Light in Darkness 03:24
lyrics

I see a thousand wandering souls Searching for ways to fill a hole Aimless, they reach for something more When I have the peace they're looking for There is a Light that burns the dark There is a fire in my heart I wanna shine it all around 'Cause there is a Light that burns the dark I've heard that men in days gone by Spoke as a power shone inside I want my heart to burn out bright Like a city, shining in the night There is a Light that burns the dark There is a fire in my heart I wanna shine it all around 'Cause there is a Light that burns the dark We are born into a fight We are beacons of the Light We can reach the thousand souls Show them a way to save their souls There is a Light that burns the dark There is a fire in my heart I wanna shine it all around 'Cause there is a Light that burns the dark

I've been left alone, to walk around the alleys of my soul And I've been left to roam, trapped inside this labyrinth I call home I thought I was a hero, but now I'm sure, I'm the monster My mind is a haunted mansion I can't keep the ghosts inside 'Cause they're screaming all your lies My heart is a torture chamber and I'm the one who's locked inside and I'm chained to all your lies Chained to all your lies And I can feel the weight of the guilt and shame that hangs around my neck, yeah. And I can feel the pain of the ones I know and love who walked away So send in your hero to take me away, I'm the monster My mind is a haunted mansion I can't keep the ghosts inside 'Cause they're screaming all your lies My heart is a torture chamber and I'm the one who's locked inside and I'm chained to all your lies Chained to all your lies Is there no redemption? for my soul, for my soul Is there no redemption? Yeah Voiceover: 'Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? '[Romans 7 v 24, KJV] My mind is a haunted mansion I can't keep the ghosts inside 'Cause they're screaming all your lies My heart is a torture chamber and I'm the one who's locked inside and I'm chained to all your lies Chained to all your lies

Afraid to Love 04:08
lyrics

I’m afraid to love because love escapes my heart too often And I’m afraid to care ‘cos if I cared, my heart would tear wide open ‘cos I’ve hurt so many hearts With Foolish love and foolish care that only left me with more scars And I’ve run away so long From anyone who thought love and care aren’t difficult things at all I’m Sorry Maybe this is who I am I’m sorry If you leave me here I’ll understand I’m afraid to believe Because I can’t trust what you are saying And I’m afraid to achieve because I, I can’t find Satisfaction cos I’ve hurt so many hearts With foolish faith and foolish doubt that only left me with more scars And I’ve run away so long From anyone who thought that faith and doubt aren’t difficult things at all and I’m Sorry Maybe this is who I am I’m sorry If you leave me here I’ll understand What I can’t understand is why I see you with an outstretched hand You’re telling me to rise above it Maybe I could get to see your plan, If I got my head out of the sand, you’re telling me to rise above it I’m Sorry I’m still afraid to love And I’m scared to face the wrong direction I’m still afraid to love But love, oh love is chasing after me

Break the Mould 03:56

There's a heart in the cradle of your bones, And it Screams, like a child, when it gets hurt So you've folded it in blankets of cement Like a tomb, where you'll never work again But life clings to your soul like a disease And underneath, the blood runs through your veins So break the mould and show me who you are beneath it all I know it hurts to see the scars we carry from the fall But now you feel and now you know There is someone who can heal a broken soul A broken soul 'Cause you have run to the arms of stranger men And tried to feel secure in their embrace But when they'd taken all that they could have They kicked you out, to shiver in the streets And that priceless heart of gold is wearing thin 'Cause you've wrapped it up in stone to ease the pain So break the mould and show me who you are beneath it all I know it hurts to see the scars we carry from the fall But now you feel and now you know There is someone who can heal a broken soul A broken soul I'll sing your heart to sleep and I will keep you close to me Maybe you can trust me You can trust me I'll sing your heart to sleep, your heart of gold's worth more to me I won't let go I won't let go' I'll sing your heart to sleep and I will keep you close to me Maybe you can trust me You can trust me I'll sing your heart to sleep, your heart of gold's worth more to me I won't let go I won't let go So break the mould and show me who you are beneath it all I know it hurts to see the scars we carry from the fall But now you feel and now you know There is someone who can heal a broken soul A broken soul There is someone who can heal a broken soul A broken soul There is someone who can heal a broken soul A broken soul, oh a broken soul There is someone who can heal There is someone who can heal a broken soul

You've been fighting for days You've turned out all the lights And you've pushed me away But you're crying tonight Let the truth spill out, you can't hold it inside I'll help you figure it out, I'll keep holding you tonight And when the world caves in, I'll be there by your side I'm not letting go tonight Don't think I can't see all the scars on your arms Don't think I can't feel the pain I've got scars on my heart from you, oh Let the truth spill out, you can't hold it inside I'll help you figure it out, I'll keep holding you tonight And when the world caves in, I'll be there by your side I'm not letting go tonight Tell me what's wrong What on earth is going on? Don't you know that I'm not leaving you alone? Let the truth spill out, you can't hold it inside I'll help you figure it out, I'll keep holding you tonight And when the world caves in, I'll be there by your side I'm not letting go tonight

