"Illumination"

Looking in the heart I see
The burning fire is golden
Lost between the ferns and trees
'Til I was older
Nobody told me I could be walking with You
Now that You are so close
I need just a whisper

Nothing is the same
Nothing is the same
Since my illumination
Illumination

It's not frightening; no although it may seem
I am strengthened praying upon my knees
You fill me, You heal me

Chorus
"Field of Flowers"

Looking in the times I find
Roses entwined with thistles
Hoping for a better life
Sometimes I'm so wishful

Life isn't always a field of flowers
So if you see some
Place them in a vase
(On the mantle)

Give yourself a little room
Watch it all run past you
Peace will be yours so soon
Uncommon trade for a new view

Chorus
"You're Beautiful"

I'm waking in a cold, cold sweat
Turmoil in my mind
Its dark outside my room confined
To nightmares fear and toil

You're beautiful, come surround me in my bedroom
Bring dreams and a peaceful soul

The trigger pulled
The screen unfolds and I shake all alone
Come Spirit of God, come fill my home
Do to me what You do

Chorus
"Ave"

Move the balance next to mind
Make it near so I can hear
You're the comfort in my soul
You are the ghost of all that is holy

Ave ave ave ave ave
Ave verdum corpus
(Hail the holy body)

Don't leave me in desire
There is a vessel in need of healing
It's been swung from the gallow
It's seen more than it has cared to

Ave ave ave ave ave
Ave verdum corpus
(Hail the holy body)

My flesh, my bones are your home
"Paralyzed"

Paralyzed on the day You caught me by surprise
No I could not run that night
I was hit by a ton of bricks
The fight was against myself
It was my wall that was falling

Good luck
This block is taller than the Eifel Tower
And thicker than the China wall
The bricks are twined like
The tape of politics

You say tumble down
You say tumble down the walls

Ooow don't let the fear get the best of me
Ooow don't let it

Chorus
"Blue"

Sometimes I feel blue
Like I'm miles away from you
And I don't know what I'm to do
Sometimes I feel blue

Looking for the candle
Someone did hide
A river that did flow
Stops up inside
And I feed on the loneliness
It grows to overtake me

Chorus

I know that You have saved me
>From the death of the unredeemed
Wish You would take me
To the place I've never seen
Somewhere to lie down
Before I've been forsaken

Take Your hand, place it in my hands
Take Your hands and place them in my hands

Chorus
"The Day I Die"

I'll be in the arms of my lord
He'll wipe away the water from my eyes

On the day I die, on the day I die

There will be comfort in the singing
There will be green fields I can ride

On the day I die, on the day I die

And if I travel on before you
I'll be with you in a while

On the day I die, on the day I die
On the day I die, on the day I die
"Drink

Drink from the cup of salvation
Drink from the cup of salvation
It springs up from a well
And saves me from the depths of hell

Weep for the sake of this nation
Weep for the sake of this nation
It turns to a vice and runs from Jesus Christ

Speak of the Son's revelation
Speak of the Son's revelation
For the sake of our lives
He hung on a cross and died

Ooohh! Ooohh! Ooh!
