All Moments - Lyrics
FAULT LINES
We are Treasure,
hiding and shining.
We are Hostages
captive. alive.
We’re falling down, but crawling toward your beckoning
until we hear your mystery, your bellows.
Over the mountains,
through the shadow
and through the shade
We hear “Do not be afraid”
There is the voice worth listening
syllables in your soul
there is the love worth mimicking
the embracing of another
There is an eye on everyone
hiding in every hole
Until the night has been turned to day
I am reaching for my brother
We are Fault lines
Splitting and shifting
We are Islands
connected below
We’re falling down, but crawling toward your beckoning
until we hear your mystery, your bellows.
Over the mountains,
through the shadow
and through the shade
We hear “Do not be afraid”
There is the voice worth listening
the syllables of your soul
there is the love worth mimicking
the embracing of another
There is an eye on everyone
hiding in every hole
Until the night has been turned to day
I am reaching for my brother
You are
The source that satisfies
and you’re still hard to recognize
You are
clarity to my sight
and you’re still hard to recognize
Though you’re
so over advertised
you are so hard to recognize
BOTTOMLESS
If I walk onto the waters, I would sink
When I stare into the eyes of God, I blink
When you show me your forgiveness, I show blame
I am running from the person that you’ve claimed
Would you let me see outside of
what i’m seeing through these eyes
Oh how you see through
I am focused on the constant mass of sin
it is written on the very life i’m in
If I go to take a step of faith, I stand
all the evidence that I’m a fallen man
Would you let me see outside of
what i’m seeing through these eyes
Oh how you see through
You are a God of heavenly size
with no ending and with no start
you see with endless eyes
and you have a bottomless heart
I can be so mad in my mind
waiting for your plans to unwind
but you love me every time
cause you have a bottomless heart
I am falling to my knees and I need help
and the book I want to read is on the shelf
for my name, I will go most any length
with the occasional “Jesus be my strength”
You are a God of heavenly size
with no ending and with no start
you see with endless eyes
and you have a bottomless heart
I can be so mad in my mind
waiting for your plans to unwind
but you love me every time
cause you have a bottomless heart
LOVER
Will you be the strength to face the day?
will you be the hope that I am watching, waiting for
and disperse the clouds that fill my sky
Charging through the crowd and all the ways to qualify
You are a God that never runs
so keep us inside your heart and mind
the way you see from where you are is a comforting kind
perspective of time
I am slowed my walk is weary
but you have stayed beside me
you the always faithful, Invincible lover
we share hope in one another
relying on your power
forever I am with you
we believe in each other
Should my selfish heart begin to swell
you have got the power to rein me in and reign again
and restore in me the joy of day
you are always near and you are oh so far away
This is my autograph
this sinful state
but you’re reading what
it doesn’t say
You are clamoring out a different name
You are clamoring out a different name
it’s not the good or bad
that I want to do
that gets me close or far from you
but you authored this new identity
you have offered this greater life to me
I am slowed my walk is weary
but you have stayed beside me
you the always faithful, Invincible lover
we share hope in one another
relying on your power
forever I am with you
we believe in each other
NORTHWESTERN
You see my wandering heart inside my chest
you know my anxious thoughts and wish me rest.
we know these ravenous roads surround
Every ear is ringing with the looming sound
Though dense and heavy conditions thrive
I get a feeling that we’ll make it out alive
Too often we’re wishing the night away
but without it we wouldn’t define the day
I am sitting in silence atop stormiest seas
and I wait for the waters to wash over me
You see our struggles and our sorrow
I am already on my knees
I am an echo of the hero
who faced the fires before me
He is the arbiter of comfort
making his place in the unknown
I see the footprints of the hero
this is the pathway to his home
You see my wandering heart inside my chest
know my anxious thoughts and wish me rest
when we are crashing as waves along the shore
we’re grasping the God who broke before
Can we stand as a people
finding peace with our lot
can we suffer in stillness
believing we’re bought
You see our struggles and our sorrow
I am already on my knees
I am and echo of the hero
who faced the fires before me
He is the arbiter of comfort
making his place in the unknown
I see the footprints of the hero
this is the pathway to his home
You will catch the pieces of my heart
so I need not fear the fall apart
you will count a million of my tears
you will whisper worth into my fears
I have hope in the darkness
recollection of light
you have loved me in my ignorance
Oh restorer of life
WATER/BRICK
This is a vacated town,
where simple sorrows are found
longing for our pension.
