O, the depths of the riches Of the wisdom and the knowledge Of our God, our God How unsearchable his judgments How unfathomable his ways! Who could be His counselor? Could give Him a gift He must repay? For from Him and to Him All things through Him, Amen! Honor, power Glory forever to Him Amen! He was in the beginning His blood has bought our peace Over, above, before The Son, the risen Lord Exalted over everything!

Garden 04:20
Beauty from void, dark to light Sun for the day, stars for the night For you I’ll plant a garden, fill it with light Food for your mouth and color for eyes, and… I will breathe into the dust The breath of life and all my love And when you open your eyes You will see and be satisfied Because I will be with you I will be with you, I Fall asleep; I’ll make for you a love Love like a shield, like a home, like a dove You are free, but ever enthralled And I, I will be your all, and… Pick the lies right off the tree Your eyes are opened but not to see Build a tower to the sky You think you know, you think you’re wise Melt your gold down to a god Sell your soul to pay for your facade Trade your truth for silence I’ll let you loose if you want it
3.
You followed me out to desert places Leaving all familiar faces To a land I will Show you, promise you Lift your eyes and look around you Know my promise will be found true All the land you see will your children’s be And all the stars in the big, big sky And all the sand in the oceans wide Will not outnumber, will not outnumber you All the people in the big, big world All the nations of the earth They will wonder, they will wonder at you From your blood shall come kings Everlasting, everlasting My covenant will be steadfast and free From you shall come many nations and generations They will be my lot, and I will their God But up on the mountain the stars lose their light An ocean of sorrow s you raise the knife But I will remember and I will provide The blood for the altar and raise up his life
4.
There’s a promise in our veins But it’s faded by all these years in chains Send a prophet, send the plagues That by sunrise we will no more be slaves Take the lamb, take the blood And paint it on our doorways At night death will come but pass us by This is all our hope and peace In the morning we will rise Taste the freedom we thought we’d never find We will dance now in the streets Once held captive now we shall live as kings Lift your head, your voice And sing of your salvation Of the blood of the lamb that gave us life Now by this we’ll overcome Now by this we’ll reach our home There’s a poison in our veins And it leads to death we cannot escape Send a ransom a perfect Son Remedy the curse with His precious blood And the Lamb that will come His cross will be our doorway And the red of His blood ill make us white And daughters and sons Rejoice in resurrection And death swallowed up in endless life Glory, glory this I sing All my praise for this I bring Naught of good that I have done Nothing but the blood of Jesus
5.
Your Wounds 04:15
Oh man of sorrows Hated and despised So marred, so ugly We all turned our eyes Like sheep we’ve wandered Going our own way It pleased the Father To crush You in our place Your wounds, our healing Your stripes, our peace You carried our sorrows You carried our griefs Your suffering, our hope You poured out your soul Unto death So we could be counted Righteous Sinless one who takes our sins Dying one our death condemns Bearing our guilt though innocent But the grave can’t hold you in
6.
Dry Bones 02:58
Dry bones Hearts of stone Slain and left In the valley of death Been dead so long All the flesh is gone A mass grave No one can raise But you said “live” And the ground it gives And the bones start to rattle And the darkness lifts And you give them blood and bone and Hearts of stone to flesh You give them muscle, skin And life within the breath Open graves Bodies raised The living breath Reversing death
7.
You’ve heard it said, “don’t you murder anyone” But you carry your anger like a knife And your insults like a gun You’ve heard it said, “don’t you cheat on your wife” But your mind is a motel room And you undress the other woman with your eyes Oh everything you’ve heard, I’m turning on its head I’m cutting to the quick of the law and the prophets I’m gonna finish what they said You’ve heard it said “A king will come with a sword” But I tell you to turn the other cheek And I’ll wear a crown of thorns Yes I’m the son of the One, But I’ve come to wage another war And I’ll bleed for my enemies And I’ll settle the score
8.
I climbed a mountain with three friends Feel the darkness pressing in I ask them to please stay awake And I go off alone to pray Father, please would you take this cup? It’s a heavy load to carry But not my will, but what you want Until I’m dead and buried Sweat and blood they fall like tears It seems the last star’s disappeared Death it comes to separate And my friends can’t stay awake They came with clubs to capture me An old friend he kissed my cheek And all my friends they ran away And I’m alone, denied, betrayed My God, my God’s forsaken me Hanging broken on a tree “Who can save you now?” they laugh The darkness comes, I breathe my last
9.
He is Risen 03:32
He is risen, He is risen And the stone is rolled away He is risen, He is risen Proven by the empty grave Touch his wounds, his hands, his sides And leave all your doubts behind He is risen, He is risen He is risen and alive Death is beaten, sin is vanquished God’s just wrath is satisfied Christ is risen, Christ exalted Seated at the Father’s side His body torn, our living way Our living hope, His body raised He is risen, He is risen He is risen from the grave He is risen, He is risen This is all my hope and stay He is risen, He is risen He is risen from the grave! Jesus risen is returning We are longing for the day When the King will bring the kingdom For this blessed hope we wait The trumpet sounds and we are changed And we will see him face to face Jesus risen, Jesus risen Jesus risen from the grave The trumpet sounds and we are changed And death itself will pass away We are risen, with him risen We are risen from the grave
10.
The Breath of God, the Promised One Filled their mouths and loosed their tongues To sing the praise of the risen Son The mighty works that God has done The breath of God on daughters, sons He is poured out on old and young To sing the praise of the risen Son The mighty works that God has done O breath of God, O Spirit come Fill our mouths, And loose our tongues To sing the praise of the risen son The mighty works that God has done In these last days Everyone Who calls the name Of the Risen Son They shall be saved by His precious blood Oh mighty work that God has done!
11.
Wake Up 04:32
Through one man death it came Running like a virus through our veins Sin it comes and takes the reigns Builds its kingdom on the backs of slaves Through a second man Adam’s better son Death it dies, and life it comes Every power under his feet Death is dyin’ in defeat Wake up, wake up And listen for the trumpet sound For a dead man rose up from the ground Rise up, rise up You dry bones in the dirt For the Son of God has risen up first I tell you this mystery Death itself will lose its sting When the dying dress in the deathless life And we are changed in the twinkle of an eye Sown in weakness, raised in power Sown in dust, death and dishonor Raised immortal, never again to die Death is swallowed up by life
12.
For from Him, to Him All things through Him Honor and power Glory forever to Him! Now by this we’ll reach our home! Now by this we’ll overcome! We will see Him face to face! We will see and be satisfied! He will be our God!

about

This album takes the listener on a journey through scripture, beginning with creation and ending with the second coming of Christ, with every song pointing to Jesus’ death and resurrection. The idea for this album originated with a songwriting goal that Caroline gave herself in late 2010: to write a song for every book of the Bible in just one year, with the deadline being 11/11/11, her thirtieth birthday.

Produced by Josh Moore (Derek Webb, Matthew Perryman Jones, Sandra McCracken) and recorded at Shane & Shane’s studio near Dallas, the album is made up of several songs from that “year of biblical writing.” The album will be pre-sold on iTunes and in her online store on May 6, and will officially release everywhere on June 3, 2013.
