Words 03:25
Lyrics: They continued to speak These words that I already know Poking my heart and Exposing my broken soul It's truth that I have fallen And it's been stalling my own growth And with all their talk I couldn't miss Their spiritual analysis But then You came to me in the desert And said You're still in love After all their words were spoken You're the One that truly loves Even after all that I made was broken You never turned away Your trust Your Words broke in Swiftly piercing the depths of my heart Cut to the chase Revealing to me who You are My precious Friend and Almighty Conquering Lion Spreading my wings as a bird Oh how You mend the wounds of yesteryear Restoring my strength with just a simple Word After all their words were spoken You're the One that truly loves Even after all I made was broken You never turned away Your trust And I know how they heard about my history And I heard of how the church talk in back of me My soul went bankrupt but You kept my head up and so I'll forgive 'cause You forgive And You live inside of me And I know it won't be a quick fix but Freedom is better than justice I'll be alright... I'll be all right...

To Do It My Way (free) 04:02
To Do It My Way Michael Whang (2008) I was just a little boy When they threw me in the water Too young to understand The breadth of the battle I was about to engage They just threw me on the stage No one taught me how to dance So I figured it out on my own Doing it over and over again When all of a sudden The zeal of my youth Turned out to be cold I didn't know that I could be so rude That I could be so foolish. Oh Lord, Looking back on this road Can't help but say I never meant to do it my way I never meant to do it my way And I see all of the fingers That people are pointing And you know what I don't blame them anymore Look at myself Caught in the same cycle Opening closed doors Battling hard but Forgetting who I'm fighting for Oh Lord, I know you hear me crying Trying with all that I have To be Yours I know I can't cover my shame but I never meant to do it my way I never meant to do it my way I never intended for my written past To end up like this I've broken so many vows That I made when I was an adolescent For every step forward I stumbled two steps back And it's a miracle both of my feet Are still upon this path So I apologize if my song is too complacent These are the emotions of my heart That's been suppressed in It's not easy being a leader Here inside the church Everybody watching to see you If you hit the dirt But this has been my story Repeatedly over the years Falling and getting up Being the cause of Other people's tears So if I can't smile for my next Sunday Service appearance I'm fighting for my strength And my perseverance Oh but I believe We're moments away From the Greatest Day of our Faith He's coming now... Hold on...

Dream Again 04:06
Lyrics: There was a day when my soul used to dream Of a child who would walk in purity I was driven with an undivided heart For the comforts of this life I paid no regard Day after day bowing to pray So quick to say "I surrender I surrender it all" So how did my allegiance fall apart? What illusions crept inside my heart? How did my songs turn so dissonant? Did i choose to become indifferent? Day after day vowing to pray Swearing someday I'll surrender I'll surrender it all And Your Fire would fall When my soul just turned away There You wept Your tears for me How do I run... From a Love like that Another day and the wind is blowing in Through the gates of shame into my skin And You whisper like a friend That the broken dream again Now to replace all of my shame With highest praise I surrender I surrender it all Let Your fire fall When my soul just turned away There You wept Your tears for me And I will, I will return I will return to You When my soul just turned away There You wept Your tears for me I'm in love With a Love like that I can hear the sound of a coming rain The Earth is about to shake

Closer 02:49
Waiting outside my balcony window I wait for this night Before I go back to bed It’s been too long Since I saw You my Friend Since You called me by name And we ran away Was it something I said? Why won’t You draw near to me? I’m burning again Remember faithfully The words that You said The Love that You promised me I'll pour myself out Until You come to me

