How could I have wasted my heart, On something that took me farther from you You are the cause and I am prevention You distracted me and kept my attention I looked inside and I realized that I hate the man that I tried to hide. The pain inside drove me to pride to be the man he always designed useless attempts are made to personify an image just to come up short and create blasphemy in your eyes Our vision is so far from the truth No picture can portray the depths of your heart, or the complexity of your mind So why do I find myself wrapped up, in obsession with this earthly love My noose is getting tighter My head is getting lighter Humanity's love will fail, but divine love will last forever I don't worship a concept, I follow a king Look into my eyes and tell me that I'm blind By his grace alone I know I can find, I can find, find perfect peace and I fell once before, and I'll never fall again Your walls have built this fortress that is my heart No scheme of man will ever bring me down
3.
What is your life just a vapor One moment here you will never return Where is the time lost in the wind What will remain at the end of my life Breathe in your last breath As the light fades from your eyes this heart Will never be the same Through all the tears pain and regret This vice has taken all that I have left For all the time I wasted in youth There will never be a second chance There will never be a second chance Breathe in your last breath As the light fades from your eyes this heart Will never be the same No more pain No more fear No more pain

I’m in need of extraction I’m in need of a saving grace I’m in need of a rescue when I’ve lost my way Uncertainty Lingers in your body As these thoughts begin to shift in your mind Living in a habitual fallacy Blasphemous realities Blasphemous realities Psychological cycles Extract me from this misery I promise that This is the last time I will not prevail, avail Under this blasphemy I promise that This is the last time Psychological cycles extract me from this misery Break me free from infinite loops Constant gloom I push through the force But I keep failing You are the answer to Fill this heart shaped hole In my chest Ignite my heart My Catalyst For repentance Yeah God’s kindness will shine And His Son paid the price Gotta 180 spin To turn away from sin Your kindness is my catalyst For my repentance I'm in the game, in a chokehold I stifled it In a dog fight with it like Michael Vick With discipleship And my life is this To turn away from everything that a psycho is Not Jeffery Dahmer I'm resisting urges Imma kill my own flesh to fulfill my purpose I'm still a known threat with my skills with verses Built my own rep for His will with service Cause I’m in need of extraction I’m in need of a saving grace And I’m in need of a rescue when I’ve lost my way And I’ve been freed by extraction And I’ve been freed by saving grace I’m in need of a rescue when I’ve lost my way For the most high God Take it to the Westside like I'm "Flygod" "To the east, my brother", when I rhyme hard Save a soul before they end up in a pinebox Uh No Corvette when I ROC(K) With fiery a vision like I'm "Cyclops" I'm entirely different in the nightspots Cause I'm a fiery Christian with a mic drop Cause I represent the God who walked on water I'm excellent 'cause God is great He turned it wine, before it was the water Healed the sick into a conscious state I represent the Christ who took nails in his hands For every single time that I failed as a man But I'm touched by his word like Braille for a chance At a love that occurred when the savior advanced The first shall be last and the last shall be first Turned it "upside down" for a passionate verse "Stranger Things" have occurred when I'm backed by His Word Change your life for a path that's preferred For this, that and the third Is a rap so absurd If it ain't based on the triune God I'm saved with When I "Busta Rhyme" towards Satan "Everything remains raw" cause I'm "Dangerous" Cause I’m in need of extraction I’m in need of a saving grace I’m in need of a rescue when I’ve lost my way Fill this heart shaped hole My catalyst for repentance Extraction Lord Have mercy

The devil's up to something But don't think he is gonna win I know a different ending El Shaddai, the King of kings The government's corrupted They want us to believe their lies A global mass psychosis But we will break demonic ties In the nation, there's a rumble Across the land, there's a rumble In the spirit, there's a rumble Listen, can you hear it? (Listen, can you hear it?) Listen, can you hear it? A darkness permeating Infiltrating through the church As thunderous footsteps echo Angelic armies fast approach In the nation, there's a RUMBLE Across the land, there's a RUMBLE In the spirit, there's a RUMBLE Listen, can you hear it? (Listen, can you hear it?) Listen, can you hear it? In the nation, there's a rumble Across the land, there's a rumble In the spirit, there's a rumble Listen, can you hear it?

