Shipwrecks in a Sea of Grace 01:33
lyrics

Shipwrecks in a Sea of Grace You’ve been here for quite a while, it’s not hard to tell Lets go for a ride and find ourselves Search for the moon and for the sun A couple of bandits on the run To steal the freedom that was stolen from us When we were innocent and young When the world was beautiful When we had just begun Lets pretend we were young and fancy-free Lets pretend that we are what we used to be Lets head out west Where the sun never sets Oh shadows, I’m not afraid of you You’ve only shown me where the light shines through I’ve found my anchor, there’s nothing you can do You can sink this ship, you can tear these sails With waves like mountains and stormy gales But we all just end up shipwrecks just the same We’re all just shipwrecks in a sea of grace We’re all just shipwrecks in a sea of grace.

The Beautiful 03:03
lyrics
buy track
The Beautiful Your mind is a battlefield, your heart is a shield And the devil waits patiently to find the wounds that won’t heal Like an angel sings, bringing words of pleasure But taking fatal measures, hiding the words of promise, From distractions we don’t notice grace Turning to ashes every living dream and promise bright For the weight of sin is death, is there still hope for eternal life? In the souls of a sinner there is found broken beauty That can be resurrected by a certain kind of love There is hope for every wanderer and prodigal And from the broken ashes you have found the beautiful Where sin abounds, grace is found And beauty comes around again We sing our songs of hope and peace and grace But never look in the face of fear and all of his friends And we don’t comprehend what kind of danger we’re in But hope flows from springs that are deep within our veins But pain in humanity keeps on driving us away From a promise so clear, and a hero so near The angels pray for those that have the ears to hear There is hope for every wanderer and prodigal And from the broken ashes you have found the beautiful Where sin abounds, grace is found And beauty comes around again I’m strangely overjoyed by all the trials and the darkness Though my face shows I’m afraid, we were wonderfully and beautifully made To find that solid ground to set our feet on, and march on, And fight on, move right on, we have a light to set our sights on There is hope for every wanderer and prodigal And from the broken ashes you have found the beautiful Where sin abounds, grace is found And beauty comes around again

Deep Oceans 04:52
lyrics

Deep Oceans Standing on the edge of the earth My toes are digging hard into its dirt Balance between faith and what it’s worth Do I satisfy? Standing under stars over my head Like stories in a book that I once read Tales of heroes, wars, and stronger men Do I satisfy? But I was worth the cost And still I tried to fight it off But deep oceans swallowed me up And awakened me To your endless sea of grace I used to laugh in the face of fear But the current came and somehow left me here Father come and hold me like a son I’m afraid But I was worth the cost And still I tried to fight it off But deep oceans swallowed me up And awakened me To your endless sea of grace A long time ago, I found my heart Floating along the coldest part I wonder if you remember how I ran But you came and did what you do best You threw down my sin and gave me rest Now bless my soul, this is where I am But I was worth the cost And still I tried to fight it off But deep oceans swallowed me up And awakened me To your endless sea of grace

You are Good to Me You are good, you are good, you are good to me You are good, you are good, you are good to me You are good, you are good, you are good to me You are good, you are good, you are good to me I’m sorry that I ran away I now that I was supposed to be so strong and brave But the devil got the best of us So I’m building walls, and brick by brick I’ll have a fortress And I’ve dabbled in my fair share of sin I’ve played with the shadows and sometimes let them win But your mercy got the best of me And I don’t deserve it, but God, you are good to me You are good, you are good, you are good to me You are good, you are good, you are good to me You are good, you are good, you are good to me You are good, you are good, you are good to me I’m sorry that I ran away All I wanted was to be seeing more Now my eyes wide open, anime To take inventory, cause I see what be in store At least in a way that’s roundabout I’ve strayed from the route, I been down and out My ways been foul (file) like an archive Gotta get back up, it’ll be a hard drive Did my faith stay, nah it's vacant there I don't have what I need, I ain't prepared I know you call us to be the salt and light But I enjoy to eat sweet things all at night I know that ain’t right, so I’m looking at what I got left You, but I don’t listen like I got deaf Regarding that I feel so ashamed But I only got myself to blame It was my fault, my fall into darkness I need my passion aflame, please spark this I'm the opposite of perfect Yet you give me your mercy, I don't deserve it Your grace covers me like a canopy I know you would never abandon me I fully trust your plan for me So when they asking me who you are? you are good

