grace
18 with a bottle of water Cold jeans and the face of Gibraltar
How many trunks of your goods?
How many goods do you give away?
I'm spellbound when I can't move I stand in front of you
I'm flipping back through the pages of your calandar and your books
And your childhood and your looks
I try to move in your direction against the grain of time
I'm hoping to recollect my thoughts and motions
I pray to science and history Like cancer doesn't grow
I worship and forget you Bye
Worship and forget you
A Saving Grace
And holding on to what we've made
As it drags us by the legs across the living room
Put the children to bed
It could happen here today
It could happen here today
And I can't wait to see your face
No I can't wait to see your face
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself
You're the little thing, my saving grace
You're just a little thing, my saving grace
It could happen here today
It could happen here today
You are my saving grace
You are my saving grace
Will you be strong while I take hold of myself
Will you be strong while I take hold of myself
You're the little thing, my saving grace
You're just a little thing, my saving grace
It could happen here today
It could happen here today
You are my saving grace
I've really made a fool of myself
I hit the wall but it never bothered you at all
My pony bolted out too soon
And left me howling at the moon
You are my saving grace
(Oo my saving grace)
You put me in my place
(You put me in my place)
I see your smiling face
(I see your smiling face)
The clouds disappear, and blue skies fill the space
You are my saving grace
I didn't know what I was s'posed to be
So I tried to bluff, but I never offered you enough
Now I'm feeling the remorse
I want you back because of course
You are my saving grace
(Oo my saving grace)
You put me in my place
(You put me in my place)
I see your smiling face
(I see your smiling face)
The clouds disappear, and blue skies fill the space
You are my saving grace
Do you remember when, you gave your heart to me?
I want it back again, I want it back again
Oh baby, sweet baby
Won't you reconsider me?
'Coz as anyone can see.
You are my saving grace
(Oo my saving grace)
You put me in my place
(You put me in my place)
I see your smiling face
(I see your smiling face)
The clouds disappear, and blue skies fill the space
You are my saving grace, you are my saving grace
You are my saving grace, you put me in my place
I see your smiling face
(I see your smiling face)
The clouds disappear, and blue skies fill the space
You are my saving grace, you are my saving grace
Every night I wonder
If a teller is in heaven I'm dwellin
Does hell have the pearly gates
Or is heaven a deadly robbery at 7 eleven
Verse 1:
I'm not afraid of death
I'm embracin death
So if I take your breath away
Expect the day to rest
The sun comes down underground
Where the hedgehogs be I am under now
Broke apart from the broken heart
I know the stars are in alignment
For charles' assignment
How simple is this
My only mission is to live and exist
I was given a gift difference is
I was made in gods image ya dig
So I guess it was me that presented the gift
Accented with a twist
I get it how I live
I live just to live
I give a fuck if
You don't consider fuck a curse word
So in this matrix I am just a curser
God tight
The sky light
My life is in the games highlight
Gettin high ever night to fight my plight
Now my mic got me livin in the high life
So fuck you rappers and ya bikes and ya chains
This is my way sadness that can brighten ya day
Hook:
God gave me style
God gave me grace (god give my style god give me grace)
God put a smile on my face (god put a smile on my face)
God make me shine like the sun (god make me shine like the sun)
Sometimes I feel I am the one
Yeap I'm pretty sure
Verse 2:
I make mixtapes to talk about the right now
I make albums to talk about my lifestyle
I make music to pump my heart
A perfect 10 november is the month I start
WHOA
Is me
This beat
Gets me to the state of mind where I can live free
9th grade insecure couldn't get numbers
Spent time between writin, beats, and pick hunter
This summer I'm charlie the capriore
Hardly happy but I aint walkin sadly tho
I am so at peace I'd call my daddy
If he even existed to me
Dead or alive no difference to me
Either way his soul is distant to me
I aint grow to be wat mom wants me to be
But so wat my nigga song 23

Break:
It aint my fault!
I just switch the style I'm hot I break it down
It aint my fault!
You can't break it down the way I break it down
It aint my fault!
I just switch the style I'm hot I break it down
It aint my fault!
