Thorns holding back your shine
A fire through the artery vine
thinking about how much i’ve sighed
that i’ve met love and said goodbye
it’s gonna come back
but until then i’m ash and dust
but it’s nothing compared
to the way you ache for us
my blood doesn’t know where to flow
sinking in the love that comes and goes
know if i hold it it’s dead
through the beat of my heart you said
“i’m gonna come back
but until then you’ve gotta trust
i don’t want to leave so soon
but i must.
And I will always be with you.”

lord have mercy on me
i'm just a dude
lord have mercy on me
i want to be your boo
Lord have mercy upon me
Christ have mercy upon me
and all the saints couldn't pretend
that even the smallest sin
could have an end
lord have mercy on me
i'm just a boy
lord have mercy on me
the devil has made his toy
I know the void will always be there
But grant me the strength
To avoid its blinding stare
The Lord had mercy upon me
Yes he did
Glory be to him always
Yes indeed

loneliness prayer

i made him laugh
i made him laugh
the twinkle in his eye
cut me in half
i made him laugh
and he made me cry
Because i never saw him again
but if i pray for a dream that lasts
maybe i can see you in the dream i didn't have
it's only the soul i can know
and even then i'm slow
I only go to God when I’m lonely
It’s just a cope, help me
Amen

John the Baptist threw a rock into the lake
John the Baptist knew the Leviathan would wake
there's only one thing left to do
before he paves the way for you
John the Baptist sent the beast into the lake
No it's gone for good,
The Son of Man will wake

after 40 days in the desert
in the distance there’s a treasure
i can see
and even though we denied and betrayed
We are bound to be set free
On the third day that he left us
visit the tomb to find it empty and helpless
But an angel in white
Points us towards new life
Easter is finally here!
and it’s coming to me
and coming to you too
the spirit is finally here!
and it’s flying to me
and flying to you too
After running away in danger
We are greeted by a stranger on the road
and like the sun rising in the east
He waved and wished us peace
After 40 days in the desert
We saw something we couldn’t measure
Blinded, but then into sight
Our messiah clothed in light!
Easter is finally here!
and it’s coming to me
and coming to you too
the spirit is finally here!
and it’s flying to me
and flying to you too
Jesus is risen today
and he’s waving to me
and waving to you too
Jesus is risen today
and he’s waving to me
and waving to you too
