Ten thousand men go marching up
The hill and when they reach the top
They go on marching down
To fields of blood and spoils of war and then
It’s 5am I don’t know what
I’m doing up and on the floor
It’s just so strange to see
The grace that’s raining down on me
(Raining down on me)
There’s no rhyme, there’s no reason
Must be the season, of God’s love
Through broken glass and hungry eyes
A father tells his children lies
He says he’s coming back
But he knows he’s not coming back again
I could have been that man if I
Had not surrendered to the call
The pull was strong enough
To bend my will and break my fall
(No more need to fall)
I can’t make the snow come down
I cannot make it rain
I can’t make the sun go down
Or rise to burn again
I can’t make you love me more no matter how I try
Your grace alone can justify
That kind of love just mystifies
It’s out of my hands – though I try so hard
It’s out of my hands – when I slip and fall
It’s out of my hands – I will rest in you
You know my voice – you hear my call
It’s out of my hands
I can’t make the world spin ‘round
Or catch a falling star
I can’t set the night on fire
And burn away the dark
I can’t make you love me more
Can’t impress you with my deeds
I can’t make you love me less
That kind of love is what I need
That kind of love is what I need
It’s out of my hands – though I try so hard
It’s out of my hands – when I slip and fall
It’s out of my hands – I will rest in you
You know my voice – you hear my call
It’s out of my hands – when I have no strength
It’s out of my hands – I will look to you
It’s out of my hands – You will never fail
Your love’s a grip I can’t slip through
I couldn’t catch my breath
I almost worked myself to death
Thinking I could earn your love
Be good enough to get to Heaven
I had no hope to celebrate
Beneath the weight of my own burden
But you came
And everyday became a holiday
Memories of my hollow days
Are scattered on a sea of grace
You came
And everyday became a holiday
Disbelief was turned to faith
Love became a holiday
I played the perfect part
Thinking I could justify my heart to you
But you revealed the truth to me
So I could see my true condition
What I thought was righteousness
Was nothing less than blind ambition
I could never keep up with what I had to do
‘Til your freedom left me with peace
and nothing left to prove
But you revealed the truth to me
So I could see my true condition
What I thought was righteousness
Was nothing less than blind ambition
Ten steps to the wall and ten steps back
Wore a groove in the floor maybe six feet deep
Retracing the same old track
Now it's safe to say, it felt safe to be
Hiding in my room with my old routine
'Til isolation took a whole new spin
Confrontation took a whole new spin
Your love love love took a whole new spin
There's a brand new light on the world I'm in
It was in my face underneath my skin
Your love love love took a whole new spin
Heard your voice outside it sounded so sweet
Drove a hook in my soul drew me over to the door
Seems it got the best of me
Oh, I opened it a crack, you kicked it in
Turned it upside down, won't be the same again
Communication took a whole new spin
Revelation took a whole new spin
Your love love love took a whole new spin
There's a brand new light on the world I'm in
It was in my face underneath my skin
Your love love love took a whole new spin
Communication took a whole new spin
Revelation took a whole new spin
I could speak with the tongues of angels
I could speak with the tongues of men
I could whisper the language of heaven
Like a chiming of bells in the wind
But it's a far cry from love
It's a far cry from love
I could open the doors of a mystery
Turn all these shadows to light
Keep faith when the odds are against me
Believe when I'm losing my sight
But it's a far cry from love
It's a far cry from love
It's a far, far cry from love
All my passion, my tears, and my blood
Sacrifice will never be enough
If I don't have a heart of love
Then I am nothing more
Than hollow fading words
Nothing without love
I could open my arms to the hungry
Fight to keep flesh on their bones
Surrender my body for burning
Lay down everything that I own
But it's a far cry from love
It's a far cry from love
It's a far, far cry from love
A far cry from love
Hiding tears
Far beyond your years
Try to take a stand
Holding all command
Empty souls
Remain in control
Outward beauty here
Still it's all you know
Market deals
Losing their appeal
Now your pallet's changed
Look for other meals
Production snort
Take it all to court
Wanting victory
But you come up short
Responsibility is not a word you want to hear or read
Prioritizing and start realizing his love
Needing to swallow your pride
Filling your ears while you're holdin gback tears left inside
You're always talking loudly
You're only talking to yourself
You look inside for answers
When they'll be found in someone else
Do you hear what I'm speaking
Or am I talking to myself
I never caught the vision
Until I looked high
Tradition's views
Causing you to lose
In the other ones
Still you've one to choose
The time is here
For a tired career
Invest in truth
While the picture's clear
What is the plan, Satan, to make a boy into a man
When you're equipping you're staring and slipping down
Smiling when you can't take no more
Still acting cool as you pick yourself up off the floor
You're always talking loudly
You're only talking to yourself
You look inside for answers
When they'll be found in someone else
Do you hear what I'm speaking
Or am I talking to myself
I never caught the vision
Until I looked high
Open your eyes to the other side of life
Let it flow, let it flood, let it run through your blood
Catch the rope, your last hope, hear the bell
Or you can throw your dreams down a wishing well
You're always talking loudly
You're only talking to yourself
You look inside for answers
When they'll be found in someone else
Do you hear what I'm speaking
Or am I talking to myself
I never caught the vision
Until I looked high
Deep in the quiet of my soul the truth I know
Tested by sorrow, pain and tears, through bitter years
