Seed
03:08
|
|||
|
Trying to understand my own existence
Seeking to know the origin of all things
Is the answer something that I can know?
Or is it the answer someone that can hold me now
Over and over
The seed that is planted
In faith it will start to take root
But first it must die
I wander in the darkness
Struggle for faith at night
In the wait of Holy Saturday
Hope for Easter’s light
But the opposite of faith
Is not questioning or doubt
So I’ll plant this seed and watch it grow
God, where are you now?
I’ve been looking for something my whole life
I’ve filled my heart with things that should’ve caused me to die
Is that something that I’ve been seeking a someone?
My search for meaning has left me undone
Unless a seed dies it remains alone
(Unless it dies it remains alone)
But if the seed is planted, it bears much fruit
(The seed is planted and taking root)
In that same way, He came and died to resurrect us from the dead.
He is the Final Adam, Second Man, Hope of all the world
As I share in Your death, I will share in Your rebirth
We must be reborn

The Sickness Unto Death
04:00
|
|||
|
Like the longing of broken love
I want to know just who I am
But the darkness of the human heart
Breaks apart the synthesis that defines me
(Chorus)
We are broken images of three in one
Cadavers waiting for rebirth (So tell me who I am)
We are finite, bound reflections longing to
Be with the infinite, infinite One (And show me who You are)
You and I are qualities distinct
Separated by infinite distance
Our attempts to understand create You in our image
But the divine truth revealed is λογος incarnate
[Repeat Chorus]
There is no teaching
No hidden wisdom
That can ever return us to who were meant to be
There is a person
Divine incarnate
Who came to draw us near
There is a person
Divine incarnate
Who came to draw us near
[Repeat Chorus]
So tell me who I am
We are more than what we see
And show me who You are
We will be one
So tell me who I am
Who we are is found in You
And show me who You are
So tell me who I am
And show me who You are

First Adam
04:01
|
|||
|
All of us Are fragments of our fallen father
All of us
The image marred by human hands
Identity is fractured
And ever since we draw breath, we know
That we are born to die
Death came through sin
And spread to all men
Because of one man’s sin
We are incomplete
But even if humanity united as one
It would not be enough to make us whole
(Chorus)
From who do we depart?
Are we free to life?
All of this were so unsure of
We’re reaching our hands now
We brake the branches
Pull the stem To eat and become God
To form ourselves with our own hands
To see the world with blind eyes
To create our own reality
To eat and become God
We can never fill each other
Man in woman; plant the seed
The greatest miracle of man
Yet we're destined to die
Our greatest achievements
Bricks of the new Babylon
Our emptiness driving us to stand
In defiance of who we are
We must be redefined
We need the new creation
We must be realigned
With the New Man
(Chorus)
From who do we depart?
Are we free to life?
All of this were so unsure of
We’re reaching our hands now
We brake the branches
Pull the stem To eat and become
….God
To eat and become God

Song of Darkness
03:30
|
|||
|
Darkness whispers telling me
Of resurrected memories
But Your haunting silence beckons me to scream
Of all my pain
Addictions leave empty
The heart that is searching
Depression is reaching for me
And here in the darkness my hands are shaking
The trauma of innocence lost is tainting
Abuse left me questioning who I really am
And who I’m meant to be
In suffering and pain is Your grace sustaining?
To victims of sin is Your goodness failing?
Where is Your voice?
My God, I need You now
My God, I need You now
When I look upon the wounds in my heart
The memories come flooding like a plague
But when I look upon the wounds in Your hands
They serve as hope and reminders of who I am!
We try to forget the pain and regret
But always remember that you are not alone
Addictions leave empty
The heart that is searching
Depression is reaching
(this cycle is killing me)
I’m searching and coping
And struggling with hoping
But I can’t keep numbing the pain
But there in the darkness Your hands were shaking
The sorrow of paradise lost was making
You weep for Your son with a torn identity
And what this meant for me
In suffering and pain, it’s Your grace sustaining
For victims like me, You are never failing
So still I will sing:
My God, I need You now
Yet even in the darkness
You weep with the weeping
And hurt with the hurting
So still I will sing:
My God, I need You now

Silence
04:51
|
|||
|
I want to go where You send me
But I cannot pick myself up off this floor
I’ll speak what You tell me to speak
But I need to feel Your presence so much more
It’s evident in the headlines
It’s evident in the high tide
That God’s abandoned us
No sermon has consoled me
No service touches upon
The darkness ripping me open
And the pain I’m running from
Oh don’t tell me I need a savior!
If he’s such a savior, then why am I still suffering?
I thought you were good
I thought you cared
I thought that if I prayed
That you’d always be there
I thought you listened
When we bowed our heads you
But when the silence screams
my faith is re-construed
So if you’re good
Will you turn your face toward us
As your people deal with trauma
I question if you’re just
The God that I grew up with
The face painted on church walls
Is different than the one whose face
Was despised, rejected by all
The face that I see now
Reveals love in a different way
When his people dwell in suffering
He enters in to stay
I want to go where You send me
But I cannot pick myself up off this floor
I’ll speak what You tell me to speak
But I need to feel Your presence so much more
So I’ll go where you tell me to go
Even if the path is filled with pain and sorrow
But even if You never spoke
Everything within my life would speak for You
The God of the broken
…dwells with us.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Though like a wanderer, daylight all gone
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone
Yet in my dreams I’d be nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
There let the way appear, steps unto Heav’n
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy giv’n
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise
So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
The womb of God is death
…and rebirth

