Castaway 04:27
CASTAWAY June 3rd 2016 Today I am burdened by my sin I am in need of your grace, I’m completely unworthy of it. Sometimes I can’t recognize myself in the mirror I begin to question my life And in many ways, I try to be you Not try to be like you. I pray that one day I will no longer be this wicked I know that you are calling me to yourself And wisdom starts with obedience to you I cannot stop running from you Thank you for always calling me back to yourself I am thankful that it is by your grace that I am saved. I cried out for you to take me And to swallow me whole Who is this man, That I’ve come to know? I keep on running from you But your grace consumes me I'm tired of comparing myself to the man that reflects me So cast me out to sea, all I want is to flee Just let the waves consume me All The waters closed in around me So cast me out to sea So cast me out to sea You are the one that moved mountains before you, You are the one who can part the seas Who am I to think I’m before you? Who am I to think I am king? Who am I to think I am before you? Who am I to think that I am king? Jonah 2:3 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.

Common Grace 04:59
COMMON GRACE Wake up, look around you All that you see is created Even what you use to see How could you look at a sun rise? How could you gaze upon the sea? When you see the stars that kiss the sky And all of the life on earth Yet you deny, the deity of Christ What a kind creator, He has given us life The very breath in your lungs Is a gift of mercy My Friend stop suppressing the truth You know of God You know him to be truth. Just because you say he isn’t there Doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist It’s no different than turning on a light And saying it’s off Start to drink of living water Come to him, you will never starve again He has extended his hands They were pierced for our sins If there was no God, then why are you moral What is the point if we are all just stardust? See stardust has no value just bumping around But you do have Value Just as all humans do Why does it matter when someone steals from you? Why does it matter when someone lies to you? See you know these things are wrong Because He told them to you Why do you continue to walk around Like a walking dead man? When God can breathe life into your dry bones? He is reaching out for you What makes you king? Just look and you will see You don’t make truth Truth comes from God You don’t make truth Truth comes from God The mountains that touch the sky The trees that bury their roots God has made all that is around you And you were made to bear his image You were made for his Glory Yet you deny, the deity of Christ What a kind creator, He has given us life The very breath in your lungs Is a gift of mercy My Friend stop suppressing the truth You know of God You know him to be truth. Just because you say he isn’t there Doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist It’s no different than turning on a light And saying it’s off Start to drink of living water Come to him, you will never starve again He has extended his hands They were pierced for our sins I’m begging you to come to reason Understand the folly of your ways See we aren’t so different I too sin At one time a suppressed it too I loved myself more than others I was enslaved too But God is greater than my sin He has provided a way And that way is Jesus Christ Cast all your burdens on him By grace we are saved Granted at the gifting of Faith Call upon the name of the Lord And know peace for once in your life. Know peace. Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Mud Blood 05:00
MUD BLOOD Who am I? To be in your sight A son of the most high Who am I? How vast are your ways? You Search me You know me You formed my inward parts You know me I praise you How vast are your ways? You Search me You know me You formed my inward parts You know me I praise you Our sons turn their faces And daughters run from grace My heart is broken for them That they may not know you That they may choose destruction I am scared for my Child Being raised in this culture I pray for wisdom I pray for grace Help me to raise my child well I pray you adopt them into your fold How do I be a father In a nation without them Mothers are picking up the slack And I know that I give much slack Help me to be compassionate Help me to know you are God To know that you are good And we are unworthy But in your goodness You have made me worthy By the spilling of your blood You have opened your veins And because of Christ I rest in your grace. I keep running I keep on searching I may never Find my way What grace is this you've given me And yet he gave Himself freely You count my steps You know my inward thoughts You gave yourself How vast are your ways? You Search me You know me You formed my inward parts You know me I praise you How vast are your ways? You Search me You know me You formed my inward parts You know me I praise you God, calm my heart Still my thoughts, my anxiety Remind me that you are God And that you are in control Help me to complete the task in front of me Providing for my wife, and my kids Lord, help me to finish this race strong Help me to share your Gospel Galatians 4:4-7 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. Amen

