Cornerstone
02:06
|

We've only just begun
Built upon the rock our cornerstone
And soon the end will come
We know that we're
Not so far from home
Never on our own
Rock our cornerstone
Rock our cornerstone
Mm, yeah
So they say to me
But say to me no more
"He who made the key
should make us see the door"
But I've got faith to see
No fantasy, nor lore
I will wait to see the Lord
He who faithfully rewards

City of Sin
02:48
|

Oh welcome to the city of sin
Where they hunt you down
And if you weigh a hundred pounds
then they just might sell you for a hundred pounds
Just might fill you with a hundred rounds
Just might kill you 'cause they want your crown
Tough life living on the hunting grounds
There's fireworks outside!
Oh welcome to the city of sin
Where they train your mind
To disable and Cain your kind
Still mislabeling that age-old crime
It's murder! But we pay no mind
We the free thinkers so we pay no mind
Hop on this table and it take no time
The lie is on our side!
Oh welcome to the city of sin
Where they raise you foul
But if you try to change your route
Then they just might try to rearrange your mouth
Like "La da dadi" how the tongue twist now
Might get bloody when this thing go down
Gonna take you in or gonna take you out
It’s time to choose a side!
Oh welcome to the city of sin
Where they hunt you down
And if you weigh a hundred pounds
Then they just might sell you for a hundred pounds
But don't bet on it
'Less you gotta high price on your head honey
Fight to get ahead just to get headhunted
And you know the killers love to get the dead money
Who said money?
That’s like a god around here
And the word done got around on the round sphere
that the world don't go around less it come near
It's a lie but we all tried it to get rich!

Butterfly
02:27
|

But to fly like a butterfly
Nothing holding down
'Cause His love is light
Your love is lighter than the air I breathe
You saved me from the plight of wicked Pharisees
You saved me from the fire and the water
Like the child of the father
Freed my mind like the Gerasene
Raised me like "Talitha cumi"
Outta-the-tombed me
And like Lazarus drew me
I didn’t know you from Adam
But from Adam you knew me
And before you made an atom
Had decided to choose me
Uh, yoke lighter than loose leaf
Word so heavy can’t carry it loosely
Promise on top of promise that you never would lose me
From burial to aerial the day that you loosed me
But to fly like a butterfly
Nothing holding down
'Cause His love is light
I did nothing right
I had nothing right
In my darkened heart
But His love is light, butterfly
Butterfly flitter through the sunbeam
Over slow stream as it glitter under low trees
And the leaves don’t wither
Full of fruit, rooted by the crystal river
What am I that you really love me though above me
That you mind me though you’re mighty
Oo, oo, oo, oo
You pour a fountain full of sun rays
On a cloudy mountain till its countenance is Sunday
Fly, risen from the dead
Once a snared fowl and a prisoner of debt
You sowed a seed in the dry ground
And it cracked when you died but you crack sky now
In the Heir, forgiven in your death
Till I’m in the air and delivered to your rest
But to fly like a butterfly
Nothing holding down
'Cause His love is light
I did nothing right
I had nothing right
In my darkened heart
But His love is light, butterfly

If it wasn’t for you
If, if, if
If it wasn’t for you
Ifa, ifa, if
If it wasn’t for you
If it wasn’t for you
I could not be
Please free me
Crawling out these sheets
Yes I'm crawling
Falling on these feet
Yep I'm falling
How can I repeat
The same old thing?
Stalling on these knees
Yes I'm stalling
Calling on you please
Hear me calling
Lord, I’m just so weak
And so in need
Please Free me
If it wasn’t for you
If, if, if
If it wasn’t for you
Ifa, ifa, if
If it wasn’t for you
If it wasn’t for you
I could not be
Please free me
Mumblin' on the floor
I been mumblin'
Stumblin' out the door
Tummy rumblin'
How can I move forward
When I’m so me
Please
If it wasn’t for you is the preface to my prayer
That's why I'm forming breaths into a message in the air
Knowing you can hear me anytime and anywhere
In the quiet of my soul or in the riot of despair
Singing who can save me from this— this body of death
Praise God through Jesus
If it wasn’t for you
If, if, if
If it wasn’t for you
Ifa, ifa, if
If it wasn’t for you
If it wasn’t for you
I could not be
Please free me
If it wasn’t for you
If, if, if
If it wasn’t for you
Ifa, ifa, if
If it wasn’t for you
If it wasn’t for you
I could not be
Please free me

