'Cause I am, I am, I am, I am
When I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
Jesus on the cross and this cross upon my back
I'm feeling underooted feeling undermined
Do you really love my soul, even after I hated you?
 
Gasoline
It crossed my mind, Yeah I got an idea
Chorus:
I was reminded my heart reeks of gasoline
I want to, I want to
I'm sitting here with my heart out on the table
(Chorus)
 
Saturn
Chorus:
(chorus)
Heaven has a ring around it
 
My Beautiful Robe
My head was bleeding so red
I cut down a tree said, Man would you look at me
Oh my brother, Your hands are full of sores
My beautiful cross carries on
I cut down the tree
I fell to my knees and I remember
 
Promise Blender
I am a promise maker
On the road to faithfulness
I am the promise maker
On my knees for the last time
You are the promise taker
You took me, and you own me
 
Paint
We cover up our shame
Chorus:
You took a walk on the planet
(chorus)
Paint me, mark me up
Take my black and white and yellow
 
Safe With You
Locked inside your every movement
Chorus:
Chaos in my head
Locked inside your creative being
(chorus)
Lifting up my voice
The screaming winds
(chorus)
Jesus, Jesus, I'm safe with you
 
You Thought
You try to walk away
Chorus:
Departed with a smile
Your eyes tell me what you feel
(chorus)
 
Bounaries
I will let me go
Chorus:
I lie here clothed and naked
I will let me go
(chorus)
You are more than all that is outside of me
 
Splinter
Chorus:
Here I think again to try to solve this puzzle
(chorus)
Jesus whispered softly, Jesus shouted it out
(chorus)
Splinter me, splinter me

I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains
All the grief I've learned to set aside
Feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
When I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed
I have learned to submit then I whine about my lack
Sometimes I drop my cross, deserve a little rest
That's when I run to you and I nail your feet and your wrist
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
Are you really more faithful than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun?
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
I can, I don't care if the rooster crows
I can

I'm doing a face to face with God
He picked up my heart and said,
What you want me to do with this?
I just blinked my eyes no smile, no laugh, no tears
No shrugging my shoulders
You could take my heart and put it in a padlocked box
What if they grab too hard or smash it, or throw it down
I'm scared of being hurt, I just want to live, live a happy life!
You want to, you want to
Soak my heart in gasoline
Light a match and consume me
Soak my pride in gasoline all of you and none of me
It bears the mark of a slave committed to life
Anyone who wants it will have to grab it from a real big God
Try to touch me, you'll be consumed, you'll be consumed
(Chorus)
Next to a bloody mess that was once a man's heart
I looked at God and said, What do you want me to do with this?
He said, Already done, already done, that heart was Jesus

Asking Him when will I change He said
No matter now, no matter now
Saturn has a ring around it
You can never see it with your eyes
Saturn has a ring around it
Many moons know this to be true
You ask Him how can You be real He said you'll be
Knowing Him how you do now He says rest in this
Rest in this
The angels sing a song over you
Heaven has a ring around you
If you don't see it know that it's true

I want to subscribe to your delight
So hold on and see what I do for you
Oh by the way, did you see me dressed in my beautiful robe?
But all the thorns in my crown, the roses blended
Instead with my beautiful robe carries on, I'll carry on
I stuck my head in a thorn bush, Man I was deceived
But God blessed you brother,
My nails are longer than yours
I was crucified with Christ
But how come I'm not dead
God gave me a cross
But I made my own instead
I'll carry on
I nailed myself to the wood
I screamed in agony
Cause the glory wasn't so good
The words of God pierced so hard,
Your righteousness is like filthy rags
And I fell to my knees and said, God My filthy robe

I saw a vision of your face
I made a my first
promise to you
Yeah ya know it took some time
But I love you now I realize
I am a promise breaker
I sometimes forget your name
But I can still see your face
And time after time
I hear you calling my name
I gotta name for me, I gotta a name,
I gotta name for me, I gotta name
I am the promise breaker
I could rip my heart out every day
I made my last promise to you
Yeah I could cry I could cry a million tears a day
And all I would hear you say is
You are the promise taker
You are the promise taker
You put them in your promise blender
And you bought me, and you love me
Promise keeper, keeper, keeper

We share the fruits of life
We live beneath this canopy
Why did we take that bite?
We walk in black and white
We turn this ground for hunger
Why did we take that bite?
Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me
Paint me and open my eyes, Paint me with the color of love
You gave us shade and light
You create mood and substance
How can I can take a bite?
In these frail, dot-to-dot lines
Color me from one red stream
From which all others flow
Brown and pink and pain and sorrow
Take my black and white and yellow
Brown and pink and hate and sorrow

I will be safe with you tonight
You cause the smile
And the teardrops in my eyes
Will I stand or will I fall?
Trapped inside of your walls of glory
I am just as dead leaves fall
Safe with you
Safe with you
The whole universe is at rest
When I'm in your arms
Is when I feel the best
Whirled about your unfailing truth
Attacked with power by ferocious love
Salvation alone belongs to you
To the God who really sees
The God who is consumed
With loving thoughts of me
And the crashing of the oceans
Shifting sands and the changing of the seasons
As I stand in awe and wonder
Nothing in the world has prepared me for you!

You put your head down low
C'mon take your time
Try to choose the most believable lie
And tell me everything's okay
You think you're saved by words
But you're drowning in the absurd
But to me it's no big surprise
You thought I never saw your eyes
Just like walking down the aisle
You shook the preacher's hand
But your smile can't hide your sin
Your eyes tell me what is real
Nobody's perfect is your prediction
Your life is proving your conviction!

Praying for the summer rains
Reaching in to pull back the curtains
Ruling in this desolate land
My walls melt away
You have no boundaries
You cross my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders
Dam bursts to cool ocean waves
Black water cleans the highway
Resting in the washing away
My walls melt away
You are more than that which is inside of me
You have no boundaries
I have no borders from you
You have no boundaries
I have no borders

Wrestle against the tree, my muscles aching
To get up now is death, to die is to really live
Flesh is restless, twisting, spasms in my back increasing
Splinter me, splinter me
My heart, my head
Splinter me
What is not yours I donąt want, my mind aching
To reconstruct my thoughts or let it blow away
You are all-knowing, changing, yeah you're killing me
His kingdom body coming
But we nail him up and hate each other
My broken body
Splinter me
