Tongues of Fire
03:43
|
|||
|
I walked through hell but I didn't see you there
It thought it well to tell you God still cares
In fact the halls were empty, not a soul around
I had assumed who I'd see when coming down
Through all the reasons we've laid out to say some are best
The Spirit still is whispering this truth until the end
Resist the urge to clone your tongue of fire
The Spirit moves without us knowing why
Don't confuse your bias
With the face of God inside us
Resist the urge to clone your tongue of fire
I walked through bliss, walked around its fringe
To see the gates had been taken off their hinge
And some thought it surprising to see you standing there
I thought the same of others who didn't live to care
If we are meant to keep the halls of heaven pure
Then in the end we will surprised, I am sure
Perhaps it's best to let the God we follow make the choice
Before we lose another child, silence another voice

Peace Be With You
03:42
|
|||
|
In a place of doubt and fear
The first words that we hear are peace
Peace be with you
Though we doubt and ran away
Stood by silent as he was slain,
Peace, peace be with you
Who are we that we can hear?
Words of peace, peace to you
You broken hearted will be renewed
To all who've lost and ran away
To all the doubters, he proclaims
Peace
In our space, our doors locked tight
The light through darkness blinds our eyes
Peace, peace be with you
The Son of Man has conquered death
And all who creation holds her breath
Peace, peace be with you
In our brokenness we hear
Words of peace, peace to you
You broken hearted will be renewed
To all who've lost and ran away
To all the doubters, he proclaims
Peace
In the darkness, light appears
Scarred and loving enters here
Calling all who hurt and fear
Telling all with ears to hear
Words of peace, peace to you
You broken hearted will be renewed
To all who've lost and ran away
To all the doubters, he proclaims
Peace

Palms to Ashes
04:01
|
|||
|
The palms of our celebration
And the cries of our exaltation
Hosanna hosanna in the highest
Have burned away to be ash now
To mark our repentance on brow
To dust you shall return
But in the end both are good
Both responses are as it should be
And in the end they lead to you
Exaltation and lamentation belong to you
Our mouths proclaim that you're loving
The world your glory is flooding
Hosanna hosanna in the highest
Yet with our words we are wailing
That we, imperfect, are failing
To dust we shall return
As together we journey
We'll feel both beauty and yearning
Hosanna hosanna in the highest
We'll also see that we're broken
In deeds and thoughts left unspoken
To dust we shall return

How Do We
02:50
|
|||
|
How do we keep on loving when we disagree
How do we move on forward in unity
How do we live the gospel
How do we teach each other
How do we listen above the screams
How do we hold on tightly to what we've learned
How do we speak the truth at a loss for words
How do we freely live out
The mission we've heard about
How do we make and take our turn
How do we live in empire 'til kingdom come
How do we live remembering the light has won
How do we tell our children
Teach them to think and listen
How do live and speak in love

Hosanna to Crucify
04:58
|
|||
|
He entered on a colt, covered up with cloaks
The road before him paved with palms
Then holy shouts were raised, singing words of praise
Nothing could drown out the sacred sound
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest
But that was days ago and now the empire knows
That Jesus Christ cannot be bought
The jury felt convicted and as the cross was lifted
Still hearing cries they cast their lots
Crucify the traitor
They crucified the Savior
Not so long ago we heard "Hosanna in the highest"
Today the shouts are "Crucify"
If there's hope for even them
There's hope for you and I
Between hosanna and crucify
If they could shout out both, curses and their hopes
Then you can see we all belong
The words that Jesus spoke while he gave up his soul
Forgive them Father all their wrongs
These words are yours
Before you were born
If there's anything to know from this week's to-and-fro
It's that our lives have consequence
Our hope is not in lives perfectly comprised
But in the Christ who died and rose again

Weed to Vine
02:37
|
|||
|
We the vineyard of your making
On your faithfulness rely
Every seed and fruit are staking
Every breath on your supply
On our own we wilt and stumble
Never able to survive
But in manger lying humble
We find sun that bring us life
Bring from us a fruitful harvest
Make of us a loving bride
Grant that we may see your promise
And follow you our loving guiding
God you've made us to be planted
Only in your saving word
Welcomed into holy banquet
And to be the wine you serve
In the midst of all our failings
Miracles you still provide
We've become more than our making
Turning us from weed to vine

Beggars (This is True)
03:16
|
|||
|
We are beggars this is true
Assembly of the lost and fool
We lack the power to find the bread
Without your Spirit and its coming in
Feed us now
By grace alone
Though undeserved
We are your own
We are broken this is true
Daily reminded by our own pursuits
Still we find that despite the stain
Your broken Son has made us whole again
We are loved by the One
Forsaking all our Savior hung
We are loved by the One
Giving life to all of us
We're forgiven this is true
Restored to life and renewed
Still only beggars in search of bread
We've found pantry in our Savior's hand
