So the sun it set Right where Moses wept Where he struck the rock Now don't you cry Native Saint He came To take our blame How did we repay? We set Him up Northern Horizon Northern Horizon Don't go blind Sober your mind When I see your face All things fall into place To be saved Or to be damned Northern Horizon Northern Horizon Don't go blind Sober your mind Northern Horizon Northern Horizon Don't go blind Sober your mind When I hear your voice No more time to waste Midst the noise And the sound Northern Horizon Northern Horizon Don't go blind Sober your mind Northern Horizon Northern Horizon Don't go blind Sober your mind

Guns & Roses 04:44
The winds whisper Through the wheat fields Stories for you and I A tapestry of art Above our heads God's own sea And Hallelujah Voices are raised Between you and me And Hallelujah Lives are raised Until fire breaks through And I'll try to see you more clearly Try to breathe you in More deeply My love, my love, my love Place guns and roses upon my chest When you bleed me to my death You still won't have me yet Cos' there's a blood much greater than mine He's always crossing out my lines I Him whispering in the night Like a cold cocked gun, say... Pen and paper in my hand Poetry for days When we stand I'm always gripping my upper lip When I pray to you What's all this blood upon my skin Must be mine own relentless sin I'm always lookin up for you To fill my cup My love, my love, my love Place guns and roses upon my chest When you bleed me to my death You still won't have me yet Cos' there's a blood much greater than mine He's always crossing out my lines I Him whispering in the night Like a cold cocked gun... I say... On that wedding day When your eyes capture me I hope, I pray You like what you see On that wedding day When your eyes capture me I hope, I pray You like what you see Here Right here... I AM Right here...

Eternity 04:09
I was walking Out on a beach Listening for your voice In the distance I could hear A surrendering noise The winds traded their stories As I drowned out my worries Love's anthem Then, fathoms We can walk On the edge Of eternity With forever as our song I was lookin' Out the harbour Kissing your breakthrough Revelatory favor Making us anew Our winds traded their stories As I reached out for your glory Love's anthem Then, fathoms We can walk On the edge Of eternity With forever as our song We can walk On the edge Of eternity With forever as our song Ooh, ooh, oooh Ooh, ooh, oooh What fire, in your eyes Burning blue and true What fire, in your eyes Burning blue and true We can walk On the edge Of eternity With forever as our song We can walk On the edge Of eternity With forever as our song

Native Wind 03:13
Western sky Bleeds the fight From great heights Set your sights Drawing close To your Native Wind Ocean depths Held our breath Now the tides come alive Breathing in Your Native Wind Echoes of sounds And visionaries Nothing we've seen or even heard before Singing symphonies in melodies Drawing us to once again Soar Woah, oh, oh, Soar Woah, oh, oh, Soar Woah, oh, oh Close my eyes In for the kiss There are some things in life you shouldn't miss We're now becoming Your Native Wind Echoes of sounds And visionaries Nothing we've seen or even heard before Singing symphonies in melodies Drawing us to once again Soar Soar Soar Oh, yaddy dah, yaddy di di di dum Echoes of sounds And visionaries Nothing we've seen or even heard before Singing symphonies in melodies Drawing us to once again Echoes of sounds And visionaries Nothing we've seen or even heard before Singing symphonies in melodies Drawing us to once again Soar Once again Soar

Distant Sky 03:15
When I was a boy I use to dream of the future Through your eyes Beneath your distant sky Well now Clearly Through your light I can see you And now Clearly Through your love I can see you, you, you, you Beside a willow tree I'd weep, until I was free Through your eyes Beneath your distant sky Well now Clearly Through your light I can see you And now Clearly Through your love I can see you, you, you, you And I was never the type who would Tip toe, through your hall Not as far as I can ever Really recall But now, I hear, you calling, me Now Clearly Through your light I can see you And now Clearly Through your love I can see you, you, you, you

The darkness that surrounds us Will soon disappear So brace these sails For all will be made clear There in the distance There's a great thunder A choir singing We won't go under For here in our hour A time approaches Well truly it is here So let go of your fears and Know this Know this Your every tear Will be wiped away So cry Cry diddy dy From the heights of Heaven The light is brighter still Amidst Your will These pillars of fire Well they're leading us higher Well... Your every tear Will be wiped away So cry Cry diddy dy From the heights of Heaven For love has made a way Calvary is on display So cry, cry To the depths Of the sea And we'll make war and romance War and romance We'll make war and romance War and romance Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ya, da, la, dum, ya, dum, yady dum, yady da dee dum