Saving Grace
Words and music by Tony Wood, Danny Myrick, and Brent Ronald
She's on the edge of a reputation
Grace wants to change
But it's just so tough
Out with her friends
Looking for attention
Just a girl who wants to be loved
Everyday life is moving faster
Grace is trying by it just won't work
She knows her life
Is headed for disaster
Never knew how much living could hurt
She was running in the wrong direction
Till she met a friend of mine
Now He's
CHORUS:
Saving Grace
From making mistakes
She'll never forget
Amazing Grace
From the heartache and regret
He is saving Grace
On the edge of a big decision
Temptation's calling
Her number's been changed
On her knees
She's talking and she's listening
She's found a way to avoid the pain
Now she's headed in a new direction
Since she met a friend of mine
Now He's
CHORUS
Can't get rid of this blue sun
It's been so long since I've had fun
She's wearing a special dress
We're in a terrible mess
It's been so long since I've been home
Since I've had fun
I'm coming home
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
My retreat's in my head
Take back those things that you said
I might as well have been dead
But I'm staying sane instead
I've saved my face
Saving grace
Saving grace
It's been so long since I've been home
I'll be there soon, soon, soon
My retreat's in my head
Take back those things that you said
I might as well have been dead
But I'm staying sane instead
I've saved my face
Saving grace
Saving grace
It's been so long since I've been home
Since I've been home
I'm coming home
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
Yeah, I'm coming home
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
It could happen here today
It could happen here today
And I can't wait to see your face
No I can't wait to see your face
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself
You're the little thing, my saving grace
You're just a little thing, my saving grace
It could happen here today
It could happen here today
You are my saving grace
You are my saving grace
Will you be strong while I take hold of myself
Will you be strong while I take hold of myself
It could happen here today
It could happen here today
You are my saving grace
Pleading cause we prayed for peace tonight
Bleeding cause you knew the fight was right
Take my hand, we're almost home
We can see the fire glow
Save me grace
I'm sick of saving face
Will You hold me close?
You're all I want to know
Anymore
Wake me up with patience I don't know
Call me by a name that I lack
Take my hand, we're almost home
We can see the fire glow
Save me grace
I'm sick of saving face
Will You hold me close?
You're all I want to know
Desperate love has got me where You want
I surrender
Take us to the place we can start
Happy ever after
Desperate love has got me where You want
I surrender
Take us to the place we can start
Happy ever after
Happy ever after
Save me grace
I'm sick of saving face
Will You hold me close?
You're all I want to know
Save me grace
I'm sick of saving face
Will You hold me close?
You're all I want to know
I walk the tightrope on my way home your my backbone
I know your somewhere close behind me
I walk the fault line and the dirt hills in the spring time
I feel the wind start to remind me of you
And the sweet talk on the sidewalk
its true
All i know is
All we got is what's left to take
Hearts so pure in it's broken place
cos we are, we are, we are
cos we are, we are, we are
Lovers lost in space
We're searching for our saving grace
And i still remember how your lips taste on holidays
You leave in December what can i say to make you stay
Cos we won't fade away
We"ll find peace while others change
And I know your somewhere close behind me
And it's true
The sweet sound in the background
It's you
All i know is
All we got is what's left to take
Hearts so pure in it's broken place
cos we are, we are, we are
cos we are, we are, we are
Lovers lost in space
We're searching for our saving grace
oh yeah. we're searching for our saving grace
Oh yeah
Keep on searching, Keep on searching
keep keep, keep keep
Keep on searching, Keep on searching
keep keep, keep keep
I walk the tightrope
Your my way home
Your my backbone
You'll always be here right beside me
All we got is what's left to take
Hearts so pure in it's broken place
cos we are, we are, we are
cos we are, we are, we are
Lovers lost in space
We're searching for our saving grace
Keep on Searching
Keep on Searching
Don't walk away from me
Without so much as an explanation
I see the fire in your eyes
You just say it's my imagination
Where you going, who you running to,
Does she know just how to soothe you baby, soothe you
I've made you laugh, I've seen you cry
Fought the anger the desperation
I'm more than qualified to see you try
To make the best of the situation
Where you going, what you gonna do
Is she strong enough to hold you baby, hold you
No one loves you like I do
No one cares like I care about you
And like no one could ever take my place
You're my saving grace.
Stop right there I have to know
Is it love honey or infatuation
And when the passion fades and dies
I'll be here I'll still be waiting
Come to me I'll take care of you, I'm gonna take care
of you
Cause nobodies gonna love you baby like I do, I do
No one loves you like I do
No one cares like I care about you
And like no one could ever take my place
You're my saving grace.
