Forest Fires 03:01
Oh I ran from You I swore it’d be the last time that I do A forest fire I slept beneath the trees for a while And I never learn And like a dog I spew and return Under the wire To choose between the world and my desire Beautiful what have I done? These crimson hands What have I become? And how can You look at me? Not the man I was made to be
2.
Salt & Light 04:17
Your message will not lie dormant on our lips We won’t allow this light to dwindle in the darkness For this fallen world has tried time and time again They’ve tried to cut us down but they fail in the end As we will not cease to sing When the darkness closes in We will not be shaken And through the flood I will not cease to sing Oh raise your voices now salt of the earth Stand firm within His truth; declare His worth And His name be lifted high, who paid the sinners fare The nations come alive, hearing loud and clear Cause we will not cease to sing When the darkness closes in We will not be shaken And through the flood I will not cease to sing We will not We will not We will not falter We will not We will not We will not founder And just like a lighthouse You will lead them out Awaken us from our slumber Not broken asunder You’ll draw us to Yourself And all will praise Your name

The Prophet 05:44
I fled from you I fled to the sea In hopes that you Would forget about me But the storms would ensue How could I run from you? Cause Mountains quake And melt away Nations fall, the sun will fade But the Lord our God remains And storms will rage As skies will drain At the might of His hand And the power in His command As I tremble in fear Beneath the waves My chosen fate And tossed to sea To the belly of the beast But You heard my cry And spared my life I called you out to that wicked city Now deliver these words I give to you I’ve seen graceless deeds and lack of pity There is consequence for the things they do The second time you would not disobey My words blazing forth from your lips like fire With ashes and with shame they turned from their way To forgive was always my desire Is it right for you to be so angry? Yes it was I who cursed your blessed leaf You cared not for an entire city And you would rather die in petty grief I rescued you from the jaws of the sea And yet still you know nothing of mercy

Furious Fire 04:09
Now open up my eyes Cause I’m tired of being blind And what is it You see in me? I’m not who I was made to be I never was We won’t believe the lie That we’ve fallen too far For Your love oh God Is like a furious fire Oh come refine us For our desire is to worship Is to bring You praise With all we are we lift your name So rob me of my pride And steal away Your bride Purge this heart awaken me I wanna be who I was made to be For your love oh God Is like a furious fire Oh come refine us For our desire is to worship Is to bring you praise With all we are we lift your name

When you tread through the valleys When on paths of broken glass you walk Through trial and snare; stuck in the mire I’m closer than you thought Do you know who you are? Disfigured and marred From fanning the flame My child Cause I’ve watched you fall apart And I’ve seen every scar And I know the pain you feel I’ve seen you in the dark I know what’s in your heart And all the things you conceal Though you’ve ran so far I’m still by your side Would you turn to me and find You’re not alone On this rock you’ll stand Despite yourself I am that I am And when you walk through the fire You will not feed the flame When you walk through the waters You won’t be swept away And You reached for me But I turned from You The only love I ever knew And You’re reaching still Through my dismay I’m losing hope Then I hear You say When you walk through the fire You will not feed the flame When you walk through the waters You won’t be swept away
7.
You See Me 05:18
And she bled no more With the slightest touch And with faith restored In the One who loves So regain your sight With spit and mud Opened eyes The kingdom come You see me You know my name And You love me all the same And You carried all the blame This world you overcame And we bleed too With blinded eyes We need You To give us life Cause I’ve lost before All I thought I knew All my fears Led back to You Cause You see me You know my name And You love me all the same And You buried all my shame This world you overcame You see me
8.
Love Of Mine 06:11
You walk with me down these cold dark roads You part the seas and bring life to lifeless souls You carry me when my strength wears thin And when I fall You bring me to my feet again So take this life from me Set my soul free Take all I am and all I do All for You All for You You’ve broken me and taught my soul to sing You’ve washed me clean and endured my suffering So take this life from me Set my soul free Take all I am and all I do All for You All for You And all my chains were gone And I could not believe such grace And now You’re all that matters Lord would You take your place And be the center Oh Divine Be exalted Oh love of mine
9.
Solid Rock 05:13
My hope is built on nothing less
 Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame
 But wholly lean on Jesus’ name Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand
 All other ground is sinking sand
 All other ground is sinking sand When darkness veils His lovely face
 I rest on His unchanging grace
 In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil His oath, His covenant, His blood
 Support me in the whelming flood When all around my soul gives way
 He then is all my hope and stay When He shall come with trumpet sound
 Oh, may I then in Him be found Dressed in His righteousness alone
 Faultless to stand before the throne
10.
But you held me still And despite myself I know You always will And from the mire You pulled me from the pit and from the fire Beautiful what have I done? These crimson hands What have I become? And what do You see in me? Not the man I was made to be Change me Show me Your ways Teach me the meaning of grace
