Kutless Album

Do you feel the tensions rise?
Do you know why we always fight?
To be better, better than you
And you better than me

I am not what you see, oh no
Not much more than a slave I wish to be
I am not what you see
Not much more than a slave I should be
Nothing more, a slave I will be

How could I ever think to be more
Than the One who created me?
I watched Him do all that He said
His words were "Be a servant to all"

Only One deserves this exaltation
Only One deserves this elevation
But even He, He laid it down
To serve on bended knee

Do you feel the tensions rise
Do you know why we always fight
To be better, better than you
And you better than me

I am not what you see, oh no
Not much more than a slave I wish to be
I am not what you see
Not much more a slave I should be
Nothing more, a slave I will be

How could I ever think to be more
than the one who created me
I watched Him do all that he said
His words were "be a servant to all"

Chorus 2x

Only one deserves this exhaltation
Only one deserves this elevation
But even he, he laid it down
To serve on bended knee

Chorus 3x

My decision can not be put off again,
I see the right choice,
But my heart is filled with dread
It all seems backwards in my head, my head

I know it seems too wrong to be right
This way is so much harder to fight
But in the end I know it's true
This way is better, it's better for you

Choose a little pain and gain a life with joy
Accepting pleasure now
Will earn a life of pain
It all seems backwards in my head, my head

Sometimes I wonder why it's this way
When it's done the burden is gone
This discomfort will be taken away
As soon as it's over, it's over for me

I see the city lights all around me
Everyone's obscure
Ten million people each with their problems
Why should anyone care?

And in your eyes I can see...

I am not just a man vastly lost in this world
Lost in a sea of faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because You traded Your life for mine

Sometimes my life it feels so trivial
Immersed in the greatness of space
Yet somehow You still find the time for me
It's then You show me Your love

And in your eyes I can see...
And in your arms I will be...

I am not just a man vastly lost in this world
Lost in a sea of faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because You traded Your life for mine

If only my one heart
Was all You'd gain from all it cost
Well I know You would have
Still been a man with a reason
To willingly offer your life

I am not just a man vastly lost in this world
Lost in a sea of faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because You traded Your life for mine

Just one in a million faces

Lying here, in this pit
That life's pushed me down
I don't know just how long I can take
Or when I might break
I'm in, needing so someone
Please show me the truth

This need is real, in my sould I feel
The love you shared
That's why I can't say no agai
My thoughts are confused
For my sins you're abused
My heart it screams
To open up and let you in

In my mind
I'm still fighting to understand
Nothing's free, but what You offered me
You give so freely
Though it cost You Your life and inside
You show me the truth

You know I try to do it
To be a self-made man
I tried to place it all
Upon my back again
But this crushing weight
Was well beneath the skin
Panicking for the light
An inner struggle I fight
But then I realized
That you could be the only way

Let you in...

Within my mind's eye
Flickering from the past
Come images that terrify and calm
A paradox in me

Nail-pierced hands, they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain
Yet it's comforting to me

He chose to give it all
Jesus endured the pain
Paying a debt I owed and createing
a paradox in me

And in my heart I know that You're the only one
Who could have came and died, a sacrifice
As You're God's only Son

It feels like your life's crashing
Down all around you
Let me ask if it's really so bad
Look at the world in it's suffering
can you honestly tell me
That no one else could understand
All of the hurting inside?

Why can't you see that freedom
Is sometimes simply another perspective away?
Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment?
Would you still be the same?

A young child looks through a great stained-glass window
Watching the people go by
Everyone seems to be wearing a red coat
His mother sees jackets in white
Now he can't understand why does she see it this way

Yesterday, you really couldn't see
By changing your angle a new world would be
Revealed to your once-blinded eyes by moving a few degrees

It all starts here with my disgrace
I give you my life thn i run in haste
In this fals life something needs to give

Tell me a reason why this isnt a Treason
Tell me, tell me im wrong
I swear im back but then ti turns out its only a season
So tell me
Tell me i'm wrong

With my two lips, I will praise your name
then i turn around and only curse and blame
I give in, Strength is thin adding to my shame

Tell me a reason why this isnt a treason
tell me, tell me im wrong
I swear im back but then it turns out its only a season
So tell me
Tell me i'm wrong

Your blood it covered all my sin
you changed a traitor into kin
In this fals life something needs to give

Tell me a reason why this isnt a treason
tell me, tell me im wrong
I swear im back but then it turns out its only a season
So tell me
Tell me i'm wrong

How do I speak of the indescribable to You?
I will try to explain these feelings that are trure
So looking to the sky I will sing and from my heart to You I bring

All of the words in all of my life
That could never explain and never describe
All of my love, which is noting to hide
So I lift up my hands and I worship, I worship You

In Your presence I forever choose to live
I will praise You for it's all I have to give
So looking to the sky I will sing and from my heart to You I bring

By your grace you let me come talk to You
It's not that I'm worthy, I thank you Jesus
For the love that You've shown

With all of the words in all of my life
That could never explain and never describe
All of my love, which is nothing to hide
So I lift up my hands and I worship, I worship You

A screaming man falls to his knees
His broken heart inflicts the pain
He's withdrawn, no one knows his name
One mistake, now he's lost in shame

Amidst the pain, you're not alone
Though you can't see through the haze
His eyes of love are staring down
And He feels your troubled heart

Yes it's ture, that someone cares
Your perfect friend, never leaving you
Strength is gone and you're feeling cold
You will know the truth that He told

By Your grace you repair the broken pieces within
Somehow You take a man
And make someting more out of him

My conversation is leading nowhere
And we talk of God but still I don't share
So many times that I just never saw the chance

It's like me to never see
When it came, When it went
Now it's gone away
It's so like me to never see
when it came, when it went
Now it's gone away

The phone rings with news that he's gone
Just the time I shared my heart was prepared
And another soul was won
So much truth to tell, I am so glad I saw the chance

Sometimes I still never see
When perfect opportunities come my way
Would my care increase if I truly believed
That a life could be saved?
