Worlds away the message spreads aflame
The persecution only strengthens Jesus’ name
Hunted, they share, hoping to save a few
Staring at death their last breath expels the truth
They've got eternity to cling to
Please be brave
And just tell me who we serve
While they prepare unafraid
To lay down their whole life
For the God they know will take them home
I’m afraid to share the truth while I have everything
I could speak refining fire but I'm not good at evangelizing
What if I offend someone; I let the idea pass
The doubting stain on both my eyes blocks out their hourglass
Anxious, I cling to comforts I’ve always known
All of my idols struggle before Your throne
Reveal my heart of stone
Please be brave
And just tell me who we serve
While they prepare unafraid
To lay down their whole life
For the God they know will take them home
Take a breath
Speak ‘til the tables turn
And just don’t let me pretend
That the safety we have
Is a reason to not be brave

Secret Pharisee

You clench your fists in the steepled room
The chords are too simple for your taste
The preacher spoke but didn't speak to you
You'll find perfection in another place
You've heard the message a million times
You’ll say you chose a life of grace
While you keep a mental list
Of the people you'd replace
You have every answer to the
Questions that no one’s asking
But how have you cared along the way?
You say you’ll change the entire world
While you pass the homeless on the street
You say you’ll go where the spirit leads
If you can make two grand per week
You have every criticism
To the lives that you aren’t living
But how have you listened along the way?
Clear your mind before thinking
Check your mouth before speaking
Purge your eyes before pointing
Make room for a heart
Have you ever thought to listen with all sincerity
And see mercy beyond what you’re thinking it should always be
There's a million hurting people
Who won't know the truth they seek
From a secret pharisee

Only You

Everything I long for, I swear that I don’t need
Every tear, I wipe away, convinced I shouldn’t bleed
Every high I feel relief, but every low is the same
I try to make my breathing slow and push away the shame
Everything I’ve conquered, and I’m still left obsessed
Everyday, I fight to smile, even though I know I’m blessed
Everyone I’ve ever loved, I’ve tried to make them stay
All the tightness in my chest, I beg to go away
Only You can calm me
Hold me down to free me
Only You can calm me
Hold me down to free me
Hold me down to free me
Every bit of panic shows me I’m not fine
Every gasp reveals that I am running out of time
I wake up from a sleepless dream, drowning in my fears
I have to accept that I’m this way, and I’ve been this way for years
Every night I lie here, reaching for the phone
It’s not that I want company, but I’m tired of being alone
And You know my desperation as I long for You to say,
“All the tightness in your chest, I’m taking it away.”
Only You can calm me
Hold me down to free me
Prune me, not to break me
Die for me to save me
Only You can calm me
Hold me down to free me
Prune me, not to break me
Die for me to save me
Only You

A Close Distance

Desperate, she’s been suffering a slow bleed
Confident, as your words bring her to her knees
Your eyes saw right through
Even though you said you loved her too
She’ll wake up the next day alone
All the times you held her to your heartbeat
Your words like honey down her throat
Turned to vinegar in her stomach
Along with every single word you wrote
And how could you say anything you want to,
Bringing out the hope in her eyes?
Look at all the tears of surprise
Shed by the girl left behind
She lived inside your protection
Gave no voice to her fears
Her room filled with nostalgia
To commemorate your years
But resentment piled up in time
The pulse was gone,
There were no more tries
You’d listen to her pleading cries
As she tried to revive your heart
Nothing can equal to
The thought of loving you
Nothing could equal to you
