exordium- Take all I am All I
have All I know One life I have (and) what I’ve won is not my own / (For)
I’ve got a past full of pain and mistakes all I’ve sown is a garden of weeds
You’ve seen the worst that I’ve done And you’ve opened your arms And you’ve
run after me / You light my sky A future bright With more to learn
The past fades away To shades of gray And will not return / Open the doors
Let the clouds disappear in the sky ‘til the brightness remains show me the
way that you want me to go and I’ll go if there’s one thing I know / No I
won’t fold I won’t fall I am sure I won’t lose sight Of the way I must go
Let me feel your love tonight Let me know your love tonight Let me see your
love tonight / And my cares can disappear For my hope has been restored All
I’ve lost along these years Will return of this I’m sure And in all the
tears I’ve sown I will see my dreams fulfilled For my life is not my own But
according to your will Then for all I am to do Let me never walk away Let me
see from eagle’s view

lest I disown you
-
Grounded
high evermore Heaven behold me I’ve no cry unassured Heaven has calmed me
now Into the light Time won’t define me / Shallow highs come before
Emptiness leaves me Shall I rise to the floor Heaviness held me down You set
me free Time can’t confine me / And when I wait when I wait I can see then
I know Why should I fear Should I doubt I believe / Guard my heart evermore
Lest I disown you Keep me safe from myself If logic dissolves you here Let
you be real Sometimes reason disarms me / And after all my life Help me to
be who you want me to be And in all my time Don’t let me fall from the
heights that I’ve come

-
Grant me life eternal Grant
me peace forever Set me free and always let your Light shine before me /
Grant me life eternal Let me dream forever Keep me and in all things know I
Love you forever / Guide my heart before you Light my path toward you Let
your words be spoken and may Hope reign forever / Into your light That turns
away the night Let it be so Let it be so / Forever more I believe I could
live I could love forevermore
4.
evensong
- I stand
before the chasm This night I try to fathom In dreams the waves are pounding
I leave the dark surrounding I hold the sky from falling I hear the deep is
calling Outside my hands are shaking Inside the chance I’m taking / Inside
the light that follows A bridge to guide A hope to find forever A light to
guide / I hold the world before you In my despair ignore you I see the waves
above me I watch the dark surround me I see the stars unfold you I watch the
sun behold you I hold my hands before you No more will I deplore you
5.
light of my life
-
Draw me nearer more to you take me closer For all I have I found in you my
entirety / my contentment I was searching My protection I was lost / Light
of my life Guide in my night Hope of my hope The light of my life In
infinite time We’ll laugh at the night Sight of my sight The light of my
life / All my faults like grains of sand Dark obscured me Like a wandering
soul in a dismal land How you saved me / I was nowhere Yet you found me Keep
beside me Still I wander / Stay beside me Still I wander
Keep me near you Make
it calm
6.
sometimes I wonder
-
I wait
and I wonder where am I when it's out there is it over / why for-swear what
you could never see to gain a broken world inside a mystery oh / keep your
heart and keep your world at peace and never trade these things for what
comes easy oh / some-times I wonder: "Why come back to a world so full of
catastrophe / only love can make you only love can break you only love can
show you somewhere else then take you nothing in this world could ever keep
me what is never bought is never sold sometimes I wonder sometimes I wonder

vinegar
-
Night taking time
Light faking rhyme Love hold my hope to the Light of the sun / Skies turning
‘round Lies burning down Love still remains in my Heart I will hold on / and
I love you still I love you I will love you Will you never let me go
8.
midnight sky
- Echoes and
dreams Whispers and wonderings Simple beliefs Echoes and gleams, dreams
Sparkling seas Lights unrelenting Feelings of peace Whispers and wonderings
/ Under a midnight sky opened wide Hailing a union drawn to the sky Any
who've gone before reunite Dawning a day no more do we cry / Silently first
Moving through mystery Followed by ease Followed by peace Never alone
Covered by breakers Rushes of light Charges of closure
9.
crashing
-
Heart cries Blare
out Your eyes Stare down My life Tears down Your light never wears down /
Can you feel the flame? Do you know the score Can you hear the song Do you
feel the war / Hope shines Feel safe But in dark times Light fades Lies come
Doubt stays Truth cries: only God saves / And all your waves are crashing
And hitting the shore And all your ways and all your ways are and all your
ways are
Keeper of my heart my
Lord my God The one who put the dream inside my soul keeper of my heart my
Lord my God / the dream inside my soul the dream inside my soul Come breathe
again
10.
who you are
- In places no one
else will go There you are And in the silence of the night There you are And
when I walk from where I fell there you are And when I wake up in my hell
There you are / I want to know who you are I want to know who you are and
your name I want to feel who you are I want to know your name / I want to
live the way you are So here I am I want to walk the way with you So take my
hand And in the prayers that no one hears There you are And while I’m
drowning in my tears There you are
11.
into your garden
-
Speak to me
clearly Comfort me with words I’ve never known Night shows no ending No
ending for a soul without a home Take my surrender Show me what is real from
what is known Night holds a secret A secret to a world I’ll never show /
Come to me now I can hear your voice call like it’s haunting me Come to me
now (I can see the stars light up my night) / Into your garden I’ll run I
belong here Out of the night comes the sun Into your garden I’ll hide I
belong here Taking me next to your side I belong here, I belong here I
belong here, I belong here / Standing here waiting Captured by the wonder of
it all Followed by a mystery A place behind a world I’d never know
12.
allusions to grandeur
-
Take
all I have And I’ll I’ve ever know In all I am And show me where to go /
Open up the sky Let me see the sun Answer me the why Let me be the one
Inside my heart I’ve everything to do I call your name And pray it gets me
through / Dare we say On we go Do as we ought to do / Live we may Fail we
know Find what we’re born to do / Turn away All regret Dream as they’ve
feared to do See what nobody knew See as we’re made to do Lose we may On we
go Stand where our fathers stood See as our father would Love like our
brother should / And on we go until that day when time is stilled and
stripped away from all / turn away the night answer to the call hidden in
the light prominent to all
13.
complexity kills
-
My night
upon night flares with visions of all but I'm tied to what's here so how can
I reach you / Don't simplify heaven then say it's the cure and slow not my
mind if I've not the heart yet / complexity kills me when I lose my guide
but strengthens my heart when I finally see it / inside of me intensity my
symphony of saddened melodies I'm desperate inadequate for what I see
burning here inside of me / Though in my eyes I am blind to your work In my
mind I'm consumed with my own dare I know what you do in your time lest I
see all is done in its time ever more / so let me be in every way and set me
free with every day and let me see simplicity the beauty in catastrophe / in
side the walls of entropy between the lines of clarity the random bond of
things to come the rank design of things you've done
14.
Fade Away
-
Fade away Every
divertissement And separate from me every anxiety in all that lies ahead of
me inside my destiny / fade away any who interfere and separate from them
all hope that destiny is found in their duplicity and be it violently / In
all that lies in my heart Be it far from me to sentence the arcane without a
cause / Oh Let me cross without falling below / Abstract fixtures Keep me
aligned Won’t you keep those running after me away from me I cry / I fade
away all my Dark secret vengeances as I abate don’t forget what I’ve prayed
be it so /so in my heart set me free and let justice be served be it known
all who live be it known all below / lo your day of reckoning has begun
they’ll be no one to save you endless regret for all that you’ve done seeds
that you’ve sown repay you / anchor my life from all that may haunt keep me
myself from reaping guard me against my fondness to vaunt vanity leads to
weeping / keep me ever closer guide me as I walk through worlds of dark and
shadows help me let my darkness fade away
