1. The East and The West As I put my destiny in your hands This is so strange but so redeeming I fall to my knees and I cry out In my brokenness Forgive me As I open my eyes I am alive For the punishment has been lifted I have been given grace only a sinner can understand I am free, liberated As the East and the West walk in opposite directions So will I Blow a heavenly wind Carry me in a new direction to you For my ways are below your ways I fall to my knees I cry out in my brokenness Forgive me Send me in a new direction back to you My sins are on the ocean floor Ocean floor

2. Falling Stars The great deceiver leads the elect away With false prophecy and false doctrine And in the end he doesn't care who dies Because in the end we all are crucified Like dominoes their statues fall to your lies Falling, crashing to the Earth Welcome to your temporary inheritance A giant hand sweeps the darkness across And the sheep run but the Shepherd is strong Much of this world caves, and is led away to a broad road Filled with luke-warm waters, drink to your heart's content Oh deceiver, oh liar, oh falling star Your cunning lies are not enough for me I will enter through the gates from where you fell I will walk and live where you will never walk again You are the father of lies, your heart's the birthplace of sin You are the father of lies He will regain all that you stole Where Love is you cannot go Where I am destined you are turned away For the Gatekeeper will not know your face As you have chosen to not know His The gatekeeper will not know your face You are not able to return From where you fell For you have chosen The path of pride that leads to Hell Lies are your eulogy

In Her Heart 02:40
3. In Her Heart If you knew what love was Then you wouldn't have to ask If you knew what love was Then you wouldn't have to ask I'm giving you a chance God is your only chance The prince of this world would have you choose Bitterness, lonliness, emptiness But I know what you're looking for in your heart What you want is not what you need The foundation is cracked Your hope is built on castles on sand But there is a rock built on truth with joy, unspeakable joy A place wherein contentment lies Your brokenness will fade away Your pain will be washed away And in your storm He'll hear your voice He'll hear your voice You will never be alone in this world You will never be alone in your heart In your heart

4. Unconditional When thoughts are pushed away And the blackened backdrop still remains On this clear starry night It's you and only you tonight A question begs What is your hope tonight? Is the emptiness of this life too much for you? When thoughts are pushed away And the blackened backdrop still remains On this clear starry night It's you and only you tonight Have you seen enough now to make you want to change? Who holds our faith in place?  Only one can hold our faith in place For just one moment examine yourself with me There's no one to lie to but ourselves Is this mirror a picture of conviction? Of condemnation or are you free? As water reflects a man So a man's heart reflects a man Who is staring back at you? How far will you run to try and outrun yourself? What is the condition of your heart tonight? The Unconditional

The Doorway 02:59
5. The Doorway What do you wake up asking yourself? Do the questions drive you to the end of this world? There is only One and He will come To separate the wheat from the chaff Where does my destiny lay? In His hands or in my own? Eternal decisions have eternal consequences And this life has only one real question Will you receive life? But your heart is hardened The question is the answer And He will point you to Himself For ask and it will be given unto you Seek and you will find Knock and the door will be opened unto you But will you walk through it? The hallowed ones will wake in the living waters This world dies without the Living God

War Exists 01:46
7.
7. When Darkness Reigns From the beginning this ground was cursed The works of our hands for our selfishness This can't be the meaning of our existence When will the truth be found? You think you're running from a lie But the truth is looking to be found Few will find it in this darkened world When darkness reigns Earth quakes shatter and sin is victorious But only for a moment, only for a moment Dead and risen, He is King Even when the darkness reigns He was betrayed by every man and woman We were the killers of our LORD My sin weighed heavy on your shoulders But you cast it away and remember it no more The violence has begun to fill this earth The prince of this world wears his crown and holds his scepter high Dark clouds remain And this may be The final outpost The final lighthouse The last encampment The darkness reigns But we are victorious
8.
Redeemed 03:01
8. Redeemed You chose me Father out of love In desperation I saw your hand as it reached out To save me, save me How did you see what I would become? My life is a shameful stain with imperfection at my center The god of my flesh reigning over me As you gave me new life And you gave me a new heart As you called me to your mercy And you called me to the light I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ Who died for me and said I'm worthy Who said that I am worthy The only good thing of this life Is Jesus Christ For I am a liar A mindless pleasure seeker Searching for the gratification of the moment The simple answer for today But you know me LORD And you call me yours I am Your child, I am Your child I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ
9.
Compromise 03:33
9. Compromise How can you live with only one foot in the kingdom? The generation will rise and you will fall away The workers are few, the harvest is plenty He calls you now all of the world Turn from this impure love from a harlot's mouth I have not been called to this life with half a heart We have been watered down Burn away my impurities as I move forward I will finish this race that I have started Though the destruction sought me The LORD is strong enough To pull me from the stream of lukewarm unbelief The doubt that leads to the worship of Mammon I will not store my treasures here For this is not my home It's not my home No compromise Brothers and sisters be strengthened and give up what remains
10.
Vessels 03:32
10. Vessels Be pure and undefiled A vessel for the perfect message I will not forget that I am Your witness Keep me close as I enter within this perverse generation To speak of love and truth And as You gave me I will give to You This is the message given through the Son Carried to the Gentiles and multiplied forth I am only a messenger of a Messenger This flesh and blood will carry only truth For my words are unoriginal I'm a lamp post I'm a lighthouse on the shore Calling out to those lost in the darkness My only greatness is the One that I serve But I will boast all the more in it I desire to be known by Him To be recognized by the same Love offered to all The universal, unconditional Love God please send me where you will To all the nations To the ends of the Earth Send me where you will Send me
11.
11. Lies of Grandeur This life is a meaningless vapor All the kingdoms of this world cannot compare To the glory of the Father Blink and it's all gone Why do we waste the little time we've been given? We always turn from the only thing that matters Father give me Your secret joy while I remain here Remind me of the value of my time on this Earth The flash of lightning that we call life For when this life is over let it be said Well done thy good and faithful servant The empty life The empty lie The hollow shells we've become The lies of grandeur All that our hearts chase after cannot compare to What lies in wait for those who truly know You And when it feels so hopeless like we are failing If we don't faint or give in we will overcome Vanity
