1) For Unto Us
3:34, lyrics:
Puer natus est nobis, Emmanuel
Puer natus est nobis, Yesus Kristus
Puer natus est nobis, Emmanuel
Puer natus est nobis, Yesus Kristus
For unto us He is born,
In a manger He lay forlorn,
His name shall be called mighty God,
Wonderful, counsellor, Prince of Peace
He was bruised for our iniquities,
Yet it pleaseth Him to be an offering
Puer natus est nobis, Emmanuel
Puer natus est nobis, Yesus Kristus
Puer natus est nobis, Emmanuel
Puer natus est nobis, Yesus Kristus
Puer natus est nobis, Emmanuel
Puer natus est nobis, Yesus Kristus
Puer natus est nobis, Emmanuel
Puer natus est nobis, Yesus Kristus
2) At the Throne
3:16, lyrics:
Benedicta tu in sede Dei
Sanctus aeternus
Benedicta tu in sede Dei
Sanctus aeternus
And behold, I saw both great and small, kneeling before His throne
Surrounded by the multitudes, the Eternal one doth weigh,
I saw all men both poor and king, on bended knees to Him they sing,
The scales of justice in His hands, His blazing eyes, His Nail pierced hands,
I saw them all to Him give praise, the holy one whom God hath raised,
Benedicta tu in sede Dei
Sanctus aeternus
Benedicta tu in sede Dei
Sanctus aeternus
We fall down, we bend our knees,
The God of mercy’s paid the price, to spare us all from our demise,
The temples veil's been torn apart, The Holy one now owns our hearts,
And unto Him who took our chains, our broken hopes and lonely pains,
To Him who gave us all His life, a poured out sacrifice…
Surrounded by the multitudes, the Eternal one doth weigh,
I saw all men both poor and king, on bended knees to Him they sing,
The scales of justice in His hands, His blazing eyes, His Nail pierced hands,
I saw them all to Him give praise, the holy one whom God hath raised,
I saw them all to Him give praise, the holy one whom God hath raised.
3) Spiritus Sanctus
3:12, lyrics:
Fire, fire falling from heaven,
Consuming our souls, consuming our hearts,
Fire, fire, baptism of fire,
With tongues of angels, with tongues of fire…
Spiritus sanctus, ruach ha-kodesh
I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you,
I will always be with you, forever I will stay…
Paracletus, the comforter, He will come to be with you,
Judea and Samaria, to the ends of all the earth,
Paracletus, with tongues of fire, you will speak in tongues of men across the great wide earth,
Paracletus, the comforter, He will come to be with you,
Judea and Samaria, to the ends of all the earth…
Spiritus sanctus, ruach ha-kodesh
Spiritus sanctus, ruach ha-kodesh
Spiritus sanctus, ruach ha-kodesh
4) Suffering Servant
4:24, lyrics:
Why? Why?
Why did someone have to die?
Why did someone have to pay a price I couldn't pay myself
So I could live? And why? Why?
Why did someone have to hurt?
Why did someone bear my shame when no one would
A sinful being so full of hurt
The suffering is real
The suffering is real
Through [His] suffering we heal
His suffering is real
Broken, striped and whipped
Scorned, abused and mocked
Saviour, the Son of Man
Messiah, anointed one
Healing through suffering
The servant through Him healing
The servant through Him healing
The servant through Him healing
Why? Why?
Why did someone have to die?
Why did someone have to pay a price I couldn't pay myself
So I could live? And why? Why?
Why did someone have to hurt?
Why did someone bear my shame when no one would
A sinful being so full of hurt
The suffering is real
The suffering is real
Through [His] suffering we heal
His suffering is real
5) The View Inside My Soul
5:16, lyrics:
You’re only angry coz you’re blind,
The words you spoke you can’t rescind,
You’re only angry coz you’re blind,
The words you spoke you can’t rescind.
Here I stand justified, ready to stand and strike
Words spoken to me cut, deeper down in my heart
Triggered I stand and fight, for what I feel is right
Heart burning through the night my heart burns justified
Raging my blood boils hot, for peace I felt was not
Vengeance for spoken words, so carelessly uttered
Sharper than a knife, the words the cut and cause strife
Flustered it struck my pride, in anger I will abide...
You're only angry 'cause you're blind
The words you spoke you can't rescind
You're only angry 'cause you're blind
The words you spoke you can't rescind
With words we give man praise, with words we set ablaze,
With careless speech we tear down men,
All hope brought to an end,
With words we give man praise, with words we set ablaze,
With careless speech we tear down men,
All hope brought to an end,
The tongue is a storm, a world of iniquity
Spoken in rage words strewn to a wind
Callous and toxic departing your lips
Cast at a junction you'll never get back
Why? Why? Would anyone speak?
Cause words are so powerful they really could kill,
Cause words are so powerful distorting my will
Cause words are so powerful distorting my will
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
The view in my soul...
You're only angry 'cause you're blind
The words you spoke you can't rescind
You're only angry 'cause you're blind
The words you spoke you can't rescind

1) Not by My Heart
4:06, lyrics:
Hear me now
Hear me now
In my darkest nights
I will have no fear
With every circumstance
I know You're here with me
The weight of the world is holding me down
Will You come save me before I am drowned?
Seeking for truth it's in You I am found
No longer slave to the chains I was bound
I come to You
for I am weary
Will You give me rest?
I come to You
All of my sins
Lay them down at Your feet
Not by my heart
Not by my spirit
Not by my strength
But every word You speak
Not by my heart
Not by my mind
My heart is willing
But my flesh is weak
With every circumstance
I know You're here with me
In my darkest nights
I will have no fear
Hear me now
Hear me now
I come to You
for I am weary
Will You give me rest?
I come to You
All of my sins
Lay them down at Your feet
Not by my heart
Not by my spirit
Not by my strength
But every word You speak
Not by my heart
Not by my mind
My heart is willing
But my flesh is weak
I lift up my eyes to the Son
He keeps me from all harm
I lift up my hands to the skies
He sets me free!
Not by my heart
Not by my spirit
Not by my strength
But every word You speak
Not by my heart
Not by my mind
My heart is willing
But my flesh is weak
