oh, my dear.
i called you up, you were in bed.
could barely make out the words that you said.
but you wanted to see me instead, so i got dressed.
then i stepped out into the snow
and walked for a mile or so,
felt the rush of blood come from the cold in my chest.
well you finally came to the door
and we talked for an hour or more
until i asked if you would stay up till four
you said, "that's fine."
but you said, "there's something i have to say,
and i can't because i'm just so afraid."
and so i held you as you started to shake that night.
oh, my dear,
i'll wait for you.
grace tonight
will pull us through.
until the tears have left your eyes,
until the fears can sleep at night,
until the demons that you're scared of disappear inside,
until this guilt begins to crack
and the weight falls from your back,
oh, my dear, i'll keep you in my arms tonight.
you slowly lifted your head from your hands.
you said, "i just don't think that you'll understand,
you'll never look at me that way again
if you knew what i did."
and so your tears fell and melted the snow
you told me secrets nobody had known
but i never loved you more
even though now i knew what you did.

empty my hands.
i've got voices in my head
and they are so strong.
and i'm getting sick of this.
oh Lord, how long
will i be haunted
by the fear that i believe?
my hands like locks on cages
of these dreams i can't set free.
but if i let these dreams die,
if i lay down all my wounded pride,
if i let these dreams die,
will i find that letting go lets me come alive?
so empty my hands,
fill up my heart,
capture my mind with You.
oh, empty my hands,
fill up my heart,
capture my mind with You.
these voices speak instead
and what's right is wrong.
and i'm giving into them,
please Lord, how long
will i be held captive
by the lies that i believe?
my heart's in constant chaos
and it keeps me so deceived.
but if i let these dreams die,
if i could just lay down my dark desire,
if i let these dreams die,
will I find You brought me back to life?
so empty my hands,
fill up my heart,
capture my mind with You.
'cause my mind is like a building burning down.
i need Your grace to keep me,
keep me from the ground.
and my heart is just a prisoner of war
a slave to what it wants and to what i'm fighting for.
so won't You empty my hands,
fill up my heart,
capture my mind with You.
oh, empty my hands,
fill up my heart,
capture my mind with You.
i need you now, Lord.
"this song is just a confessional prayer of mine. i have thoughts in my head that scare me. i think we all do. it’s my own selfishness and my own entitlement issues. the things you are most likely to idolize aren’t necessarily bad things, they are usually blessings that you cannot let go of and what we all need help realizing is true freedom."

house of mirrors.
you can't seem to see past your own reflection.
caught up in the halls of your introspection.
and you're staring at your mirror on the wall
asking, "who is the fairest of them all?"
‘cause, Lord, i know it's not me.
if only you could see
that you've already been set free.
come on, come on
let's throw our mirrors down.
come on, come on
let's shatter the glass on the ground.
but you say, "hold on, if i could just try this one thing.
well, i know i can change, and that would change everything."
but a house made of mirrors never helps you see any clearer.
it's yourself you can't see past
and Lord isn't that just like me?
if only we could see
that He's already set us free
come on, come on
let's throw our mirrors down.
come on, come on
let's shatter the glass on the ground.
freedom's waiting for you now.
so come on, come on
throw your mirrors down.
come on if you're tired, take a step outside.
you might find you can forget about yourself tonight.
come on if you're tired of failed attempts to try.
freedom's waiting when you look outside.
come on if you're tired, take a step outside.

throw your mirrors down.

hearts safe (a better way).
i feel it in your eyes.
there's pain that covers up these lies.
now you may look like me
but it seems you're really different on the inside.
we used to keep our hearts safe.
we kept them safe and locked away.
but then we grew up learning
that life could serve us in a better way.
and why?
i'm asking you why?
so what happened to your eyes?
i saw them wander just like mine.
so how did we come to see so differently
after all this time?
and why?
i'm asking you why?
and why?
i'm asking you why?
if the sheep know His voice, then tell me what is the choice
for the ones who haven't heard and have no need to rejoice?
Father, help me understand.
‘cause i am just like him and, Lord, he's just like me.
we came from the same town and the same families
but now he,
he just won't understand.
please, Lord, open up his eyes.
can You open these eyes?
and why?

