Lyrics ::
01. Hymn 140

(Words adapted from the hymn by Charles Wesley)

Glory fills the skies, Christ, the only Light
Son of Righteousness, triumphs over night
Saviour from on high, be near; now today
Always in my heart to stay

Dark and cheerless without thee

Joyful is the day’s return
When thy mercy’s beams I see
When thy inward light impart
Still my soul, and warm my heart

Holy Spirit, come, pierce the gloom of sin
Radiance divine, scatter all my grief
Change this heart of mine
To love you ever more
God, the one that I adore

More and more thyself displayed

Dark and cheerless without thee
Lord, display thyself in me
Glorified through all my deeds
More and more thyself in me
‘Til at last thy face I see

More and more thyself displayed within me

Words by Charles Wesley; music by Alanna Rodgers, Andrew Judd, Andrew Massey & Garage Hymnal (© 2011 Garage Hymnal/Rhinoceros Music Publishing)

02. Bind Us Together/Unity

John 17:11

We delight in righteousness
We rest in your arms, hunger for the lost
Stand here as one, as one

We are humbled by your grace
In awe of your love, long for unity
We long for unity

That we may be one as you are one
Father, Spirit, Son, you are one
You are one

We delight in righteousness
We rest in your arms, hunger for the lost
Stand here as one, as one

We are humbled by your grace
In awe of your love, long for unity
We long for unity

That we may be one as you are one
Father, Spirit, Son, you are one
You are one,

That we may be one as you are one
Father, Spirit, Son, you are one
You are one

There is work for our hands
Ground for our feet
(Words that must be spoken,
Salvation must be spoken)
x4

That we may be one as you are one
Father, Spirit, Son, you are one
You are one

03. Fairest Lord Jesus

(Words adapted from the traditional hymn translated by Joseph A. Seiss, Colossians 1:16)

Fairest Lord Jesus, Lord of all creation
Jesus, of God and Man
You will I cherish, you will I honour
You are my soul’s delight and crown

Fair are the meadows, fair are the woods
Robed in the blooms of spring
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer
He makes the saddest heart to sing

Fair are the flowers, fair are the children
Beautiful in all their youth
Yet is their beauty, fading and fleeting
Lord Jesus yours will never fade

Fair is the moonlight, fairer still the sunshine
Fair is the starry sky
My Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines clearer
Than all the heavenly host on high

All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly
Jesus, in you is found
None can be nearer, fairer or dearer
Than you my Saviour to me bound

I vow to you, my Saviour
That where your feet have trod
I will serve and always follow you
My Jesus, my God

Words by German Jesuits, English translation by Joseph A. Seiss, 1873;
Music by Alanna Rodgers, Richard Fenton, Greg Cooper, Andrew Judd & Garage Hymnal.

Excerpt from ‘I Vow To Thee, My Saviour’ (1918) - words by Richard T. Bewes after Cecil Spring-Rice; music by Gustav Holst


04. We Are Waiting

(Titus 2:11-14)

Terrible wounds on your body
Indelible marks of your love
Have gathered your people together
A shadow of glory above

Shattering walls of division
Nations will worship as one
You are the God of all people
You are the God who has come

We are waiting
We are waiting here for you

Come lead your people home again
Come show your power and reckless love
May we arise and take our place
May we be worthy of this call now

Comforting words for your people
The time for our mourning has passed
Darkness of exile is over
Salvation appearing at last

Leading us home through the desert
Keep us from wandering apart
Help us to treasure each other
The broken ones dear to your heart

words & music by Greg Cooper, Andrew Judd & Garage Hymnal

05. Amen

(2 Corinthians 1:20)

When we are broken, you will heal

When are weary, you will fill
 

When we are desperate, you will hear

When we are hurting, you deliver

Your promises find their "Yes" in Christ
Your love is steadfast, it is sure
You are the anchor for our souls
So we sing

We sing amen, we sing glory to you
We sing amen, we sing glory to you
Our God is faithful, our God is here

When we are crying, you embrace
When we are lonely, you are grace

You are good, you are gracious
You are God and we worship
You are good, you are gracious
You are God and we worship

You put a seal on our hearts
We are yours, so we worship
You are here in this place
You are God!

