Call To Die

Then [Jesus] said to them all, "If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it. (Luke 9:23-24, HCSB)

Micah - "Tired of Skeletons"


They're dying outside,
but we're all stuck in here:
something that we hide,
but everyone's so near.
The circle, the middle,
is the safest place to be.

We've been here so long
watching from the inside:
long enough to see
we separate our lives,
and there's so much needed
in this world of emptiness.

Are you tired of fighting
and finding there's nothing there to gain?
Are you tired of waiting
for something that never comes,
'cause there's no happiness in the pain.

I'm tired of all these dead ends.
I'm tired of hiding from them.
I'm tired of skeletons!

They're running; we're ducking.
We're locking all our doors:
forgotten the reasons
of what we're fighting for,
so we stay in our own world,
and we throw away the key.

Are you tired of fighting
and finding there's nothing there to gain?
Are you tired of waiting
for something that never comes,
'cause there's no happiness in the pain.

I'm tired of all these dead ends.
I'm tired of hiding from them.
I'm tired of skeletons!

I know how fragile life is.
I have heard enough.
No more selfish complaining;
the words just don't add up.

Are you tired of fighting
and finding there's nothing there to gain?
Are you tired of waiting
for something that never comes,
'cause there's no happiness in the pain.

I'm tired of all these dead ends.
I'm tired of hiding from them.
I'm tired of skeletons!

Micah - "To Those Who've Gone Before Me"



To those who've gone before me or those who have to come:
the visions in my head of life and what I've done.

Sometimes I wake up crying with voices in my head:
so many thoughts and dreams that I wish I'd done instead.

I've been where you've been and I've seen what you've seen:
nose broken so many times that it can't be fixed again.

Sometimes I wake up crying with voices in my head:
so many thoughts and dreams that I wish I'd done instead.

With all my love, with all my life, and all I have
to you...

Micah - "Horizons"



He is a lone spirit in the dark:
sees life through a hole and returns to the light,

and all he sees is what his eyes allow him;
he doesn't see with his soul:
it's a life that's filled with little things
that fill us up and make us whole.
Make us whole! Make us whole.

He looks upon the horizon for what lies within his heart.
He searches the entire world for what he can't find,

and all he sees is what his eyes allow him;
he doesn't see with his soul:
it's a life that's filled with little things
that fill us up and make us whole.
Make us whole! Make us whole.

Clear Color - "You Are the Holy One"



I will live to declare Your glory,
and my heart is filled with praise.
I will shout and I will sing
for all of my days.

I want to walk in Your holiness, Lord.
I want to stand in all Your ways.
When You call I will say "yes"
for all of my days.

I want to die so You can live.
Resurrect my heart again.
I will tell the world
that You are the Holy One.

You are the Holy One,
and I worship Your name.
You are the Holy One,
and I stand amazed.
You are the Holy One.
Yes, You are the Holy One!

Clear Color - "Beautiful Feeling"


What a beautiful feeling
it is to see
someone come to know the Lord.
Angels rejoicing
tears of joy begin to fall.

Jesus is coming back one day
to take me home.

You can have that feeling
of peace and joy within your life
that Jesus gives you
when you ask Him in your heart.
Then you'll know:

Jesus is coming back one day
to take you home.

Jesus is coming back one day
to take us home.

We'll walk beside the crystal sea,
singing praises to the King.

Jesus is coming back!

Clear Color - "Eyes"

Do I say the things I tell you not to say?
(Do I say them?)
And do I do the things I tell you not to do?
(Do I do them?)

The things you know are wrong inside:
they say no one can see them but Jesus.
He sees everything, and He's everywhere.

And do you say the things you tell me not to say?
(Do you say them?)
And do you do the things you tell me not to do?
(Do you do them?)

The things you know are wrong inside:
they say no one can see them but Jesus.
He sees everything, and He's everywhere.

The things you know are wrong inside:
they say no one can see them but Jesus.
He sees everything, and He's everywhere.

Do we do the things Jesus tells us not to do?
(Do we do them?)
These excuses aren't enough
to get us through.

Clear Color - "Always Forgives"



This one's to the One who died for me,
Who gave His life on the rugged cross at Calvary.
And, still to this day,
His love will never change
for me.

And did I turn my back on You,
and I took You for granted,
because I knew You'd forgive me
again?

Yesterday
I kneeled down and prayed
to You.

And did I turn my back on You,
and I took You for granted,
because I knew You'd forgive me
again?

And I look back at my life,
and I see the pain I have caused:
the things I say, the things I do to You,
but You look at me, and You say,
"You're forgiven again!"

And did I turn my back on You,
and I took You for granted,
because I knew You'd forgive me
again?

Clear Color - "Forever"



You turned my weeping to dancing.
You turned my sorrow to joy in the night.
Where can I go from Your Spirit, O Lord?
When my faith is empty,
You keep giving more!

And I worship You,
my voice I raise,
for giving me this heart of praise.
With all my soul, my mind, my strength,
I worship You, my Lord, my King,

FOREVER!

Clear Color - "Let Everything That Has Breath Praise the Lord"


Let ev'rything that, ev'rything that
Ev'rything that has breath praise the Lord
Let ev'rything that, ev'rything that
Ev'rything that has breath praise the Lord
Praise You in the morning, praise You in the evening
Praise You when I'm young and when I'm old
Praise You when I'm laughing, praise You with I'm grieving
Praise You ev'ry season of the soul
If we could see how much You're worth
Your power, Your might, Your endless love
Then surely we would never cease to praise
Praise You in the heavens, joining with the angels
Praising You forever and a day
Praise You on the earth now, joining with creation
Calling all the nations to Your praise
If we could see how much You're worth
Your power, Your might, Your endless love
Then surely we would never cease to praise
Let ev'rything that, ev'rything that
Ev'rything that has breath praise the Lord
Let ev'rything that, ev'rything that
Ev'rything that has breath praise the Lord

Clear Color - "Be Glorified"



Your love has captured me.
Your grace has set me free.
Your life, the air I breathe:
Be glorified in me!

You set my feet to dancing;
You set my heart on fire.
In the presence of a thousand kings,
You are my one desire.
And I stand before You now with trembling hands lifted high.
Be glorified!

Clear Color - "True Love"


You gave us Your only Son: that's true love.
Your arms open wide: I come running.
Your hands, You hold out, for us to grab, when we keep falling.

You show me the path to walk,
and show me the road to follow,
when doubt fills my mind,
You give me the hope to carry on.

You wept, You cried,
and You hung, You died;
You walked this world in a body as mine.

Hebrews 4:15,
"For we do not have a great high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but He was tempted in every way, just as we are, yet was without sin."