I'm a shattered jar of clay Moulded in the potter's hands. I had spent my life away A prodigal in far off lands Then you found me Trying to tear myself apart Then you showed me How great a love flows from your heart. I'm a broken vessel I'm a broken vessel Running over with your joy I'm a broken vessel I'm a broken vessel Overflowing with your love, your love. Love that reached into our world Soiled by sin, sickness and strife Love that gave His only son Down to give away His life How He loved us As we nailed Him to the tree He forgave us Gave us life eternally We are broken vessels We are broken vessels Running over with your joy We are broken vessels We are broken vessels Overflowing with your love Then you found me Trying to tear myself apart Then you showed me How great a love flows from your heart, your heart.

Haunted skies Haunted skies Haunted Skies, you're not welcome You're not welcome here Oh desperation what a surprise to see I didn't expect to see you around There's desolation in everything I see It's even inside of me It's killing my world But there's a light at the end of this tunnel I'm in And I'd run, but you're pinning me down Haunted skies, where have you come from? You've no invitation to haunt my heart Haunted skies, you are not welcome So I want you gone from here and leave my dreams alone Oh resolution, why are you late again I don't want to talk again, it's too much Oh contradiction, why are you here again I don't want to say again, I've had enough Where there's a will there's a way And I'll find a way out of this mess that you're drowning me in Haunted skies, where have you come from? You've no invitation to haunt my heart Haunted skies, you are not welcome So I want you gone from here and leave my dreams alone Haunted skies, where have you come from? You've no invitation to haunt my heart Haunted skies, you are not welcome So I want you gone from here and leave my dreams alone Haunted skies, where have you come from? You've no invitation to haunt my heart Haunted skies, you are not welcome So I want you gone from here and leave my dreams alone

Where I Stand 05:10
lyrics

In the dark, I walk alone In empty streets of faceless stone With questions that keep me up at night Are you with me? Could my dreams ever take flight? In the quiet of the night There's a war I hold inside All this fear, and doubting who I am Where are you? Have you left me here to drown? 'Cause from where I stand I want to see your beauty I want to know your touch But you feel so far from where I stand I know that Love is with me, I know I have Love in me, And we'll work it out from where I stand In the dark, Your voice is heard Though I can't make out the words, There is love and peace in who You are There is hope, I see it in your scars 'Cause from where I stand I want to see your beauty I want to know your touch But you feel so far from where I stand I know that Love is with me, I know I have Love in me, And we'll work it out from where I stand But in the Darkness, there's a sound The sound of rain, it hits the ground, and it pours over me In the anguish of my mind, You are standing by my side, And you're holding me, You're holding me You're holding me You're holding me 'Cause from where I stand I want to see your beauty I want to know your touch But you feel so far from where I stand I know that Love is with me, I know I have Love in me, And we'll work it out from where I stand Where I stand Where I stand Where I stand

By the Water 06:53

Walking out along the shoreline, waves are whispering in my ear dreams are washed up on the tideline, heavy swells have left them there I look calm over the surface, peace within is hard to find 'cause there's a current of confusion flowing 'round a troubled mind So take my soul down by the water show me the arms of my Father bathe my soul deep in these waters waters to swim in there's a change in my perspective and I don't know which way to stare I don't know if I believe it I don't know if I should care Where are you when I am searching? yes, I know that you are there Am I running to, or from you? where are you when it's not fair when it's not fair Know that I could never breathe without you Know that I could never sing without you Know that life cannot go on without you, without you, without you Know that I could never breathe without you Know that I could never sing without you Know that life cannot go on without you, without you, yeah! So take my soul down by the water show me the arms of my Father bathe my soul deep in these waters waters to swim in Take my soul down by the water show me the arms of my Father bathe my soul deep in these waters waters to swim in There's a violence to the breakers as they punch into the shore but there's a silence as I wonder if my heart can take much more Is there purpose where you lead me? Or do I have to walk alone? Is there order in this chaos? Is there beauty in all this pain? So take my soul down by the water show me the arms of my Father bathe my soul deep in these waters waters to swim in Know that I could never breathe without you Know that I could never sing without you Know that life cannot go on without you, without you, without you Know that I could never breathe without you Know that I could never sing without you Know that life cannot go on without you, without you, yeah! So take my soul down by the water show me the arms of my Father bathe my soul deep in these waters waters to swim in Take my soul down by the water show me the arms of my Father bathe my soul deep in these waters waters to swim in
