Misguided Rage
Broken,battered,tattered,bruised
Made to think I'm so confused
Wish tomorrow come and end today
The sun will shine, but when will I
The blackest heart just wants to die
Still I know the answer why
Its written on the page
of misguided rage
Reaching for that shooting star
It burns my hand, I've gone to far
Its a shallow grave for those who are
Written on the page
of misguided rage
Though wounds heal, scars still remain
Keep track of all the pain and shame
They're carried like an ugly stain
Written on the page
of misguided rage
Callused worn, so thin I'm torn
Rapped in the smile, that hides my scorn
The truths been found in whats been born
Its written on the page
of misguided rage

Amazes
Into your courts we go with praises
Made white as snow, your love amazes
High above all names that's named
Our love for you shall be proclaimed
Lord your love truly amazes
So we'll lift your name on high
May all the heavens hear the cry
May all that you have done be known
As praises gather at your throne
Lord your love truly amazes
Brought out from darkness into light
Made new your people shine so bright
Sealed by the promise that you made
We your people shall not fade
Lord your love truly amazes

I lay my burdens down
Lord
I let my burdens go
Into the masters hand they flow
Where peace is all I'll know
And pain and sorrow can not grow
Lord
I let my burdens go
Lord
I lay my burdens down
At your altar they'll be found
Even now I hear the sound
Calling me to higher ground
Lord
I lay my burdens down
Lord
I cast on you my care
I give you everything that's their
I know you hear my prayer
As to you I'm stripped and bare
Lord
I cast on you my care

Gods light
Broken like the brook pushed by the storm
Washed away the shallow thoughts
and driven out the scorn
Sometimes are hearts are broken just to see the light
Sometimes the darkness isn't
what we see at night
Sometimes it takes the currents
to change just what we see
Sometimes Gods light shines differently
Washed away/the pain and fear
Moved along/so we'll draw near
Cleared the way/so now we can see
Sometimes Gods light shines differently
Plowed out the heavy stones
Laid bare the broken bones
Sometimes are pain can make us free
Sometimes Gods light shines differently
The crashing waves/the splintered heart
The raging storm/they play their part
You and I are given eyes to see
Sometimes Gods light shines differently

I can't feel the fire
Standing in the fire, as the storms rage wild and free
Your brilliant light surrounds me, showing me what eyes can't see
It opens up before me, the road you lead me down
Yea I can't feel the fire, while in the hands who wears the crown
The firers bright, the winds are cold
The path is wide, where lies are told
And if I might, they'll have their hold
But in your light, I'm found
Yea I cant feel the fire, while in the hands who wears the crown
Quenched the fires kissing flames
Broke the power it proclaims
Washed in light , and bathed the stains
Though they would see me down
I can't feel the fire, while in the hands who wears the crown
Though the winds they howl and rage
They're like a lion in a cage
Roaring looking for they're stage
But I won't there be found
Yea I can't feel the fire, while in the hands who wears the crown

Bruised is not broken
New morning, brighter day
Just let the sorrow wash away
Bruised knees and a joyful heart
There's no reason to fall apart
We can lose touch with sorrow
Drown in its tears
Give up our tomorrow
Live in its fears
But down on our knees
We can face a new day
There were not broken
There were OK
Raising the blinds, see the sun shine in
Lord open our eyes, so the living can begin
Bruised knees, a willing heart
Brighter mornings, a brand new start
Livings not hard if its down on our knees
Bruised is not broken, the father he sees
Taking a breath, fresh air flowing like a breeze
Owing it all to Gods healing on my knees
Can't fear tomorrow, when I'm on my knees today
Bruised is not broken, not when we stop and pray
Changed now, by the king
Rejoice, the angels sing
Blood bought, white as snow
Bruised knees, there I grow
Bruised is not broken, not when we pray
Bruised is not broken, when it's there that we stay

In Jesus name
Like the rivers mighty flow
Within your people may you grow (alternate verse) may your people grow and grow
Touch the masses with your grace
That everyone may seek your face
Let the flood gates open wide
Every heart caught in your tide
Mended the broken, raised the flame
Wholeness brought in Jesus name
Christian soldiers may we rise
Love reach out to hurting cries
Sinners saved and truth proclaimed
Wholeness brought in Jesus name
Wrapped in light may we all shine
Mirrored your truth and grace divine
Swept us all from sins dark shame
Wholeness brought in Jesus name

Wash me
Wash me in your blood Lord Jesus
Wash my sin away
Cleanse me of iniquity and make me clean today Wash me in your blood Lord Jesus
Make me white as snow
Change me by your saving power that grace may overflow
Wash me in your blood Lord Jesus
Wash me of my sin
Seal me by your Holy spirit and change me from within
Wash me in your blood Lord Jesus
And fill me with your light
Make your light to shine in me that I might shine so bright
