    Herbst

     
    Die Blätter fallen, fallen wie von weit, 
    als welkten in den Himmeln ferne Gärten; 
    sie fallen mit verneinender Gebärde. 
     
    Und in den Nächten fällt die schwere Erde 
    aus allen Sternen in die Einsamkeit. 
     
    Wir alle fallen. Diese Hand da fällt. 
    Und sieh dir andre an: es ist in allen. 
     
    Und doch ist Einer, welcher dieses Fallen 
    unendlich sanft in seinen Händen hält.
    Auteur: Rainer Maria Rilke

    Let Your love be strong

     
    In this world of news
    I've found nothing new
    I've found nothing pure
    Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth
    could be fact and form,
    that love could be a verb
    Maybe I'm just a little misinformed
     
    As the dead moon rises
    and the freeways sigh,
    let the trains watch over the tides and the mist,
    spinning circles in our skies tonight
    Let the trucks roll in
    from Los Angeles
    Maybe our stars are unanimously tired
     
    Let Your love be strong and I don't care what goes down
    Let Your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
    Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from Your eyes
    All of my world hanging on
    Your love
     
    Let the wars begin
    Let my strength wear thin
    Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart
    Train the monkeys on my back to fight
    Let it start tonight
    When my world explodes,
    when my stars touch the ground
    Falling down like broken satellites
     
    Let Your love be strong and I don't care what goes down
    Let Your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
    Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from Your skies
    All that I am hanging on,
    all of my world resting on
    Your love

    King

     
    Have you ever been scared?
    Everybody's been scared
    I've been scared
    God, I've been scared
     
    Have you ever felt pain?
    Everybody's felt pain
    I've felt pain
    God, I've felt pain
     
    But I'm the king of the world today
    I've got this whole dirty place
    wrapped around my finger and I
    think I'm finally on my way
    home
     
    Have you ever had doubt?
    Everybody's had doubt
    I've had doubt
    God, I've had doubt
     
    But it will get better
    And it doesn't matter
    'Cause I feel loved
    Oh God, I feel loved
     
    I'm the king of the world today
    I've got this whole dirty place
    wrapped around my finger and I
    think I'm finally on my way
    home (home)
     
    This is where grace
    becomes my mother
    'Cause I can be one man today,
    tomorrow another
     
    I'm the king of the world today
    I've got this whole dirty place
    wrapped around my finger and I
    think I'm finally on my way
    home (home)

    The Spirit vs. the kick drum

     
    (A one and two and a chickaboomachick)
     
    I don't want the Spirit, I want the kick drum
    I don't want the Spirit, I want the kick drum
    I know how it works, so I'm not dumb
    I don't want the Spirit, I want the kick drum
     
    Like sex without love
    Like peace without the dove
    Like a crime scene without the blood
    I don't want the Spirit you know, I want a kick drum
     
    I don't want the Son, I want a jury of peers
    I don't want the Son, I want a jury of peers
    Mascara's gonna run when you see my tears
    I don't want the Son, I want a jury of peers
     
    Like lies without the truth
    Like wine without the fruit
    Like a sky dive without the chute
    I don't want the Son you know, I want a jury of peers
    I dont want the Spirit you know, I want a kick drum (Oh groove with me baby)
     
    I don't want the Father, I want a vending machine
    I don't want the Father, I want a vending machine
    I know what you want, you know what I mean
    I don't want the Father, I want a vending machine
     
    Like heaven without gates
    Like hell without flames
    Like life without pain
    I don't want the Father you know, I want a vending machine
    I don't want the Son you know, I want a jury of peers
    I don't want the Spirit you know, I want a kick drum

    Real men cry

     
    Real men cry to their mothers
    And laugh with the others
    When all of the jokes are on them
    They're rough and they're tumble
    But inside they're humble
    When nobody's looking, they even get sad
     
    And they'd talk all night
    They'd even break down when you think they might
    And when you get past their egos
    There's a heart that wants to be just like
     
    Jesus
    The man of all men
    The only one that makes hearts whole again
    And He could've backed down
    With those people around
    But He proved for the last time that real men die (die)
     
    Well, you can black out your windows
    Or go where the wind blows
    But you'll answer to something someday
    Bob said it best when his slow train went west
    But dignity just doesn't pay
     
    We could talk all night
    You can even break down if you think you might
    But when we can't impress, there's the real test
    Are we just like
     
    Jesus
    The man of all men
    The only one that makes hearts whole again
    And He could've backed down
    With those people around
    But He proved for the last time that real men die
     