any other way.
don't say goodbye,
don't say hello.
we're just standing on the surface.
don't say alright,
don't say i know.
I promise it's not worth it.
I want to know who you are,
even if you're falling apart.
reach in and touch your scars
and all the shame you've kept in your heart.
‘cause it's not enough,
it's not enough
just to say that we're okay.
I need your hurt,
I need your pain.
it's not love any other way.
let's not pretend.
stop your parade.
trying to convince me
that you're alright
and everything's okay.
do you even know Me?
‘cause I already know who you are
and all the things that kept us apart.
so reach in and touch my scars
and know the price I paid for your heart.
that it's not enough,
a broken and contrite heart
I will not despise.
come as you are
and I won't close my eyes.
I won't close my eyes.
I won't close my eye.
I won't close my eyes.
'cause it's not enough,
'cause it's not enough,
it's not enough
just to say that you're okay.
well, you needed My hurt
you needed My pain
it's not love any other way.
it's not love any other way.
yeah, it's not love any other way.
"even in relationships with each other, if you don’t understand the hurt and pain that someone is going through, it’s really not a love relationship. this is a call of God saying to us "I need your pain and I need your hurt" and allowing us to express that to God and not just to mask it. we’re allowed to question and we’re allowed to get mad and say, "i’m really hurt right now and this is what i’m going through." when someone can then love in return, then that’s when it’s true love."

all the pretty things.
we are, we are,
we're caught in the in-between.
of who we already are
and who we are yet to be.
and we're looking for love
but finding we're still in need
it's only what we have lost
will we be allowed to keep.
and we're waiting,
but our eyes are wandering
to all this earth holds dear.
look at all the pretty things
that steal my heart away.
i can feel i'm fading.
‘cause Lord i love so many things
that keep me from Your face.
come and save me.
we run, we run
to finally be set free.
but we're fighting for what
we already have received.
so we're waiting,
we're caught in the in-between.

the truth is who you are.
it would be easier
if You were just a thought in my head.
simply something that i once read.
a belief needing my defense.
and it would be easier
if you were something i once knew.
a hope just to hold on to.
but You're holding out Your hands.
'cause You came to take us back to the start.
You came to touch the hardness of our hearts.
You gave us truth
that truth is who You are,
it's who You are.
and it’s not enough
to just say, "i believe."
‘cause truth is that talk is cheap.
so grace, give me eyes to see
that You came to take us back to the start.
You came to touch the hardness of our hearts.
You gave us truth
that truth is who You are,
it's who You are.
it's who You are.
flesh and blood You offer us.
oh, to eat the bread and drink the cup.
oh, to taste, to see, to feel, to touch.
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, God with us.
‘cause You came to break the chains apart.
to wake the dead and sleeping of our hearts.
You gave us truth,
that truth is who You are.
it's who You are.
"it’s just the idea that Jesus is really what sustains us. Jesus is the truth we’re searching for. so unless we run to Him first, all our knowledge and all the stuff we learn about Him is just sort of puffing ourselves up. i think it’s such a freeing thing when people can realize that Jesus isn’t something that you read about in a book, but He’s actually a person and He wants to have a relationship with you and walk with you through these dark times."

you are more.
there's a girl in the corner
with tear stains on her eyes
from the places she's wandered
and the shame she can't hide.
she says,
"how did i get here?
i'm not who i once was.
and i'm crippled by the fear
that i've fallen too far to love."
but don't you know who you are,
what has been done for you?
don't you know who you are?
you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.
well she tries to believe it,
that she's been given new life.
but she can't shake the feeling
that it’s not true tonight.
she knows all the answers
and she's rehearsed all the lines,
so she'll try to do better
but then she's too weak to try
but don't you know who you are?
you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.
you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.
‘cause this is not about what you've done,
but what's been done for you.
this is not about where you've been,
but where your brokenness brings you to.
this is not about what you feel
but what He felt to forgive you
and what He felt to make you new
you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.
you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
"you can't live for God until you learn how to live because of God. and you can't go and make good choices for God until you understand the Gospel that says the choices you make don't make you who you are. what Christ has done for you makes you who you are."