I Was Thankful 03:50

I Was Thankful I woke up with the sun, I’m a criminal on the run But singing hymns of hallelujah, I found redemption in the songs And I was thankful I was thankful Like winter brings the shiver, I walked down to the banks Washing in the river, rinsing all my stains away And I was thankful, I was thankful And Oh, oh, oh, I’ll never let you go And now I know I’ll never be to far from home My eyes beheld the stars, and dancing galaxies afar Where mountains rise from oceans, yet you find us where we are And I was thankful I was thankful And Oh, oh, oh, I’ll never let you go And now I know I’ll never be to far from home When troubles came to conquer me, I never was afraid You closed my weary eyes, and you carried me away And I was thankful I was thankful And Oh, oh, oh, I’ll never let you go And now I know I’ll never be to far from home

The Bright Side We all have a story to tell The crutch of sin, the time we fell But we are so forgetful of the sun We all beat from broken hearts Within the valleys deep and dark But we are so forgetful of the sun This is the brightside, brightside This is the brightside, Brightside This is the Brightside, Brightside And its alright, its alright This is the brightside, brightside This is the brightside, Brightside This is the Brightside, Brightside And its alright, its alright Oh soldiers strong, keep marching on Through anthems loud or silent songs For grace has found a way to lead us home Oh keep your lanterns burning bright And keep your eyes upon the light For grace has found a way to lead us home. This is the brightside, brightside This is the brightside, Brightside This is the Brightside, Brightside And its alright, its alright This is the brightside, brightside This is the brightside, Brightside This is the Brightside, Brightside And its alright, its alright

You're the ghost upon the waters And I just can't believe my eyes standing on the shore in wonder if we'll ever make it out alive We're broken hearts that lost the way our only wish is to be safe navigating through these waves I pray that your tide will come and sweep me away Is there anyone out there is there anyone out there is there anyone out there is there anyone out there Caged within these weary bones you'll find my hearts a telescope gazing deep beyond the stars searching for a thread of hope I try to solve your constellations I'm sending signals to the sky I pray with careful calculation in hopes that somehow I will finally reach you this time Is there anyone out there is there anyone out there is there anyone out there is there anyone out there we are infinite, we're infinite, we're infinite we are infinite, we're infinite, we're infinite we are infinite, we're infinite, we're infinite

Finding Our Way You were born in the valley of the wicked You were raised under cover of the night Did your eyes ever wonder of the sickness? Wonder if you’d be all right You were born to the hands of a slave You were tossed in the wild wind of sin Did your feet ever yearn to run away? Dream of beginning again Dream of beginning again Oh daughter, find your strength Oh devil, show your fangs Oh father, give us grace We’re just prodigals, finding our way Are you brave like the mountains before us? Do your prayers reach the heavens above? Are you strong like the arms of salvation? Holding you up with their love Holding you up with their love Oh daughter, find your strength Oh devil, show your fangs Oh father, give us grace We’re just prodigals, finding our way As waves crash you’re wondering why The Holy Ghost has passed you by You’re lost in the waters, and the heavens seem dark But child keep your eyes to the sky As waves crash you’re wondering why The Holy Ghost has passed you by You’re lost in the waters, and the heavens seem dark But child keep your eyes to the sky Oh daughter, find your strength Oh devil, show your fangs Oh father, give us grace We’re just prodigals, finding our way

The March of the Brokenhearted I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you Here we stand on holy ground The broken dreams lie all around And waters rising but hope’s reviving The deliverance that we’ve found And my sins are pulling me towards The glittering gold that’s hiding the storms And I pray with my words that just don’t seem to flow Like I with they would But it’s a beautiful love story, in which you’ve never ignored us When that beauty of gold brought that sin to our doorstep And like ages before us, with a grace that was so glorious You promised deliverance from a book, that you wrote long before us I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you Call it the march of the brokenhearted, call it the anthem of the martyrs Now that the world’s not on our side, it seems believing’s getting harder But we weren’t simply made from the earth and whom it contains For we go boldly to the throne, and claim the selfless price he paid And we cry holy, holy, holy Oh God, can you hold me Cause as broken as I am, somehow you still adore me And that perfect sacrifice brought the cross where I fell short God there’s unthinkable beauty in that I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you I fell in love with you

Angels and Ghosts There's a storm off the coast of my heart and my eyes cannot see that far cause I'm made up of broken parts and I know my demons quite well their smiling face reflects the depths of hell and honestly I don't know where to run But I will not be afraid these storms, they will blow just the same and I won't be afraid Just look at the shipwrecks buried in this sea of grace This won't be the first time I fell There was sadness in your eyes, I could tell But there are holes in the hands that are holding me safe Well I believe in both angels and ghosts and I'm not sure which I'm scared of most Just keep the lantern that’s leading me home, burning bright And I will not be afraid These storms, they will blow just the same and I won't be afraid just look at the shipwrecks buried in this sea of grace
