There's Nothin' Normal 03:37
lyrics
buy track
when I gaze into those murky eyes I find I lose all sense of space and time despite the loss there is much gain I find the plural form of me caught up with you makes the fall of love, a descent I choose time after time, for now and for always a vast mystery, oh you and me two orbits joined for all to see there's nothing normal 'bout a planet spinning a complex world spoken into existence and all of this to say, our love compares no amount of day to day with you could cause a taking for granted of this truth there's nothing normal about the love we share when I survey the cross on which One died I find I lose the will of me inside due to One's loss, there is much gain we find the plural form of me caught up with You makes the fall of love, a descent I choose time after time, for now and for always a vast mystery, You and man share one orbit with You in the center there's nothing normal 'bout a planet spinning a complex world spoken into existence and all of this to say, Your love compares no amount of day to day with You could cause a taking for granted of this truth there's nothing normal about the love You share there's nothing normal 'bout a planet spinning a complex world spoken into existence and all of this to say, Your love compares no amount of day to day with You could cause a taking for granted of this truth there's nothing normal about the love You share there's nothing normal 'bout a sunset's golden beams painting skies with the colors of our dreams and all of this to say, Your love compares we matter more to You than any created thing and so to you we offer our whole being there's nothing normal about the love You share

It Feels So Crowded 04:45
lyrics

we're wide awake though the world around is fast asleep we're consumed with this ache to know each other more than anything it's hard to feel the way I am feeling wanting only you to be near all else fades into the surroundings leaving you, the one I hold so dear I want to know you completely want to see what we could become I'd give up these temporal possessions to commune with you the one I love we're wide awake with our hearts so burdened down by the weight of what's at stake as your fight enters the final round it's hard to feel the way we are feeling wanting only you to be near all else fades into the surroundings leaving you, the one we hold so dear we want to know you completely want to see what you could become we'd give up these temporal possessions to commune with you the one we love oh, the one we love oh, the one we love and we fall to our knees, in our endless search for Thee and we fail to concede, all we are before Your feet as we cling to the things that dull the cries beneath the skin and the voice, from within reminds of all that could have been I'm wide awake, as Your glory is revealed to me I'm consumed with this ache to know You more as You know all of me It's hard to feel the way I am feeling wanting only You to be near all else fades into the surroundings leaving You the One I hold so dear I want to know You completely want to taste and see what You've done I'd give up these temporal possessions to commune with You, the One I love

Heartbeat 04:22
lyrics
buy track
a man works an age enduring toil and labor pains to provide for those he loves like a heart providing blood his example was not lost as little eyes were fixed upon those lives are now full grown providing heartbeats of their own and at the center of it all a father's love keeps beating on providing strength where there is none providing hope when all is gone and the lessons that were taught through his presence, through his thoughts a willing answer to a call a father's love keeps beating on the truths that were instilled serve as anchors in the wind as the storms of time persist we have a place of peace and rest not one built by human hands as but a shadow of the man but in the present of the One Who is the Father of us all and at the center of it all the Father's love keeps beating on providing strength where there is none providing hope when all is gone and the lessons that are taught through His presence, through His thoughts His still small voice to each does call the Father's love keeps beating on

Seeds Sown 05:22
lyrics

my home's been invaded by three tornadoes shaped like boys each gets frustrated when their voice is lost in all the noise consumed with planets our oldest son with head in skies his first words surprised me they were, Galileo Gallilei in the middle, a boy in superhero clothes protecting our fortress from, all those pesky evil foes and then our youngest, content to take all of this in I can only image what, adventures are in store for him oh...these seeds we've sown oh...had I only known the way they'd burrow in my heart the soil was richer than I thought each unique in many ways and yet my love for them's the same oh...these seeds we've sown my life's been invaded by reminders of my shortcomings and I'm needing to choose my words much more carefully for now there's three echos, waiting to repeat each thoughtless word spoke, and unrestrained scream oh...these seeds we've sown oh...had I only known the way they'd show that which I thought had been removed from this hard heart now revealed in many ways, all of my inadequacies oh...these seeds we've sown and all i can hope, and all I can pray is that my failings will be watered down with God's grace as I tend to this ground, on my hands and my knees into Your care, I commit, I release... oh...these seeds we've sown oh...had I only known the way they'd burrow in my heart the soil was richer than I thought each unique in many ways and yet my love for them's the same oh...these seeds we've sown

My Rest in You 05:10
lyrics
buy track
could you pardon me brother? as I stumble drunk from self could you offer me your helping hand to steady my regard? cause you see my back is sore from bending over the box that holds my sin and my hands are chafed and bloodied from all my rummaging for when the number's one and all I am is me I'll be looking for an excuse to wash away this loneliness and find my rest in You, my rest in You could you pardon me, Father? I fall to the wages of sin could you offer me Your holy hand with a bag of redemption? I've been long since gone from this place I know it's hidden within my breast but lately I can't seem to shake this craving I have for it for when the number's one and all I am is me I'll be looking for an excuse to wash away my loneliness, and find my rest in you and when my back is turned on everything and everyone I knew I'll be needing You Father, to bring me back to you me back to you and when my back is turned on everything and everyone I knew I'll be needing You Father, to bring me back to you and when the sole's worn from these walking shoes and my path's been misconstrued I'll be needing You Father to find my rest in you my rest in you