He was the first one out the block strong dedicated Young fiery kid going hard never hesitated To get up in the morning for his campus He was calling out for his friends Had a measure of anointing so strong A spiritual leader at a dead church, they would watch in awe As he danced alone to every worship set Never cared what the people said But then the moment would pass When instead of his faith, he started doin the math His heart was cut up in half, he felt used by his pastor, He traded in his joy for man made laughter Burnt out, sold out, gave up, gave in, caved in When the people all failed him Look into his eyes, you could see he's hungry Not for religion but for a good family Young man don't be discouraged Take heart be of good courage Someone sees everything you do I feel the Father blessing you He's a Father to the Fatherless... You've heard the story of a girl without a dad So sweet so innocent but never had A righteous man speaking over her Nobody there to tell her that she was worth A joy, the King's Favorite One But those words are foreign to a girl growing up Without a Father in her corner Nobody there to stand for her. Well, She says, "the whole world's mad at me" She claims a false solidarity And after all the boys threw her to the side She can't trust anybody in her life She says, “It's over” She'll have a little bit of joy and get older Living an ordinary life Pick up a job and be anybody's wife Young girl listen to this story He's all about you and He's restoring Your innocence and your childlike faith Look up, He's making you brave He's a Father to the Fatherless... I pray strength I pray life I pray you feel your Father's heart of Joy and His Delight Pouring down so heavy over you Your Father's proud of you

I Live 04:38
Lyrics: Who was there in the morning To witness the sun shed its first light Who was there in the heavens When the birds sang their first lullaby Who was there to draw the first constellations To a backdrop of a moonlit sky Who was there to applaud the eagle Take off for her first flight Yahweh Who was there when I wasn't aware Of priceless blessings that i had Who was there when I shed my tears 'Cause my grandmother had passed Who was there when I found out My friends were betraying me Who was there when I heard about The church falsely accusing me Yahweh Flowers and melodies Beckoning to wait for the wind It's a Sovereign God who insists On calling me friend I live for the moments When I get to know Him more I wait for His presence His Fragrance is my Reward Who was there when I turned my back to my own moral beliefs Just a little temptation and now I'm all ensnared in hypocrisy Even still when I grip religion and the yeast of the Pharisees Who was there with tears in His eyes, washing my feet Yahweh Strangled and drowning in all my bitterness You sent that Jonah Fish so I could catch my breath I live for the moments when I get to know Him more I wait for His presence, His Fragrance is my Reward I live to know You I live to know You I live to know You more

Lyrics: Everybody victimizing, dramatizing, all the lies and I can't go for more than an extended twenty seconds of "I was told that, they had heard that, she was hurt" So this can't work now Just breathe! They used some kinda reverse psychology Look around and now the whole world's mad at me What's worse - when my hope starts rising I can't help but feel I'm compromising They used some kinda reverse psychology I was just trying to move on when they spotted me What's worse is I hear people crying I wish I would've just stayed silent Paranoid over what's been spoken to my closest friends and Silent treatment, it's some kind of christian confrontation Just this weekend, exposed weakness When I let them peek in on my secrets I'm getting nauseous now I can't breathe They used some kinda reverse psychology Look around now the whole world's mad at me What's worse - when my hope starts rising I can't help but feel I'm compromising They used some kinda reverse psychology I was just trying to move on, and they spotted me What's worse is I hear people crying, now I wish I wish... I wish... I wish that people's speech wasn't always so complicated I wish the vision of my heart wasn't so near-sighted I wish that I could discern my passion from my pride I wish that I was immune to self-motivated lies I wish that I could be an overcomer in the struggle of Trying to decipher these holy people. They surround me. That's the cancer of our Christianity Is your labor for the Kingdom or is it for your ministry? I want to be free from that, I want to be free to laugh With the people of God who absolve the past Too many analytical minds always taking notes Can't we administer grace instead of throwing stones?

Lyrics: When my soul is empty When there is no song to sing When all I feel is nothing When I’m tired, when I’m weak I will seek to find The Author of My Life It’s in times like this that I can prove My undying passion for You When emotions run dry When there is no holy cry I will run Blindly, I’ll press into You When You seem so far Like You’re deaf to this heart that's crying When I feel so alone And my soul begins to groan I will close my eyes For I dare not compromise my faith It’s in times like this the world will come Tempt me to just give You up Oh but I’ve decided to trust Completely in Your blood I will run Blindly, I’ll press into You La da da da da da da... I Love You I Love You in the Sorrow