    We could talk all night
    You can even break down if you think you might
    But when you can't impress, there's your real test

    Yeah, He proved for the last time that real men die

    Kleine man

     
    Kleine man
    Als je gaat leven zul je weten hoe het voelt
    Om een liefde zo te dragen dat je weet wat je bedoelt
    Als je moet gaan leren vechten aan een diepe waterkant
    De strijd moet gaan beslechten met Gods wapens in je hand
     
    Ik zing met je mee
     
    En ik weet dat je naar benen zoekt waarop je straks kunt staan
    Als de liefde die je meedroeg als een kaars is uitgegaan
    Je tastend naar de wegen zoekt waarop je vroeger liep
    In de tijd dat je nog blij was als je tot je vader riep
     
    Kleine man
    Je wilt slapen, want je ogen zijn zo zwaar
    Je wilt leven en genieten, toch voel je je zo raar
    Maar je zult ook wel weer vechten met Gods wapens in je hand
    Voor jou is er geen woonplaats in een heel ver niemandsland
     
    Ik zing met je mee
     
    En je bent je aan 't verdiepen, misschien wel voor het eerst
    Waarom krachten in je leven werken die je niet beheerst
    En je weet: het zal gauw over zijn, het einde komt weldra
    Maar het is nog zo ver naar Golgotha
     
    Ik zing mee als je op weg gaat en je weet weer hoe het voelt
    Om een liefde zo te dragen dat je weet wat je bedoelt
    Want samen gaat het beter, en met God een leven lang
    Het lied dat we dan zingen wordt een eindeloos gezang

    There is a river

     
    There is a river that washes you clean
    There is a tree that marks the places you've been
    Blood that was spilled, although not your own
    For all of your tears are the wages for things you've done
     
    And all of those nights
    Spent alone in the darkness of your mind
     
    Give it up
    Let go
    These are things you were never meant to shoulder
     
    There is a river that washes you clean
    There is a tree that marks the places you've been
    Blood that was spilled, although not your own
    For all of those tears love will atone
     
    So give up the right
    To control the waves that empty out your life
    Above wild skies
    Are the rays that break the shadows we design
     
    Give it up
    Let go
    These are things you were never meant to shoulder
    Give it up
    Let go
     
    There is a river that washes you clean
    There is a tree that marks the places you've been
    Blood that was spilled, although not your own
    For all of these things love will atone
     
    I know the world can turn in different ways
    Most of the time we're simply hanging on
    And under the signs of how we all behave
    We might find the place where we belong
     
    There is a river that washes you clean
    There is a tree that marks the places you've been
    Blood that was spilled, although not your own
    For all of these things love will atone
     
    For all of those nights you cried all alone
    All of your tears, love will atone

    Little is much

     
    What is the measure of a life well-lived
    If all I can offer seems too small to give
    This is a song for the weaker, the poorer and so-called failures
     
    Little is much when God's in it
    And no one can fathom the plans He holds
    Little is much when God's in it
    He changes the world with the seeds we sow
    Little is much
    Little is much
     
    Who feels tired and under-qualified
    Who feels deserted and hung out to dry
    This is a song for the broken, the beat-up and so-called losers
     
    Little is much when God's in it
    And no one can fathom the plans He holds
    Little is much when God's in it
    He changes the world with the seeds we sow
    Little is much
    Little is much
    Little is much
    Little is much
     
    Consider a kingdom in the smallest seed
    Consider that giants fall to stones and slings
    Consider the child in a manger
    Consider the story isn't over
    What can be done with what you still have
     
    Little is much when God's in it
    And no one can fathom the plans He holds
    Little is much when God's in it
    He changes the world with the seeds we sow
     
    Little is much when God's in it
    And no one can fathom the plans He holds
    Little is much when God's in it
    He changes the world with the seeds we sow
    Little is much
    Little is much
    Little is much
    Little is much
     
    Consider the story isn't over
    Little is much

    Standing in his place (Father)

     
    You were walking in here
    As he was walking out
    And the space that he was making
    You came to carve out
     
    I guess a cup is only useful
    For the hollow of its shape
    The brokenness in me is
    The need that holds Your grace
    Father
    Be my guide and comfort in his stead
     
    I can almost see You
    Standing in his place
    And in the depth of Your truth
    I can see him in my face
     
    I’m broken and I know it
    My heart fell out the cracks
    It's You, my Lord, I need when
    I am wanting him back
    Father
    Be my guide and comfort in his stead
     
    I can almost see You
    Standing in his place
    And in the depth of Your truth
    I can see him in my face
     