Mercy Melody 03:06
I tried my best To hide what was inside But the pain Was too much to handle So I fell back down On my knees To cry You came around You knelt down by me You kissed my brow You set me free And what are your words? You speak in broken code And where can one run? When lies are all we're sold You came around You knelt down by me You kissed my brow You set me free Before I could cry You sang a song A melody Of Your mercy You Came running after me While I Was still Your sworn Enemy And Your mercy cries Cry, cry, cry As I ask why Why, why, why I ask why You took me in as Your own Just a stranger I didn't have a home I ask You why I ask You why I ask Why, why, why, why, why Your love is a mystery to me For all eternity I will be singing Of Your Glory

Through the blood, sweat, wine, and tears You trace back through all my fears It's a lesson as old as time Sage advice and crossed out lines It's a measure that come and goes Beyond the essence of what I know There's an ocean at my wake These trail of tears have got to break But I've got blue skies up ahead I guess I'm doin fine, doin fine All these things I left unsaid Guess that's peace of mind, peace of mind Yah, dah, dah, dah Yah, dah, dah, dah Yah, dah, dah, dah Water, fire, earth, and wind Seven pillars of wisdom These are the things we can't pretend Ancient knowledge revealed Of all the things that have kept me free The benevolence of your seas At times I wonder if The angels even wish to be But I've got blue skies up ahead I guess I'm doin fine, doin fine All these things I left unsaid Guess that's peace of mind, peace of mind Yah dah yah dah Peace of Mind Yah ah, They say the good LORD isn't far From the broken hearted The broken hearted Guess that means You and I We will never ever really Truly be Parted, parted But I've got blue skies up ahead I guess I'm doin fine, doin fine All these things I left unsaid Guess that's peace of mind, peace of mind I got blue skies up ahead All these things I left unsaid I Guess that's peace of mind, peace of mind

At Large 04:00
Leave the past behind Take a handful of soil Wipe away your tears Call it a new frontier Your light is brighter Amidst the dark Oh my little fighter Go ahead and make your mark If you feel you can't reach the golden arm Don't be alarmed It's the blood of the Lamb for you and me So consider us at large They build their steeples And they fill them with people But they don't want the Holy Ghost He might love them the most So if you're tired of control Learn the art of letting go They've made a mockery of Christ Let's go make them think twice If you feel you can't reach the golden arm Don't be alarmed It's the blood of the Lamb for you and me So consider us at large Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I spoke to Matthew I spoke to Mark Spoke to Luke and John And they can't make sense Of what we've done With the Blood If you feel you can't reach the golden arm Don't be alarmed It's the blood of the Lamb for you and me So consider us at large At large At large

Hold On 04:35
And when the bullets fresh in your back And you can't stand another attack When you loosen your horses reins Just look to the one who truly reigns You've got to hold on You've got to hold on You've got to hold on To the love of God You've got to hold on You've got to hold on You've got to hold on To the love of God Oh brother Oh sister Oh Mother Oh Father Oh brother Oh sister Oh Mother Holy Father And when I cannot hear I try to listen And when I cannot see I take a look And when I cannot feel I reach out to you Cause sometimes That's all we can do You've got to hold on You've got to hold on Got to hold on To the love of God You've got to hold on You've got to hold on Got to hold on To the love of God Oh brother Oh sister Oh Mother Holy Father Woah brother Woah sister Woah Mother Holy Father And when the road gets steep And you feel you can't carry on When you find it hard To breath Just look to the King of Kings Oh And though I walk in the valley Of the shadow of death Jesus Christ is right there with me And though I walk in the valley Of the shadow of death Jesus Christ is singing to me You've got to hold on You've got to hold on Got to hold on To the love of God You've got to hold on You've got to hold on Got to hold on To the love of God I can see You standing right there Your heart pure and true I can hear You calling for me You're calling me Oh You're calling me I can see You standing right there Your heart pure and true I can hear You calling for me You're calling me Oh You're calling me You've got to hold on You've got to hold on You've got to hold on For the love of God You've got to hold on You've got to hold on Got to hold on To the love of God

Mended 04:32
And when your eyes fade away from mine I will try my best to hold the line When your hand grips mine so tight I will do my best to fight Take me below Ain't that where All the good ones go? For we all know This realm is already owned And when your song reaches out to my shores Will I then meet the one I adore? Take us below Ain't that where All the good ones go? For we all know This realm is already owned Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh The war I was losing You already won The war I was losing You already won The war I was losing You already won The war I was losing You already won Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh The war I was losing You already won The war I was losing You already won Through tears I was weeping You brought A breakthrough The heart I was breaking You mended Back to You
