Remember

If I know my worth I'll go out and get what I deserve
I need to stop pointing the finger when I'm not where I want to be
Everyday I see a reason why I should stay down
But that ain't me thats not what I remember
Somewhere along the line I lost who I am
I'm not this coward
I need to remember who I am
I can't believe I let the fear get the best of me
I'm better than what it tells me
Oh the lies I tell myself their right I'm nothing at all
walk with my heart strong
Live with all forgiven
Make the best of moments that will never happen again
This is what I remember of who I am
I'll get me back I swear
I still know how to fight
When I've lost who I am when I've lost why I live
When the only words I speak are God oh god save me
I've forgotten who I am I can't remember what brings me joy
But God you keep my heart beating to say
You are more than what you've become
I'm a fighter
I am destined
I remember who I am
I am honest
I am loving
I remember who I am
I remember
I remember
I remember I'm worth this life
I remember
I remember
I remember who I am

Stay The Course
04:11

As I set out on who I am
To the X on the map that I want to be
To the light house of my destiny
I struggle with fear
And I stumbled with hate
I struggle with loss of heart
Sometimes I feel so lost
Like ill never make it home
This won't stop me this won't keep me from my goal ill keep on singing
Singing all day long
Today I choose to take one intentional step towards my vision even though it hurts even though it's hard ill stay, ill stay the course
Keep going don't turn back now
Your not that far away
Get up
My heart to yours don't give up don't give in
You'll change the world just hold fast
Through heart and ambition
You'll find purpose in your sacrifice
If you don't know your direction it will find you
Don't let fear and hesitation take this from you
Your not given truth you have to find it
The lie you'll never make it is just at your feet
The mountains you can't climb
The sea you can't cross alone
We're here to help each other make our hearts desires not just words but a happening
Through Jesus Christ we are heard
Through jesus Christ we have the strength to go on
A promise is a promise that's truth unbroken
His words like honey to well traveled heart
It may seem like two steps forward and bullet wound back
You weren't made for this destiny
Through Christ This destiny was made for you
Fear, rejection, heartache and disappointment. These are not the outcomes of your destiny. They are but a mer footnote to you triumphant success. Everything has do with everything. Don't give up, stay the course because you will get through this. I swear to you, you will get through this.
Stay the course
You'll make it through
Your not made for this destiny
This destiny was made for you
Stay the course
I swear you'll make it through
Your not made for this destiny
This destiny was made for you
This destiny was made for you
Made For you
This destiny was made for you
Made For you
I will make it through this throught swear
You will make it through this I swear

Define
01:51

Man kinds biggest hinderance is fear of the unknown. It stops us from truly obtaining our hearts desires. Stops us from ultimately grasping what we were ment to become.fear of the unknown more times than not comes from being damaged from taking a step of faith in the past and it blowing up in our faces.When we are down it's how we get up that defines us. Will we let fear keep us in the dirt?Will we let distrust alter our true destiny for the rest of our lives?Will we transform into the monster we said we would never become? Or....or will we get back on our feet and say I will not give up so easy. I will not allow fear to destroy what my heart longs for. I will fight for what i love. For what I truly deserve in this short life. Because I tell you the only thing that is more terrifying to a persons heart and soul than fear.....is regret. It's a haunting voice that always reminds us we were beaten by fear.Kings,Presidents,Authors,philosophers,husbands and wives are a small portion of people who pushed fear aside and obtained their true passions. These people were pushed down and chose to stand back up and become what so little people become in this world....happy.

Chasing Wonder
02:54
|

Its 1997 and I'm 12 yrs old
With the sun fading at my back
And stars at my toes and I push
push through places that I've seen a thousand times
With danger on each side
But running never on my mind
Every haunting is just an empty home
Every street we pass a new country a new place for us to roam
If only is not yet words i say in my life
Its right here it's right now its we are so alive
My youth won't just be remembered
I'll live it day by day
I'm sick and tired being afraid of the unkownn
Instead of running I wanna be chasing the things I wonder
Without those summer nights when I was 12
I wouldn't know how to dream truly be myself
This means for us for me for you
That the magic of life still exists
And the hope of goodness is not a wish but a certainty
The possibility of your life being your life
Is a given not a fading desire
Every time I try and shake it
Everyday it's something else
I can't help but feel like giving in
putting it all on someone else
This can't be how my life is
I can't just live to reminisce
There's something more I'm missing here
Something more than this

