Tracklist:
1 Come In  

there must be a way to be closer
there must be a way to go deeper
call me to Yourself and say
when I get distracted, say
when I'm tempted to walk away, say:

come in! I want to be with you
closer - there is so much more I have
to say to you/lay at Your feet/
worship You for/give to You
here, in this elusive moment
come in, come in

there are oceans in Your eyes, Lord
there are fires in Your soul
when I take Your hand, I see
when I lose the time, I'm free
when I sail that endless sea, please

lost I am and I am found
head in Heaven, feet on ground
listening for the matchless sound
of Your voice

2 Princess  

your failures are all in the past
do you worry that He sees you
as you see yourself?
your vision
may be clouded in mist
but the day will come when
your true reflection will tell:

princess!
He's calling your name
princess!
there is no call for shame
daughter of the King
lift up your eyes
for the Prince of Peace
is coming for His bride

sing aloud
Virgin Daughter of Zion
all has been restored
so stand a-glitter in gold
He loves you
o justified one
with a passion
that shakes the heavens
it's not something cold

the beauty of holiness
is given to you
cherished daughter of the King
lift up your eyes
for the Prince of Peace
is coming for His bride

3 Fly Free  

fly free

feel that summer breeze
lifting your hair
close your eyes
and let your spirit breathe
peace you can't explain
is a footstep away
the sweet caress
of God upon your dreams

open like a flower to the sun
all that awaits you
is warmth and love
you were born
to fly on eagles' wings
into the arms
of Paradise's king

freedom
like the dolphins as they dive:
that's the way
I see you living life
I celebrate your heart
the beauty there
your courage and
your spirit and your drive

and when He takes your hand
at the end of time
and looks into your eyes
He'll say:
"you were worth
every blow of the hammer
for you were the joy
set before Me!"

throw your arms out wide
and spin your dance
close your eyes
let your spirit breathe
peace has entered in
hand in hand with faith
the sweet caress
of God upon your dreams

4 Justified  

almost too good to be true
You take to my soul
like a shower
like a gentle cleansing flow
taking all the "shoulds"
melting all the paranoia
erasing with Your blood
like chalk from blackboard

I'm justified
I'm wearing Your clothes now
and the pain
of never-good-enough is gone

almost too good to be true
I'm made as good as You
'cos You say so
'cos Your grace is my support
and all You ask is faith
all You want is love
all You need is
my hope in what You've done

You spend Your love so freely
and You never quite recall
where my sin's gone

5 Embracing Me  

in the wind, silver rain
in the clouds
in ocean's break
I feel You
embracing me
feel of sand
smell of street
warm of home
sun of memory -
Your breath
embracing me

everything that's beautiful
is You

river water over stones
dying daylight on the hills
these are You
embracing me
tiny starpoints
purple nights
(pricking the velvet heavens)
faithful friends
table laden:
(Provider) You
You embracing me

tiny hand holding mine
all the colours of the sky
tell me You're
embracing me
in soft darkness
in dawn's joy
in crisp winter
music's touch
I sense You
You embracing me

hold me like only You can
tell me Your love
in ways I understand

6 The One Thing  

why did You make me?
did You need me to serve? no!
so why did I believe
my actions were my worth?
peered into the world
got fractures looking back
looked into myself
and all I saw was lack

the one thing
is loving with You

free ... I can breathe now
my Father holds me dear
not because I'm busy
but because I am here
looked into Your love
all conditions met
gazed into Your heart
found no trace of regret

7 Goodbye  

farewell
it's long overdue
it's high time
I let go of you
I'm not bitter
not anymore
now I've shown
self-pity the door

I'm ready to walk
ready to walk away
and give up all the things
I wanted so badly to say
shackles falling
as I turn to go
so ... goodbye!

joys past, well
they're just keepsakes
of our regrets
and our mistakes
maybes
possibilities now gone
and Jesus is calling me
"it's time to move on!"

I'll love you and leave you
goodbye

8 Canticle  

place me like a seal
over your heart
to mark it as mine
love is as strong as death
holding for all time
it burns like a bonfire
that no flood can tame
it's worth more than all
that you own, this flame
so now that our spark
is a raging fire
and built upon more
than mere desire
I'll be yours
amen

pin me like a flower
on your lapel
a symbol we're one
love grew
in friendship's garden
the rose has begun
it blooms in the sunshine
and thrives in the rain
celebrates the happiness
and bears with the pain
so now that God has
given me you
I give you me
for your whole life through
now and forever
amen

let me twine
the thread of my life
with God's and yours
be husband and wife
for His glory ... amen

9 Tell Me Again  

let me see the bigger picture
love unending, rain on me
let me see the sky peel back
Heaven's edge aglow

tell me again how You see me
tell me again what I am to You
tell me again how You see me
tell me again where I fit

whisper
in Your still, small voice
call me
in the cataract
show me
pictures in my mind of You
You and me, dancing free

let me in on the secrets
a glimpse of Reality
let me in on the mysteries
that only You unfold

there are times
this world is paper-thin
and I know the Son is rising
with one touch
the hand that holds me
could let the real realm in

10 Day In The Sun  

your days are of two kinds
you're either kite-flying
or else trapped in your mind
well, I don't know how to help you
except to say one thing:

your day will come
and light will fill you up
and then some
I don't know when
and I don't know how
but I'll be dancing for you
on your day in the sun

no one fully understands
all the places your mind goes
when you have
time on your hands
well, I have no magic wand
or a handy verse
but I have faith in our God
and His love for you

chains, be broken!
darkness, be dispersed!
if you can't hold on
there's Someone
holding to you

your day will come
I believe, I believe
you're gonna see the dawn
and though I don't know when
I may not know how
I know I'll be dancing for you
on your day in the sun
