My salvation's coming, my Jesus died for me My salvation's coming, my Jesus died for me My sins are forgiven when he went to Calvary My debt is paid for when he went to Calvary Calvary Calvary ... When this body stops moving with grace And it starts to stumble while running this race And the things that once came easy now takes the breath from me But, it will never take my praises to the Lord OH, 'cuz I believe! When my knees can no longer stand straight And my walking starts losing its gait And a runner now becomes a thing... a thing I used to be! With God I'll still be walkin OH, 'cuz I believe! Oh, God gave me a heart of flesh and Smashed this heart of stone He's gonna seat me at His table And I will praise Him at the throne I'm told that there's a room for me In our Father's home 'Cuz I believe in Jesus And I know I'm not alone! When I get struck down in my sleep or in my pain And comes the day this body never moves again And I go back where I came from and on this earth I cease to be! I'll rock out "HOLY! HOLY! HOLY!" 'Cuz you know that I believe! I'm gonna be rockin' out with Jesus! OH, 'cuz I believe! I praise my God in Heaven OH, 'cuz I believe!

Take 04:36
Take this weight from me I can't lift it anymore My body feels so tired It wants to fall down on the floor My hands are feeling broken Gnarled and twisted from the pain Barely holding on To the hope that keeps me going I feel my fingers slip away Take this heart from me I can't feel it anymore Beaten, bruised and very broken Laying shattered on the floor All the pieces they lay scattered Some are crushed beneath my feet I try to hold the dust It slips on through my fingers Blown away into defeat As life inflicts its pain I cry out, again and again Take this life from me I can't live it anymore And never for the sake of trying The price was more than I could afford The yoke that's holding all my burdens It's weight is crushing to my knees My sin and shame were more than I could ever carry The weight is surely killing me I am waiting for you, Jesus To lift this burden off of me My back is breaking from my Sin's accumulations Only You can set me free SET ME FREE! If the Son sets me free I am free indeed SET ME FREE! FREE! FREE!

I heard the news today Like a bomb dropped at my door Precious dreams lay shattered Hopes scattered on the floor Silence boldly broken Heavy words been spoken Our emotions frozen Thoughts spinning in mass confusion Hoping that it's just illusion Feeling like all our hope is gone But we'll keep moving on Feel the tension in the air Tearing through our veins The weight of reality pulling in As denial turns to pain Praying for some intervention Despite our best intentions We somehow feel like we failed Thinking if we just had one more chance We'd do it differently But our chance of that is slim to none So we'll keep moving on It feels the world has fallen down While the people turn away Ignoring all our cries But if you put your hand in mine We will get up one more time As we sing one final song And we'll keep moving on

How did I get to be this way Standing here beside myself I see it slip away Feeling like a part of me Is tearing up inside I’m running cuz I'm running out of time How can I feel beyond this pain This weight that keeps on pulling me Dragging me in chains I need you to set me free From the prison I'm inside Free me cuz I'm running out of time Crying out from deep inside On my knees, I call your name I'm swallowing my pride Take this poison, wash me clean Make me purified Save me cuz I'm running out of time

For all that You are And all that is You I want to thank you Lord I want to thank you Lord For all that You say And all that You do I want to thank you Lord I want to thank you Lord For all that you give And all that you take And I want to thank you Lord Thank you Lord The source of my joy The comfort to all my pain I want to thank you Lord I want to thank you Lord I want to thank you I want to thank you, Lord! I want to thank you I want to thank you, Lord!

I Wanna Be 04:25
I wanna be your Superman Fly you anywhere I can I want to take you by the hand Lead you to a distant land Just call my name and here I am I wanna be your man of steel I wanna be the real deal I want break down all the walls And answer to your calls Any time that you may feel But I Don't wanna be One you leave aside Don't let me Be denied I wanna be By your side Leave your heart satisfied I wanna be your teddy bear Anytime, Anywhere When you need a squeeze It would take too much to please Reach for me and I'll be there And I wanna be your loud guitar Be the music that you are When life gets too extreme And when you need to scream Bang on me I won’t be far But I Don't wanna be The one you leave behind I would just lose my mind I wanna be Your happiness supplied Make you feel good inside I wanna be your rock song One that you're singing all day long So anytime you've got a frown I can turn it upside-down Every time you sing along

I want to take you by the hand Take you places we've never been In our minds I want to dance upon the clouds Feel the raindrops on my feet Before they leave the sky CHORUS: Only in our dreams we run and fly We play all day and night We can watch the sun set and rise As we're dancing with the moon I want to ride through the wind I want to feel it blowing me To the other side I want to ride up to the stars Travel on a beam of northern light In the summer sky BRIDGE: We can stay inside And share each other's dreams Me inside yours You inside mine We can waltz on top of rainbows As we dance into the sky And leave the world behind I want to walk across the sand Walk into the sunset With the tide I want to swim across the sea Feel the waves rocking me To their lullaby

about

Many of the songs on this album document my triumphs and trials within the past few years. There were a lot of things that happened in where I wouldn't have made it through, were it not for the faith that I've have in God through my Saviour, Jesus Christ. One of the best things that got me through many of the events was the love of music that God gave me, and this is my chance to share some of them.

And, in all of this - the events, and the songs the came forth from them, I made it not on my own strength.
