"I Will Run WIth Horses"

 

Feeding Frenzy

Feeding frenzy with poisoned food. Smile as I backstab you
Run, run, fast as you can’t, you can not catch me
I am but a dream (repeat)
Pleasure island is a game. See who wins fortune and fame
To win you sin, and to sin you lose
I mock you. I mock you

I will die, I will die alone... naked as I come
Will I change? Will I die alone? Will I see the Son?

Tension builds, I’m too busy to care. My riches fly away like chaff in the air
I kill to reach the top of greed. It hasn’t supplied a single need.
Not one single need, I feel hollow inside
I feel like dying, but I’ve already died!
At the top of the bottom, I cry alone. The more I have the more I need
But still I run.
Still I run, perhaps in vain?
Agony within, I must win this game!

 

Bloodguilt

As a pig wallows in the mire. As a dog returns to his vomit
So I run to you with open arms and embrace you as my friend
And though I truly hate you I cannot kill you yet
For beneath my thin surface there lies a world of sin

Bloodguilt haunts my soul
For I know that I nailed you to that tree
Eroding that fortress of hate
You died in my place and you still love me
Bloodguilt brings me to my knees

I harbor a world of hate I caress my secret shame
But my fate is worse than the unbeliever for I know the power of your name
But call me not a hypocrite or a betrayer to me or yourself
Do not shoot your own brother I’m crying out for help
And when they say “Lord, Lord why dost though not remember me”
I pray that you will look to me with a tear swelled in your eye
And have mercy upon this child for I truly did try
And have mercy upon this child for I truly did try

 

 

I Am Empty

 

Ten minutes too late I have fallen on my face
I have run too late to you the door is closing
I am a fool. I have run fast from you.
I have fists clenched hard, a mouth that screams curses

All alone I shall be. God is gone there’s only me. But I’ll be fine in my pain
For in death I am still the same
So, I shall get what I have been: a void, a hollow, nothing!
I lift my voice for no one

In the back of my mind, I knew all the time
But I chose to live my life… but far from you
My heart is cold, numb is my soul
I am so desperate alone. I am empty!

My heart is cold, numb is my soul
I am so desperate alone. I am empty!

 

 

Alone in the Dark

It seems like an eternity, no beginning, no end
No one to hold me, thrust into this life without one friend
And I’ve hit rock bottom, but I am still falling, won’t somebody save me?
I reach out, I cry out, I run, but no one can hear me scream

Alone again in the dark
No where to run, nowhere to hide
The agony, The pain I feel, the silent screams
Oh, I tremble in fear oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-alone

There is a solution, there is a cure
At least that’s what they say
But what if he’s not real?
He is my only hope, oh how I do pray
Through this moral wasteland they call earth I have blindly roamed
But I’ve never seen light, darkness has been my only home

 

 

The Power Of One

(voice over) I want to rise above. I want to run with horses. I want to fly with eagles, and be in your presence forever. I want to know that I didn’t miss an opportunity and that I chose wisely. I want my battles to be worth the struggle and the fight. I want to take the talents you have given me and use them well with increase one thousand fold. I want to be the man you want me to be; strong and courageous, gentle and kind, humble but powerful, honest and upright. I want to do the right thing no matter the personal cost to myself or my pride. I want you to brag in heaven about your servant John. I want to make you proud and put a smile on your face. You are my everything. You are the reason I draw breath. I owe you a debt I cannot repay, but I will try out of humble gratitude to live a life that will bring you joy and , hopefully make you happy to have me as a son... and a friend.

(Song)

I saw the great men fall and I saw the world fall with them
I saw them led astray and I saw all of us follow them
I heard their ears tickled with lies and I saw the sin in our eyes
I saw the darkness fall , I saw the evil rise
I stood in agreement with endless compromise

Is there no man brave enough to stand up to this darkness?
Is there no man who will deliver us from this pain?
Is there no man who’ll risk it all and just fight back for once?
Does anyone want to go home? Are you tired of it all?
Does anyone even know how to get home at all?

So God heard our cry and he called the great men home
No thanks we’re too busy, we’ll do it on our own
On and on down the chain he went right down to the least of us
Until a young man heard his call and he stepped out from the crowd
I hear you calling me, will no man lead us home?
I will stand with you even if I stand alone.

So the crowd stood in awe as they watched the boy walk home alone
And his path was lit up like the morning sun
He smiled with dignity, but a tear swelled in his eye
Will I walk home alone and leave my friends to die?

One by one they followed him, two by two they come
Until thousands walked beside him, oh the power of one!

 

 

Where is This Man?

Do you think that I’m a fool? Do you think I’m blind?
Do you really think that I can’t see you?
I know that I am surrounded ten thousand to one
Does that mean I should turn tail and run from you?
And yes I saw all those beside me flee
and yes I looked around me, and yes I am alone.
But there are no cowards in heaven and so
I look you dead in the eye and say “Bring it on!”

And the fight begun

And where is this man today?
And where are the men that fear no man?
And will we run? Or will we fall ? Or will we cower? Or will we finally stand?
And I have waited long enough.
And I have watched from the corner, and I have lived a lie.
But never again I say to you will I stand by and let you win
Mark my words, I’d rather die!

