Fight

Infiltrating the mind, an unwanted army

Of savage beasts leave none to survive

Through poison and filth, destruction is eternal

In victories won, their strength multiplies

Fight the fight, you’ll live or die

There’s never too great a sacrifice

Don’t toe the line of virtue and vice

Can’t wait ‘til tomorrow we’re never guaranteed time

Neither body nor spirit are free from the arrows

That fly by the day and pierce the night

Intense in their focus to never abandon

the battle until drowned by heaven’s pure light

Fight the fight, you’ll live or die

There’s never too great a sacrifice

Don’t toe the line of virtue and vice

Can’t wait ‘til tomorrow we’re never guaranteed time

If defeat is conceded, the cycle’s repeated

Insatiable hunger for more must be starved

Without pain there’s no feeling without love there’s no healing

No matter how strong you can’t do it alone

Fight the fight, you’ll live or die

There’s never too great a sacrifice

Don’t toe the line of virtue and vice

Can’t wait ‘til tomorrow we’re never guaranteed time 

Close To The Edge

It’s cold and wet outside and I cannot see it all

Should be thankful I’m alive, but it’s pride before the fall

The journey begins; I want what I don’t have

The grass is always green on the other side of the path

Not waiting or anticipating what lies up ahead

I’m close to the edge but safe in Your arms

I’m close to the edge but fine

So easy to think that it’s too hard

When life wants to send us close to the edge sometimes

The clouds of doubt set in darkening my trail

The shadows overcome; I wonder if I’ll fail

A street lamp flickers dim while I carry on way

It’s hard to see the light when all’s to see is gray 

Not waiting or anticipating what I’m gonna see      
     

I’m close to the edge but safe in Your arms

I’m close to the edge but fine

So easy to think that it’s too hard

When life wants to send us close to the edge sometimes

No warning, no sign, the appointment’s come at last

Two stubborn wills collide but the worst hasn’t passed

The pain sets in and the tests begin to see if I’ll survive

Finished, done, has death won the claim to another life?

He who speaks and it is knows what’s mine and what’s His

He wins battles and finishes wars

When life is at stake all we can do is wait

For this too shall pass

I’m close to the edge but safe in Your arms

I’m close to the edge but fine

So easy to think that it’s too hard

When life wants to send us so close to the edge but I’m safe in His arms

So close to the edge but I’m fine

When He’s all that I have it isn’t too hard

For life to send us close to the edge sometimes

We wait for You, God
In this silence we will wait
When You will med the broken-
We long for that great day!

Remember Your mercy, we need Your everlasting love
Forget not Your promises, we need Your holy touch

Hope in God, oh my soul, hope in God!
He is my Rock; my shield; my joy!
Faint not, spirit, faint not!
For He will remain, He will sustain, forevermore!

Bring to remembrance the moments of brokenness
Those were the times of joy
My memory fails to recall Your faithfulness
Through pain is mercy employed
Fleeing from your gracious pursuit of my heart, oh Lord
I want what satisfies
Forgive my wandering, passionless soul
My spirit has been tried

Stripped bare before my Savior, I've nothing to hide
He's ravaged my heart and opened my life
What I thought I had I see it all as loss
I've no choice but to leave it all at the foot of the cross
Your love, Your love has cracked the vase of my heart
Pouring grace to the inside, so hard
Your love, Your love is my need; I can't ever forget
Your love is what put me inside of Your hands

The bridge is narrow, and there's no light in the dark
It's either watch your next step or go swim with the sharks
I'm not a tightrope walker, this game's not for me
Gotta scrape the scales off my eyes to actually see
Should I stay, should I go? Where to move I don't know
If time is little pebbles, stones are falling below
Making ripples in the river, that's rising too fast
Has all this deliberation been good or bad?
I've convinced myself to run ahead but also turn back
They both make so much sense, neither false, both are fact
I'm a prisoner, I'm chained inside of my own mind
Through the bars I scream, "I need to know, will truth be mine?"
Who's to love? Who's to hate?
It's a chance we all take
But confusing, I prefer to sit around and wait...
...And wait 'til the water's up around my neck
The invisible resistance gets me soaking wet
It takes my life, takes my passion, it takes what makes me, me
A life procrastination only always ends in defeat
Just take the next step, we've all got two feet
The probable's impossible when you refuse to leap
Because there's always one more bridge, another open door
And though we all have time we somehow always find more
Indecision's not a prize, not a ribbon to wear
In fact, I think it's sinister; it's the fear of despair
And fear comes from something living deep within us
It's the son of insecurity; it's pure lack of trust
We've been created to be sated in the One from above
He's better, He's more beautiful, He's the founder of love
And His love casts out fear, can't say it enough
And His love casts out fear, can't say it enough

When the lights go out and the dark is near
What's left shining is a silver sphere
Makes the grass glow white like the snowy morn
As the stars collide in an infinite orb

The clear night sky surrounds my home
Gives a feeling that I can't be alone
Such a beautiful scene, I can't begin to describe
It engulfs my soul, it's too much for my eyes

Such creation is art from the master's pen
It's easy for him by I wish I knew when
My spirit will rest in safety and peace
Like the star in the sky or the moon in the trees

I know he's here with me, but how soon I forget
That the maker of heaven is still my best friend
He's all that I have, there's nothing of mine
That compares to his beauty, even my best won't last

I see traveling moons and a cream galaxy
I fight to remember that he's crazy for me