Free Indeed (Interlude)
00:22
|

7. |

Free, free, free
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed
Already know what the wave is
I saw the flood hit the masses
You really know what your wage is?
Get no return on your taxes
Don’t even know you’re a slave if
You can’t admit you been mastered
Diggin' a hole for your grave sin
Under the whip of your passions
(Whoo)
Slave boy
Gotta new heart now I’m saved, boy
I was trained up in the way boy
But I loved lust, lived lost, likkle stray boy
Till the Son set me free indeed
In the house like a 'bnb
Till I’m out with no EMT
Still no doubt on that "brb"
Cuz I’m
Free, free, free
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed
Yeah
We want freedom
Freedom from right
Freedom from wrong
Freedom to live life however we want
Freedom to lie, freedom to fall
Freedom to define life’s meaning our own
Freedom to love mine
Freedom to hate God
Freedom to unwind
Freedom to stay lost
Freedom to be me
Freedom to pay cost
Freedom to run blind with no freedom at all
Who the Son sets free is free indeed
Yeshua come in peace to His enemies
You should run quickly to the risen King
I was hogtied
By my own vice
Now the dog died
Uh, He’s compassionate
Uh, He’s so adamant
Uh, I’m not adequate
Uh, He my advocate
Uh, He broke the most rabid of savages
Out of the cabinet. Grabbed him
And now I’m happily captured, uh
Free, free, free
Whom the Son set free him free indeed
Whom the Son set free him free indeed
I knew this life was a maze so I navigated my way to the gate
But I couldn't break through
Being right was the key so I tried to be what I thought it was
But I didn't have truth
I thought it was relative
Thought it could be what I want it to be
Convert my exterior elements
Inside boy that pride had me hung from a tree
That's a link in a strong chain
Thought I was free, but my cage had a long-range
Binge drinking blowing bands with the bong raised
Self-made image so my brand got the wrong name
Hangin' with the clan when the psalm came
He lifted up my eyes
I looked upon the lamb who was purposed to purchase a man who was worthless
I stand as a servant, yet free
Free
Whom da Son set free him free indeed
Free
Whom da Son set free him free indeed
Whom da Son set free him free indeed
Da-da
Aah-aah
Aah-aah
Aah-aah

Terrified

I could die tonight
And fly away to paradise
I could lose my life
I'm honestly not terrified
I could lose my sight
Or I could wake up paralyzed
For the rest of life
I think I might be terrified
(Might be)
Terrified, terrified
I'm honestly not
I think I might be
Terrified, terrified
I'm honestly not
I think I might be
Terrified, terrified
I'm honestly not

Terrified, terrified
I could lose my life
I could lose my life

Terrified, terrified
I'm honestly not
I think I might be
Terrified, terrified
I'm honestly not
I think I might be
Terrified, terrified
I could die tonight
Or I could wake up paralyzed
I could lose my sight
Or fly away to paradise
You'll be by my side
To conquer every fear of mine
For the rest of life
I don't have to be terrified
Terrified, terrified
I don't have to be
I won't have to be
Terrified, terrified
I don't have to be
I won't have to be
I don't have to be
I won't have to be
Terrified, terrified

Oh but when I saw Faithful fly
In the sky, in the sky
Oh but when I saw faithful fly
I could cry

We Will All Rise
02:28
|

Undone sinners of a worthless brand
Baptized members of a purchased family
Sheep kept in the Shepherd’s perfect hands
We will all rise soon as the Son come down
All rise soon as the Son come down
First those of us who have long since slept
Then those of us who are not yet dead
All united in our perfect head
We will all rise soon as the Son come down
All rise soon as the Son come down
[Vocal chops]
First those of us who have long since slept
(First those)
Then those of us who are not yet dead
(Then those)
All united in our perfect head
We will all rise soon as the Son come down
All rise soon as the Son come down
Oh, that day when we’ll be perfect
Whole world bowing down in worship
Someone ask us if it’s worth it now!
We will all rise soon as the Son come down
All rise soon as the Son come down
First those of us who have long since slept
(First those)
Then those of us who are not yet dead
(Then those)
All united in our perfect head
We will all rise soon as the Son come down
All rise soon as the Son come down

Eternally
04:42
|

One day we’ll see
New life complete
The world redeemed
Eternally
No more roadkill
No more parasitic fungi
Growing out of insects insides till they die
No more babies drowning
In a sea of our solutions
Where a burning question's answered with a fire
No more
One day we’ll see
New life complete
The world redeemed
Eternally
No more love lost
No more thorns to pierce our side
No more sinners sinning
When the Son reveals his bride
No more heartbreak ever
No more disappointing lies
No more children missing
No more poverty nor crime
No more idol worship
No more images shall stand
No more treachery nor wickedness
Shall fill the heart of man
No more tears nor mourning
For the old has passed away
No more death nor journey
To the darkness of the grave
It’s a brand new earth
It’s a brand new heaven
Neither moon nor sun
Groom and bride descended
And the two are one
Hand in hand together
And the two are one
God and man forever
God and man forever
God and man forever
God and man forever
God and man forever
God and man forever
God and man forever
