And the future's robbing my soul
I'm face to face with my futility.
And my life is slipping away
Inhaling my mortality.

CHORUS
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor,
I'm just a blinking light.
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor,
And I'm about to evaporate.
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor,
I'm just a blinking light.
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor,
and i'm about to evapor-ate

And I feel my skin's just a shell,
Underneath is my reality.
I breathe dimensions unknown,
It conquers my mortality.

It's a mad mad world will it ever stop?
Will the madness end?
While my body decays my soul does not,
Death is just the beginning.
And the future is robbing my soul.
Inhaling my mortality.

. . .


one man
one mission
one more plot to save the world

reclaim all races
and embrace our destiny

changing history
when the colliding comes
where will you run?
come with us if you want to live

Chorus:
Join us in the army that's arising
the truth invades your mind
everyday the kingdom is advancing
the Earth invasion has just begun

without sound
without fear
it attacks the heart and soul
to rule all life
and display His government

changing history
when the colliding comes
where will you run?
come with us if you want to live

CHORUS

Chorus 2:
Join us in the army that's arising
let the truth invade your mind
everyday the kingdom is advancing
the Earth invasion has just begun

the Earth's frustration
to be whole again
we'll see a nation
living without sin

the Earth invasion

one man
one mission
one plot to save the world

CHORUS

CHORUS 2

ah-oh-ah-oh-ah-oh-oh-yeah-yeah (x3)

the Earth invasion has just begun

ah-oh-ah-oh-ah-oh-oh-yeah-yeah (x3)

the Earth invasion has just begun

. . .


Times are hard, times have changed, don’tcha say?
But I keep holding onto you
It’s hard to keep the faith alive day to day
Leanin’ on the strength I’ve found in you
You’re the hope of all the earth

Chorus:
You are my hope
You are my strength
You’re everything, everything I need
You are my hope
You are my life
You are my hope
You are my hope

Far beyond what I can see or comprehend
Etching your eternity in me
Nations dream and angels sing “Jesus reigns”
And every knee bows down
You’re the hope of all the earth

Chorus

Carry on and I sing of how
You love and I love you now
All the times that I start to sink
You come and you rescue me
You are my hope
You are my hope
You are my hope
You are my hope

Chorus (x2)

. . .


EATING ME AWAY

It’s eating me away
I said to God
It’s rotting in my mind
It’s like a cancer
Is there anything, anything at all to numb
The nothingness
I need a reason to breathe
It’s eating me away

Save me from my rage
And from humanity
I’m more nothing than being
Is this my legacy
Feel it eating me away
Yeah, yeah…

Eating me away
It nibbles at my brain
The question of my existance
And the matter of pain
I shake my fist, I shake my fist
At the cosmos and my insignificance
I need a reason to breathe
It’s eating me away

All that I am, all that I want, all that I lack
Come on and save me
All that I am, all that I want, all that I lack
Come on and save me

CHORUS

All that I am, all that I want, all that I lack
Come on and save me
All that I am, all that I want, all that I lack
Come on and save me

Its eating me away

CHORUS

. . .


Break my bones and reset me piece by piece.
You break me, pick up the cross cause it's killing time.
Hey, hey, hey, how can I scream when the pain is such a release?
I get the courage to pick up the nails cause it's killing time.

Chorus:
Kill me, heal me.
Kill me, heal me on and on.
Kill me, heal me.
Kill me, heal me on and on.

Breathing your love, you're ferocious, you're in my lungs.
Resuscitate, craving your electricity.
Hey, hey, hey, feet to my pain, you give wings to my fear.
Your peace inhabits my blood. Your love is thick.

CHORUS

I can't live without it. I can't live without it.
I can't live without it. I can't live without it.

CHORUS (x2)

. . .


chorus:
you alone are what my soul needs
you know the thirst is taking over
hardly breathe im in urgent need
you know the thirst is taking over

the thirst is taking over

hold me down, hold me down
drip it on my tongue
and my convultions stop
thirst for love, thirst for your love
i could swallow, your beauty whole

CHORUS

running out, times running out
searching for the one, who can conquer me
im gonna scream aloud throw it down
crash in the sweet obsession of you
im gonna swim and drown in the wake of you

CHORUS

the thirst is taking over

i wanna taste it
i need to taste it
deep in the Savior's arms

CHORUS

i wanna drink you in
i am drinking you in
i wanna drink you in

hardly breathe im in urgent need
you know the thirst is taking over
the thirst is taking over

i wanna taste it
i need to taste it
deep in my Savior's arms

. . .


Speak, and my heart starts aching
Reach, and the numbness dims
Beat, still my minds uncertain
Breathe, it begins again

You are the One Real Thing
You are the One True Thing that I know
You are the One Real Thing
No matter what the future brings
You're the One Real Thing

Stay, locked within Your presence
Truth, renew in my mind again
Rest, cuz I know You're faithful and I
Trust, cuz I know Your name

You are the One Real Thing
You are the One True Thing that I know
You are the One Real Thing
No matter what the future brings
You're the One Real Thing

I get down on my knees and I
Feel Your love wash over me 4x

Speak, and my heart starts aching
Reach, and the numbness dims
Beat, still my minds uncertain
Breathe, it begins again, again...

