Conviction 05:49
The world is losing its light. This is such a shame. I am looked on as a zealot, never questioning anything I hear The world has never given me a better answer I know what is in my heart I will not desert my cause To bring the world to its knees with charity I drank the dregs of addiction I couldn’t help myself I gave into mercy and lost myself in his light Strength was my final result I need to share this with you Try to stop a moving boulder If you can Try to stop it as it destroys Everything in its path I gave up everything for this My talents, my dreams, they are yours Try to stop a moving boulder If you can Try to stop it as it destroys Everything in its path Bringing hope to the hopeless Bringing light to the darkened Power to the powerless Healing to the broken This is my conviction This is my rock This is my conviction This is my foundation

Soldiers 05:00
Believe in the things you see Believe in the things you don’t Fight for the things you know Have faith in the things you want Strive to be the man you can be Strive to help others learn to be free Be Free Free to be you Free to see Free to be a soldier of God Your King Join in the battle of the righteous Be a soldier who knows what the right fight is Show the people that we can be happy Show them the plan to eternity Show them the path by example Show the people that we can be free Be free Bring unto God your brothers if worthy To earn their stripes and begin their journey Let’s start the march home to heaven And live in our mansion that have been given To those who learned the meaning of the fight The fact that this life has been to learn what’s right Let’s start the march home Let’s start the march home

Dawning 11:38
The evening sun glows scarlet As if falls from the sky The fading day still burned strong Leaving stains on my eyes I can’t stand to see myself in the mirror I know I let you down The only one who’s always been there for me And I gave it up and cast down my crown I can’t take this anymore Darkness is suffocating me I can’t live without the light So give it back to me Give it back to me A shadow eclipses what I know And I’ve given up all of my control The chords have bound me And I can’t escape I come to you with a broken heart And blood on my hands I need you to purify my soul And loosen these bands Please save me from myself You felt the pain that I did You stood there as my shield You took the bitter cup for me And with your stripes I was healed The morning sky shines snow white As the sun makes its climb A whisper tells me “Use this day well For I have given you this time” A time to start over A time to try again A time to make up lost steps And keep fighting to the end The darkness wasn’t easy Trying to make it through that night But when the morning came I found That crimson had turned to white

Midnight Air 06:29
I look around me now and wonder What I’ve could have done differently I reflect on that moment when I could have done much more As I will make myself anew The midnight air clears And I see What I’ve been missing inside Hope Light
5.
I watch the silent crowd I hear all that can’t speak It is like you have screamed aloud Going unnoticed like the faintest creek I have seen your wound I have heard your cries I have seen what has held your bound I look from above the skies Why won’t this world wake up? There is so much more to see They are living inside themselves Judging the world with irrational thought They have been shown the way Why do they falter Watch what you do and say When you fall below my alter I am not your enemy What kind of father would I be? You will be put to the test You will grow more than the rest I have heard your cries All I have is yours I have established your mansion Please stay the course There is more there than you can imagine
6.
The little things that catch my eye That I’ve never seen The heavens so blue Leaves change yellow from green What is creation’s end? Is there no rhyme or reason to life? I have a heart that beats Everything stands on the edge of a knife Have you seen my city streets? What is creation’s end? I will take your mile I will fight beside you I will not let you go to waste This is creation’s end. Come and see Beautiful world I gaze out and see Thick darkness covers me no more The dirt has been wiped away from the eyes of doubt I have been defined. I am convinced this time That no one can tell me what is right I will share with everyone I will take your mile I will fight beside you I will not let you go to waste This is creation’s end. To have return again This is creation’s end To walk the path he trod This is creation’s end I will take your mile I will fight beside you I will not let you go to waste This is creation’s end.

Ransomed 09:09
I stare at the ceiling as the alarm rings Another day, another dollar I feel the full ache of apathy The world is grey, devoid of color A voice awakens inside me Looking for something more? Are you ready for your next trill? I will show you the way Just take my hand And I will lead you on On the path of fulfillment Fulfillment eternal Could there be any truth in this? Do I have anything to lose? I can find acceptance here A place I’ll be understood I’ll take this emptiness And transform it to something good Take from all you need I am here for you, I’ll let you know You will laugh now but it will all turn to tears Eventually everything that is good will be left to waste You won’t see me coming the next time I will hit you when you least expect it You will know it in your gut Doesn’t the abandonment feel great? The voice help nothing but deceit I’ve been lied to more and more Complete emptiness engulfs my soul An emptiness greater than before Comfort is finding you again I am losing my control He has loosed your band so strongly sewn He has broken my chains Beware the evil behind the smiling eyes They look to impress but aim to deceive Leaving behind all whose met their demise The path lined with death has no reprieve I awake from the slumber of my death The veil lifted from my eyes Vivid, bright and vibrant the colors repainted To a new world I will arise

Pillar 05:27
My strength is out and my head hangs low I know that I will never grow It is time to end this fight? But I feel there’s a flame left to ignite How can this be? Clear out your mind and you can see Passion kindles the flame There is now a new thing to exclaim For those that cry out I hear your call I am here for one and all For those that fear and distress I will give you rest Never let go of hope and see That all you will ever need is me We’re all burdened with the yoke of life I can take away your strife I feel warmth hugging my being I understand faith isn’t seeing You were there, but were not This is something I have never thought I have a pillar to lean on A foundation to stand upon And when I feel the tempest break It will not leave me in its wake You are there I am here We are connected Father and his son

Prodigal 06:45
Father My pain is shattering plain existence As there is much more to be considered I am not a prodigal Not going to return I can handle myself My inner soul swells within me What is this? This makes no sense I do what I want with no conscience No consequence or so I thought Racked with torment, overwrought with distress Let’s add another grievance to the books Here’s another laceration to the soul As I tare myself from a light I thought was fake Pigs eat better than I Pigs, swine, better? Should I listen to what my father said? Will he take my back knowing what I have done? I knock at the door only pleading for mercy In mercy I was received “Son, you’re always welcome here” These words kept ringing in my ears “Son, you’re always welcome here” Father, thank you Father