Yes you are, yes you are
Saving grace for now, know that someday I might seem worth while
Feeling closer now, and the question should be who not how
Know that I'll be there...to catch you when you fall
Know that I'll be there... walk or crawl
Just know that I'll be there
Holding my breath for now, know that with you I might breath again
Aching just to be beside you, inside you, in every way
Know that I'll be there...to catch you when you fall
Know that I'll be there... walk or crawl
Just know that I'll be there
Saving grace for now, know that someday I might seem worth while
Aching just to be everything and everywhere to you some way
Know that I'll be there...to catch you when you fall
Know that I'll be there... walk or crawl
Just know that I'll be there
I'll be there in body, be there in soul
When the night surrounds you and your feeling all, feeling all alone
I'll be there beside you regardless of miles
Only forever and into beyond
Just know that I'll be there
Know that I'll be there
Know that I'll be...
I got you, you know I heard you say
You blossomed into a beautiful day
Your sunlight keeps shining in my face
I would see it even in deep out of space
And all in time, I know
I will see you again and again
And every night I'm going to hold you
And hold you and then
Before the light I will rescue
And then we'll begin to start it all over again
I love it and how you clear my way
Guide me into a brand new day
In your eyes you know I've found my place
You see you - you are my saving grace
And all in time
I going to see you again and again
And every night I'm going
To hold you and hold you and then
Before the light I will rescue
And then we'll begin to start it all over again
Don't ever want to miss you
Don't ever want to forget you
The way you are today
And all in time
I'm going see you again and again
And every night I'm going
To hold you and hold you and then
Before the light I will rescue
Like a man on a wire
I balance between
A heart filled with desire
A head that knows everything
Somewhere out in the middle
You found me
I've got one foot in the clouds
One foot on the ground
You keep me steady somehow
Keep me from looking down
Somewhere out in the middle
You found me
Falling into you
Is safe and sound
You open up my eyes
I see it now
You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
I run to my hiding place
My saving grace
My life hangs on a string
But I'm not afraid
I feel your love down below me
If it starts to break
Somewhere out in the open
You found me
Falling into you
Is safe and sound
You open up my eyes
I see it now
You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
I run to my hiding place
My saving grace
My saving grace
Carry me now
On your shoulder
I won't look down
Pull me closer
Carry me now
On your shoulder
I won't look down
Pull me closer
Pull me closer
You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
I run to my hiding place
My saving grace
I got home late, found you asleep
A flood of feelings washed over me
Overcome by your loving ways
You?ve always been my saving grace
I?ve been doubtful, I?ve been lost in fear
My direction so unclear
But you stood by me and you, you kept the faith
You?ve always been my saving grace
Oh, when I look at you
I realize how lucky I am
Your love lifted me
And you chose me to be your man
Oh, when I look at you
I realize how lucky I am
Your love lifted me
And you chose me to be your man
Now when my future threatens me
And I?m caught up in uncertainty
I feel your love and I?m unafraid
I know you?ll be my saving grace
When I try to recall the past I see your face
You erased all my doubts
Nothing less than a miracle
You saved my life
You were so amazing
Perish surely
I thought truly
But You came
You rescued me
Here I am once again in the midst of doubt
Setting forth on the path You have fashoned out
You have shown there is none like You in this world
I'm undone
You have come
You're my Saving Grace
Brittleness breaks me
Once again I snapped in two
Damaged through to my soul
Frail but I can feel the strength returning
So alive I can feel life burning
With Your beauty
How You've have moved me
You are there
You carried me
Here I am once again in the midst of doubt
Stepping forth on the path You have fashoned out
You have shown there is none like You in this world
I'm undone
You have come
You're my Saving Grace
Here I am once again in the midst of doubt
Stepping forth on the path You have fashoned out
You have shown there is none like You in this world
I'm undone
You have come
I was running out of Cafe conversation
I was weary of fashion parade
and it seems like there's a whole lot of people
from out of town around here, these days
And in the streets the preachers say
If you wnat to go to Heaven why don't you walk this way
All day I prayed for 5 O'Clock
I'm thinking maybe I should quit this job
Then as the lights turn on the corner
I see your face
and I light up like a child
Cause you are the one who makes me see
