All Else Failed

RESISTANCE- 2:50


I won't allow it

I won't let it happen

This weakness will be strengthened

Take away this battle


Let Your fire burn within

Purify, purify

Don't release Your hand from me

I must surrender, must lay it down


What's to gain is my selfishness?

What will I promote

And what will be pushed back?

My hope must rise, strength some forward

Linking my had in Yours

I won't break the bond

No more will I remain the same


Let Your fire burn within

Purify, purify

Don't release Your hand from me

I must surrender, must lay it down


My God has ever loved Himself in me

I am convinced,I must say, I must say



IN LOVING KINDNESS- 3:31

We are a new creation

The old has gone, the new has come

Reconciled us to Himself

Through Christ Jesus

We will be free, forever knowing what will become of us

Thank you for the cross


Trusting in the balance

Has tilted me toward righteousness

Lifting my spirit once again

Sinking not in my functioning


Inhale, exhale this over and over again

Looking for tomorrow forgetting about today

Striving to tell them the truth

Dying, dying, dead

Through prayer and sacrifice into all the earth

With love and understanding


Now I look to importance

Standing here steadfast

To renew the spirit within me

Do not cast me from Your presence

Or take Your Holy Spirit from me



ENDURE- 4:57


I will endure

It will endure in me

Until the end forever

I will endure


If we continue in these ways

Rebellion bends toward hatred

We rise up for our cause

And forsake the outsiders

Where is this love, this understanding?

Who will stand?

What will bread down

If this uprise of self is left to reign?


This age screams for a standard to uphold

An answer for these questions

The wavering of beliefs lead to destruction

Nothing remains constant to its origin

But the unchanging faith of Christ

The One stable since creation


Thoughts have come and theories have gone

Nothing has lasted through, through resistance


But who can deny, who can dispute

The faith that's been throughout

Since the foundation of the beginning?

It has always been and always will be forever


It has been proven, it shall remain

This faith has stood the test

It persists through the conflict

Through the revolt against its ways

Nothing has held true like this

No other has revealed

No other has revealed such strength


The roots run deep within

Entangling around my rock, entangling

Never letting that has sustained me

I will endure in what I believe

And what I believe will endure in me

And what I believe will endure in me



GROWING IN GRACE- 4:33


His love (3X)

He is King

He is with us

He is God

He is with us

He is God

(Not a clue)


In refuge and strength

Ever present help in trouble

Without fear

As the nations uproar

And the kingdoms fall

He lifts His voice melting


He is with us

He is God

He is with us

He is God


In His purpose I will stand

I've been renewed by Him alone

We've been made by the Maker

Bought by the Buyer

Broken by the Breaker

I am His, I am His



FORESIGHT- 2:53


With open arms

I'll be held down by the Spirit of God

I refuse to turn away

By the world and its lies

Everlasting words like water flows through my heart

As the wisdom runs deep within


Foreseen through my Savior

The complication has been done

With wisdom and truth inside

No reflections from the past will come

And there will be no misconception

That would turn my faith away when I'm with You


Life the endless maze will not be so narrow

Soon time will not have to wait

For soon I will go against what awaits me


With open arms

I'll be held down by the Spirit of God

I refuse to turn away

By the world and its lies

Everlasting words like water flows through my heart

As the wisdom runs deep within


Foreseen through my Savior

The complication has been done

With wisdom and truth inside

No reflections from the past will come

And there will be no misconception

That would turn my faith away when I'm with You

I will lift up my spirit to be with You



PS. 77- 4:55


I cried out to God for help

I cried out to God to hear me

When I was distressed, I sought the Lord

At night I stretched out my hand

But I can not be comforted

I remember You God and I groaned

I mused and my spirit grew faint

You kept my eyes from closing

I was too troubled to speak

I thought about my former days the years long ago


I remember my songs in the night

My heart mused and my spirit inquired

Will the Lord reflect forever

Will He never show his favor again


Has this unfailing love vanished forever

Has His promise failed for all time

Has God forgotten to be merciful

Has the anger withheld His compassion


Then I thought

To this I will appeal

The years of the right hand of the Most High

I will remember the deeds of the Lord

Yes, I remember Your miracles of land ago

I will meditate on all Your works

And consider all Your mighty deeds

Your ways, oh God, are holy

What god is so great as our God



EXCHANGE- 3:09


Revelation, unknowing has been taken

Why had I waited so long

Refrained for this love

Never open to the hope He has

How could I reject this

He was calling my name

Searching for me

I always turned away

Not wanting to believe

I had a need for Him

Feeling this emptiness

Not knowing He could fill

Drowning in my efforts to find comfort

I searched and strived for the answer

But every step I fell

And the earth crumbled under me


Now I found this rock

This stable place

The pain has gone away

I please my hope in no other


My heart, it cries

It toils inside me

Wanting all to have this life

Wishing all to know this love

But I'm reminded of my turning

Closing my eyes

Running the other way

But I've decided

I opened my eyes

To find more than I was looking for

My mind screams

Knowing this is for all

But not all want what I've found


Now I found this Rock

This stable place

The pain has gone away

I place my hope in no other

I opened my eyes

To find more than I was looking for

My mind screams

Knowing this is for all

But not all want what I've found

Now I found this Rock

This stable place

The pain has gone away

I place my hope in no other



IN THESE TIMES OF SILENCE- 4:51


What else is there

After the slipping away

When everything is silent

And nothing is around, alone

Looking deep inside

Hearing the echo of my soul

No one can know


In there times of silence

These times of separation

I find there is a voice that rises up

A peace that brings my tears

A comfort that no one else can offer

(repeat)


So why do people turn away

Why they look elsewhere

And base there self on opinions

When the truth is so evident

That this God of Love is so constant

When every thing is gone

(repeat)


Destruction and storms

My Jesus stands to help



A SIMPLE REMINDER- 5:14


Erase my thoughts

Cancel my subscription

To the things of this world

I open eyes of deliverance

I'm color blind waiting to see

Want to finally say no

And walk away with a smile


Time after time my call is game over

But again and again this cancer spread

Bleeding and spitting guilt and convictions

As I lay in this pit, pit of defeat

Pit of defeat


Time after time my call is game over

But again and again my cancer spread

Bleeding and spitting guilt and convictions

As I lay in this pit, pit of defeat


Once again to try to beat it out

Over and over again

So worn


To watch Him die and smile

At His dismay

His pain my deliverance

My cleanliness a gift of freedom

My walk purified

My peace given by God


Erase my thoughts

Cancel my subscription

To the things of this world

I open eyes of deliverance

I'm color blind



ALL ELSE FAILED- 12:27


Why, for what do we strive that will bring, bring us closer

No human deed will show us approved

For two thousand years we've chocked on our efforts

Only to lay down and die

Things change

And things stay the same

Through all these trials

I cannot compose myself

Till there is a time

That no heaviness

Fills my heart

I cannot compose myself

So in all this there must arise a plan

A strategy to subdue the schemes

For generation upon generation God retained a silence

That shattered the hears of men

And for a season, all else, all else failed


Because I'm different (5X)


There is no other name

Given among men whereby

They might be saved in all these years

When men crawled the earth

Choking on his tears

No composure nor completion reigned


No self-righteous cleansing

Leaning on the strength of self or another man

No human effort can bring holiness

Or even the strength to stand

There is no explanation for this reasoning

The only thing in life that is constant is Jesus


At 9:18 into the song, there is a neat little song. The words were too quiet for me to understand.
