The Path
The Ascent (Day 5279)
How can we march ahead
With our frostbitten lungs in the cold wind
No time, no quiet, no rest
And I can’t see the end
Postage
So many days since the grass turned brown
Well it’s dead now
I used to wait at the door somehow
But you moved out
Postage is a twenty dollar bill
To send the letters I’m holding onto still
Across the ocean and above the hills to get to you
If I pretend you’re here, would it hold me?
If I pretend you’re home, would I still be lonely?
This empty house feels strange, like it’s not mine
Staring at the calendar and counting time
Till you come back
Several months since anyone has seen a smile
That’s not an act
Postage is a twenty dollar bill
To send the letters I haven’t written still
Across the ocean and above the hills to get to you
If I pretend you’re here, would it hold me?
If I pretend you’re home, would I still be lonely?
This empty house feels strange, like it’s not mine
I don’t need you here
Maybe this is good for me
I don’t need you home
I’m probably meant to be alone
This empty shell feels scraped from the inside
I’ll be fine
Yes, I’ll be fine
I said I’ll be fine
I said I’m fine
I have come to the conclusion
In isolation there’s a lesson
This sense of empty is illusion
To feel alone is to forget Him
Don’t fear the path though it’s cracked and secluded
I know you feel lost and unattached but it gets better in time
Idle
Sunset hits the water
Normal day like any other
Circle round, repeat, the same
In a world abundant
Feels like I have nothing to say
Idle as I’ve ever been
Hoping that my past successes
Will carry me through the day
Pressure drives the motivated
But, as for me, I tend to hate it
Pressure drives my will to fray
Even if we know that we chose the right path,
Faith against time is a drag to grind through
Even if we’re honest, we won’t let it rest
We learn in time to open our hands
And when the volume lights sit idle
Start it up again
Withered in the bitter winds’ whip
Ever-thinning my resistance
I’m ready, let me go to rest
I’ve blocked out all the world
In my need to be secluded
A need to find my roots again
Write me a list of reasons
Why I should keep from leaving
I need to see it on the page
‘Cause failure forgets the efforts made
The energy, the hours paid
Are we gonna let it go to waste?
Even if we know that we chose the right path,
Faith against time is a drag to grind through
Even if we’re honest, we won’t let it rest
We learn in time to open our hands
And when the volume lights sit idle
Start it up again
Even if we know that we chose the right path
Faith against time is a drag to grind through
Even if we’re honest, we won’t let it rest
We learn in time to open our hands
And when the volume lights sit idle
Start it up again
When the volume lights sit idle
Start it up again
Take a deep breath and start it up again
Enough
Heat under pressure bound to blow
Reared up, intent to go
Caught me off guard, it built up slow
Till screens couldn’t hide the smoke
You see, I’m made of rock
With a touch of hot lava
And if I erupt at the wrong time
We all go up
So what if I can’t — I can’t help it?
Can you see?
It’s obvious that I can’t help it
Ticking atomic clock inside
Fine-tuned and wound uptight
Years spent between the click and chime
Gears clocking overtime
I’ve had enough
So what if I can’t — I can’t help it?
Can you see?
It’s obvious that I can’t help it
My head spills out of my mouth sometimes
When the progress meets the brakes
Please be patient, I’m invested in the bottom line
But it’s getting hard to wait
So what if I can’t — I can’t help it?
Can you see?
It’s obvious that I can’t hold it in
Django Fett
As they dish, they say we’re different
I’m all for it, I want to be remembered
Duplicate, repeat the same thing
It’s so boring playing in a box
Picky, picky, can’t quite pin it
I’ll admit it’s happening again
Losing touch with tired traditions
Set a new beat, make you feel it
Shivers of a rhythm creeping up your spine
Don’t be shy, we won’t bite
Let the music take you to the place you like
Clap your fives in time
Write, review, and change our minds
A hundred times to get it right
Learn to love when you don’t hear the same thing twice
Diverse by design
Got the riff raff, got the good kids
Got the ones who never quite fit in
No news to you, it’s what you’re used to
Changing tunes to reach the masses
Now we’re all in, party’s happening
Stage is set, the crowd is settling
When the lights hit, raise your voices
Raise the roof, raise up your hands
It’s shivers of a rhythm creeping up your spine
Don’t be shy, we won’t bite
Let the music take you to the place you like
Clap your fives in time
Write, review, and change our minds
A hundred times to get it right
Learn to love when you don’t hear the same thing twice
Diverse by design
Are you alive or dead?
