I Can

Looking on the sad times, the guilt and all the shame
I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains
All
the grief I've learned to set aside
'Cause I am, I am, I am
Feeling underooted feeling undermined
Can this
grace of God cover me this time?
When I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
When I hear the rooster crow I
am ashamed
Jesus on the cross and this cross upon my back
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
I'm feeling
underooted feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
Do you really love my soul, even after
I hated you?
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
Gasoline

I'm sitting with my heart out on the table
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
It
crossed my mind, Yeah I got an idea
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!
Chorus:
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
I was reminded my heart reeks of gasoline
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
I
want to, I want to
(Chorus)
I'm sitting here with my heart out on the table
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
(Chorus)
Saturn

I ask Him when will I be free He said I am
Asking Him when will I change He said
No matter now, no matter now
Chorus:
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
(chorus)
Heaven
has a ring around it
The angels sing a song over you
Heaven has a ring around you
If you don't see it know that it's
true
My Beautiful Robe
Words and Music by John Cooper.

I want pleasure in your sight
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?
My head was bleeding so red
But all the thorns in my crown,
the roses blended
Instead with my beautiful robe carries on, I'll carry on
I cut down a tree said, Man would you
look at me
I stuck my head in a thorn bush, Man I was deceived
Oh my brother, Your hands are full of sores
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
My beautiful cross carries on
I'll carry on
I cut down the
tree
I nailed myself to the wood
I screamed in agony
Cause the glory wasn't so good
I fell to my knees
and I remember
The words of God pierced so hard,
Your righteousness is like filthy rags
And I fell to my knees
and said, My filthy robe
Promise Blender

When I was a young boy
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 maker
I am a promise breaker
On the road to
faithfulness
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 maker
I
am the promise breaker
On my knees for the last time
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 are the promise taker
You put them in your promise blender
You took
me, and you own me
And you bought me, and you love me
Promise keeper, keeper, keeper
Paint
Words and Music by Ken Steorts.

We take a walk in the garden
We share the fruits of life
We live beneath this canopy
Why did we take that
bite?
We cover up our shame
We walk in black and white
We turn this ground for hunger
Why did we take
that bite?
Chorus:
Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me
Paint me with open eyes, Paint me with the color
of love
You took a walk on the planet
You gave us shade and light
You create mood and substance
How can
I can take a bite?
(chorus)
Paint me, mark me up
In these frail, dot-to-dot lines
Color me from one
red stream
From which all others flow
Take my black and white and yellow
Brown and pink and pain and sorrow
Take my black and white and yellow
Brown and pink and hate and sorrow
(chorus)
Safe With You
Words and Music by John Cooper.

Learning inside
I will be safe with you tonight
You cause the smile
And the teardrops in my eyes
Locked
inside your every movement
Will I stand or will I fall?
Trapped inside of your walls of glory
I am just as dead
leaves fall
Chorus:
Safe with you
Safe with you
Chaos in my head
The whole universe is at rest
When
I'm in your arms
Is when I feel the best
Locked inside your creative being
Whirling about your unfailing truth
Attacked with power by ferocious love
Salvation alone belongs to you
(chorus)
Lifting up my voice
To
the God who really sees
The God who is consumed
With loving thoughts of me
The screaming winds
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!
(chorus)
Jesus, Jesus, I'm safe with you
You Thought

You try to answer slow
You put your head down low
C'mon take your time
Try to choose the most believable
lie
You try to walk away
And tell me everything's okay
You think you're are saved by words
But you're
drowning in the absurd
Chorus:
But to me it's no big surprise
You thought I never saw your eyes
Departed
with a smile
Just like walking down the isle
You shook the preacher's hand
But your smile can't hide your sin
Your eyes tell me what you feel
Your eyes tell me what is real
Nobody's perfect is your prediction
Your
life is proving your conviction!
(chorus)
Boundaries
Words and Music by Ken Steorts.

I stand here closed and open
Praying for the summer rains
Reaching in to pull back the curtains
Ruling in
this desolate land
I will let me go
My walls melt away
Chorus:
You have no boundaries
You cross
my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders
I lie here clothed and naked
Dam bursts to cool
ocean waves
Black water cleans the highway
Resting in the washing away
I will let me go
My walls melt
away
(chorus)
You are more than all that is outside of me
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
Splinter

Here I lie again inside this broken body
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
Chorus:
Splinter me, splinter
me
My heart, my head
Splinter me
Here I think again to try to solve this puzzle
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
(chorus)
Jesus whispered softly, Jesus shouted it out
His kingdom body coming
But we nail him up
and hate each other
(chorus)
Splinter me, splinter me
My broken body
Splinter me