    I can almost see You becoming what is whole in me
    I can almost see You becoming all I need
    I can almost see You, oh
    I can almost see You, oh
     
    I can almost see You
    Standing in his place
    And in the depth of Your truth
    I can see him in my face

    All I want

     
    I will go where glory meets the crude and weak
    I will go where mercy meets the shame
    I will go where strength will find the small and meek
    I will go where magic meets mundane
     
    And You're all I want
    You're all I want
    You're all I'll find
    You have my heart forever
    You are all that I could need

     
    And You're all I want
    You're all I want
    You're all I'll find
    You have my heart forever
    You are all that I could need
     
    I will go where grace and healing love restores
    I will go where peace and rest is known
    I will go where friendship finds my heart in Yours
    I will go where beauty leads me home
     
    And You're all I want
    You're all I want
    You're all I'll find
    You have my heart forever
    You are all that I could need
     
    And You're all I want
    You're all I want

    Disarray

     
    I faced my demons, wrestling these angels to the ground
    And all that I could find
    Was a thin line between all the saints and villains; it was crossed
    In my own mind
     
    Someday I'm gonna find it
    Wish I knew what I was looking for
    Inside the disarray (the dissaray)
    I woke up this morning
    Don't know where I'm going, but it's alright
    I wouldn't have it any other way
     
    Struggling between the facts and fiction; I'm alone
    But I'm alive
    Everyone around me is trying to make a statement; then there's me
    I'm just trying to survive
     
    Someday I'm gonna find it
    Wish I knew what I was looking for
    Inside the disarray (the disarray)
    I woke up this morning
    Don't know where I'm going, but it's alright
    I wouldn't have it any other way
     
    If this was any other day
    I'd pretend
    To know where I stand
    I just don't know
    (I just don't know)
    (I just don't know)
     
    Someday I'm gonna find it
    Wish I knew what I was looking for
    Inside the disarray (the dissaray)
    I woke up this morning
    Don't know where I'm going, but it's alright
    I wouldn't have it any other way
     
    Someday I will find it
    Wish I knew what I was looking for

    We need each other

     
    I think I caught a glimpse of a life without friends
    Bitter, empty, hollow, dark and lonely
    We never meant to hurt each other, so can we trust again?
    And take it as a chance to keep on growing?
     
    I don't know why it doesn't come easy,
    But I know that we could be happy
    If we'd only learn to love
     
    Oh, oh, we need each other, so what's the fighting for?
    Oh, oh, we need each other, please don't close the door
    Oh, oh, we need each other, through all the high's and low's
    Oh, oh, we need each other,
    'cause no one's meant to be alone
     
    Life revolves around the need of having someone
    Causing every complicated feeling
    Oh, and I don't want to lose you, so there is nothing wrong
    With telling me what you need to keep our love strong
     
    It's just a part of being a family
    Taking the good with the bad and the ugly
    If we could only learn to love
     
    Oh, oh, we need each other, so what's the fighting for?
    Oh, oh, we need each other, please don't close the door
    Oh, oh, we need each other, through all the high's and low's
    Oh, oh, we need each other, and I don't want to be alone
     
    Oh, oh, we need each other, fathers, mothers
    Oh, oh, we need each other, all you sisters and brothers
    Oh, oh, we need each other, we need friends and lovers
    Oh, oh, we need each other
     
    I need you
    You need me
    'Cause that's the way
    It's meant to be
    I need you
    We need each other
    I don't want to be alone
     
    I need you
    You need me

    What's a boy to do

     
    I'm sure that I'm moving to Saint Louis
    Three long years wondering here in New York City
    I guess I'm looking for the right way to do this
    I guess I'm looking for the right things to call pretty
    Young boys playing in the park turning their backs to take a shot
    You know I'll stay sharp around here 'cause they're stoning-and-leaving type
    It's the kind of love that comes and goes when there's company coming around
     
    What's a boy to do who knows no man now?
    What's a boy to do who knows no man now?
     
    Daddy's been looking down his nose at all of them
    And I've been looking around for someone to tell me who I am
    He kept saying I was to young to finish a fight
    I'd die each time they came, I never got to draw my knife
    Well it was just a pair of shoes in a middle school room with the world watching in
    An angel is crying, I'm dying just a little inside as they ran away
    Funny which words stick around 20 years down when you're driving alone
     
    What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?
    What's a boy to do when there's no man at home?
     