You are the One Real Thing
You are the One True Thing that I know
You are the One Real Thing
You are the One True Thing that I know
You are the One Real Thing
No matter what the future brings
You're the One Real Thing

I get down on my knees and I
Feel Your love wash over me (Fade out)

. . .


My skin is my disguise I'm more than a man I smile at my demise
Ask who I am More than a man More than a man More than a man
More than a man My skin is my disguise I'm more than a man
I was sent to rule on Earth Ask who I am I wreck, I wreck, I wreck
I wreck with every prayer Ask who I am

Chorus:
Cause I'm stronger, yeah Than the devil, yeah, yeah Cause
I'm stronger, yeah Than the devil, yeah, yeah

The fear tries to take me The flesh tries to pull Blackness all
around me but I'm undefeatable My God is strong My God is strong
My God is strong My God is strong All creation watches for Him
to arrive

Chorus:
Cause I'm stronger, yeah Than the devil, yeah, yeah Cause
I'm stronger, yeah Than the devil, yeah, yeah

. . .


I must believe
I must believe (x3)

Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go

Say Jesus is doing nothing,
Say evolution took his place.
There's no God who created the world,
and no Savior for the human race.

Say God is powerless,
He laughs aloud as we cry in pain.
It's just a part of His sick, sick humor,
Forcing us to appreciate.

Chorus:
You say that God is dead
But you're rippin me off!
You can't infect my mind with your vanity.
You say that God is dead
But you're rippin me off!
You can't infect my love with your vanity.
You're rippin me off!
You're rippin me off!
You're rippin me off!
You're rippin me off!

Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go

I must believe
I must believe

They say God doesn't even exist,
We made Him up just to numb our pain.
They can't believe in a loving God,
Who doesn't believe in an atheist!

CHORUS

Go, go, go
Go, go, go
Go, go, go

We take too much, we take too much
We take too much, we take too much

CHORUS

. . .


As I fall to sleep
Will You comfort me?
When my heart is weak
Will You rescue me?

Will You be there
As I grow cold?
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?
Will You be there?

When I’m in retreat,
Can I run to You?
Will my pain release
At Your mercy seat?

Will You be there
As I grow cold?
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?
Will You be there?
My heart grows cold.
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?

Are You saying so?
Oh, I gotta believe it.
Are You saying yeah?
When Your love comes down,
I can rest my eyes.
Feel Your grace and power
Flood into my life.
As my brokenness
And Your strength collide,
When Your love comes down,
Falling down.

As I fall to sleep
As I fall to sleep
Will you be there
As I grow cold?
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?
Will you be there?
My heart grows cold.
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?

Will You be there
As I grow cold?
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?
Will You be there?
My heart grows cold.
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?
As I grow cold
Will You be there?
My heart grows cold.
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?
When I’m falling down?
Will You be there?
My heart grows cold.
Will You be there
When I’m falling down?

. . .


Hundreds come,
From everywhere.
Just to see your face,
Touch the healer's hand.

Desperate,
I push through the crowd.
If I could touch your clothes,
I could feel your power.

Come my way, come my way.
Come my way, come my way.

Please no-notice me.
Just to release my pain,
Just to know your name.

Come my way, come my way.
Come my way, (won't you) come my way.

I'm outta touch, I'm outta reach
I've got the faith to believe.
Oh, am I out of touch, or out of reach?
What would it take for you to walk towards me?

I'm out of touch, outta reach,
But I'm running towards you,
and it's all I believe.

Come my way, come my way, yeah
Come my way, (won't you) come my way
Yeah, come my way, come my way
Come my way, (won't you) come my way

Just a touch.

. . .


I can't escape it,
Help but celebrate it,
Brace before i get the shakes
You're like a drug and
All I'm thinking of is
How to get another taste.

[Chorus]
And I was born for this
And I was born for this
Yeah i need it, yeah i need it, yeah i need it in my veins.
Yeah i need it, yeah i need it, Heaven in my veins.

Divinity appeals to my need
To feed my veins with life
I cry to God to feel that every nature
Sink into this piece of life
And I was born for this
And I was born for this

[chorus]

Now let me go
Fly higher and higher
I lose control
All of me into you
Less of me, all of you

. . .


You never change
Always the same x3

You never change
Always the same x3

Strange how everyting
Seems to rearrange
Apart from who You are
Nations rise and fall
Build, rebuild the walls
They all fall down
But nothing shakes You
Nothing shakes You
Nothing shakes You down

Seasons come and go
But You're immutable
I hide myself in You
The shaking of our lives
Strength to strength we rise
Anchored in You
Nothing shakes You
Nothing shakes You
Nothing shakes You down

Spinning, spinning, the whole world just spins around
People to people all trying just to figure out
Moving, moving, where's the power to slow it down
Staying, standing, standing on the strength I've found

. . .