Joy
02:10
|

I am not the messenger
i am not the messenger
I am the message of JOY
this is joy thats beyond a conquerer
this is happiness that turns enemies to brothers
celebrate your life you've got every reason too
burn the threads of hate that seem to always greet you
crush every negative thought that plagues your sleep
embrace this strength,this love that will never leave you
a happiness with so much power
Your joy is a destroyer
Your joy is a destroyer
Everything that stands in it's path
Will be crushed by your laughter
it cries out for you,take me,im yours
this loving joy burns for you take me I'm yours
2X what destroys loneliness?.What destroys hatred?.What destroys depression?.What destroys enemies?JOY

The City
04:38

Out of the way
our broadcast to isolation
Were sick of being told
Were are the generation to let it fall
Everything
Is not for nothing not unnoticed and
Everyone
Is a sacred moment
Everywhere
Is a place where we can be alive
We are alive
In this city filled with believers,fighters,healers and lovers
famously rich and the poorly undiscovered
Feel the frost in your lungs feel the spark in the air feel your heart tremble with anticipation
Behold as we raise our fists for we are the city lights that sing a song that will bring the satellites down
We are prosperity -chunk it out
We are selflessness
We are the reason
The reason this city has breath
This is not another brave distraction
This world hasn't seen a thing
Just wait till we stand together
Together as a city
World hear us
Hear this city
This is my home
We are the street signs that tell you how fast and slow (we are the Giants)high scream- with Windows row after row
My city sing this with me
These city streets light up in moments
We need everyone to make the whole thing work
We are massive city
and every road is home
even our darkest sign says
We are alive
We will not give up on them
whose city lights are low
We believe they can thrive
we are alive
This is how we beat the reaper
this is how we beat the reaper
we spark on every light
in this city
People people are what give us life give us adventure and meaning. So take part in something grand be inspired to live well for others because
we are the city

I Am The Brave
03:21
|
|||
29 yrs I'm finally feeling stronger
No more list to tell me how many times I fall
self destruction becomes outward assurance
That burning bridges is no longer my style
As soon as I admit I knew nothing
About just how far I've come
From the coward I once was
The liar became the truth
The thief is now the giver
The unfaithfuls now the steadfast
I'm not a rare exception
I learned to be me from all of you
The teachers in this world
I don't have this figured out
I've got learning yet to do
I'm still afraid for what's ahead
But I'm willing to see this through
I use to think I was the image
Under a pile of broken glass
I know now I am the fist
That shattered my self inflicted past
I'm still trying to be the man
My father is and was
Through it all my mother says
I always knew that you could be so brave
My friends and brothers
Never gave up on me
each time I fall they say
I always knew that you could be so brave
I always knew that you could be so humble
Your not to man that you use to be
So Get up get on your feet
Unless I say I'll never ever mean it
Unless I scream it it will never be heard
Because of you I'm the person I never thought I could be in this life time
You never gave up on me
Because of you
I am the brave
This is to those who seen the gold inside me
This is to those who pulled even when I pushed
The ones who held my head above fire
This is to those who saved a father
From becoming so much less than he could be
This is to those who saved a husband
From becoming just another tragedy

All Of Us
03:38
|

This time it's different
Were all seeing eye to eye
Our hearts cry out for the same thing
More of you lord
Less of this religion
All of us
were finally singing the same song
All of us
We finally step into unified resistance
Against hatred among us
Against misunderstandings and falsehoods
We come before you lord in love
And we become the loving heart that you lord made us to be
A burning signal fire that tells the lost and broken who to come to
All of us will be a beacon of hope that will bring the troubled a smile
All of us will carry your acceptance lord we will walk in love just like you
Make it a truth for me that I'm not any farther from your heart than the blood inside.
Because I pour like it.
A hot flood drowning in the breath you made me from.
I could've swore I was a sandcastle in your bones.
Fast wash me out, I'll punch the skin till I'm all out of fists and my arms
Cradle the eyes I used to look at you with.
Lovely, make me love.
I want to know that the year I spent holding my breath was worth it
When you give it all back for
Unsafe keeping.
I could've swore I was a sandcastle in your bones.
I am grains of love soaked by the sea that saves me
ALL OF US ARE SAND BY THE SEA
AND ALL OF US ARE
DROWNING CONTINUOUSLY.
DON'T LOSE ME.
We are no longer the victim
We are the victoryX2
All of us are so different
Love is what we share
All of us are not finished
The world hasn't seen us yet
This time it's very different
This time its all changed
Were not separate pieces
But one and the same
We make life so much harder
Then it's ment to be
There is no us against them
Its us against us
That's why we have to fight to succeed
There's only one way out if this circle it it starts and ends with all of us
