(Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back)

This is a statement of intent My fear of man has gone to bed, and better said left to die The soil turned and tried and other things pushing out to the sky They were always mustard seeds in my mind But now they’re turning to fields Pulling back the curtain and seeing the yield Things that have been growing for a long time And are ready to explode Like a fire shut up in my bones And I’m burning to death keeping it in. This is a statement from the heart It’s soft and stark, fight and flight Prayer and point And now I pray with my eyes open Because hope’s in motion. To confess the less and cry for more To repent and implore With every cell shut up in my blood Drawing lines in shallow mud And praying they’ll become foundations Blueprints for nations, HEALED. As my fingers spell out His name Longing for it to sink deep into your veins and rewire your brains. This is a statement of the truth A roaring Lion let loose and now He’s setting your bones Using His teeth to strengthen your knees when they’re impossibly shaken
 and now He’s holding you up brazen Cryptic words and motions Alluring movements capturing focus And hitting you in your belly where you can hear it Bypassing the brain to believe it A sacrament and a sign Pointing to the unravelling of time and it’s End In the words I’m lost but in the Name it’s clear And He’s drawing near And He’ll be our light 
 Jesus Christ.

I felt your breath, and it was less like a breeze it was more like a hurricane and you’ve known me the same same teeth, same lips, same lies, same games
and you’ve loved me anyway

I saw it there as clear as day and though I blinked I think, the end remained the same 
Swallowing up darkness and pain, as that heavenly refrain renewed my brain 
that glorious chorus that I could not contain 
The end remains the same I felt your tears and they were less like a drip, they were more like a waterfall and you’re making a holy fool of me a mess, I confess I’m in company I saw it there as clear as day and though I blinked I think, the end remained the same 
Swallowing up darkness and pain, as that heavenly refrain renewed my brain 
that glorious chorus that I could not contain
The end remains the same I felt your hand and it was less like a hymn, it was more like a heart attack 
You’re still shocking a dead man out of me
He’s a trick but he knows that I still believe I saw it there as clear as day and though I blinked I think, the end remained the same 
Swallowing up darkness and pain, as that heavenly refrain renewed my brain 
that glorious chorus that I could not contain
The end remains the same


Here I am I never said I was prophet Never said I heard things clear But there’s a ringing in my eardrums And there’s a voice within my heart So I run Into the mouth of a harbour to the belly of a ship And I was dreaming when the storm hit Now I’m drowning off the side of the boat I taste sea salt in my throat 

(ah, ah, ah, ah…) I wake up in dark Don’t know if my eyes are open or whether they’re shut I guess these moments seem bright as my body slowly dies That chemical induced high, as I walk into the light But the light never takes me Death itself forsakes me! And in the belly of a whale, A deeper truth illuminates me It holds, humiliates me, Drawing hymns, and desperate pleas Prayers swimming in the seas My God just please don’t leave. I scream my bargain for release, ‘You can do anything, anything with me!’ I stand up, I feel the sun along the shoreline A temporary bliss, And then the burden of your kindness, And the bruising of my ribs I walk on, Making peace with all my hauntings, Shaking hands with all my ghosts, And this is not the end I chose, (not even close) I’m in the last place that I wanted to be, but I can’t stop moving my feet.

(ah, ah, ah, ah…) People, shadows, places, Moving pictures, moving faces, Standing up now, people hear me, Speaking words now, ground to greet me, Closing eyes here, hesitation, I’m alive still, celebration, Like a bedroom on the river, There’s a stillness, there’s a shiver, Like a cell now multiplying, There’s a newness, there’s a dying, There’s a spirit in the city, There’s a movement in the city There’s a hope within the city, There’s a mercy in the city, Dying debts within the city, Kings that wept within the city, Words that swept around the city. A fire burns within the city, But they’re not burning in the city, A weight is crushing in the city, But they’re not crushed within the city, There’s a name within the city, A Holy name with the city, I felt rage within the city, When I saw how good you are. I see the paint but not the picture I see the paint but not the picture I see the paint but not the picture I see the paint but not the picture I see the paint but not the picture I see the paint but not the picture I see the paint but not the picture The crooked lines but not the figure. I hear a sound but not the music, I see your heart but I can’t choose it, I see a cross but not a saviour, I want a god not a redeemer. You give a cure I chose a plaster, I see a chest but not a treasure, I want your hand but not your face, I want your justice not your grace. You’re so hopeful that it hurts me, So much mercy that it scares me, Your love it taunts and tears me Then you breathe me back to life. I see a drop you fill an ocean, I pray a prayer you start a motion, I want to make you fit my story, But really I’m part of your story…

(Glory! Glory! Glory!
Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!
Glory and Majesty! 
Righteous Restoration! 
Reconciliation! 
Freedom! Freedom! 
I want to know Your Heart! 
Let me fall apart! 
Oh! put me back together!
I need Your Face, I need Your hand 
I need You! 
Don’t You understand!? Be here! Be here!
Righteous Hope and Love! Righteous Hope and Love!
Oh! Put me back together! 
Broken pieces bringing Life! 
O how it shines! How it shines! 
The Future bright, and I see it now, I see it! 
And I’m broken before You! 
Needing to fall!
King of Kings, King of Kings hear me! 
AWAKEN ME! AWAKEN ME! AWAKEN ME!
AWAKEN ME! AWAKEN ME! AWAKEN ME!
AWAKEN ME! AWAKEN ME!)


I see Grace, see Peace My fears released, My heart and soul, To overflow, In praises, tears and places, I can hardly see, God help me see. I doubt too, but You, Like super glue, Hold me so well, It’s hard to tell, You’re really, Spread right through me, And I’m a kid with crayons, Drawing You now. (I’m a kid with crayons, Drawing You now.)