We make no garden or grove
there is no channel or cove
Such a dry dimension
Give us intervention
He whispers his love through desolate lands
And gives us the most unthinkable chance
Beyond barricade through river and wall
I’m grasping your grip, surviving the fall
We owe an incessant wage
that only one can assuage
hastening the medicine
So cracks and slivers in skin
be mended outside and in
Offer your attention
Greatest reinvention
He whispers his love through desolate lands
And gives us the most unthinkable chance
Beyond barricade through river and wall
I’m grasping your grip, surviving the fall
THE UNLIKELY
Spirit of all might
who races toward the lost
Backer of our bliss and knower of our cost
keep us in your heart
and keep us in your mind
Press us through our fears
and counter the decline
You made the galaxies to dance for you
Your massive majesty will pull us through
When I am dizzied by my darkest days
Help me not to see you sideways
Lead me to the light in your way
Spirit of all love
and opener of doors
Watcher of the waves
And guardian of shores
keep us in your sight
when ocean billows roar
show me all the reasons
I know I am yours
I know I am yours
You made the galaxies to dance for you
Your massive majesty will pull us through
When I am dizzied by my darkest days
Help me not to see you sideways
Lead me to the light in your way
You are bigger than the god I trust
you love to do the unlikely
slowed - just to plant the guarantee
The promise you’re always with me
You are bigger than the god I trust
you love to do the unlikely
slowed just to plant the guarantee
The promise you’re always with me
You promise you’re always with me.
You made the galaxies to dance for you
Your massive majesty will pull us through
When I am dizzied by my darkest days
Help me not to see you sideways
Lead me to the light in your way
LET’S RUN
Though I will walk through fire, and I will crawl in mud
I’ll never shake the sacrifice of blood
You are the strongest and you are my promised Lord
In every darkened dwell
and every shadowed den
My God will spread like fire to the meadows end
You are the strongest and you are my promised Lord
I’m beginning to make sense of all the ways you show
the unending love for us - Perpetual hope
Holding the hearts of the broken
seeing the souls of the poor
you hold the hands of your children
and lead them to victory’s door
Maker of beauty and purpose
You see the stars from above
I am a new transformation
Knowing the founder of love
So I will fight the flood
and I will run through rain
You send the current rushing through my veins
You are the strongest and you are my promised Lord
When we are trained by trial
and we are forged by flame
then we can rest our eyes on heavens claim
You are the strongest and you are my promised Lord
I’m beginning to make sense of all the ways you show
Your unending love for us - It carries us home
Holding the hearts of the broken
seeing the souls of the poor
you hold the hands of your children
and lead them to victory’s door
Maker of beauty and purpose
You see the stars from above
I am a new transformation
Knowing the founder of love
O to taste the sweetness of your remedy
O to see beyond the great divide
O that you’d include me in your legacy
O that you would call me to your side
Until our worlds collide
and this drop of life will not vanish on the ground
but it will land in place in your raging seas! Let’s run!
To the lonely with the broken hearts - Let’s run!
To the desolate and cast aside - Let’s run!
Let’s run to the cynics who misjudge his heart - Let’s run!
Let’s run to the wayward with the hateful minds - Let’s run!
When my flesh does fall
and my eyes have closed
You will light the long and crowded road
you are the strongest and You are my promised Lord
WANDERING
Will you let me see
will you let me see
The ways that I am shaping you
to look a little more like me
Will you show me how
Will you show me how
how I have turned away from you
and focused on the now
Will you show me how?
Will you show me how?
Will you help me find
Will you help me find
a heart that heeds your promises
embracing the design
Will you let me know
Will you let me know
The ways that I’ve been strangling
and ways I should let go
Will you let me know?
Will you let me know?
You are never startled when I try to pull away
you meet me in the black and in the grey
Though I do my wandering
You are never far
Go in front and back of me
Stay just where you are
Though I do my wandering
You are never far
Go in front and back of me
Stay just where you are
GORDON JACKSON
Gather every arrowhead
that can pierce through death and reach the dead
so that we see you now as you may allow
we will find you
Scour every scope and sight
That can move from blindness back to sight
and then we look around, see where you are found
we will find you
You are reaching out to your heirs
Night can’t veil the flash your flares
We have been constructed to shape
Steps to scale the greatest escape
Break the cages where we hide
That we may stand up at your side
Domination of an unending love
We will find you
You are reaching out to your heirs
Night can’t veil the flash of your flares
We have been constructed to shape
Steps to scale the greatest escape
Carry fire as we go
and every heart will overflow
we are not the same, once we touch the flame
once we find you.
So when you move then all
I will need to know
show me where to go
show me where you go
THE ONLY OPENING
I have seen my structure and its falling apart
only I can know the darkest parts of my heart
every inclination moving me towards the fall
helping me to see the ways you carry us all
All is forgiven
Everyone’s story is a little bit different
All is forgiven
Ask me if I need it.
and that’s the reason that I believe
this safety is a facade
I relinquish reservations
while I am chasing.
We prefer the solitude of being unknown
born into a world we try to conquer alone
murmuring the mantras our society sings
striving for the liberty to clip our own wings
All is forgiven
Everyone’s story is a little bit different
All is forgiven.
It’s so easy to spot my weakness
and that’s the reason that I believe
this safety is a facade
I will run along life’s ledges
Cause I am chasing God
and that’s the reason I am freed
from the barren guarantees.
this open minded world has closed
to the only opening
I can hear the voices of the masterful designer of my breath
helping me with choices that avoid the places that only bring me death
All is forgiven
Everyone’s story is a little bit different
All is forgiven.
Guess I knew it, but now I need it
and that’s the reason that I believe
this safety is a facade
I will run along life’s ledges
Cause I am chasing God
and that’s the reason that I am freed
from the barren guarantees.
this open minded world has closed
to the only opening.
