I just got the new Casting Crowns album and it's awesome :) couple of my favourite songs. www.castingcrowns.com.
PRAISE YOU IN THIS STORM(reason I got the album)
I was sure by now
That you would have reached down
And wiped out tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I'll praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I cant find You
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
Me help comes from the Lord
The Maker of heaven and earth.
STAINED GLASS MASQUERADE
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small
'Cause when I take a look around
Everyone seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong
So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way I see them
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around out weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitations open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain on our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage
The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart
But would it set me free
If I really let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be
Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay.
PRODIGAL
Living on my own, thinking for myself
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Walls are falling down, storms are closing in
Tears have filled my eyes, here I am again
And I've held out as long as I can
Now I'm letting go and holding out my hand
Daddy, here I am again, will You take me back tonight
I went and made the world my friend, and it left me high and dry
I drag You name back through the mud
That You first found me in
Not worthy to be called Your son
Is this to be my end
Daddy, here I am
Here I am again
Curse this morning sun, drags me in to one more day
Of reaping what I've sown, of living with my shame
Welcome to my world, and the life that I have made
Where one day your a prince, the next day your a slave.
