Skillet Album

Looking on the sad times, the guilt and all the shame
I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains
All of the grief I have learned to set aside
Cause I am I am I am I am

Feeling underooted, feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
And when I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
And when I hear the rooster crow, I am ashamed

Jesus on the cross and this cross upon my back
I have learned to submit then I whine about my lack
Sometimes I drop my cross, deserve a little rest
That's when I run to You and I nail Your feet and Your wrist

I'm feeling underooted, feeling undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
And when I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
And when I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed

And when I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
And when I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed
And do You really know my soul even after I hated You?
And do you really know my name, can I really come to You?
And are You really more faithful than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun?
And do You really know my name, can I really come to You
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I don't care
If the rooster crows, if the rooster crows
If the rooster crows, if the rooster crows
(I can)

I'm sitting with my heart out on the table
I'm doing a face-to-face with God
He picked up my heart and said,
"What do you want me to do with this?"

I just blinked my eyes
No smile, no laugh, no tears
No shrugging my shoulders
It crossed my mind, yeah I got an idea
You could take my heart and put it in a padlocked box

What if they grab it too hard or smash it,
Or throw it down?
I'm scared of being hurt, I just want to live
Live a happy life.

You want to, You want to
Soak my heart in gasoline
Light a match and consume me.
Soak my pride in gasoline
All of You and none of me.
I was reminded my heart reeks of gasoline.
It bears the mark of a slave committed for life.
Anyone who wants it
Will have to grab it from a real big God.
Try to touch me,
You'll be consumed, You'll be consumed.
I want to, I want to
I'm sitting here with my heart out on the table.
Next to a bloody mess that was once a man's heart.
I looked at God and said,
"What do you want me to do with this?"
He said,
"Already done, already done, already done."
That heart was Jesus...

I ask Him
When will I
Be free, He
Said I am
Asking Him
When will I
Change, He said
No matter now
No matter now

Saturn has a ring around it
You can never see it with your eyes
Saturn has a ring around it
Many moons know this to be true

You ask Him
How can You
Be real, He
Said you'll be
Knowing Him
How you do
Now He says
Rest in this
Rest in this

Saturn has a ring around it
You can never see it with your eyes
Saturn has a ring around it
Many moons know this to be true

(Instrumental interlude)

Saturn has a ring around it
But you can never see it with your eyes
Saturn has a ring around it
Many moons know this to be

Saturn has a ring around it
But you can never see it with your eyes
Saturn has a ring around it
Many moons know this to be

Heaven has a ring around it
The angels sing a song over you
Heaven has a ring around you
If you don't see it, know that it's true

Heaven has a ring around it
The angels sing a song over you
Heaven has a ring around you
If you don't see it, know that it's true

If you don't see it, know that it's true (6 times)

I want to pleasure in your sight
I want to subscribe to your delight

So hold on and see what I do for you
Oh by the way, did you see me dressed in my beautiful robe?

My head was bleeding so red
But all the thorns in my crown, the rose blended
Instead with my beautiful robe carries on, I'll carry on

I cut down a tree said, Man would you look at me
I stuck my head in a thorn bush Man I was deceived

Oh my brother, Your hands are full of sores
But God blessed you brother,
My nails are longer than yours
I was crucified with Christ
But how come I'm not dead
God gave me a cross
But I made my own instead
My beautiful carries on, I'll carry on

I cut down the tree,
I nailed myself to the wood
I screamed in agony,
Cause the glory wasn't so good

I fell to my knees and I remember
The words of God pierced so hard,
Your righteousness is like filthy rags
And I fell to my knees and said, My filthy robe

When I was a young boy
Saw a vision of your face
I made my first promise to you
Yeah ya know it took some time
But I love you now I realize

I am the promise maker
I am the promise breaker

On the road to faithfulness
I sometimes forget your name
But I can still see your face

And time after time
I hear you calling my name
I gotta name for me
I gotta name for me
I gotta name for me
I gotta name

I am the promise maker
I am the promise breaker

On my knees for the last time
I could rip my heart out everyday
I made my last promise to you

Yeah I could cry I could cry
A million tears a day
And all I would hear you
All I would hear you say

Is you are the promise taker
You are the promise taker
You are the promise taker
Put them in your promise blender

You took me
And you own me
And you bought me
and you love me

Promise keeper, keeper, keeper

We take a walk in the garden
We share the fruits of life
We live beneath this canopy
Why did we take that bite?

We cover up our shame
We walk in black and white
We turn this ground for hunger
Why did we take that bite?

Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me
Paint me open eyes, Paint me with the color of love

You took a walk on the planet
You gave us shad and light
You create mood and substance
How can I can take a bite?

Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me
Paint me open eyes, Paint me with the color of love

Paint me, mark me up,
In these frail, dot-to-dot lines
Color me from one red stream
From which all others flow
Take my black and white and yellow
Brown and pink and pain and sorrow
Take my black and white and yellow
Brown and pink and hate and sorrow

Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me
Paint me open eyes, Paint me with the color of love

Learning inside
I will be safe with you tonight
You cause the smile
And the teardrops in my eyes
Locked inside your every movement
Will I stand or will I fall?
Trapped inside of your walls of glory
I am just as dead leaves fall

Safe with you
Safe with you

Chaos in my head
The whole universe is at rest
When I'm in your arms
Is when I feel the best
Locked inside your creative being
Whirling about your unfailing truth
Attacked with power by ferocious love
Salvation alone belongs to you

Safe with you
Safe with you

Lifting up my voice
To the God who really sees
The God who is consumed
With loving thoughts of me
The screaming winds
And the crashing of the oceans
Shifting sands and the changing of the seasons
As I stand in awe and wonder
Nothing in the world has prepared me for you!

Jesus, Jesus, I'm safe with you

You try to answer slow
You put your head down low
Címon take your time
Try to choose the most believable lie

You try to walk away
And tell me everything's okay
You think youíre are saved by words
But you're drowning in the absurd

But to me it's no big surprise
You thought I never saw your eyes

Departed with a smile
Just like walking down the isle
You shook the preacher's hand
But your smile can't hide your sin
Your eyes tell me what you feel
You eyes tell me what is real
Nobody's perfect is your prediction
Your life is proving your conviction!

To me it's no big surprise
I saw the emptiness in your eyes

I stand here closed and open
Praying for the summer rains
Reaching in to pull back the curtains
Ruling in this desolate land

I will let me go
My walls melt away

You have no boundaries
You cross my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders

I lie here clothed and naked
Dam bursts to cool ocean waves
Black water cleans the highway
Resting in the washing away

I will let me go
My walls melt away

You have no boundaries
You cross my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders

You are more than all that is outside of me
You are more than that which is inside of me

You have no boundaries
I have no borders from you
You have no boundaries
I have no borders

Here I lie again inside this broken body
Wrestle against the tree, my muscles aching
To get up now is death, to die is to really live
Flesh is restless, twisting, spasms in my back increasing

Splinter me, splinter me
My heart, my head
Splinter me

Here I think again to try to solve this puzzle
What is not yours I don№t want, my mind aching
To reconstruct my thoughts or let it blow away
You are all-knowing, changing, yeah you№re killing me

Splinter me, splinter me
My heart, my head
Splinter me

Jesus whispered softly, Jesus shouted it out
His kingdom body coming
But we nail him up and hate each other

Splinter me, splinter me
My broken body
Splinter me
Splinter me, splinter me
My broken body
Splinter me
