Held Fast

Son here's a story,
About love and about grace;
One chance to change your life,
One chance to set it straight.
Well I'm poor and I'm a sinner,
But I'm loved beyond the grave;
I am loved by your mother and loved by the one who saves.
I'm held fast,
In the arms of my father,
Just like I,
Hold you in my own,
Hold onto,
These words son don't forget them;
Your held fast too in his love.
There were two other brothers,
One young like you, one older;
The younger went searching,
For a life he couldn't live.
He came back to his father,
He said sorry but I'm done,
He said, "It's like you never left, now listen to me son".

Hanging Tree

The hanging tree laid bare,
All it's branches spreading out,
The hangman's noose reaches down to me.
Every man he moves forward,
His death looms closer still,
Rattle and hum of the chains and their cry;
O God,
Save me from this fate,
Let my spirit fly,
Like a bird from it's cage,
O Lord,
Save me from this hate,
Let my spirit fly,
Like a bird from it's cage.
No lock or key to open these,
Shackles welded shut,
Hands and feet scarred with searing pain.
How long will they spit on me,
Keep me in the dirt,
O my spirit lead me now on heaven's plain.

In You I Find
03:54
|

|
I've been through enough times to remember,
I've made enough mistakes to forget,
That old familiar devil in that bottle,
Reminds me every chance of my regret.
I tried to think of myself as a good man,
I knew my end would always be the same,
My sin's debt is always paid in full in the end,
Life's journey on my own it is in vain.
In you I find myself complete,
All that I am I offer at your feet,
No work of mine, can add to what he's done,
In Him the Father's only Son.
My salvation comes riding on the clouds,
In no other name is my help found,
Take this stony heart and give me one of flesh and blood,
I will walk in Your ways for you're my God.