Pardon the murderers The journey outside this wall Feet taking to the place of skull What runs to your mind this time? No escape plan just like a madman Torment Child destined for the fall A sign that will be opposed Suffering the call we chose Stripped down into four Exhausted by sorrow Bones are wasting away Bones are wasting away You will come to know who I am The truth has been revealed No limits this is eternal No limits this is eternal Pierced, let blood and water flow Pardon the murderers Pardon the murderers Stripped down into four Exhausted by sorrow Bones are wasting away Bones are wasting away Stripped down into four Exhausted by sorrow Flesh starting to decay Pierced, let blood and water flow Pardon the murderers Pardon the murderers He is buried and on the third day Christ has risen

You will never be whole On your own strength Come as you are A path has been laid A torch lights the way Brighter than the light of day Come as you are Weary and burdened Come as you are Crimson rained down From that cursed tree People from all around Have been set free No price You could pay to wash away The bitter stains of yesterday One man paid The ultimate price To purchase the lives of all mankind Crimson rained down From that cursed tree People from all around Have been set free Crimson rained down From that cursed tree What was once lost has been found Now the blind can see Only one thing To say to wash away The piercing pain of yesterday I surrender I raise my white flag Torn, battered and frayed Clear the haze Clear this haze That stands in my way Crimson rained down To set you free Torn, battered and frayed Clear this haze That stands in my way Renew to live another day Come as you are Repent, believe Come as you are

It's time for something new You can't keep living this way The sin keeps you down Turn the page, it's a new day The sun came up You're still breathing Fold your hands, close your eyes Pray to the King of Kings He knows what you need Before you even say a word This is the answer You have been waiting for When you walk this way You will never be the same When you walk this way You will... You will change Never be the same Water floods to fill The darkest hole The flames surround To cleanse your soul You gave up hope Now removed The Word made flesh came down To make a way for you When you walk this way You will never be the same When you walk this way You will... You will change "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God" (I) Rebirth The flames surround To cleanse your soul Now you walk this way You will never be the same Now you walk this way You are forever changed You are forever changed (You will never be the same) Rebirth _________________ I - John 3:3 ESV

Life A flicker Death In but a single breath Woe to those beneath the sun Who have seen the evil work thereunder Regard my heart In your spirit The vengeance Of the Father I fear it Life a flicker Death In but a single breath Broken vessels Heed the Word Wretch that I am I have no hope In my own works for salvation I’m at the end of my rope
11.
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; He came to love, heal and forgive; He bled and died to buy my pardon, An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! Hallelujah And Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! Hallelujah And then one day, I'll cross the river, I'll fight life's final war with pain; And then, as death gives way to victory, I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns! Hallelujah, You are King. Hallelujah, Jesus reigns.

In the darkest hour, shadows descend A sacrifice foretold, the beginning and the end With a crown of thorns upon His head, a great burden He bears The weight of all our sins upon Him Nailed to the cross, the crucible of redemption Bloodied hands, bearing scars of salvation Sacrificed for love, in His name we find resurrection In the fire and the pain, we're cleansed by His affliction Yeah, yeah He made the sacrifice None could bear The crucifixion of blood The ultimate revelation In the darkest hour, shadows descend A sacrifice foretold, the beginning and the end With a crown of thorns upon His head, a great burden He bears The weight of all our sins upon Him Nailed to the cross, the crucible of redemption Bloodied hands, bearing scars of salvation Sacrificed for love, in His name we find resurrection In the fire and the pain, we're cleansed by His affliction The Crucible Take my sin from me In our darkest hour, the lamb was slain Sacrificial love of the name above all names Crucified Crucified Nailed to the cross, the crucible of redemption Bloodied hands, bearing scars of salvation Sacrificed for love, in His name we find resurrection In the fire and the pain, we're cleansed by His affliction Yeah, yeah His affliction

Sick and tired, can't take this anymore. Find me help now. Pick me up off of this floor. This sickness won't end in death. You will be glorified through it. I never thought I'd walk again (but you called my name and) You, awakened me from the dead. Awakened from the dead! Though they casted stones. Still you came for me. By your light. The path is mine to see. Dead on the inside you said to rise again.

