Though past mistakes are dead and gone
Everyone is moving on
I feel a weight holding me down
Free as a bird trapped in a cage
The door's unlocked, I could escape
Freedom's smile turns to a frown
But somehow I'm afraid of where I've been
You know the trap I'm in
Somehow I need to break free
From this forgiven sin
I can't go back to who I was
I fear I'll break and tear
I can't go back, he's six feet under
So, here's my plan, I'll leave him there
Though, in the grave he somehow raised
To take my joy and give me pain
He told me he'll steer for a while
And like a fool I gave him the reigns
And all my work was done in vain
To keep my past deep underground
Now I'm done crying I need to pick myself up
And shake off the dust
I'm done lying, I know where I have been
And I can't go back again
I can't go back to who I was
I fear I'll break and tear
I can't go back, he's six feet under
So, here's my plan, I'll leave him there
I can't go back, he's six feet under
So here's my plan, I'll leave him there

It is finished
Christ is risen
He saved us from all our deaths
This changes everything
This changes why we breathe
In all parts of our lives
Because of, because of Christ
It's more than just song
It's more than just praise
It's everything we are
It's what we're made to do
So show us more of You
You change who we are
This changes everything
This changes why we breathe
In all parts of our lives
Because of, because of Christ
This changes everything
This changes why we breathe
In all parts of our lives
Because of, because of Christ

Meant to Rise
03:16
|

Shaking, shaking in my shoes
Breaking, my spirit breaking down
Not knowing what lies ahead
Do I stay here, or forward to I tread?
'Cause I'm meant to rise like a mountain
Never staying in one place
Not knowing where to go
I'll stare my future face to face
Shaking, shaking in my shoes
Breaking, my spirit breaking down
Taking, taking initiative
I'm willing to change the way I live
'Cause I'm meant to rise like a mountain
Never staying in one place
Not knowing where to go
I'll stare my future face to face
I'm meant to lift the morning sunrise
Bring the light to start the day
To receive the evening sunset
Never meant to stay
Taking, taking initiative
I'm willing to change the way I live

Sunny Days
05:29
|

It's okay for rain to fall in sunshine
Even when it starts to pour
And cloudy days aren't meant for tears
They're here for so much more
So when tiny raindrops fall your way
And the sun shines in your darkest place
It's okay to be sad on sunny days
The skies are dark
The sun is hiding
Blue skies seem so far
But if you look
A little closer still
There's sunlight in your heart
It's okay for rain to fall in sunshine
Even when it starts to pour
And cloudy days aren't meant for tears
They're here for so much more
So when tiny raindrops fall your way
And the sun shines in your darkest place
It's okay to be sad on sunny days
The skies are bright
The dark is hiding
But something feels so wrong
You can't shake
The feeling of sorrow
It's okay for tears to fall
It's okay for rain to fall in sunshine
Even when it starts to pour
And cloudy days aren't meant for tears
They're here for so much more
So when tiny raindrops fall your way
And the sun shines in your darkest place
It's okay to be sad on sunny days
It's okay for rain to fall in sunshine
Even when it starts to pour
And cloudy days aren't meant for tears
They're here for so much more
So when tiny raindrops fall your way
And the sun shines in your darkest place
It's okay to be sad on sunny days
It's okay to be sad on sunny days

Simply, I Love You
04:18

I searched the universe to hide my shame
Ashamed to show the world I stained my soul
Bloodstained, I through myself at Your feet
I thought that I was dead for sure
But even in my wandering
Even in my hate
Even in my bitterness
You stay the same
You love me
You died for me
I love you, simply I love You
It's as easy as it could be
Even in my wandering
Even in my hate
Even in my bitterness
You stay the same
You love me
You died for me
I love you, Simply I love you
It's as easy as it could be
In anger I have said some awful things
I can't believe the words came from my tongue
I feel I ruin almost everything
But I have grace now through Your Son
Even in my wandering
Even in my hate
Even in my bitterness
You stay the same
You love me
You died for me
I love you, Simply I love you
It's as easy as it could be
Even in my wandering
Even in my hate
Even in my bitterness
You stay the same
You love me
You died for me
I love you, Simply I love you
It's as easy as it could be

As I Am (Acoustic)

