01. Transfiguration - Lyrics:

"...the Christian life is simply a process of having your natural self changed into a Christ self
And that this process goes on very far in time
One's most private wishes, one's point of view, are the things that have to be changed...

As long as the old self is there its taint will be over all we do
We try to be religious and become pharisees
We try to be kind and become patronizing
Social service ends in red tape of officialdom
Unselfishness becomes a form of showing off
I don't mean of course that we're to stop trying to be good
We've got to do the best we can...
The real cure lies far deeper
Out of our self and into Christ we must go."

02. Redirect - Lyrics:

For so long I've lived my life
As if it were my own
Rarely did I ever think of you
Or that you could ever change me
My eyes were too blind to see

Your thoughts are not like mine
Your ways extend
Outside the lines of space and time
Redirect my steps towards your light

Eyes open, eyes open, eyes open

Now I'm beginning to see
This narrow path you have
Laid out before me
I know many are called
But few will answer
Thank You, Oh Lord!
For reaching down to me

Your thoughts are not like mine
Your ways extend
Outside the lines of space and time
Redirect my steps towards your light

Shine through me

Shine through me
Shine through me

That moment
When you stepped in
The encounter the day
I turned and ran to you

Your thoughts are not like mine
Your ways extend
Outside the lines of space and time
Redirect my steps towards your light

I will give thanks
Through my walk
And through my faith
My life is Yours, you set the pace
You are worthy of all my praise.

03. Shipwreck - Lyrics:

Lost while I'm holding the map
Heading straight to the shore
But selfish ambitions pull me further
Pull me further out to sea
Wandering aimlessly
It feels like a constant toil
A losing battle, the endless struggle
That can never be conquered

Time will reveal the weakness in my soul
The anger, the fear and tempting trials
The weakness in my soul
I know nothing to certain apart from grace that saves
I have fallen away, bring me back
Don't let my faith be ship wrecked

I watched my life being tossed back and forth
Serving myself instead of doing this for you
All of this will fade
One thing will remain
I need you to lay the foundation
Keep me anchored in what you want for me
You are everything I need

I have fallen away, bring me back
Don't let my faith be shipwrecked
I have fallen away, bring me back
Don't let my faith be shipwrecked

Time will reveal the weakness in my soul
The anger, the fear and tempting trials
The weakness in my soul
I know nothing to certain apart from that grace saves
I have fallen away, bring me back
Don't let my faith be shipwrecked.

04. Eternity - Lyrics:

Today still feels the same as the last
I walk the same path but I cannot see what's ahead
It's frustrating I want to know everything You have in store for me

What if this is the last breath you'll ever breathe?
What if this is the final song you will ever sing?
What would you say if you saw the face of God today?
What would you say?
Could you even speak?

I know I must diligent, calm-hearted, patient, and respond to the call
Because it's about the here and now, not the down the road, and the someday I will

What if this is the last breath you'll ever breathe?
What if this is the final song you will ever sing?
What would you say if you saw the face of God today?
What would you say?
Could you even speak?

In light of eternity, all of this but a vapor fading
Everything is vain, only one thing remains unchanged

What if this is the last breath you'll ever breathe?
What if this is the final song you will ever sing?
What would you say if you saw the face of God today?
What would you say?
Could you even speak?

Keep our eyes fixed on eternity
When He returns, will He find faith?
Keep our eyes fixed on eternity
When He returns, will He find faith?

06. Change The World - Lyrics:

Never seeing those who really need
Eyes and fists are stained with greed
Injustice plagues this place we call our home
Why does it have to be this way?
Never seeing

Every life is precious to the corners of the earth
What can we do in this moment that we share to change the world to change this?
Every life's a journey running through the lines of time
What can we do in this moment?
Lets do more than just exist
Change the world

At times it's overwhelming and as I turn to look away
God, give me the strength to serve the ones in need
To do your will, to serve the ones in need
Give us an answer, help us endure
Break our hearts for what breaks yours
Break our hearts for what is always breaking yours

Every life is precious to the corners of the earth
What can we do in this moment that we share to change the world to change this?
Every life's a journey running through the lines of time
What can we do in this moment?
Lets do more then just exist
Change the world

This is a battle cry for justice, it begins with us!
We cannot let our voices go unheard, don't go unheard!

07. Transform - Lyrics:

Looking back on everything until this moment
Stretch existence to it’s limits, and you start to see that

Unless you’re guided by the truth and the light that sets us free
You will never break away, you will never break away
From the pain abandonment brings
Now that you’ve been crushed рe can start rebuilding

It is finished and reality grips your heart
Start to realize what this all means, now you can finally have rest
Unless you’re guided by the truth and the light that sets us free
You will never break away, you will never break away
From the pain that abandonment brings
Now that you’ve been crushed he can start rebuilding

Reaching the end of ourselves
We fall time and time again
In weakness he can transform us

Unless you’re guided by the truth and the light that sets us free
You will never break away, you will never break away
From the pain that abandonment brings
You can break away, you can start rebuilding.

08. Anthem - Lyrics:

Telling you night after night that I am by you always in love
Now I stand by you in faith and pray for revival, I'll stand by you
Telling you night after night that I am by you always in love
Waiting for the page to turn in this chapter in your life
The night is far gone, a new is at hand

Prayer for a new heart that will scour the old
Take His hand, He will make you new, He resorts the broken soul
These are your trials you will never be the same
I want the best for you, the time as come to wake from sleep and live

I cry out that you'd walk His pace
I look into your eyes and see His face
Seeing daily through your pain
Stop the fight lay your burdens at His feet
He is strong when you are weak

These are our trials, we should never stay the same
Hand in hand we will brave these storms as the light breaks through the dawn
In blood we are brothers but I'm not your savior, this is my anthem for you

I cry out that we'd walk His pace
He looks into our hearts and feels the pain
Lighting our path through the dark
The battles won, we cast our cares before the King
He is strong when we are weak!

10. Trial And Triumph - Lyrics:

Rejoice, be glad, it's hard to take
When you're beaten down in a broken home
In suffering and disbelief, the hope is gone you feel alone

I need strength, I'm hoping for so much more
Rejoice, in your sufferings
Build yourself on solid ground
Rejoice, don't be ashamed
The price was paid, He wore the crown, Rejoice!

I believe this flesh I carry is not my own
So let the world cast the final stone
Though we walk through the valley of shadows
We are not alone
Rejoice, in your sufferings
Build yourself on solid ground
Rejoice, don't be ashamed
The price was paid, He wore the crown, Rejoice!

Let the world cast the final stone
Rejoice, in your sufferings
Build yourself on solid ground
Rejoice, don't be ashamed
The price was paid, He wore the crown, Rejoice!

12. Legacy - Lyrics:

I once heard a man say, 'a lot of time we hear and nod our heads
Nothing changes, it all just stays the same'
But why is that so true today?
Spanning from when time began, our actions rarely change
More than ever the heart becomes a stone
Instead of a beating drum with a purpose

Something's missing, I can feel it
Something's missing, a feeling that's incomplete
You could hear the most profound thing ever spoken
And wake up the next day as if it never happened

I heard another man speak today continually using the phrase
'We need to leave a legacy for our families'
But what I want to know is where did our lives change from father and son to dad on the run?
A vicious cycle of deviation, the time is now for an act of restoration
You could hear the most profound thing ever spoken
And wake up the next day as if it never happened

No longer will I settle for the standard of society, I will leave a legacy
No longer will I conform to the patterns of this earth, I will leave a legacy.
