Plankeye - "Commonwealth" <(TN1054)
1. Whisper To Me
Isn't it funny what I forgot today;
Isn't it great how you worked in spite
of me
I can see that you're not laughing,
Yeah I know it's not a joking matter
I guess it's just one of the ways to hide me from my share...
When I think you left forever I hear your voice - whisper to me
You are a son of grace, you are a new born saint
You are a chosen temple for me to rest my name
I hung there crucified, I lived and died and lived again
I saw eternity collide to bring you to me...
When I think you left forever I hear your voice I hear your
voice,
and when I think you left forever I hear your voice - whisper to me...
2. B.C.
Well i fought a good fight;
I thought the battle had been won
I thought that it was over, until you came along.
Sweet as candy but sour as a lime.
You rattled my cages, you took me for a ride,
you took me for a ride...
Smacked and knocked down, you hit me blindside.
I thought that I had waited but it was the wrong time.
Jesus prepare me, and do with me as you will.
I'll wait till this is over, for me you will fufill,
me you will fulfill...
People will come and go, but Jesus remains the
way,
Put your hope in heaven, and you'll never be the same,
never be be the same, never be the same,
never be the same, never be this way.
will
never be the same, will never be the same
will never be the same, will never be this way,
will never be the same, I promise, not in this life
will never be the same, will never be this way,
will never be the same, I promise, not in this life
3. Push Me Down (Veiled)
How can i move forward from this place?...of disgrace
I'm full of stone...immovable
Push me down,
Push me down, down, down,
Push me down,
Push me down, down, now
I might break in two, suffer a chip
Now all that echoes in the chambers of my heart
Thin silhouettes of your truth, yeah
Push me down,
Push me down, down, down,
Push me down,
Push me down, down, now
Created, create, created, an opaque mess
I might break in two, suffer a chip
How can i move forward from this place?...of disgrace
I'm full of stone...immovable
Push me down,
Push me down, down, down,
Push me down,
Push me down, down, now
Created, create, created, an opaque mess
I might break in two, suffer a chip
Remove the veils
from my heart that once were torn by your blood
Remove the scales so I can see all of you and you in me
4. Struck By The
Chord
Winded again by my broken silence;
Love's become a noise, as my tongue's
on fire
My heart's consumed, struck by the chord of pride;
Woe is me I shall come down
I shall come down
Can't seem to see me, my words are much too loud,
as my tongue's on fire
Easily ensnared, strengthen my hands which hang down
Quench the violence of my fire, of my fire...
Precious blood of Christ, bring death that i might see life
Precious blood of Christ, bring death that i might see life
Winded again by my broken silence;
Love's become a noise, as my tongue's
on fire
My heart's consumed, struck by the chord of pride;
Woe is me I shall come down
I shall come down
Precious blood of Christ, bring death that i might see life
Precious blood of Christ, bring death that i might see life
I see new life, I shall come down;
I see new life, I shall come down
5. Placement
Don't bow down, before an empty tomb;
Where a pretty face it makes me
stumble
And another chance is a hidden fall; a hidden fall...
You made that thing with your hands
but you kneel down in front of it
and
pledge your allegiance and all that you owe
to plastic idols, and a rubber soul; a rubber soul...
God is in His holy temple, so let us all be silent
I worship and adore you, my God;
Casting down my treasures to the ground
Making dust of anything that i could set up in Your place
Be thou exalted, be thou exalted
God is in His holy temple, so let us all be silent
6. Commonwealth
He sits and hears the story of his life;
His tears fall down like rain as
he begins
to realize
And I wish that I was near to you, and wish that I was there again
Life is more than gold;
friends are more than old;
memories are the
commonwealth
Thinking about the only Son, that he may have forgotten
You know you were the only one, putting yourself in the place of that man
And I wish that I was near to you, and wish that I was there again
Life is more than gold;
friends are more than old;
memories are the
commonwealth
Thanking God as the time passes by,
as another man does the same,
He thinks about the reasons why, maybe she was the one to blame...
And I wish that I was near to you, and wish that I was there again
Life is more than gold;
friends are more than old;
memories are the
commonwealth
7. He
Take me far away, live a place to stay,
cause I've been wondering for too
long from the shadows of your wings,
complacency has taken over, fly me
far away.
And I forget just what He means to me;
Did you forget just what you mean?
Except for the silence...
Have you noticed that I'm still here?
I wait in vain, when will you come near?
Words influence my nakedness & compromise blurs the lines of distinction
And I forget just what He means to me;
Did you forget just what you mean?
Except for the silence...
8. Bicycle
I have a wife,
and together we live, in a very small room
Yesterday she lost, her car broke down, so now I ride a bycicle
You
say, I told you so, you were much too young to get married.
But I say, you're way too old, and when did you stop living anyway?
As
I ride my bike, with my safety helmet on, and white tennis shoes,
they stare at me, but I see through new eyes, or maybe you just don't remember
But
you say, I told you so, you were much too young to get married.
But I say, you're way too old, and when did you stop living anyway?
This
place that I'm supposed to be, is not the chair of a desk in front of a mirror
Can't you see that it's not here or there or anywhere
But in speaking distance with God and where can you go that's too far?
Because I can worship him anywhere
You
say, I told you so, you were much too young to get married.
But I say, you're way too old, and when did you stop living anyway?
9. Beautiful
You shared her with me yesterday, so close and yet so far away
It's the little things she does that magnify your grace
And your grace resonates in my soul every time I see her face
At your feet I lay her down, humbly before you I bow
She's the blessing, you've given to me, Father of light
The lines have fallen in pleasant places, Many daughters have done well
And you excel them all. Protect her and mold her with your hands
You've been good to me my sweet
And your grace resonates in my soul every time I see her face
You have been a shelter Lord, and she has been my dream
At your feet I lay her down, humbly before you I bow
She's a blessing, you've given to me, Father of light
Beautiful, Beautiful, I feel your grace abound on me
In the light, in the light
At your feet I lay her down, humbly before you I bow
She's a blessing, you've given to me, Father of light
10. Who Loves You More?
I stir my cup and think of you;
It's just the little things that break me
But it's not right to hold you so tight;
I end up wrestling with God over
you...
Whose hands are safer? Who could steal you from His grip?
It separates the ocean, with a brush so effortless...
There is nothing to worry about, because who loves you more than Jesus?
So here again I find myself and everything I've ever loved,
at the foot of the cross with three nails
There is nothing to worry about, because who loves you more,
who loves you more than Jesus?
There is nothing to worry about, because who loves you more,
who loves you more than Jesus?
If I hold onto you, will I let go of Christ? Will I end up denying Him in
abundance of thrice?
Will I end up in the end with less than what I started with? When I surrender...
I stir my cup and think of you;
It's just the little things that break me
But it's not right to hold you so tight;
I end up wrestling with God
