Sophia 03:33
lyrics
-- Sophia speak your beauty The greatest sage spoke of you, “Find rest in her brave affections and always know what’s true” Sophia hear my troubles I cherish each word you know I pray that you’ll never leave me God knows what I’d do if you go In the moment I hold you Good and true coalesce as one And I love you and I’m taken, as the light is with the sun Sophia, Sophia Sophia I’m despairing Dark thoughts slow to depart Release me from confusion with songs that soothe my heart Every night spent without you In a way will end the same Not a reason to doubt you I have but myself to blame Sophia, Sophia Sophia, never leave me My faults you’ve always known Though many times I’m unfaithful you claim me as your own But the temptress I turn to As the tide of self comes in Speaking to my desires then I’m left alone again Sophia, Sophia --

Long Walk Home 04:01
lyrics
deep in your eyes lies the truth in a well of glory wrinkles of wonder silently share your story you look the same but something’s been changing lately when the leaves have left the trees naked in the cold alone summer seems an empty promise, you’re doing what you’re told while you wait trembling while your leaves are stripped away as you try to hold on in faith you’ve been good to me but it’s hard to believe in goodness but if I don’t believe I don’t know how I’m gonna get through this now when I cry tears are the way I give thanks as I tell you goodbye when the leaves have left the trees naked in the cold alone summer seems an empty promise, I’m doing what I’m told while I wait trembling while my leaves are stripped away as I try to hold on in faith disease is a thief and every night he’s taking your colors and thoughts leaving a grayscale painting but he’ll never take the beauty that’s gently waiting when the leaves have left the trees naked in the cold alone summer seems an empty promise as you take the long walk home

This too Shall Pass 04:33
lyrics
-- gone are the days when through the sand footprints we left child and man scars on this earth for a time this too shall pass you said gently you smiled to your son when out of the ash a phoenix sprung these are the words you spoke to me silently this too shall pass you said we only last for so long I know the day is soon to come when your voice a tune unheard’s begun and still by my side you will be finally knowing peace this too shall pass you said the pain only last for so long i’m listening now so please go on tell me again before you’re gone this too shall pass you said the pain only last for so long --

We Are Not Fatherless 03:27
lyrics
-- orphans no more healed from our tears Spirit you speak so may we hear you have named us every one you our father we your sons now empowered from within by the spirit over sin not as slaves in bondage held free to struggle, loosed to win we are not fatherless we are not fatherless heirs not to death, rendered from sin for Christ has won, and we with Him! more than pardoned we’ve become as the beauty of your son now empowered from within by the spirit over sin not as slaves in bondage held free to struggle, loosed to win we are not fatherless we are not fatherless not friends of guilt, nor kin to shame but we are yours and bear your name sisters, brothers, in your care share the table you’ve prepared now empowered from within by the spirit over sin not as slaves in bondage held free to struggle, loosed to win we are not fatherless we are not fatherless --

Psalm 98 02:14
lyrics
-- Sing to the Lord a new song Marvelous things He has done Victory comes from His hand, saving His nation The Lord’s made known His salvation His righteousness He has shown To every nation made known Faithfulness and loyal love for us his children The world has seen God’s salvation Make joyous noise to the Lord Joyful with song and with word Sing out with horn and with string Worship the true king With melody every praise bring May every creature of earth, Water and land in a verse Sing out for joy to the Lord, wait for His judgment And fairly he’ll rule the people --

Psalm 32 02:53
lyrics
-- Blessed is the one whose offense is forgiven Against whom the Lord counts no sin In whose spirit’s no deceit When I kept quiet my bones were laid to waste As I groaned throughout the day In light and darkness your hand in heavy ways Dried my strength like summer rays My iniquity I acknowledged before Him Confessed “to you, Lord, all my sin” He forgave my evil then Let he who’s godly give prayers when you are found In the waters he’ll not drown You spare me trouble, in you retreat abounds Shouts of rescue ‘round me sound I will teach the way and you’ll know my instruction Be not like a beast, with no mind Needing bridle to stay nigh The wicked’s sorrows are many but those who trust Are surrounded by your love Be glad and cheerful you saints within the Lord Shout for joy with one accord --

Psalm 16 04:23
lyrics
-- Save me Lord, you’re my only hiding place But for you, I would only be disgraced Saints in the land are my delight Men making idols only find Sorrow increasing for their part I will not speak their names You provide cup and portion from your hand You supply and your work secures my land Kindly you render boundary lines Beautiful heritage is mine I praise the one who counsels me Both awake and in sleep Before me, I have always set you Lord With you near, I will always be secure Now I have gladness in my heart Safe and secure in every part Your holy one will not decay You will free from the grave You have revealed the path of life Joyful in you I will abide Pleasures forever you bestow By your hand you provide Save me Lord, you’re my only hiding place --