    Well I'll stack all my books in the perfect rows
    From the biggest down to the smallest ones
    And I buy all the perfect clothes
    Bullet proof and black, where I look like a son
     
    Well it was just a rainy night at his house, a bottle spinning around the room
    And everybody's singing and slipping down the bottom of the halfway rush of blood
    And I was grabbing Missy but I was trying to find the light switch in the dark
     
    What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?
    What's a boy to do with no man in his heart?
     
    It's all quiet for the first time
    With no voices left to fall
    I saw a boy at the bottom of the bridge
    His car was left there on the top
    It's four o'clock in the morning
    Didn't need to be like this
    There's a white sheet left to cover up
    What should have been a holy kiss
    It's not like those days
    It's not like I'm scared of you
     
    What's the Son of man and a boy to do?
    What's the Son of man and a boy to you?

    You are good

     
    You are the One
    Who holds the universe
    And I'm standing here amazed
    That You, the Maker of all things good
    You, the Author of all things true
    You would die upon a tree
    You were made blind so I can see
     
    We lift our voices
    Your grace has come
     
    You are good
    And Your love is everlasting
    You are good
    And Your love is everlasting
     
    You are the mystery
    The hope in me
    And I can't believe it's true
    That You, who took on a world of sin
    You who were dead but rose again
    That I should be Your dwelling place
    Your dwelling place
     
    We lift our voices
    Your Spirit has come
     
    You are good
    And Your love is everlasting
    You are good
    And Your love is everlasting
     
    You are good
    And Your love is everlasting
    You are good
    And Your love is everlasting
     
    Glory to the Father
    Glory to the Son
    Glory to the Spirit
    You've filled our lives with heaven
     
    Glory to the Father
    Glory to the Son
    Glory to the Spirit
    You've filled our lives

    What it means

     
    I've been here a thousand times before
    Face down on the floor
    Wondering how I even reached this place again
     
    But You have shown so endlessly
    How Your love pours over me
    No picture can recreate the beauty that I see
     
    Show me what it means
    To live my life
    A sacrifice
    If only I would realize
    How much it took
    To pay the price
    I know I'd always give
    Everything to You
     
    I want this world to always see
    Your perfect majesty
    Reflecting from my life this brilliant poetry
     
    Written all over this place
    The signs of all creation that You breathe
    Words can't even state how much You mean to me
     
    Show me what it means
    To live my life
    A sacrifice
    If only I would realize
    How much it took
    To pay the price
    I know I'd always give
    Everything to You
     
    I want to face my very crime
    Of not giving all of mine
    I can feel the hope You bring
    To me
     
    Show me what it means
    To live my life
    A sacrifice
    If only I would realize
    How much it took
    To pay the price
     
    Show me what it means
    To live my life
    A sacrifice
    If only I would realize
    How much it took

    Wieder frag ich Dich

     
    Du gehst mit mir durch dick und dünn
    Dein Herz zeigt mir wer ich denn bin
    Ich leb durch Dich, nur Du gibst sinn
    Ich seh Dich nicht, doch spür hier drin
    Wo bist Du?
    Wo bist Du?
    Wo bist Du?
     
    Wieder frag ich Dich
    Wieder sagst Du nichts
    Wieder nehm ich Deine Hand
    Wieder frag ich mich
    Wieso sagst Du nichts?
    Wie die Zeit verrinnt der Sand
     
    Nur Dir allein gehört mein Herz
    Für Dich allein lohnt aller Schmerz
    Dir dien ich hier und jetzt für immer
    Zeig Dich der Welt, sonst wird’s noch schlimmer
    Wo bist Du?
    Wo bist Du?
    Wo bist Du?
     
    Wieder frag ich Dich
    Wieder sagst Du nichts
    Wieder nehm ich Deine Hand
    Wieder frag ich mich
    Wieso sagst Du nichts?
    Wie die Zeit verrinnt der Sand
     
    Wieder frag ich Dich
    Wieder sagst Du nichts
    Wieder nehm ich Deine Hand
    Wieder frag ich mich
    Wieso sagst Du nichts?
    Wie die Zeit verrinnt der Sand
     
    Du gehst mit mir durch dick und dünn
    Dein Herz zeigt mir, wer ich denn bin
    Ich fühl mich frei, wenn Du mich hälst
    Lass mich nie los, Du bist mein Held
     
    Wieder frag ich Dich
    Wieder sagst Du nichts
    Wieder nehm ich Deine Hand
    Wieder frag ich mich
    Wieso sagst Du nichts?
    Wie die Zeit verrinnt der Sand
     
    Wieder frag ich Dich
    Wieder sagst Du nichts
    Wieder nehm ich Deine Hand
    Wieder frag ich mich
    Wieso sagst Du nichts?

