1.
Force the Hand Time and time again/ you’ve surrounded me/ You forced my eyes open/ showing me truth/ Taking grip on my heart/ I’ve witnessed the spirit I dare not force my hand Your words I breathe Conviction and urgency Day by day I struggle/ to be free from temptation/ in this flesh/ Strengthen my faith/ let me write the words you want heard/ Flow through me/ like water/ your spirit
2.
Don’t You Think It’s Time... Don’t you think it’s time/ to go and be with Jesus/ What if I don’t want to/ what if I don’t want to/ We’re all holding on/ holding on much too tight/ To one another Hold on to those thoughts in your head Dead but not gone for good Why can’t we ease our grips/ and let you slip through All it takes/ All it takes sometimes/ Let your love show/ for them to let go Reaching for the morning star I know you’ll never be too far

Contribution 06:06
Contribution Motivated through selfishness actions of self indulgence And sin a taste in the flesh of earth bound evil I continue to poison not only my mind but my body as well This perpetual toxicity has begun leaching out into Every facet of my being there’s a grip clenched So tight around my neck cold pale calloused hands Choking out the last bit of hope of life struggling I couldn’t seem to pry them off little did I know They were my own forcing me under I took my Last breath as a sinner The cold stings my skin like needles every muscle Contracts I could feel the current flowing around me Fully submerged I’ve come to the realization of free will My willingness this pollution I once consumed ever so quickly Diluted purged from my eternal soul washed down river Drown it out drown it all out shedding my old skin Those hands release my neck and began to pull me up Breaking the surface my first breath reborn fills my Being with the great spirit wipe out the water Open your eyes and see the son Feed me purpose/ Brand me with reason/ carve it into my skin You contribute nothing/ to you own salvation Except the sin/ your sins/ that made it necessary
4.
Steep Ravine 08:01
Steep Ravine We’ve mourned your loss for months/ and now it’s time To head westward/ to return you back to the earth/ You reached into the world of the living/ and placed In his head a ring from when you wed. It made our skin crawl/ it brought a tear to our eyes It’s like we saw a ghost/ when he opened his hand A confirmation of your love/ and your place after life/ Reassuring you are still with us/ to say goodbye when The time comes/ when the family convene on Steep Ravine Descend down at sunset/ on the cliff sides of Steep Ravine/ we spread your ashes/ into the ocean
5.
Running from Guilt You said it yourself/ you called upon him Oh God get me out of this alive/ as you took them down One shot at a time Not a day goes by you don’t think about all those lives/ That you’ve taken/ quit running from guilt/ and set Your soul free So easily you turn your back/ how can you not see Oh God you wouldn’t make me kill/ that’s too easy to believe Repent and seek forgiveness/ take in your heart/ The almighty forgiver/ and set your soul free
6.
An Elegy Called Death Today is the day I will fight back the tears Today is the day the spirit comes near Today is the day the dead comes alive Today is the day that the spirit seeps through Today is the day of the lightside Today is the day of the darkside Today is the day of birth Tomorrow is the day of Death
7.
Fear vs. Victory In this life/ you will seek/ victory through him/ Living afraid/ there sails promise/ freedom/ Don’t abandon ship Be strong and be courageous/ don’t be afraid or discouraged/ For the lord, your God/ will be with you/ wherever you go The water will recede/ and the lighthouse will guide you home Let his light shine upon you/ filling the sails with all of God’s glory/ Pressing forward towards the shore/ you’ve set your own course/ Don’t abandon ship This beacon/ This pulse/ the beating in your heart/ Through Jesus Christ seek victory
8.
Pale Flowers 06:02
Pale Flowers Such beauty marks where the dead lie/ much like life These gravestones wither and wear Can you feel the warmth of the sun soaked marble On this bitter autumn day as you rake the wax from Side to side And I shall give you rest Pale flowers casting shadows/ from the southern sky/ Upon the hill/ Jesus with open arms Mortality staring back/ the cycle seems/ so small As we make/ rubbings of your grave
9.
Lucky 13 09:01
Lucky 13 You once told me that you don’t believe in this Little thing we call love Turbulence fearful this will end disastrous But we continue to hold on hand in hand Our strength unites Our journey together is fearless with our hearts as one