You are my saving grace
You make me want to become
Become better
Cause when you walked in
You truly changed my world
You take my hand
You make me strong
And when I'm weary
I don't have to explain myself
When I crawl the stairs
You let me rest
I never thought I'd ever see the sun again
Bitterness was beating down my door
Now I'm picking up the telephone I read your name
and I light up like a child
Cause you are the one who makes me see
You are my saving grace
You make me want to become
Become better
Cause when you walked in
You truly changed my world
You take my hand
You make me strong
And when you want me
I'll be there you know I will
Just take my hand
with eyes/a smile like yours that can make a man
or they can break a man
i can't hide from what is true
and every time i try to make amends
i never comprehend
all i need is you
and every time i fall
i see your face
i realise your more to me than a saving grace
and don't you know that when you smile that i'm smiling to
it doesn't always show
but believe me when i tell you girl when i'm not listening
its because i'm thinking about you
Close my eyes
Light me a candle
Let it burn
As the time grows cold
You are my saving grace
Like a knife
To an angel
Like a child
You engage the world
You are my saving grace
Give me pain, give me hurt, give me war
So I can grow
Give me strength, give me hope, give me love
So I can grow
Fooling around
With the bitter souls
Breaking down
As the truth unfolds
You are my saving grace
Give me pain, give me hurt, give me war
So I can grow
Give me strength, give me hope, give me love
So I can grow
You are my saving grace
Give me pain, give me hurt, give me war
So I can grow
Give me strength, give me hope, give me love
So I can grow
Give me pain, give me hurt
You'll see that if I try, I'm gonna be fast and I'm gonna
be sly
You say things should go your way, wishing on a rock or a
stone that you throw away
Push, Push, until you cry
Try to be the best you can until you die
We're wishing our whole lives just to find out who you
Don't you say, You're better off without me!?
This another place for a saving grace
Could you take me back?
This another world, all my dreams unfurled
Could you take me back?
Let's see you come my way
We keep on dreaming and we'll never get home today
And if I'm a lonely man I try to keep on looking or the
best I can
Push, Push until I fall
I wasn't really good, never good at all
See that time when you go
When everybody knows that you're on your way home
What a disgrace that you made
Don't say goodbye
If I had never failed, lost the wind in my sails
Then I'd have never needed redemption, if I hadn't lost my way
I'd have never been saved by an angel and did I mention
It was you? I would have drowned if not for your faith
You gave a lost and lonely
Reason to live and the strength to stand
Where would I be without the love I see?
In your face, you're my saving grace
Love had eluded me, it excluded me
And I'd lost all my expectations, nothing was left for me
I was destined to be alone but my salvation was in you
You saw the hero beyond the fool
You gave a lost and lonely
Reason to live and the strength to stand
Where would I be without the love I see?
In your face, you're my saving grace
It was you, you saw the hero beyond the fool
You gave a lost and lonely
Reason to live and the strength to stand
Where would I be without the love I see?
In your face, you're my saving grace
Take my hand
I know it doesn't seem enough for me to feel it
And understand that I will never be the one who
Traps us in
I know it doesn't seem enough for us to keep it
And seize the day
When I will always be the one who
Takes you for a ride and then decides that
It's not right to keep on like this
I will dismiss all the thoughts and feelings
That consume me
From the very start I saw
The automating
Everybody else to be
The savior of the world
You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
Ooh...
Take my hand
And Know that every second is forever
And don't pretend that I will never be the one who
Loses faith in knowing that we'll always be together
Check my pulse 'cuz I will always be the one who
Takes you for a ride and then decides
That it's not right to keep on like this
I will dismiss all the thoughts and feeling
That consume me
From the very start I saw the
Automating everybody else to be
The savior of the world
You're my saving grace
Stay with me late into this night
Lay with me and I promise to make you feel
Ooh...
You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
In a time where fitting in
is such a crucial part of existance,
self compromise hits an all time high
and self-respect, self-awareness has died.
Why?
Where has integrity gone?
Where has acceptance gone?
Is individuality not beautiful?
(Just another pretty face
in the heaving sea of bodies)
Not you.
Not even human.
Just another mindless drone walking the path of
submission.
Your eyes glazed over
and your mind numbed by years of sedation / submission.