    Down Silver Lake

     
    Is anyone awake?
    Anyone at all?
    Siren song is calling me
    It's getting louder now
    Compromise is here
    I know it's all a lie
    I need to hear the melody
    Of Your tune
    Your tune
     
    So take me home
    But keep me feeling lonely
    When everyone is around
    You're trying to show me how to hear Your song
    Down here by the water
    Far away from the lights
    I see that I can't live two lives
     
    Everywhere I go
    I carry with me
    This ceiling that divides us
    It's coming in between
    When conversation turns
    Into a monologue
    I need to just be silent here
    And listen for Your tune
    Your tune
     
    So take me home
    But keep me feeling lonely
    When everyone is around
    You're trying to show me how to hear Your song
    Down here by the water
    Far away from the lights
    I see that I can't live two
     
    Night time
    Lends its ear
    To the sound
    Of my disappointment
    When the ideal fades
    I don't want to complain
    I just want to hear You sing
     
    Take me home
    But keep me feeling lonely
    When everyone is around
    You're trying to show me how to hear Your song
    Down here by the water
    Far away from the lights
    I see that I can't live two lives
    Can't live two lives

    Zoals klei in de hand van de pottenbakker

     
    'Zoals klei in de hand van de pottenbakker
    Zo ben jij in Mijn hand', zegt de Heer
    'Zoals klei in de hand van de pottenbakker
    Zo maak Ik jou een vat tot Mijn eer'
     
    Kneed mij, Heere God
    Ook als het soms wel eens pijn doet
    Kneed mij, Heere God
    U weet precies hoe ik zijn moet
     
    'Zoals klei in de hand van de pottenbakker
    Zo ben jij in Mijn hand', zegt de Heer
    'Zoals klei in de hand van de pottenbakker
    Zo maak Ik jou een vat tot Mijn eer'
     
    Kneed mij, Heere God
    'k Wil mij opnieuw aan U geven
    Kneed mij, Heere God
    U maakt iets moois van mijn leven
     
    Zoals klei in de hand van de pottenbakker
    Zo ben ik in Uw handen, o Heer
    Zoals klei in in de hand van de pottenbakker
    Zo maakt U mij een vat tot Uw eer

    Need Your love

     
    Your love is a heart that's beating
    Your love is an angel's wings
    Your love is a boat that sails on a never ending breeze
    Your love is a sunset fire
    Your love is a melody
    Your love is the grace that brings the sinner to his knees
     
    I need Your love (Your love)
    Your love (Your love)
    I need Your love (Your love)
    To stay with me (Stay with me)
     
    Your love is a new born laughin
    A fire in the winter's cold
    Your love is the bread and wine that breaks to make me whole
    Your love is a King returning
    Who leads the banner of victory
    Your love is the chains of a prisoner finally falling free
     
    I need Your love (Your love)
    Your love (Your love)
    I need Your love (Your love)
    To stay with me (Stay with me)
     
    I need Your love (Your love)
    Your love (Your love)
    I need Your love (Your love)
    To stay with me (Stay with me)
     
    You can change my name
    You can make me someone new
    Love is always a promise
    And Your promises are true
     
    I need Your love (Your love)
    Your love (Your love)
    I need Your love (Your love)
    To stay with me (Stay with me)
     
    I need Your love when the flames consume me
    I need it when my heart breaks
    I need it in a still small voice when the earth around me shakes

    Break me down

     
    A long day alone
    Emptiness is so real
    Never having peace of mind
    Running from what I can't sing
    And there is nowhere left to hide
    Turn and face these empty lies
    All alone, heart unturned
    Trying to find
     
    Break me down
    Replace this fear inside
    Take this nothingness from me
    I want to fight
    I want to shine
    I want to rise
    Break me down
     
    I try to find myself
    I find the stranger trapped inside
    And I take one more step away
    From the face I used to recognize
    Familiar shadows closing in
    Suffocating fear descends
    You killed a life, uncovered eyes
    Trying to find
     
    Break me down
    Replace this fear inside
    Take this nothingness from me
    I want to fight
    I want to shine
    I want to rise
    Break me down
    Replace this fear inside
    Take this nothingness from me
    I want to fight
    I want to shine
    I want to rise
    Break me down
     
    Break me down
    I want to fight
    I want to shine
    I want to rise
    Break me down
    I want to fight
    I want to shine
    I want to rise
    Break me down
    I want to fight
    I want to shine
    I want to rise
    Break me down
    Break me