Rebirth
04:58
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
As the earth groans in sorrow and longs to be free
As creation’s corrupted by sinners like me
As we struggle for meaning and identity
We hope for the Eden where we were meant to be
(Chorus 1)
Though this world is in darkness and sin
Still You call us to breathe and to begin again
By Eve’s promised seed
From death we are freed
Through Your rebirth
(Verse 2)
Just like gold sealing cracks in a kintsugi bowl
Is Your love healing shame in the depths of my soul
You reached down through despair to the human heart
And became one of us, to make the broken whole
[Repeat Chorus 1]
(Chorus 2)
When the Word came to dwell in flesh
God among us incarnate was sentenced to death
For though we were lost
The King chose the cross
For our rebirth
(Interlude)
There will come a day when our true selves belong
As heaven and earth come together as one
But until that day we will faithfully wait
And we’ll sing Your praises:
(Bridge)
Come Lord Jesus
Bring resurrection
Your kingdom come
Starting with me

Communion
04:15
|
|||
|
My despair had left me isolated
I only wanted darkness and sin
To live in a closed world built for myself
Without God and others my only hope was death
But You died on a tree of death
And became our Tree of Life
Your body and Your blood
Are the sacrament that we eat to have life
(Chorus)
You tore the wall down on the cross
That separated God from man
In death and rebirth
Your Spirit drawing me to You
You are the One inside of me
And I the one inside of You
Your body, Your blood
In remembrance till Your return
I’ve been searching for someone to bring me hope
To reach into this darkness, to bring me to life some how
So when You came and died upon the cross
You showed that You’re the God who won’t abandon us to death
So You died on a tree of death
And became our Tree of Life
Your body and Your blood
Are the sacrament that we eat to have life
[Repeat Chorus]
You are indwelling – you come and make me Your home
Your Spirit filling – you enter in and give me life
You are conforming – us into Your image as one
Your Son returning – we’ll see each other face to face
You tore the wall down on the cross
In death and rebirth
Your Spirit drawing me to You!!!
[Repeat Chorus]
Till then we eat and drink to Your memory
But our hope is found in Your return

Desert Song
04:23
|
|||
|
This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides
This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me, Lord, through the flame
(Chorus)
I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
[Repeat Chorus]
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
[Repeat Chorus]
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

Emmanuel
God with us
You walk with me
Through suffering
Our blessed hope
Our great high priest
You are the resurrection and the life
(Chorus)
Oh how we’ve waited for this day
Our King has cometh. Our King has cometh
So raise your voice and lift it high
Our King has cometh. Our King has cometh
(Bridge 1)
We’ve heard of, we’ve hoped for, we’ve prayed for, He’s here now
Redeemer of now all things, make us all new
We’ve awaited Your wonder
Show us Your true power
Shed now Your love on earth
Forever we praise You
Oh
You are the gift
The promised seed
The God to bring us from death to life
The Final Adam
The Second Man
Resurrected first fruits of the dead
King of heaven
King over earth
Death is defeated by Your blood
So come Lord Jesus
Spirit of life
Reclaim you children, your body, and your bride
[Repeat Chorus]
(Bridge 2)
Our home is not this place
Raised high above the grave
You Lord have made the way
Bought by unfailing love (repeat with gang vocals)
You’ve opened the way
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Bridge 1]

Womb
04:21
|

|
Mother
You are the first other
The origin of life
And the ending to whom we shall soon return
(Chorus)
You are the womb
The bringer of life
Spirit baptize with water and fire
Agent of change
Waters of hope
Spirit of resurrection and life
We are reborn
First fruits of the hope
No longer bound in sickness to death
We will arise
Transfigured in light
We are the image of the holy invisible God
As a mother who will comfort those she loves
So you shall comfort us.
We’ll never be alone.
“Open
Oh colored world
Without weight
Without shore
You are second
And better” (-CS Lewis, Out of the Silent Planet)
Behold, the Tree and His fruit
Faithful to heal all who partake
He will undo and recreate
The seeds that were sown shall wither away
[Repeat Chorus]
And we’ll never be alone

Tree of Life
07:00
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
You formed us in Your image
You dwelled with us and spoke what’s true
The tree of life was offered
But we chose to turn from You
Can we renew?
Can we renew?
(Verse 2)
In our search for meaning
We wrestle with the God of all
And though we chose the darkness
You reach for us when we fall
So tear down this wall
Tear down this wall
(Pre-Chorus)
Now the universe is weeping
For the day when we’ll be freed
For the coming of the creator
The faithful, promised seed
(Chorus)
Son of Man, Son of God
The servant king was lifted up
Tree of death, Tree of Life
the Savior ending grief and strife
King of heaven, king of earth
Giver of the second birth
Tree of death, Tree of Life
Our great hope, the cross of Christ
(Verse 3)
Through Your cross you redeemed
A people struggling to cope
In a world of violence
Your love displayed in endless scope
Oh there is hope
You are our hope
[Repeat Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
(Bridge 1)
In Your incarnation
Divine and human meet
In Your resurrection
You heal the incomplete
In Your Spirit’s filling
Man is Your dwelling place
In Your second coming
We will see you face to face (x3)
(Bridge 2)
And when that trumpet blasts
We’ll see the Son of Man
Descending upon the clouds
The universe is in His hand
Creation weeps for joy
The Final Adam has His Eve
God in man, two made one
Your presence never to leave
[Repeat Chorus]
