1.
I shall be clothed With what does not fade With what can't be taken With what I can't bring I shall be crowned With what I didn't earn With what has more worth Than this world can afford I shall be lifted My sorrow shall turn I shall see glory When my friend returns I'll be His witness I'll share my story I was condemned But now shall live
2.
Handout 01:54
So what if the heavens are full of water The fields been taken with no left overs Your walks' become a harmful strain You thought your faith would make you comfortable What about the stripes hollow bone starvations Shipwrecks and stones, is this at all sinking in If you got it easy whose hand are you really taking from So what if your accounts got nothing in em No human bond your familiar with You got rags for esteem Your drinking low thoughts Bitter is the water from this gold flicker stream Waiting for a handout and calling it salvation When prayer is the hand that holds unto heaven Don't break your teeth on the fools gold Just come freely receive
3.
Severe Mercy 01:59
I spent the worth that was given to me Before the old man had passed With every step I took I didn't look back To afford this mystery I stuck around and kept busy For what was expected of me Not a cent I took not a word I broke To see yourself in me Bless my eyes now I see I'm crooked I'm bent Beneath severe mercy I'm welcome back again
4.
Every body wanted you so everybody had you You gave them your walls They crept in your streams, climbed up your wells Now their lust is your idol Your children don't know my name Your actions never show me So crookedness has their applause You burn all my messengers Say they're in league with the devil Well it takes one to know one There are no virgins there are no princes Who have not been touched You chastise my widows make bastards of her sons Make slaves of my orphans Stand up prepare yourself Stand up you now will be judged If you would turn your ear to me You would hear me sing I gave blood for your ransom I gave everything for your love
5.
Orion 03:08
I look to the given stars to direct me across the sea A crude instrument of peace around my neck lies the Jesus piece And I pray when it takes it seeps in me This guilt has made a coffin I cannot carry If this ship should sink damned be all it carried I saved everything I could that took from my body The abuse of a crooked priest I nailed it to the wood That made you bleed That's why I broke the scent upon your feet So you could drink from the cup I could not drink If this ship should sink damned be all it carried Your shore it pummeled me in your grief I find mercy From the accuser whom I am the chief How you could love me is the mystery Out to sea a white funeral with a reservation a resurrection Just for me When I come to die give me Jesus
6.
I got a mind for walking but I won't walk away I got a mind for talking but you won't hear a thing So you run right into danger, embracing every sin But I won't walk away I got a mind for walking but I won't walk away I got a mind for talking but you won't hear a thing So you run right into danger, abusing every sin But I won't walk away Well my worry is on the way I'm tired of beginning again Well my worry is on the way my Lord I'm tired of beginning again
7.
I looked over Jordan and what did I see A band of angels coming for me They sounded so sweet like trumpets of old Saying look unto Jesus in Him be found Singing look unto heaven He's coming soon Best be ready Beloved He comes quick and does not tarry So I look for new heavens and a new Earth
8.
Still Vacant 02:47
Time's still vacant of the joy we all want to know While we are waiting for the song we all will learn We won't stop aching from the pain of this world It moves and it shapes us till the shards turn to stone There will be a better day Sorrow will fill it's final page I'm a fighter in a crowded cage I don't have the words for the final say We aren't forsaken to the pattern of this world We've been awakened to the love that conquers all
9.
Wayfaring 03:22
I have marked this road with the pain of this world I have stretched my hand and have made you the blame Without a word Caught in the wake of this wayfaring stranger On His way to die Bury me in the wake of this wayfaring stranger On His way to die I'm on my way
10.
God will take care of me through every pain All I have to do is wait He will take care of me through every storm He's the master of every wave When He speaks the wind and the gale obey The ship will stop its sinking And the tempest will be defeated God will take care of me through every storm He's the answer to every prayer
