Birth 02:39
Come forth into the light I know its so bright but in mother's arms held tight everything will be alright Created from God's hand Sent down to Earth Our story unfolds the night of his birth This young boy turned into man will face his destiny through faith & tragedy This blessed son from day one will struggle til the end will he earn redemption? From his first steps he will fall on hands and knees he will crawl until the day he dies his life will be a test will he find truth before he find rest?

Childhood 02:45
Is this how you felt with your hands in the soil when you first breathed life into man Never before has it been so easy to love someone who I've never met. So take my hand, I want to show you the one who gave you to us. This is his power, this is his grace, this is forgiveness, undying love. Beautiful child, you are the world.

Adolescence 01:00

Rebellion 02:12
Mom and Dad I love you both but its time to speak the truth I can't believe the things you say everyday I don't feel a thing There's nothing out there, I've made up my mind No convincing me this time I'll do what I want, I'm old enough To call you out, to call your bluff This is the end
5.
Direction 03:21
I will make my own way I must walk my own path I've viewed the world through the lenses of control but now I see its me who'll save my own soul Its nice to think that we need a saviors help but I'll do it myself Walking so far I fall on my knees Unable to stand, unable to see Darkness covers the road the path I've made for myself I stumble with every step I admit I need someone's help The harvest of my own design The fruit withers on the vine I stumble with every step i confess I need someone's help

Love 02:57
Its been raining all day. But I'm so wide awake. Is this for real? I'm too scared to ask. But I won't close my eyes or run away. Give me your hand and I'll give you my heart And all my life will be yours in devotion This is my heart in your hands. Do what you will. This is the fire in your eyes, burn me away. You are my love You are my life

Realization 04:27
I'm so sorry I doubted you I turned my back on you My selfish desires had me fooled You laid the world at my feet I took it all for granted I reaped the rewards of every seed you planted Please take me back This world is too big to live without you Its all too perfect Its all been touched by your hands I close my eyes and I can feel it everywhere I can't believe I was lead astray I gave up on you thinking I could not be saved You reached your hand out to me and I pulled mine away now I reach out to heaven as if to say now it all makes sense there's no coincidence no random chain of events
8.
Tragedy 01:46
Where has she been? We're losing light She's never late Its been all night sitting alone No note, no call I'm in a blur I'm worried sick Could that be her calling on the phone? How could you do this to me? I don't want this life, please set me free If you won't then I know what will A loaded handgun and a handful of pills
9.
Blame 01:37
This is all your fault you took her away don't tell me you love me If you were who you said you are you wouldn't let this happen and this is all your fault Don't tell me she's gone Don't tell me that I'm too late to save her She's slipping away like water in my hands And now she's gone and I'm left all alone This is all your fault I'm coming to join you my love
10.
Death 03:20
Sitting here with gun in hand and a memory of her Should I go through with my plan? Life without her seems absurd. And as I pull the trigger I know no my deed is done. I never thought I'd search for truth in the barrel of a gun I'm on my way, Lord, I'm on my way. I'll see you soon, Love, I'll see you soon. Now face to face, Lord, I'll stay my case. But standing for judgement, maybe I'm wrong. I feel I've been wrong... How could you do this to me? I would rather not loved than lost. I would not have accepted your love If I had known the cost. Can't you see it was not me who took your wife away? You're the one who let it happen, you could have stepped in at any time. They all say you are a just Lord, please tell me what was her crime. She was just an innocent in the wrong place and time Man is not a puppet with strings I gave you all free will If Man would do as I have taught your wife would be here still Your time will come but your time is not now Go back and show the world tell them what you have learned

Awake 04:08
My heart is pounding, my head is spinning Is this the end or a new beginning? I can't believe I'm at home on my couch When I awake with a gun in my mouth Every day that we had was a gift But there's still more of my life left to live Now I'm awake, I can see clearly And I'm going to tell the world about the truth that I have found I'm awake, I can see you're breathing life into me This World is too big to live without you I can feel the strength of your hand restoring this broken man
