Dying To Live

$14.97

1.	Dying To Live	Play	Dying To Live Hope that maybe someday I might find Might find a way to no longer try Living my life as though it were mine Standing in the silence Leaving myself behind With my heart wide open Dying to ask you Why does it hurt so bad When it seems so easy To die, it's easier to die than choose what's right In front of me, there You are, here I am Standing in the silence Leaving myself behind With my heart wide open For you to come revive Everything inside me With everything you are While I'm healed but broken Dying to save my life Dying to save my life Save my life Lyrics	Dying To Live Credits Written by Caleb Kruse Guest Violinist: Dave Bullock Info
2.	Where	Play	Where I tried so hard to be like You And I remember the way You would laugh Would light up the room like a strike of a match I woke up this morning and I felt Your love It broke through the pain of 1,000 memories Where are you now Don't leave me alone Show me Your light In my darkest hour Call me Your child I think I need You now With all of this change Tell me where is the gain When I look around Just give me awhile And I promise You I'll let You down If I fall down on the water Would You reach out Your hand Show me that You love me I don't understand Lyrics	Where Credits Written by Peter Kruse Guest Guitarist: Phil Keaggy Info
3.	Lost For Words	Play	Lost For Words Who are You, who are You Who are You, who am I I'm angry, I'm overwhelmed I'm lost for words Tonight I'm falling over I can't see the ground I'm falling over Will You catch me now I need You, I need You I hear You died for me, I hear You died for me Is this true, is this true Can I still believe, can I still be free I can't stand on my own strength Can I fall into Your grace Lyrics	Lost For Words Credits Written by Peter and Caleb Kruse String arrangement by Michael Aukofer Guest Violinist: Dave Bullock Info
4.	Nebula	Play	Nebula I went so far to reach another dream But once again it was overrated The closer that I came the more I found A mirage of empty hopes that slowly faded And I'm singing Yeah Look at all these thoughts of mine In my head You're the only one of worth I find In the end Peace flows like a river To my dreams It's a melody of all sufficient grace If only I'd surrender Then I'd be free And Your presence would surround me like a flood You caught me now Lyrics	Nebula Credits Written by Rufus Tree and Aaron Graunke Info
5.	Empty Frames	Play	Empty Frames I've lost my way again Need to find where I belong Hazed pictures in my head Deck the walls where I went wrong I'm tearing these pictures off the wall Goodbye deception, deception is gone I separate restraints From the walls I've tried to scale Praised images I’ve made Affixed to every time I've failed In the light of what I see There was something blocking me Hanging in the place Where Your face used to be But now that I'm awakened From an empty dream I see the light I smothered With the things that I don't need These empty frames Lyrics	Empty Frames Credits Written by Rufus Tree and Aaron Graunke Info
6.	Already Here	Play	Already Here Lay it down, let it go Take it easy, clear your head I've tried but it seems That it's harder done than said Oh the fears, oh the pains Oh the trials in this life Just believe, just have faith Do you know how hard I've tried I'll be fine You're already here And when I close my eyes You won't disappear You're already here If I turn my back against The one thing that I need Father hold me close And heal my unbelief You are already here, close my eyes You are already here, I'll be fine You are already here, close my eyes You were always here Sometimes in my mind It's hard to comprehend That You're here and You've been here Just like You said Lyrics	Already Here Credits Written by Peter Kruse Info
7.	This Picture	Play	This Picture This picture I've painted a while ago My mind is clouded by these memories I search for a match in my head to this feeling Today I'm away but I'm on my way home I sit right beside this mug that I hold As I search for a match in my head to this feeling I don't understand the way that I feel today I'm so frustrated I'm wishing I could stay 'til I knew why I came There's places that I'm needed Sticks and stones don't threaten me much The wounds that I fear go deeper Am I carelessly waiting for someone to push me I'm a child and I'm comfortable here where I am Without any reason When the winds blow and I find that nothings changed Except for the season Lyrics	This Picture Credits Written by Caleb Kruse Info
8.	Wild Wind	Play	Wild Wind She calls Monday morning As I begin to wake I wait by the phone So you know I'll be late Sit and talk about the world Like maybe there was nothing else An answer to your problems A solution to yourself (all together) Waiting here so long, waiting so long There's a Wild Wind blowing like a hurricane If you stand underneath Its pouring rain It will make you clean It will make your stains no more I wait by the phone So you know I'll be late If you don't discover My heart would break Are you gonna be free Like the birds up in the sky Will they look down And wonder why You were sittin' on the ground With the weight of the world Still holding you down You were out for the count With a little gray cloud Hangin' over top your heart It don't have to be so dark No, it don't have to be so dark Lyrics	Wild Wind Credits Written by Rufus Tree Guest Vocalist: Mitch McVicker Info
9.	Mercy	Play	Mercy I'm walking through the night But I will not fear Though the arrow flies by day And darkness draws near Here where Your mercy meets me New like the morning sun Here where Your love completes me So full my heart becomes There's a shelter that I find Underneath Your wing And a shadow by the side Of My Shepherd and My Guide The One of whom I sing You're the Most-High King I will not fear I will not fall As long as You are here You here me when I call So full my heart becomes Lyrics	Mercy Credits Written by Caleb Kruse Guest Guitarist: Phil Keaggy Guest Vocalist: Jeanne Anne Aukofer Info
10.	Dead Battery	Play	Dead Battery Do you know what it's like? Got y’all a revelation Old school syncopation A turntable invitation You're stuck on the moon with no gas station Open up your mind to the answer Turn your path away from disaster I know the plans your after But I hear your cries behind your laughter I hear you cryin' out "What is wrong with me? I know I've failed somehow And now I'm breakin’” I hear you cryin' out Come alive today Come alive, Come alive… dead battery It's like reincarnation, propitiation Askin' all the nations from every generation Redirect the race that we've begun From an earthly walk To a spiritual run Gotta find the time to find the peace of mind It’s a war zone Don't step on a mine Like the evolution revolution It's a lie And the nemesis of Genesis Watch your step boy You will never let me slide 'Cause I know You know what it's like Died the worst death anyone's ever died Three nails and a spear in Your side Lyrics	Dead Battery Credits Written by Rufus Tree and Aaron Graunke Info
11.	Hope	Play	Hope Our paths have led us different ways Some have been sunny Some have been cloudy days My heart still goes out to you Often at night I lie awake And wonder what it is you're doin' So what does tomorrow have for us And where do we go from here Now the answers are so hard to find I'd be easier not to care But I'm tired, and I'm scared I want you to be near You never should be alone again We have made our choices But our hearts still beat as one We have both burned our bridges It's so hard to be on the run If you're tired, or you're scared And you want me to be near You never should be alone again Some day we'll be together Walking hand in hand I will be with you, I will be with you All of this confusion It will all be gone And we will stand, and we will stand We will run through fields of flowers Dancing in the sun I will be with you, I will be with you Our hearts will not be broken We will care again Hope will be risen, hope will be risen ...I know we will stand Lyrics	Hope Credits Written by Jedidiah Harrison Dedicated to Becky Info

We wanted a more "edgy" sound for our second album, so we used more distortion, heavier drums, and vocal effects. We also added a few violin, harmonica, piano, and choir parts to spice things up. Phil Keaggy and Mitch McVicker also blessed us with their talents and it turned out great. We think you'll agree!
