Lust 02:07

I never get this right With my hands in my face again The sting of failure's fight But we are not alone No we are not alone Each time the glass falls And shatters on the ground The pieces never mend And time is passing away As my innocence fades And love is running dry But we are not alone No we are not alone Everything I need is within my reach To kill the man that I've become But words can only mean so much Words can only mean so much We are not alone But words can only mean so much

With longing heart you look at her Your eyes meet and you surrender mutually Your hands caress the forbidden Your lips kiss the irresistible Stolen water is sweet As she whispers her demands When all is said and done she leaves And you will never see her face again You say His blood pardons your betrayal How can you act like He doesn't see? Like He's some kind of fashioned image Using grace to excuse your heresy Kneeling day after day to satisfy your guilt You vow to never heed her persuasions Nor her ways of flattery You hear her say, "let us drink our fill of love" It's always someone else (May forgiveness transcend your ungrateful heart as you trample the blood of mercy immeasurable) You say His blood pardons your betrayal How can you act like He doesn't see? Like He's some kind of fashioned image Using grace to excuse your heresy Your convenience is the truth Like He's some kind of fashioned image Using grace to excuse your heresy

The Prayer 04:08
All the world has turned away Friend and lover far from me Who can bear the burden of the emptiness? Lost as sleepless nights become my closest friend Reach out and take my hand With our secrets laid bare Maybe we'd be ruined Maybe we'd be saved Are we dreaming? Are we drowning? Suffocating in our misery Are we hopeless? Have we lost our way? Lost inside our swelling apathy Reach out and take my hand With our secrets laid bare Maybe we'd be ruined Maybe we'd be saved If we would bear one another's burdens The deepest griefs we share Would we escape the tragedy? That awaits those who never reach out

Taking innocence away You said you were my friend But friends do not betray You said you love me But you don't love at all This will never be the same You took the greatest thing I had And drug her through hell You are drowning I am dreaming How could this ever be? You are dead to me I would bury you If not for God Coward This will never be the same Oh God, let justice be Yours always Remember when we were changed forever Or so it seemed I never dreamt this could be Friends now enemies Help me love my enemy When all I want is revenge I would rather you be buried With all your shame Oh God, help me show Your mercy Let justice be Yours Oh God, let justice be Yours

Benjamin 09:21
Breathe in slowly Take another step All we have is one another All we have is love But you're gone Feelings are so numb There's nothing left but to fall On our knees and pray To somehow make it through Tonight Are we dreaming? Is he really gone Forever, forever in our hearts If only we had known If only we could say How much we love you one last time And we have never been so broken Shattered, undone We've never felt such pain You left without saying Goodbye Forever, forever in our hearts Wonderful grace of Jesus Reaching the most defiled How can my tongue describe it? Where does it's praise begin? For the wonderful grace of Jesus Reaches me