06. Holy One

There is no one else but you
You alone are God
There is no one else for us, you alone are LORD

In your goodness and your grace
God, you never change
Perfect and eternal one, age to age, the same

You are God
Holy one, we praise you

Holy Spirit move in us, show us how to love
Teach our hands and guide our feet, fix our eyes above

Why do I love you God?
Because you are beautiful, because you are holy, because you are good

Why do I love you God?
Because you are glorious, because you are constant, because you are life
You are the one I love, you are the one I love
You are the one I love, because you are God


07. Sunday Came

(John 20:29)

Sunday came, darkness hides in shame
Desert plains, greet the morning sun
Mourn no more, feel the rising joy
Hearts revived, dust returns to life

We have not seen but we know you’re alive
We know not when but that soon we will see

Someday soon, clouds will part again
You will come, riding victory
Earth will bow, justice waits for you
Bodies new, we will rise with you

And we’re singing hallelujah
And we’re singing hallelujah to you Lord
And we’re singing hallelujah
For you have come

08. Found In You

You are, shield for defenceless ones
Help for the fatherless
Grace for the broken
You are exalted above all else

You are my rock, you are my stronghold
You are my light, you are my saviour
Whom shall I fear?
I will be found in you

You are, the one hiding place from sin
Resplendent with light and power
Forgiving and good
You are exalted above all else

I call on you, you lift me up
I am your child made new
I call on you, you lift me up
I am your child made new

09. We Praise You

(Words adapted from the ancient liturgical hymn ‘Te Deum’)

We praise you, our God, our Lord
Together with angels, we as one
Cry Holy, Lord God of hosts
Heaven and earth could not subdue

Give us your help now, our sovereign Lord
All of your people, you’ve bought with blood
Bless us and keep us, your mercy light our faces
Light our faces, God
Light our way

You came down, faced sharpest death
Opened up life to all on earth
You sit now at God’s right hand
Bringing your justice on our land

10. Stand Firm

When legs are heavy feet are worn
Our spirits sink and writhe and turn
We will fix our eyes on our eternal prize

Once we were blackened dead in sin
And now death has lost its sting
For in Jesus victory over death is won

Stand firm, be strong, courage, hold on for our God

Time will come when days are done
All will bow before the holy one
Glory, honour, majesty
I forever worship thee alone, my God

Like the fool who built the boat
When the rains were not in sight
Faith is trusting God there’s more than meets the eye

We are fools but not ashamed
We are tired not overcome
We have treasures hidden deep in jars of clay

11. May The Words
(Psalm 19:14)

May the words of my mouth
And the cries of my heart
And may all of my days
Be for you
Be for you always

12. All That I Am


All that I was, all that I am
Graciously change me and make me yours
All that I own, all that I’ve lost
Humbly I lay into your hands

All my desires, all of my sin
Take my thoughts captive and make them yours
All that I want, all of my plans
Help me to hold with open hands

Heavenly Father, you are unchanging
Maker of all things, you are the holy one
Hear my soul cry: ‘Make this heart new’

We have one saviour
We have one lamp to guide our feet
We have one calling
We have one hope in you alone

All that awaits, all the unknown
Teach me to trust you, faithful one
All of my life, even to death
May you be glorified in me

Location :: Portland, USA

1. Circadian
Dangerous lines that glow in the moonlight
I've been crossing worlds of silver seas
To numbers and colors and absolute hours
A life I lived held down inside their arms

Now to waking night I've come to pay
All my debts they turned and tossed away
Now they drink to sparkle their mistakes

And they're burying all of the evidence
My glamourous words will catch them
Burying all of the evidence
Some thousands of eyes are watching

Now while they sleep I've got endless hours
To leap through windows flying over trees
In the waving world of polyrhythmic lines
And space to fake fictitious plans

In the waking night I've made a clamoring
While they tilted heads my faith they were questioning
Movie lines they wrap them up to sleep
And the creeping tune inside them spidering


02. The Wonder
There's a circle of tangled wires
With an endless trail into bedrooms - that connected them all
So you speak lies, speak your mind
But all these words can be dulled out with the pills they discovered

Pretend that I don't have a limit
Your body of glass and your fingers intwined stringed
They're behind your back
Can be seen

You have made a terrible plan
But I can still run
Shot across some distant outlet
Electrical lungs can't hold back a beautiful beat
That's coursing my veins
Cause my heart's a perfect wonder

Turning pages and signing paychecks
With a stack to heaven and back
It stands like a towering fear
While the signal just spins around us
An invisible tangling machine
With an ominous gear

You pretend that I don't have a future that you can destroy
With the touch of your hand on my hand
Like you don't have a promise that would be kept

So how can you reach me?