THE GREAT DEPRESSION Day by day Sin consumes me, And I become restless. I wonder when I will be fully washed of this sin, No longer capable of committing it. Lord, I struggle to know that you are God The one who lead me out of the wilderness. And in the darkest moments of my life When I contemplated suicide. I feel so alone and without a place I feel worthless like a man with no face I am not sure when I will see the day I’m not sure I will make it past tonight I reach out in the darkness Searching for light And after all my searching Something tells me to trust you You give me a new name You give me hope to breathe again What baal’s do I worship now? How can I put them to death? I am restless and need to rest in you Lord, I want to be free, I am restless and need to rest in you Lord, I want to be free, And I am a slave to my sin I may just give in. I may give into my depression God, take these chains They seek to hold me back I feel like these demons Are sitting on my chest I lost my friend And somehow, I feel like I will lose you I’m really not that great I turn everyone way And you tell me I don’t have to be good enough I know that’s why you sent your son But sometimes it’s hard to think When you feel so far from me When will you take me out of the miry clay? Have mercy on me God I don’t know how much more I can take Help me to see the light I’ve been walking around so blind Graves continue to line the ground That I walk And everywhere I turn I can’t run from your sight I’ve been walking around so blind Help me to see the light I’ve been walking around so blind Graves continue to line the ground That I walk And everywhere I turn I can’t run from your sight I’ve been walking around so blind I am restless and need to rest in you Lord, I want to be free, I am restless and need to rest in you Lord, I want to be free, Help me to see the Light John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

PARALLELOGRAMS Walking dead man I am a ghost in the shell Walking dead man I am a ghost in the shell I chase the sun I chase the wind Round and round I go, never satisfied I chase the sun I chase the wind Round and round I go, never satisfied If I could find, something, anything to buy my love I’d gladly seek it Thinking it was enough Walking around in circles, I don’t recognize my own face I might never be happy, if this depression has its way And I don’t know where I am, but I am at the end of my journey As not a soul in sight and darkness consumes me And I can’t look up, because my head is forced down Staring at my own fate, I can’t look past myself And look where that has gotten me Oh God, open my eyes to see Oh God, open my ears to hear Pull me out of this pit of despair I can see my life in front of me And it seems as if others don’t care I’m losing feeling of what I am Oh God, I need you to save me I need you to save me Me Oh God, I need you to save me Save me Walking around in circles, I chase the sun Walking around in circles, I chase the wind Walking around in circles, I chase the sun Walking around in circles, I chase the wind

COMPASSION She sat and stared as if the cold winter air, could provide some miraculous healing. Empty text messages and missed phone calls, they grew a loneliness that she hadn't known was there before. And in all of her searching and longing, she couldn't seem to fill this void. As if every word she spoke shattered in the temperature of the cold. And yet as her breath formed a vapor, there was an awareness of the words that were formed. She felt like the poison would listen, even though it made her go deaf. A comforting idol to fill the heartbreak from before. How could I not look upon her with compassion, knowing her need for something more. I just want her to see compassion. In the arms that were pierced for her. Look and see true compassion and the blood that was spilled for her. He saw grace in an unlikely place, riddled with all of his self-hate. Seeking the warmth of another, someone he was not betrothed to, and constantly he tells himself he's okay. Every night he'd hang his head in shame, how could someone like me be worthy of this grace? When constantly he'd parade around with distaste. Further and further he would seek out through the darkness that's deep inside. And yet in all of his suffering and reaching, a blinding light a hand reaching out in the darkness. I just want him to see compassion. In the arms that were pierced for him. Look and see true compassion and the blood that was spilled for him. How could I not stand amazed? Even in all my suffering. I have been saved to rejoice in the hope of your grace. How could I not stand amazed? Even in all my suffering. I have been saved to rejoice in the hope of your grace. I just want you to see compassion. In the arms that were pierced for you. I just want you to see compassion. In the arms that were pierced for you. Look and see true compassion and the blood that was spilled for you. I just want you to see compassion. In the arms that were pierced for you. Look and see true compassion and the blood that was spilled for you.

ATLAS God chase me, to the end of myself. No longer can I sleep off this guilt. Wake me up to see who you are. Let me see who I am. So that I might try again. I’ve drowned myself, lost in my selfish ways. I’ve held the world in the palm of my hand. My life has become all about me, and not about you My life has become all about me, and not about you God chase me, to the end of myself. Dead in my ways. Awaken my heart. So that I might be a giant of this world. Dead in my ways. I never thought I was worthy of grace. I was hiding in the farthest place. I never thought I was worthy of grace. I was hiding in the farthest place. Your will be done. Your will be done. Your will be done. Your will be done.