I travel through my life, going nowhere Sin surges in my veins, no remorse no fear I’m entitled to whatever I wish to pursue Even at the cost of you Scorn the wretched Hate the blessed Made to believe that they’re so different Feeling worthless Blind to purpose Denying the truth that everything is temporary I can’t take this with me when I die Searching for solace in a reverie Woke up to find This world’s betraying me Who do I believe And where do I belong So many chances for so many wrongs I’ve been taught all my life that I need to Scorn the wretched Hate the blessed Made to believe that they’re so different Feeling worthless Blind to purpose Denying the truth that everything is temporary This place could be my demise Searching for solace in a reverie Woke up to find This world’s betraying me Who do I believe And where do I belong So many chances for so many wrongs Repentance is a foreign state Lord, I need your grace to make a... Change God, can you hear me...I’m... Searching for solace in a reverie Woke up to find This world’s betraying me Who do I believe And where do I belong So many chances for so many wrongs God can you hear me I am desperate

There is beauty in the sunlight. Casting shadows on the ground. They scatter when you smile. Doors open with the sound of proverbial insight. Pay attention. This isn't a day to forget. Even though you don't remember what it's like because you were flirting with darkness. Everything fell apart. Disintegrating right in front of my eyes. So we are here. Give me something to work with. I'm offering my hand my love. The adventure of a lifetime. Well go dancing in the sons light. Instead of howling at the moon. I can't let you go love. My passion makes this sound. The medley makes you smile. proverbial insight. Pay attention. This isn't a day to forget. Even though you don't remember what it's like because you were flirting with darkness. Everything fell apart.Disintegrating right in front of my eyes. So we are here. give me something to work with. I'm offering my hand my love. the adventure of a lifetime. Well go dancing in the sons light. Instead of howling at the moon. Come on baby let take you down to the water Well go dancing in the moonlight I'll hear your feet tapping on the water As we walk towards the sunlight It's coming closer I see it coming now It's kissing the sky Now we go down If you really loved me you'd be buried with me So you could be raised with me. So we are here. give me something to work with. I'm offering my hand my love. the adventure of a lifetime. Well go dancing in the sons light. Instead of howling at the moon. I am the son You are the moon You are my moon

There's something Inside me Tearing away at Everything blindly Causing disarray In my own life And I Can't stop the Bleeding from in me I can't stop Bleeding I'm lying to myself It's telling me There's satisfaction Brings nothing but death Nothing but anguish I Feel my skin peeling And I can't stop the Feeling Take my flesh From within me You've taken me far But I can't stop feening What did I expect Thinking I can get away With it I can't stop feening Sometimes I feel That I'm good for nothing I hurt You Myself and them Nobody to blame but me I don't belong here What's going on here I'm like a schizophrenic On a world that's coming Down with me I'm lying to myself It's telling me There's satisfaction Brings nothing but death Nothing but anguish And I feel my skin Peeling And I can't stop The feeling Take my flesh From within me It's part of my life Until I die in the end When I get a new body When I get a new body When I get a new body When I get a new body There's a day where I'll get a new

bands break up make music no more first loves fade west ghosts and echoes of closing doors boots marching goose-stepping proud boys just a shell of their yearbook photos evil in the cracks The veil lifts And we’ll bury our mothers Like you buried your brother You were there at the beginning Might as well be there for the end Vanity of vanities The flood comes From the canopy We never saw it, we only felt it When the water filled our lungs There’s a sign downtown I could come up for all the reasons It would never work And they’re all empty
18.
All that could have been was not Ties that bind became a knot I am going nowhere fast I’m the unholy outcast Walking in circles I’m lost again Trapped in this hellhole all I know is pain Broken and torn I’m going insane I need to break these chains I am not safe with myself Bound to these chains I’m lost How did it come to this I’m into the abyss Walking in circles I’m lost again Trapped in this hellhole all I know is pain Broken and torn I’m going insane Just let me go Spiraling down once more I’m all alone Rock bottom so cold it feels like home Before its too late and I won’t wake up again I’ll take my life back and break these chains Walking in circles I’m lost again Trapped in this hellhole all I know is pain Broken and torn I’m going insane Just let me go Let me go Let me go Let me go

