Call You King

You hold our lives in your hands
In ways that we can’t always understand
Your love can be a mystery
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just believe
In the desert
In the darkness
In the silence
You ask me to bring
Yeah, all my questions
In surrender
And call you king
So when we doubt and when we fail
When it seems your love is just a fairytale
Come lift our heads, come lift our eyes
Come remind us of the smile you like to hide
In the desert
In the darkness
In the silence
You ask me to bring
Yeah, all my questions
In surrender
And call you king
When you prayed in the night
Daddy let this troubled hour pass me by
You shed our tears and cried our cries
Embraced the black hole at the heart of all our lives
In the desert
In the darkness
In the silence
You ask me to bring
Yeah, all my questions
In surrender
And call you king
In the desert
In the darkness
In the silence
You ask me to bring
Yeah, all my questions
All my questions
All my questions
Like why did you go?
Why didn’t you stay?
Why did you leave us this way?
Out in the cold
Out on our own
Discarded outcast alone
You say just wait
But we need you now
What kind of fucked up father are you anyhow?
Who pushes his kids
Over the edge
Demanding what we can never ever give
People will say
I’ve crossed a line
That I’ve mistaken your place for mine
But I call this love
And I call this faith
I call it hanging on to the promises you made
And damn you, I surrender
And damn you, I surrender

I try to love you God
I try to love you God
But resentment’s creeping under like a disease
I try to praise you God
I try to praise you God
But the curses drip like honey from my lips
I try to trust you God
I try to trust you God
But I don’t know if you’ll catch me when I fall
I try to need you God
I try to need you God
But a father’s job is to let go of his child
I try to love you God
I try to love you God
Come break my heart so I can love you more

No global power
No human plan
Against your love
Can ever stand
Not one mistake
That we can make
No single rule
That we can break
No great depression
Or divorce
Can stem this
Unrelenting force
Jesus your love is the last word
Carrying us forward
Making all things new
Help us attain this resurrection
To know without exception
There is nothing can separate us from your love
No prison walls
No splintered heart
Can ever tear
This love apart
No secret sin
No troubled mind
No stillborn child
No wasted life
No act of terror
Or of war
Can pin this wrestler
To the floor
Jesus your love is the last word
Carrying us forward
Making all things new
Help us attain this resurrection
To know without exception
There is nothing can separate us from your love
From your love
And when we can’t
Believe it’s true
When we think we’ve
Lost even you
Come trouble our hearts
Come don’t give up
Have mercy on
Our crooked hearts
And do not let us
Be defined
By what we’ve yet
To leave behind
Jesus your love is the last word
Carrying us forward
Making all things new
Help us attain this resurrection
To know without exception
There is nothing can separate us from your love

Turn off the light
This headache is blinding my sight
Give me your wrist
So you can't hurt yourself with your fist
All this fear and doubt
Is just trying to fight it’s way out
This box of stones
Made me feel we weren't alone
Now I can't hide
From this thought that we've been filled with lies
Open your eyes
Pull me inside
So I can
Hide with you my love
When our answers are not enough
When we question all we've seen
Come retreat to love with me
That’s where I’ll be
When you can’t understand
Why we think there is more
Than the sleight of our hands
When the curtain comes down
When silence is king
When people are fools
To believe in anything
I’ll hide with you my love
When our answers are no longer enough
When we question all we’ve seen
Come retreat to love with me
I’ll hide with you my love
When our answers are not enough
When we question all we’ve seen
Come retreat
Retreat with me
Turn off the light
This headache is blinding my sight
I dreamed last night
That we fell through the holes in our lives

Hail
04:49
|

Even when the stars are going out
I will hail you, always hail you
Even when your love it is in doubt
I will hail you, try to hail you
When all I want to do is curse your name
Help me to hail you, always hail you
When every day is exactly the same
I will hail you, try to hail you
Can you hear your people call your name?
In the dark, from the depths, of my heart
I will hail you
With the works, of my hands, my whole life
I will hail you
But how long can I keep this up?
But how long can I keep going without you here?
When all these prophecies have proved untrue
I will hail you, try to hail you
When the promise of our youth has
I will hail you, always hail you
In the dark, from the depths, of my heart
I will hail you
With the works, of my hands, my whole life
I will hail you
But how long can I keep this up?
But how long can I keep going without you here?

Though your body has been split
Though your body it is ripped
Will you still come down to save us
Though your body it is split
Though your body has been ripped
Will you still come down and save us
In your silence we are broken
In your silence we are broken
Under the rejected stone
Please pray our prayer for redemption
Redemption

Take Up Your Cross
05:55

Take up your cross and follow him
Take up your cross and follow him
Your cross of doubt and fear
Of all that you hold dear
Leaves you unwelcome here
Take up your cross
Take up your cross and follow him
Take up your cross and follow him
Your cross of craven lust
The charge in every touch
That never is enough
Take up your cross
Take up your cross and follow him
Take up your cross and follow him
Your cross of awkwardness
Makes each exchange a mess
Fills you with loneliness
Take up your cross
Take up your cross and follow him
Take up your cross and follow him
Your cross of barrenness
The ache inside your chest
That never gives you rest
Take up your cross
Take up your cross and follow him
Take up your cross and follow him
Your cross of failing health
Makes a fool of wealth
Cursing the hand you’re dealt
Take up your cross
Take up your cross and follow him
Take up your cross and follow him
The cross that brings your death
Shortens your every breath
Leads you to holiness
Take up your cross
