Refulgence 17:21
The air and the sand Are met by lightning’s hand And I am glass The sun whispers down Upon the darkening ground And I am glass I am not the light I am not the light I’m just a cracked little mirror Covered with filth and dust Sun in the sky overhead Cannot raise the dead A mere twinkling above When compared to this love Great joy now that you’ve Let the atmosphere move While I am waiting here The night is dispelled When this small mirror is spilled Upon the ground The scattering shards Will point to glorious light Upon the ground Sun in the sky overhead Cannot raise the dead A mere twinkling above When compared to this love Great joy now that you’ve Let the atmosphere move While I am here With nothing to fear May the radiance come And all know where from This brilliant display Will drown my dismay Our hearts will come to An unhindered view In turning our eyes to you I saw the world holding mirrors But their environment was dark black Yet the glass was painted brightly A pretty picture gazing back Oh, I grieve Is it seven years bad luck To break me down to the shards I am? Because this life has seen much more love When I am broken by a lamb Oh, I breathe. Still we look around for some other way We would rather watch the glass that shows us lies Consume the scandals of a weary world And let the peace that passes knowing pass us by Pass us by But I am not the light I am not the light I’m just a cracked little mirror Covered with filth and dust We rely on what our eyes can see Even though the heart is blinded by itself Only when it breaks will it be whole And the greatest love will fill an empty soul An empty soul And I am not the light I am not the light I’m just a cracked little mirror Covered with filth and dust The light of God will be crowned Our shouts of joy will redound All knees All tongues All here All now All know Him

In this light the world dims And people grow pale The life I lost is found anew Behind a torn veil Look away from here Look away from here Don’t look away child You’re not the same as you were The movements of the universe Are but a story Its theme brings honor to the one Clothed in glory Look away from here Look away from here Don’t look away child Not on this eternal day

How can we live by these broken rules? We may be weak and we may be fools To still believe what is proclaimed Hope maketh not ashamed So great a love has filled our weary hearts Cherish the joy that knowing him imparts The stain of doubt has not remained Hope maketh not ashamed There is no place for our fear (For we are his) We wait for him to appear (For we are his) We now rejoice in our troubled days Forgiveness for all our errant ways No bygone failings to be named Hope maketh not ashamed

If the World 04:02
Now there’s a time for all To rise and stand and fall And in between there is doubt and fear As we all know it’s not crystal clear As all we know begins to disappear If the world comes crashing down around me I will not stand still I would run to the highest place Where I will never drown Summer turns to fall And the winter kills it all But then the spring comes around again And the blooms of youth begin There is life to pass us by once more This world is vapor It’s here for a time and then gone tomorrow Yet this hope that dwells inside remains It remains

You live where only shadows dwell Darkness is your only friend It shrouds your face and hides your evil hands The puzzles of your misplaced youth Multiplied throughout the years Leaving you an enigmatic soul The mysteries that surround you are the mysteries within Who is there to solve you when you’re riddles in the dark? You spurned the feast of a loving father To eat cold flesh of swimming things And chase your loneliness deeper in a hole
8.
We the people have created A beast of riches and of health And cower as we watch this creature Granting power to itself A world is built from other worlds Divided unity What will you do with your hands full Of humanity? If ye love wealth more than your freedom The largest hands will grasp at straws Elude the eye of their employers And pass their vague officious laws The din of progress now surrounds us The voice of freedom is ignored Endure the theft of the prodigal fathers Answer to the pen or to the sword Our constitution has grown weak Like a field of dying grass The eagle’s trampled underfoot By elephant and ass The statue’s light begins to fade And all is vanity What will you do with your hands full Of humanity?

Fade 02:30
A candle dims Late at night Or elsewhere in some greater light And either serves to give men sight But we All die away Eventually So let this wick, so small and frayed Burn away and be unmade I fade I’ll gladly fade Fade from view And trade what I love for what is true Less of me and more of you I fade Jesus is the light Jesus is the light And he has made me a mirror Reflecting his good face Jesus is the light Jesus is the light And he can make you a mirror By his perfect grace Yes he can make you a mirror By his perfect grace
