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

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

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

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 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
