Father,

On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross
An emblem of suffering and shame
Father, my father
Forsaken by the name
When your kids start changing
Will you love them the same
There's a creature
In the valley
And an angel
In time
You want to learn to love yourself
Well, get in line
On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross
An emblem of suffering and shame
Shame
Shame
Shame
Shame
Shame
Shame
Shame

The Seventh Seal
03:58

Curtains up, my friend
It's time to start the show
A simple gesture
For my friends, that I've always known
So many questions
So many doubts
All things considered
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
And if I tell you tonight
I pray I'm not left behind
By my blood in time
I pray I'm not left behind
And if I tell you tonight (Each way I go)
I pray I'm not left behind (I love you so)
By my blood in time
I pray I'm not left behind
A calla lily
Inside an ember glow
I know you hurt me
But still, I'll never let you go
And as he broke
The seventh seal
I felt the cliff shake
And only you were real
And only you were real
And if I tell you tonight
I pray I'm not left behind
By my blood in time
I pray I'm not left behind
And if I tell you tonight
I pray I'm not left behind
By my blood in time
I pray I'm not left behind
I pray I'm not left behind

We Often Fall
02:29

Oh, I feel you
When I fall (we often fall)
Oh, I'll leave you
Through it all
Every time I see you
I tend to wonder if
Everything will change
If I ever let you in
It's not a secret
It's not a guise
It's just a revelation
That I slowly recognize
And so I choose the people
Close to me, that I can trust
With everything I am
And everything I was
Don't you recognize me darling
Though I've changed
My love for you
Is still the same
It's still the same
(What a friend we have in Jesus
Everything to God in prayer)
Oh, I feel you
When I fall (we often fall)
Oh, I'll leave you
Through it all
Do you despise me?
Do you think I'm sick?
You told me normal people
Don't really act like this
What if I told you
That everything was fine
Would it ease you in
In precious time
We often fall together
Because we care
I wish I didn't though
I wish I wasn't there
I don't need approval
I'll be fine
You want to learn to love yourself
Well, get in line
(Take it to the Lord in prayer)

A Path
05:39
|
|||
|
A means to what end
My just-a-friend
I take so much from you but
Where does it end?
Some deep insecurity
Inside of me
That needs reminding
From strangers to friends
To a means that justifies the ends
That I'm someone worth getting close to
That I'm someone worth giving love to
And I'll take and take and take
Until it goes away
And I feel okay
There's a path ahead of me
A choice to make
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