And the fight went on

And though the lion and the bear roar in my face
I’ll have you know I will not falter
And though the vultures circle overhead, and all hope is gone
They’ve come, they’ve come to watch it
And though I swim with sharks in rough waters
And the depths they pull me down, they pull me in
And though the odds are stacked against me and I’m sure to fall
I will not fear, I will not yield to sin

And the fight went on
And the fight went on
And the fight went on

 

I'm Coming Home

 

I’m coming home, I’m coming home
I’m coming home, I’m coming home

One day my heart will be beat no more
One day I’ll give my last breath to the Lord
One day I’ll close my eyes forever to this world.
Do not cry for me. Do not cry for me. I am not afraid. I’m coming home,

I’m coming home, I’m coming home, I’m coming home

And when they lie about me
And when they crucify me
And when they disgrace my very name
Do not cry for me. I am not afraid. I am not afraid

I’m coming home, I’m coming home, I’m coming home, I’m coming home

And when I walk through that door there will be no introductions
They know my name
They know my deeds
They know who I am

I’m coming home, I’m coming home, I’m coming home, I’m coming home

And when the wind whispers softly and gently brushes your skin
And when the air and the stillness seem to sing to you from within
I am there with you and I love you…And I love you…And I love
And when the wind whispers softly and gently brushes your skin
And when the air and the stillness seem to sing to you from within
I am there with you and I love you…And I love you…And I love you

 

Raindrops

And so there is no confusion, so there is no misquoting of me
I question everything, I have explored all the options, but I believe
That I am not my own, I have seen the other side... and I'm not afraid
So when they burn my body, do not cry for me for I am home
Yes, I am home

And I have no regrets, for my heart is pure before the one that saved my soul
I close my eyes, I drink it in, it's no surprise, I live life to the full
But I don't walk between the raindrops, I bleed when I fall, and I cry alone
My heart lies where my treasure is, make no mistake.
Take all I have, take all I am, but I'm not gone
For I am home

And when I've fought my last battle, and when my final race has been run
I will sing with the angels! I will fly! I will talk with kings!
I will lay my treasures down, I will lay them down with my crowns
I will lay them down with my chains
But when I gaze upon your face, what I have lived and died for, it all melts away
For I am home

 

My Hiding Place

Where do I run to when there’s no place to go?
And who do I turn to when I am all alone?
And why do I still believe when there is no hope?
I close my eyes and sing and I am home

You are my hiding place (repeat)

My heart beats faster now yet I have peace
Wind blows hard across my face
I rise to my knees
And all is forgotten now
For my heart is free!
Fly high to the clouds to be with my king

You are my hiding place (repeat)

 

My Soul: The Prize

What am I doing? I know this is wrong
At this time yesterday I thought I was strong
Hang on child no need to run
Don’t listen to him, you’re missing all the fun
My life is too short, I don’t want to miss all the fun
Haven’t I taught you better He only lies to kill
Why do you even try? The mask you wear is a lie

Fine I fall there’s always tomorrow
It’s all a lie anyway I’ll drown my sorrow
That’s right you miserable wretch. Dance in the fire!
A little bit more will fulfill your desire
What are you doing? Come home please!

I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me
Why do I do the things I hate?
Lean on me. I know this life is hard
That may be fine for others, but you are far too scarred
Is a little pleasure too much to ask for a heart that knows so much pain?
I carried my cross, you must do the same
One more won’t hurt. You are not the one to blame!

Here I am, the same boat again. Repenting of the same sin
I rose to free from sin. Why won’t you let me in?
Why don’t you take some time alone and think about this some more?
Maybe a little more time would be good, after all Rome wasn’t built in a day
Now is the appointed time. Today is the day of salvation
Think of all you’ll lose. It is worth damnation!

I fall on my knees. I run home to you.
It’s something I’ve done before, but something I shouldn’t do
Come home son! I open my arms to you. I love you so much I even died for you!
I leave now, but I’ll be back. When your soul sleeps I’m on the attack!

All this time my soul the prize, two warriors fought
They fought for my life
Voices inside my head I thought they were mine
Subtle hints a battle was raging on inside
Those on their knees pleading to the king on my behalf won the victory
How could I have been so blind?
Jesus Christ, name above all names, no other saves
My salvation, my strength, my song

 

I'd Want Out Too

 

I’d want out too if I saw what you see
My skin burning off, flesh rotting, snakes crawling through me
No smiles, just remorse, no friends, only pain
Never comfort, no love
Only hatred and rage

 

God Smiled

 

Ten thousand prayers, down on my knees
My lonely heart wept, my soul it pleaded
A little light prepared for me
Answered my prayers, all of my dreams came true

God looked down and smiled on me (x2)

Words can’t express, I can’t explain
I am a mess, I am insane for you
Beautiful heart, beautiful soul
Perfect girl, I’ve searched the world for you

God looked down and smiled on me (x2)

And I would fight for you, and I will sing
And I would die, give anything for you
Bold and brave I may be, and fearless too
Could not ask for more, all of my dreams came true

God looked down and smiled on me (x2)