Day after day I work in these harvest fields Honest and pure my intentions are, or at least I think so I fight against who I was told to, and follow their lead I believe I am on solid ground, but my house collapsed and I found myself under the sea Many are the ones who have arrived in this place supposedly on solid ground We also thought we were safe Maybe obligated, maybe wanting answers, Some of them found them, some found themselves lost, but we found something more I was betrayed for those who swore to be by my side I was hit by their stones My secrets and my story were used against me Where were you? “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.” Who clothed you when you were naked and found a way to fix the mess? When things don't go as they supposed to When what it's white turns to black Doesn’t mean the story is over There are still many things to learn Redemption comes in unusual ways Where weakness can turn into strength You only can give what you’ve been received Don’t lose your hope Don’t lose your hope Surely I spoke things I did not understand, Surely I did not see that pain is not the end I forgot that even gold has to be refined My view is narrow and also the path That I have chosen, the math we know don’t apply to it Where few can transform the entire world Having stood the test I can be one of them How can we accomplish the task When empty words are more important than an honest heart A tree full of life? or hollow inside? I’m sure there’s something more

Pick up the cross And Bare the weight We head straight to the days of the messiah Even with all the destruction Through fire we will crawl They will test of your Conviction With strength we stand tall Our faith becomes our armour As the cups begin to empty The spears could not be sharper Still they harvest by the tempting Pick up the cross And Bare the weight We head straight To the days of the messiah Destroying all Opposition In his mighty and pure power They will cause rift and division In his presence they will Cower We strive to build the coalition Moving closer to the hour Given this holy mission evil continues to devour Devour! Devour! Pick up the cross And Bare the weight We head straight To the days of the messiah
21.
A mighty fortress is our God A bulwark never failing Our helper he, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe His craft and power are great And armed with cruel hate On earth is not his equal Did we in our own strength confide Our striving would be losing Were not the right Man on our side The Man of God's own choosing You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he The Lord of hosts his name From age to age the same And he must win the battle And though this world, with devils filled Should threaten to undo us We will not fear for God has willed His truth to triumph through us The prince of darkness grim We tremble not for him His rage we can endure For lo! his doom is sure One little word shall fell him That Word above all earthly powers No thanks to them abides The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sides Let goods and kindred go This mortal life also The body they may kill God's truth abideth still His kingdom is forever His kingdom is forever His kingdom is forever And ever and ever Amen
22.
Our worship is warfare We come against the power of bondage We come against generational curses We come against the darkness of depression We come against the forces of oppression We pray with our eyes open These words are ammunition Our voices call for fire To reign down from heaven We sing to break all strongholds Come find some peace for your soul Walls will fall to the ground and chains will break at the sound of your name, Jesus We have overcome not by our flesh but through our prayers Our worship is warfare Claim your authority And watch the devil the flee Clutching the master keys We bind the enemy No demon, no weapon shall prosper Never fearful, never tremble We storm the gates of hell We storm the gates of hell Our worship is warfare
23.
Slipping beneath the surface, into cold eternity, beyond the realm of comprehension out of fathoms reach. Man’s calamitous rebellion, begets false autonomy, sinks into decay Rend your heart. Repent therefore, Rend your heart. and turn again, Rend your heart. again, repent, for heavens kingdom is at hand. Drifting on times oceans, majestic in serenity, beyond mortal opinion, sovereign over thee. Lost in our transgressions, hominum salvator, He will make the way Rend your heart. Repent therefore, Rend your heart. and turn again, Rend your heart. again, repent, for heavens kingdom is at hand. The apple’s wrath is broken. Restoration. Below the surface never drowning, His hand stretched out to those who seek Him. Behold the Lord God in His glory, singing holy. He the one Lamb that is worthy, all creation sighs in restoration. Behold the Lord God in His glory, singing holy, holy.

My voice will be heard They tried to silence me But now I stand in victory With the legions of disciples I’ll raise an army to make war Our sons and daughters will be free Upon this wretched earth Every wrong will be made right When justice reigns supreme We worked the lands With our bare hands Lived hand to mouth for what we earned Through persecution, threats of death Through ethnic genocide, A remnant remains To rise and fight once more Through prayer and supplication Consistent work everyday We will survive this depression We’ll sail across the seas Find a new land for my kin Avenge the lives of our dead Tears run down my face My soul pours out upon me And as I wait for light, there came darkness Cast me not to the grave As my heart turns to mourning My organ is the voice of those who weep I went mourning Without the sun I stood and cried In the congregation I'll hold you tightly Get you through this time Anxiety building Cast your cares upon him Together, let's trust in God He says he won't fail us Though it feels we're wandering through the desert He has our backs, as I’ve got yours When we return home Back to Eden Our children will be free
25.
Oh Lord, my God When I, in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art And when I think that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art How great Thou art, how great Thou art