Lose your mind, don’t lose your head
Alive or dead
Are you alive or dead?
Lose your mind, don’t lose your head
Alive or dead
Shivers of a rhythm creeping up your spine
Don’t be shy, we won’t bite
Let the music take you to the place you like
Clap your fives in time
Write, review, and change our minds
A hundred times to get it right
Learn to love when you don’t hear the same thing twice
Diverse by design
Oh, Shivers of a rhythm creeping up your spine
Don’t be shy, we won’t bite
Let the music take you to the place you like
Clap your fives in time
Write, review, and change our minds
A hundred times to get it right
Change up our routine and don’t apologize
Diverse by design
The Path
Years up in the mountains
Face into the headwinds
I thought we’d reached the peak
And then a thousand miles ahead
A thousand more again
Worn down and out of it
I can’t see the end
Can’t find where we began
The air is thin
We’re pressed to forfeit
But take the next step
Deep breath; we march ahead
Hands up to the One who leads us in
Hold tight, it’s not the end
And this is worth the risk
Heads up, hear the war cry
Sword drawn in a gunfight
The battle lines close in on every side
Our bodies stiff and tired
We just climbed a thousand miles
But we were born to fight
As long as we’re alive
The war begins
Farewell, I’m off again
It’s time to fall in
Deep breath; we march ahead
Hands up to the One who leads us in
Hold tight, it’s not the end
And this is worth the risk
Dim the lights
Bring in the fight
Let trials arise
We’ll be fine
Mend the apathy
Revive the fight in me
Light up the life in me
I could go on forever
Deep breath; we march ahead
Hands up to the One who leads us in
Hold tight, it’s not the end
And this is worth the risk
The Highest Praise
Highest
Nothing can stop Your heart from choosing me
No one can take the grace You’ve given free
Jesus, Your joy, Your light is changing me
No one can turn the page You’re writing
Above all I can think all I imagine
No one can close a door that You have opened
I trust in The One who shaped the world and let it breathe
I trust in The One who knows the plan He has for me
Who set the depth the limits of the sea
Who’s breath who’s voice who’s life made everything
All that we have in us is Yours to keep
No one can turn the page You’re writing.
Above all I can think all I imagine
No one can close a door that You have opened
I trust in The One who shaped the world and let it breathe
I trust in The One who knows the plan He has for me
God in the highest place, Give Him the highest praise
Above all I can think all I imagine
No one can close a door that You have opened
I trust in The One who shaped the world and let it breathe
I trust in The One who knows the plan He has for me
Drought
Your face reflected by the moonlight
Illuminates to guide me through the dark
You mend my soul and lead me to Your safety
I’m in Your hands; I’m on my knees, so take me
I hold onto faith; seeing’s not believing
And call on Your name, Your arms are my refuge
So bear me a little closer; God, my strength is fading
But I’m still in your hands, I’m on my knees; I’m praying
I’m laying myself down; I am Yours
When I’m damaged from the drought, I am Yours
When life fills with loss, I know I must exchange it
My life for the cross, my eyes locked onto You
But it’s so hard to stand on faith when I am shaking
I bow to Your plans, I’m on my knees, God, take me
I’m laying myself down; I am Yours
When I’m damaged from the drought, I am Yours
When the words aren’t on my mouth, I am Yours
When my heart is inside out, I am Yours
Through it all, You’re the stronghold I’m bound to
You’re singing over me, “I will always surround you”
I’m laying myself down; I am Yours
When I’m damaged from the drought, I am Yours
When the words aren’t on my mouth, I am Yours
When my heart is inside out, I am Yours
Blaze
Bound to the grave but now I'm free
You rescued me You broke the bonds Of slavery
This liberty Has freed my feet
Who is worthy? Who is like Him?