I sing every week to whatever song plays
I sing of Your love, Your refuge and strength
I lie to myself, saying "This, I believe"
Yet, when the storm comes and I"m given Your strength
I've lost all my joy and I long for Your face
I lie to myself, saying "This, I believe"
Here I am coming to worship You
I wish there was more I could give
Here I am giving my all to You
So here is my life, here is my trust
Take everything
And when the storms come and I'm robbed of Your joy
I've lost all my pride as depression employs
I lie to myself, saying "This is who I am"
But, You see the truth and the beauty inside
You sent down Your love, in my heart it resides
You tell me the truth, saying "This is who I am"
Here I am coming to worship You
I wish there was more I could give
Here I am giving my all to You
So here is my life, here is my trust
Take Everything
Here I am coming to worship You
I wish there was more I could give
Here I am giving my all to You
So here is my life, here is my trust
Take Everything

Actor
04:46

All you seem to do, is reveal
And all you seem to do, is stir up trouble
You don't realize your words have a bite
You can't realize I'm crushed inside
'Cause you taught me to be
An actor, and actor in defeat
And the scars you left on me
You'll never, you'll never see
'Cause I'm an actor in defeat
There's no warning before the hellhound bites
And it leaves a nasty open wound
There's no blood, there's no signs of life
In this lonely, prison-tomb
'Cause you taught me to be
An actor, an actor in defeat
And the scars you left on me
You'll never, you'll never see
'Cause I'm an actor
I'm an actor in defeat
You have no idea how it hurts
The words of which you say
And did you honestly think I never cared
of the friendships you betrayed
And this pet hellhound you left untrained
It's reign has been prolonged
And all this time, you never thought
This hound could be your tongue
You never let me go
You never let me go
I'll never let you know
The pain I will not show
'Cause you taught me to be
An actor, an actor in defeat
And the scars you left on me
You'll never, you'll never see
'Cause I'm an actor
I'm an actor in defeat

This Changes Everything
03:28

This changes everything
I mean, Christ is to who my praises ring
He’s the living water and the bread of life
That he came down and died so our lies and our sin
would not condemn us, but so that we could live again
And this changes everything
I mean, Christ changed my music taste
He made love and forgiveness out of my pride and my hate
And he changed my friend selection
With His perfect resurrection
But did he really change me?
And this is the common misconception
That yeah, Christ died and was resurrected
And he took my sins, and your sins, and his an hers
And he saved us from death, but you can never be sure
And this is the common misconception
That even though Christ saved us when he resurrected
That we have to live a life of ultimate perfection
Or separation will take its place again
We view salvation as a temporary trend
So, right now, i need you to take every lie Satan has whispered in your ear
I need you to forget them so you can truly hear what i’m about to say
Christ. Changes. Everything.
Not just your best friends or your favorite bands
He changes your very soul with the nails that pierced his feet and his hands
He changes what you’re like
Who you are
Not your clothes
Not your cars,
He made the stars
Yet he took our scars
And we find it so bizarre
That scars can go away
We think that grace can’t cover our mistakes
And how selfish of us to think that way
Like we even deserved it in the first place
But, according to Ephesians 2:8, it is by God we are saved
It is through His grace, and his son who has raised
We are saved! We are saved!
We should be shouting it from the mountains!
We are saved!
Christ is risen, our sins are now paid
He conquered the grave
He freed the enslaved
Through Him we’re eternal, and forever He reigns
Satan’s been slain, God’s glory is praised
Singing “Holy! Holy! He’s beaten the grave!”
Yet….
we continue to stain
His perfect, matchless, glorious name
By living lives of mediocrity
By living a life full of shame
By living a life with one foot in the water
Where we starve our souls and leave our hearts depraved of the father
Ashamed to come to him
For we see ourselves as worthless scoffers, with nothing to offer
My friend, That is one of Satan’s deceptions
You are made whole through Christ’s resurrection
And i mean, sure, we’re not perfect
But that’s why He had to be
Blameless he took our sins so our souls could be set free
And all we need is the faith of a seed
To let Christ take ahold and turn our faiths into trees
But it’s all up to you
God wants your love for Him to be so strong, faithful and true
So you have to choose!
You can’t halfway dive off a diving board
You can’t, half-hit a home run to add points to your score
It’s all or nothing
You’re hot or you’re cold
You were bought at a price
But you decide to be sold
Christ really does change everything
He can change you too, but you have to choose
You need to make the choice
To let Him save you from death
and watch as angels rejoice