03. Blue Ghost
You can see I am in shock
To catch you wearing wires underneath your heart
It was mechanical
But we were born to endless architecture
Spinning to a fault and infinitely strewn
Where you'd be ahead of your time

Cause in this place it's beautiful

Tracing lines your flaws connect the starry skies
He is tracing lines like flashes right before your eyes
Grace comes like a thief in the night
It comes like a thief in the night
It blooms in the weak and the blind

Then they finished their machine
It's algorithmic parts perfectly in time
And that's how they found you
But listen you are born into a landscape
That's glittering like water and covered by a blood
It has been bruised at the heel, the wire's been cut


04. Diamnds
Storm turn inside me like seas in the storm drains This is not who I am
Patterns of futures that wander away in mysterious planes

Through the window
I can see you sun lit golden eyes
You got me so caught up oh my God

Arms wrap around you
It's reckless but true once you let it in
Born in the water, take quick to the trees
I want all that you are

I'm taken from the brokenness - it's telling you to start
It's taken from the brokenness - it's telling you to start
Oh what a strange place


05. The Light Beam Rider
We are drifting in and out of time once again
A moment with suspended hours
All the while oblivious to casts from the grave
Some quiet poised and waiting aim

We are no more than criminals to take what we never had
And across the night there's some criminal who gives what we never had

This is the life everyone has
Dangerous in, dangerous out

So take your heart and cut some holes out breathe in slower speeds
Let gravity take its heed
Of rhythms in a mellatronic rise and recede
A tragical note resonates

We are no more than criminals to take what we never had
No greater love comes from all we know, a grace, like we've never had

Love take hold when leaving this home
Take hold when leaving this home

But all we know are the things that float between stars and our extremities
And when we die there are holes the size of the things we fear would be left behind


06. Oceans
From a lonely spell I felt another life
It leapt before me some dangerous grace

Believe when I say that I want to try
Cause I've been used up and hope has run out

See me alone - this is what they wanted
To see me alone

If your heart's an ocean, then I will drown
Beneath the waves, there will be love

I found a cavern right below my life
That time has passed through and folded inside

And now the future is a waving rise
A mysterious turn, that's telling me that — I saw the future


07. Mscron
Light stings his eyes
Can't turn back now
It was so slow that they couldn't predict it
His mind is just treading in infinite space

Cause he can't believe some mysterious chamber
Broke a dangerous leak
That turned to a storming sea it's swallowing up
The last that he knew of beauty

Was it all smoke and mirrors?

A man walked in the room
And sat by his son
Here are the words that are meant to be spoken
This is my purpose, of these words you should know

Close your eyes now
This is the last strength you'll have
Remember your life it was a brilliant color
Remember your mother she was a glowing ember
Remember your heart it had a perfect owner

Sleep now, diving up in pools
Sleep sound leave your fears to fools


08. Vates
They knew my hands were still wrapped around
What they claimed were diamnds from inside
The long hallway I'm floating down to their corridor

And at first I saw the flashes and the beams
But before I knew it I could barely breathe

They looked back to see if I was following them
But I never really left at all
And they turned back to scream that I'm the terrible one
But I just finally found my heart

Beneath the construct of strange machines
They were hiding it away from reach
So betrayed them with tragic speed
My heart calls to me


09. Forms and Shapes
Help! Things have shaken me
Vascular waves, tracing the same three colorings I have
But now I just noticed this

Slow motion inside
Changing this all somehow
Calling out to take us
Life in between lines
We're wounded and terrified
Calling out to save these lonely forms and shapes

This light with angles spinning here
Worked through my lungs
And spoke out the seams with architect
Now how could I turn back?

You're formed lovely
Mysterious lines have traced you out a beautiful life
It's poor but resonates the sound of falling grace


10. Slow Waves
They had my lungs on machines
Their rhythm is pumping air - I'm terrified
But I won't let my hope go
I won't let my heart keep from leaping out
It's leaping out


11. Darkspeed (Bonus Track)
I woke inside an avalanche
The floor is caving under me
A helicopter's resonating sound
I heard before the drop
Was proof of semiconic odds
That my heart below was fluttering

And in the darkest hour, I still believe in lights
And when I'm losing color, I still believe in lights
It's flashing sharp, now don't be afraid
Uncage your heart, now don't be afraid

The nearest house along the street
Where waves are hushing through the trees
Are swimming me to sleep
Cause even when the moon is down
And the power lines are taken out
The helicopter's sounding out

They all said I lost hope
But I believe you're calling me home
I believe your love has no bounds
I believe my heart is on fire
I believe my heart is uncaged