I know that somewhere
down there beneath
that facade lies
a neglected human being.
Just begging to see
the light of day.
Just begging to know
the love of self.
Bring that beautiful complexity to the world.
Give it a new lease on life.
Burn the guidelines.
Burn the pin-ups.
Be yourself.
Not what they want you to be.
Ignore their expectations.
Ignore the lies they tell you.
Ignore your self-rejection.
Ignore them.
Be yourself.
Not what they want you to be.
Be who you are.
Know who you are.
Slave on your knees.
You’re a slave on your knees...
Or maybe your back?
I guess it must just
depend on what takes your fancy at the time huh?
Validation injected below the waist line,
below the 'waste' line.
Euphoric uplift unbeatable.
With fingernails
embedded in flesh
gasping, shaking, weak...
Perfect pleasure alright
but it would seem that
monogamy is monotony
and your thirst is unquenchable.
Drown in your ocean of intoxicated ecstacy
so weak... x4
You’re so much less than you claim to be. x 2
Slave to the world.
Slave to desire.
Slave to selfishness.
Killing your heart.
Killing your freedom.
Killing the gift of love.
Slave to yourself x 2
Slave to your selfishness.
Slave to the world.
Slave to yourself.
I give up on you.
Slave to yourself.
I give up in you...
You were told there was no hope for you
and you believed it.
Raped day after day
by a world that knows little of compassion.
And you conceived its bastard child.
Now inside the sickness grows.
It swells and pressure builds.
You know it hurts you
but you can’t quite figure out why.
So instinctively you drown it in poison.
Poison!! x 4
(But that glamour is temporary
and eventually the cracks begin to show.
You scramble grabbing whatever you can find and hold onto
it until it breaks for the pressure. This cycle
repeats...)
Until there’s nothing left x 2
and you seem to think that there’s but one way out.
Such a shame.
Such a waste of life.
Such a selfish choice x 2
In your own hands
my heart bleeds
For so long x 3
For so long I’ve heard
so many people
crying out to God
for His forgiveness.
They raise their eyes towards
His heaven and cry
out from blackened sinful lives.
When His mercy helps them live
they turn their backs
and fall into the world
You take for granted
the gift of Jesus’ passion
knowing your life
can be redeemed,
but bear in mind
that His return is near
and if your life is anchored by your vices
you will be shunned
for you walked the widest path.
The widest path x 4
Stand ready!
upheld by Christ!!
living the life
He made you to!!
And praise His name!!
To write another song of heartbreak.
To lose the will to live again.
To write another song of hatred.
To feel the urge to kill again.
To feel the urge to kill again.
To feel the urge to kill!
To write another song of heartbreak.
To lose the will to live again.
To write another song of hatred.
To feel the urge to kill again.
The same old tired numbness.
Nothing different but the pen.
I’m bleeding nonetheless.
I don’t think I’ll try again.
Instead I’ll draw close to Christ
and prove myself to Him.
I find me all by myself again
and see that I am free from within.
The urge to seek the comfort of another
angel’s arms has died with everything else...
I’m dead to you...
Solitude is safety
in my own arms.
With tattered wrists and shattered fists I raise my hands
to skies above. On bloody knees I bow before my Lord.
With tattered wrists and shattered fists I raise my hands
above. On bloody knees I pray. On bloody knees I bow
before my Lord. I pray... even as I bleed. Praise be to
you my God. Thanks given to you Jesus. For without
struggle there would be no progress. And without
nightfall the sun’s beauty’d be mundane. Glory to you my
...And then he swore to me.
Swear did he silently.
He’d stay right next to me.
Said he’d be there for me.
And in my times of need
he said he’d give to me
strength I need to survive
the bloodshed of this life.
And the wounds
I sustained
would heal and leave no scars.
He said he’d die for me.
He’d die a thousand times.
This brought tears to my eyes
and I fell to my knees.
I opened up my heart
and let his life consume me.
Consumed my heart
and healed my wounds.
(And after a lifetime of lies and broken promises his
words made my mind swell with love and passion. Into
your arms I commit my life. Into your will I commit
myself. Into your hands I commit my heart. Into your
hands I commit my spirit.)
I gave my life.
My life, my heart, my soul...
And without parting my lips...
I gave him thanks.
I gave him praise.