Waiting for answers to my prayers, you were there
The days and nights you brought me through
Shaped my faith in you
It's the simple things I hold on to
It's the simple things I find in you
It's to you I sing and to you I cling
It's the simple things
It's the simple things that make me see
It's the simple things that set me free
As I learn to wait you renew my faith
Through the simple things knowing you're my Lord
Finding your promises of hope, the words you spoke
Friends beside me on this road to share the load
Pouring my heart out unto you and listening too
Resting in your perfect love, I can't get enough of
It's the simple things I hold on to
It's the simple things I find in you
It's to you I sing and to you I cling
It's the simple things
It's the simple things that make me see
It's the simple things that set me free
As I learn to wait you renew my faith
Through the simple things knowing you're my Lord
These things that I could never live without
The means of grace to guide my heart
When I'm lost in this world of doubt
You bring me home to the
It's the simple things I hold on to
It's the simple things I find in you
It's to you I sing and to you I cling
It's the simple things
It's the simple things that make me see
It's the simple things that set me free
As I learn to wait you renew my faith
Through the simple things knowing you're my Lord
It's the simple things I hold on to
It's the simple things I find in you
It's to you I sing and to you I cling
It's the simple things
It's the simple things that make me see
It's the simple things that set me free
As I learn to wait you renew my faith
Through the simple things knowing you're my Lord
His daddy told him when he was five
Real men don't cry
The whole world sold him this pack of lies
Real men don't cry
So his tender heart turns colder
As the days turn into years
He's erasing all the traces of his tears
He wants to be a man
He wants to be strong
But it's hard to know exactly what to do
'Cause he can't be the man
He's meant to be
'Til he can be a man
Who find himself in you
He's building walls and they're ten feet high
Real men don't cry
As deep within him his spirit dies
Real men don't cry
Oh, embrace him, man of sorrows
Show him what a man can be
'Til there's nothing left to prove and he is free
He wants to be a man
He wants to be strong
But it's hard to know exactly what to do
'Cause he can't be the man
He's meant to be
'Til he can be a man
Who find himself in you
Said that he would answer every need
Said that we could trust him and believe
If your God hasn't found an answer yet
You better dfind a way to hedge your bets
You need an angel in this game
You got to make yourself a name
Cross your fingers for that lucky break
Too insecure to live by faith
We're always looking for some other way
Shake, shake, shake the money tree
Shake, shake, shake the money tree
Trusting in our wealth
Trusting in ourselves
Shake, shake, shake the money tree
Contentment is a secret we can learn
Regardless of the money that we earn
It doesn't come by rising in the world
It comes by taking Jesus at his word
He has promised to provide
Everything we need for life
Now we're caught inside a living lie
To insecure to live by faith
We're always looking for some other way
Shake, shake, shake the money tree
Shake, shake, shake the money tree
Trusting in our wealth
Trusting in ourselves
Shake, shake, shake the money tree
You gotta, gotta raise that sex appeal
You gotta, gotta work that busness deal
You got to charge what you cannot steal
Deep inside you're scrounging for a meal
Make a perfect idol of your wealth
Every man and woman for themselves
You burn your conscience on the corner shelf
You're dying while you're trusting in yourself
Sometimes hiding in my soul
Fear and pain too deep to ever know
I ran from what I did not understand
Until your mercy took control
I was running through a maze of questions
When the answer came to me
Beyond all words
Now I'm trembling in your presence
Broken by a love that moves
Beyond all words
So afraid to feel your touch
Fearing love would cost me far too much
All it cost me was my foolish pride
When I finally opened up inside
I can't explain this feeling
Indescribable
Beyond all words
You alone offered hope and healing
Peace and comfort comes
Beyond all words
Now I'm trembling in your presence
Broken by a love that moves
Beyond all words
Restling in a perfect stillness
Indescribable
Beyond all words
If I had one wish to choose
Here is everything I wish to do
Just to lose myself inside your love
Just to find myself in you
I can't explain this feeling
Indescribable
Beyond all words
You alone offered hope and healing
Peace and comfort comes
Beyond all words
Now I'm trembling in your presence
Broken by a love that moves
Beyond all words
Restling in a perfect stillness
Indescribable
Beyond all words
Another rainy morning has come to greet me
dark, stormy clouds they fill my skies
but when the lightening starts her flashing
i feel my father rush to my side
i can feel His love falling down from the heavens
and he’s wrapping warm arms around my shivering soul
i can hear his voice tenderly calling
come take my hand let us go home
another cold night has hushed my singing
my weary soul drowns in the depth of my tears
that’s when i feel him lie down beside me
and with strong hands, takes away my fears
Every river needs the water
Every mountain rocks and trees
Every snowfall needs some whiteness
To believe in
Every heart will need some loving
Every soul some lasting peace
While the earth keeps spinning 'round
(CHORUS)
You can't have one without the other
Green and blue need earth and sky
They cannot seperate us if they try
'Cause love's the reason
Doesn't matter if you're happy
Doesn't matter if you're sad
In everything there comes a season
So be glad in
All the times when there is trouble
Know that there's a helping hand
From someone who understands
(Repeat CHORUS)
Love, love, love's the reason why
Love, love, love's the reason why
(Solo)
(Repeat CHORUS)
Can't have one without the other, love's the reason
Can't have one without the other, love's the reason why