you've been remade.
you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.
‘cause this is not about what you've done,
but what's been done for you.
this is not about where you've been,
but where your brokenness brings you to.
this is not about what you feel
but what He felt to forgive you
and what He felt to make you new
you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.
you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
"you can't live for God until you learn how to live because of God. and you can't go and make good choices for God until you understand the Gospel that says the choices you make don't make you who you are. what Christ has done for you makes you who you are."

strong enough to save.
you fought but you were just too weak
so you lost all the things you tried to keep
now you're on your kneesyou’re on your knees
but wait everything can change
in a moments' time
you don't have to be afraid
‘cause fear is just a lie
open up your eyes
and He'll break open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you
look now is not too late
lift up your head
let the rain fall on your face
you’re not far from grace
you’re not too far from grace
and He'll break open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you
break open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you
i know the weight of this world can take you down like gravity
i know the current of yourself can take you out, out to sea
but hold on
hold on
and He'll break open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you
break open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you
so you lost all the things you tried to keep
now you're on your kneesyou’re on your knees
but wait everything can change
in a moments' time
you don't have to be afraid
‘cause fear is just a lie
open up your eyes
and He'll break open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey
is strong enough to save you
look now is not too late
lift up your head
let the rain fall on your face
you’re not far from grace
you’re not too far from grace
and He'll break open the skies to save
those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey

is strong enough to save you

those who cry out His name
the one the wind and waves obey

healing begins.
so you thought you had to keep this up
all the work that you do
so we think that you're good
and you can't believe it's not enough
all the walls you built up
are just glass on the outside
so let 'em fall down
there's freedom waiting in the sound
when you let your walls fall to the ground
we're here now
this is where the healing begins, oh
this is where the healing starts
when you come to where you're broken within
the light meets the dark
the light meets the dark
afraid to let your secrets out
everything that you hide
can come crashing through the door now
but too scared to face all your fear
so you hide but you find
that the shame won't disappear
so let it fall down
there's freedom waiting in the sound
when you let your walls fall to the ground
we're here now
we're here now, oh
this is where the healing begins, oh
this is where the healing starts
when you come to where you're broken within
the light meets the dark
the light meets the dark
sparks will fly as grace collides
with the dark inside of us
so please don't fight
this coming light
let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us
this is where the healing begins, oh
this is where the healing starts
when you come to where you're broken within
the light meets the dark
the light meets the dark
all the work that you do
so we think that you're good
and you can't believe it's not enough
all the walls you built up
are just glass on the outside
so let 'em fall down
there's freedom waiting in the sound
when you let your walls fall to the ground
we're here now
this is where the healing begins, oh
this is where the healing starts
when you come to where you're broken within
the light meets the dark
the light meets the dark
afraid to let your secrets out
everything that you hide
can come crashing through the door now
but too scared to face all your fear
so you hide but you find
that the shame won't disappear
so let it fall down
there's freedom waiting in the sound
when you let your walls fall to the ground
we're here now
we're here now, oh
this is where the healing begins, oh
this is where the healing starts
when you come to where you're broken within
the light meets the dark
the light meets the dark
sparks will fly as grace collides
with the dark inside of us
so please don't fight
this coming light
let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us
this is where the healing begins, oh
this is where the healing starts
when you come to where you're broken within
the light meets the dark
the light meets the dark
"this is a call to let your walls fall down, let your masks fall down, let your pretense fall down, because guess what? your walls are glass anyway. we can see through them. you are fighting a losing battle and this is where the healing begins, when you let the light expose the darkness."
