Isaiah 55:1-2, Isaiah 25:6-9
Verse 1:
There is a mountain only the lame can climb
There is a table only the hungry find
Only the beggar will have the currency
When need is all you need
Verse 2:
There is a victory only the conquered gain
There is a glory that you get when give up your name
Oh the peace when you finally yield your fight
In surrender rise
Chorus
Come with open hands in need
Come hearts broken, bended knee
A gift can only be received
Received
Verse 3:
Come to the mountain, He carries the cripple to the feast
Come to the table, come sit, He has saved you a seat
Come and eat and drink without money and without a cost
He has paid it on the cross
Chorus
Bridge:
The King bends low to wash our feet
To give himself as an offering
To lead us home to that wedding feast
We taste it now, at last we’ll eat
Of that richest food, oh that well-aged wine
The shroud will lift, our tears he’ll dry
Come hungry souls be satisfied
Both now and forever
Chorus

Eve's Lament (Genesis)

Verse 1:
I wandered far away with my love
I feel the tall grass on my legs
The sun is warm, the birds are singing
I should’ve run when I had the chance
Verse 2:
I felt him sliding up beside me
His words they played upon my pride
I felt the lie wrap all around me
I let his whisper hypnotize
Chorus
Did He really say it? Why is He keeping you down?
Don’t you want to taste it? Freedom without Him around?
Don’t you want to know? Don’t you want to choose?
You want it, don’t you? Don’t you?
Verse 3:
I took the fruit of my desire
Sweet the poison in my mouth
Awake, awake the the fall, the fire
The lie constricts, the curse clamps down
Chorus
Bridge:
Shame the venom running through my veins
A curse, a cancer and my death
And every child of mine, will feel the serpent’s bite
But one will crush his head
Oh come and crush his head
Oh come and crush his head!
Crush his head!

Our chains are gone
We’re homeward bound
To that Golden Shore

CCLI # 7097301. Key: G (capo 5 D). Tempo: 72 bpm.
Written March 2011, Finished October 2015. From Ecclesiastes 1-3.
Verse 1:
Wisdom is good, it puts eyes in your head
But it’s foolish to think it’ll save you from death
Both the fool and the wise man are numbering their breaths
And in the end, all this wisdom is just meaningless
Verse 2:
Pleasure is nice, the taste and touch
But with all your indulgence, you can’t get enough
You can chase every pleasure around every bend
But in the end all this chasin’
Is just chasin’ wind
Chorus:
Oooh all is vanity, Oooh all is vanity
You feel eternity
And it’s beating in your chest
So you know in your soul it’s not all meaningless
Verse 3
Beauty is sweet to the beholder’s eye
And you know it when you see it ‘Cause it echoes the Light
But age and opinion bid beauty goodbye
And in the end the beholder just changes his mind
Chorus
Bridge:
If there is restlessness, Could there be rest?
If there is hunger, Could there be fullness?
If there is restlessness, There must be rest!
If there is hunger, There must be fullness!
Tag:
You feel eternity, And it’s beating in your chest
So you know in your soul it’s not all meaningless

Despised and rejected and nailed to the wood

We never understood
There is none who is good! So

THE TWO LOST SONS (LUKE 15)
Words and music by Caroline Cobb (ASCAP). Copyright 2017 Sing the Story Music.
CCLI # 7097306. Key: E. Tempo: 150.
Luke 15:11-32. Based on Tim Keller’s Prodigal God.
Verse 1:
I have been the younger son
Chase my pleasure, chase my fun
Build castles in the sand
My own Promise Land
When my kingdoms crumble down
The famine comes, I bottom out
Well I can hear your voice Call for your little boy
Pre-Chorus 1:
But you were more of a means than a Father
You were drownin’ my dreams underwater
Chorus:
My child, my child I’ll run out to meet you
Come into my house What’s lost can be found
My child, my child come into the party
All I have is yours Don’t stand outside my door
All I have is yours
Verse 2:
I have been the elder son
Slavin’ til the work is done
Just tryin’ to earn my keep
Nothing comes for free
Bitterness was in my blood
From all this tryin’ to be enough
But you love that wayward son
Oh but look at what I’ve done
Pre-Chorus 2:
You were more of a means than a Father
I acted like an employee,
Not a son, not a daughter
Chorus
Bridge:
Don’t let your pride get in the way
You don’t need to earn my love
Don’t let your guilt get in the way
You don’t need to earn my love
All of those rules that you keep or you break
You don’t need to earn my love
There is a Son that has already paid
You don’t need to earn it
You don’t need to deserve it
Come home, come home!
Chorus
Outro:
Come into my joy!
All I have is yours

Come hungry to the feast
Come weary find your peace
The Bride and Spirit sing
Come! Come!