None among all of the nations
We’re enraptured, filled with excitement
You inspire our feet to dance
You inspire our feet to dance
Build up the blaze in my spirit
I wanna dance, dance for you
Lift up the praise, let Him hear it
We’re gonna dance, dance for you
Joy fills the air erasing fear
Lord, we’re free from the mountains To the sea
And all between Your name’s resounding
Who is worthy? Who is like Him?
None among all of the nations
We’re enraptured, filled with excitement
You inspire our feet to dance
You inspire our feet to dance
Build up the blaze in my spirit
I wanna dance, dance for you
Lift up the praise, let Him hear it
We’re gonna dance, dance for you
We’re gonna dance, dance, hey, to the fire within
We’re gonna dance, dance, hey, gonna dance to the fire
Who is worthy? Who is like Him?
None among all of the nations
We’re enraptured, filled with excitement
You inspire our feet to dance
You inspire our feet to dance
Plan
Beginning all with just a word
You built a world of truth and life
Though serpent came to steal and kill
In vain attempt to quench Your light
Your people you have sworn to save
To lead them out of desert land
When enemies like oceans rage
Deliverance is close at hand
Oh, hallelujah
The Earth’s in Your hands
No plot, nor scheme can
Overcome Your perfect plan
Through Moses You had freed the slaves
And through Elisha showed Your power
Through Solomon brought glory days
Though none of these could match the hour
When hung upon that cursed tree
Our Savior took the sin of man
And death itself to pasture. He
Fulfilled the Father’s promised plan
Oh, hallelujah
The Earth’s in Your hands
No plot, nor scheme can
Overcome Your perfect plan
On that grand, majestic day
Christ will return with many crowns
The scars of love upon His face
As justice reigns and trumpets sound
And everyone will know Your name
Your faultless love will mend the flawed
And there’ll be nothing left to say
But “Holy is The Living God”
Oh, hallelujah
The Earth’s in Your hands
No plot, nor scheme can
Overcome Your perfect plan
Rest
Lord, we are comforted
Oh Lord, we are comforted
When our days are long and walk is hard, You are the rest we truly seek
Oh Lord, We are comforted
Can I live here,
At rest in Your sweet embrace,
In the arms of The Father’s Grace?
Lord, You are ultimate
Oh Lord, You are ultimate
When our enemies advance around, You bring us to a lofty place
Oh Lord, You are ultimate
Can I live here,
At rest in Your sweet embrace,
In the arms of The Father’s Grace?
You are the one I love
And it does not get better
No, not much better than this
In the rampart of Your feathers
You are with me through it all
And when I call on Your Name
You lift me up above
And bring me to Your shelter
No terror in the night
Nor arrow in the daylight
Could wrench me from Your grip,
Unshakable Protector
Can I live here,
At rest in Your sweet embrace,
In the arms of The Father’s Grace?
Lord, You are ultimate
Oh Lord, You are ultimate
Lord, You are infinite
Oh Lord, You are infinite
Promise
I feel You wrap around
Always embracing me
I hear the sound of all the hallelujahs
From angel choirs
Come down to earth to sing
All my life, I want to worship
Everything inside me is shaken up
You look into my eyes
And all the words I once thought
Could describe You are
Not enough to paint the picture
(All my life) Your name is on my lips
(All my life) If I have one promise
(All my life) Your name is on my lips
(All my life) I will promise this
Everything inside me is shaken up
You look into my eyes
And all the words I once thought
Could describe You are
Not enough to paint the picture
Artist of the sky, with those same fingertips
You weaved my life
So every cell that I have will glorify forever
The One who spoke the stars to light
(All my life) Your name is on my lips
(All my life) If I have one promise
(All my life) Your name is on my lips
(All my life) I will promise this
Singing, singing
Every word with all my heart
I’m mystified, amazed
When I think about who You are
(All my life) Your name is on my lips
(All my life) If I have one promise
(All my life) Your name is on my lips
(All my life) I will promise this

For Thine is the kingdom, the glory, the power forevermore

Fill every thought, every wish, every dream
So I may know my Lord, so I may know You more