Saving grace for now
Know that someday, I might seem worth while
Feeling closer now
And the question should be who not how
Know that I'll be there, to catch you when you fall
Know that I'll be there, walk or crawl
Just know that I'll be there
Holding my breath for now
Know that with you I might breath again
Aching just to be beside you
Inside you, in every way
Know that I'll be there, to catch you when you fall
Know that I'll be there, walk or crawl
Just know that I'll be there, yeah
Saving grace for now
Know that someday, I might seem worth while
Aching just to be
Everything and everywhere to you some way
Know that I'll be there, to catch you when you fall
Know that I'll be there, walk or crawl
Just know that I'll be there
I'll be there in body, be there in soul
When the night surrounds you and your feeling all, feeling all alone
I'll be there beside you regardless of miles
I know that I'll see you only forever
Just know that I'll be there
Know that I'll be there
There are the times When I fell like music has a hollow ring There are the days When the air is solid as a stone
You are the saving grace Though day is over I've got your love Love to keep me warm
Everything ends Fades away like a little tear in the rain Nothing is there Though it seems like everything's in place
You are the saving grace Though day is over I've got your love
You are the saving grace Though summer's gone I've got your love Love to keep me warm
born alone, i'm always trying and failing
to escape the slowly sinking feeling
i have worn like a weighted crown of thorns
can we share this burden of being born alone?
we fucking die alone
no words can change what's written in stone
so i fall, fall down to my knees
oh god save me from the hands of my fellow man
but no one can save me from this path i've chosen now
to leave those empty words behind, i can't be saved
crashing bores and lifeless whores, all that surrounds
and the hunter becomes the hunted down, trust in doubt
trust in nothing but a reckless abandon
and the hunter becomes the hunted down, so save yourself
and if you spit, i'll swallow every bitter taste
buried so deep inside of me
this sovereign heart is my saving grace
could never be a part of something more
could never be a part of something worth dying for
and i'll live a life that doesn't mean anything
break the cycle, break those chains
but when i die, you'll sing songs that don't mean anything
break the cycle, break the chains
You had enough, you needed proof.
So you read another book, it changed the way you looked
at things you thought you knew it all.
You moved on, you changed your name, but you always
stayed the same, doubtful of a photograph 'cause images
can change.
To be there is to feel this, is to trust in a power
cause we all need some oxygen we could use each others
mouths.
You breathe in, I breathe in, aaah.
You met new friends, you moved on but you never stayed
in one place.
A fable like a gospel song was calling out your name,
yeah.
You looked inside a looking glass and never quite
understood why preachers preach religion and you just
stood aloof.
To be there is to feel this, is to trust in a power.
Cause we all need some oxygen, we could use each others
mouths.
You breathe in, I breathe in, aaah.
All encounters, epiphanies, all manner of strange
dreams.
You're both the servant and the master of your destiny.
While you looked up, the world looked down just to
admire your face.
But when you're lost, you find someone and that's your
saving grace.
To be there is to feel this, is to trust in a power.
Move forwards not backwards leaving those before us
this moment between then and now.
'Cause we all need some oxygen we could use each others
mouths.
You breathe in, I breathe in, aaah.
Oh, you could be lifted up, lifted up, oh, you could be
Lately Grace hasn't been herself
And he's noticed the change
Like forgetting friends they have known for years and misplacing her things
He'd make a joke; they both laugh
And blame it on old age
It's not funny anymore, She can't remember his name
He believes way down deep she still
Knows is Fourty years of memories
Just can't disappear like this
The doctors say it's hopeless, her
Past has been erased
But he'll spend the rest of his
Life, Saving Grace
Raised five kids on a farmers pay, Vietnam took a son, but watching Grace live like this is the hardest thing he has done
He sits there by her bed sometimes, while she's fast asleep. Tell's her all about herself strokes her hair and weeps
He believes way down deep she still
Knows is. Fourty years of memories
Just can't disappear like this. The
Doctors say it's hopeless, her past
Has been erased. But he'll spend
The rest of his life, Saving Grace
The woman that he's loved for years
Is somewhere trapped in the pain
Tonight he swears she smiled at him and almost spoke his name
The doctors say it's hopeless, her past has been erased. But he'll spend the rest of his life, Saving Grace
He believes way down deep she still
Knows is
