Everything Beautiful 05:20
lyrics

There’s a time to be born, and a time to die A time to plant, and time to reap There’s a time to kill, and a time to heal A time to laugh and a time to weep He's made everything beautiful in its own time Everything has a part And more than He’s done, more than mortals could find To the end from the start He planted eternity into their heart There’s a time to throw out, and a time to keep A time to lose and time to seek There's a time to tear, and a time to sew A time to be silent, and a time to speak He's made everything beautiful in its own time Everything has a part And more than He’s done, more than mortals could find To the end from the start He planted eternity into their heart There’s a time for war, and a time for peace A time to love, and time to hate There’s a time to mourn, and a time to dance A time to embrace, and refrain from embracing, oh He's made everything beautiful in its own time Everything has a part And more than He’s done, more than mortals could find To the end from the start He planted eternity into their heart He's made everything beautiful in its own time Everything has a part And more than He’s done, more than mortals could find To the end from the start He planted eternity into their heart Divine purpose, nothing under the sun But God can satisfy since time has begun, nothing under the sun Divine purpose, nothing under the sun But God can satisfy this longing for One, nothing under the sun Divine purpose, nothing under the sun But God can satisfy since time has begun, nothing under the sun Nothing under the sun Nothing under the sun

Ends of the Earth 03:01
lyrics

Listen to all the matters on my heart I keep inside Tell me all the answers till there’s nothing left to hide I came thinking I’d find just fabled ancient lore I would come from the ends of the Earth to behold something more I would come from the ends of the Earth to behold something more If there is higher majesty, then please don't let me know I just couldn't take it lest my weakness start to show I heard but didn't believe until I saw for sure I would come from the ends of the Earth to behold something more I would come from the ends of the Earth to behold something more I’ve relished costly spices and glittering gold They pale compared to you and the half has not been told Would you indulge me while I dream contentment could be real I’ve seen true happiness, much deeper than I feel Words could never describe this joy I can’t ignore I would come from the ends of the Earth to behold something more I would come from the ends of the Earth to behold something more

Enjoy life with the wife whom you have loved all your days May you be ravished with her love always May your fountain be blessed, satisfied on her breast And rejoice in the wife of your youth You’re the one I’ve loved all the days of my life of vanity Under the sun, He gave me a wife as lovely as you How I enjoy life with you I enjoy life with you You’re my portion in life, my bride, impart your love with one Glance of your eyes, oh my, my heart is ravished by you How I enjoy life with you I enjoy life With my lovely deer, my graceful doe Each passing year, I love you so much more On your loving breast each day I'm satisfied and my Fountain is blessed, what grace I find rejoicing in you How I enjoy life with you I enjoy life With my lovely deer, my graceful doe Each passing year, I love you so much more You’re the one I’ve loved all the days of my life of vanity Under the sun. How I enjoy life with you

Life Under the Sun 05:24
lyrics

Rivers run to the sea Yet the sea isn’t full, nor could ever be To the place where they run There they run again like life under the sun Going south, turning north And so on the wind goes blowing forth Turn about as it yearns To continually follow until it returns Creation was subject to vanity In hope of freedom from its slavery What has been done is what will be done What has been is what will be Under the sun, there’s nothing new to see Just vanity of vanities Sun will rise, and it sets Bringing forth new beginnings without old regrets To its place will it rise So it hurries through darkness yet never dies Creation was subject to vanity In hope of freedom from its slavery What has been done is what will be done What has been is what will be Under the sun, there’s nothing new to see Just vanity of vanities What has been done is what will be done What has been is what will be Under the sun, there’s nothing new to see Just vanity of vanities

Chasing the Wind 03:17
lyrics
buy track
All remain the same, though a generation comes and goes the earth stands forever Nothing satisfies, all is weary and tried, nothing’s new and nothing’s remembered So the cycle remains, in a world that is vain Like chasing the wind Like chasing the wind And so will it end right where it begins Like chasing the wind Now my knowledge increased and my heart never ceased to know wisdom, folly and madness Thinking pleasure I'd find, as the blind lead the blind, all I found were toil and sadness No advantage was won, here under the sun Like chasing the wind Like chasing the wind And so will it end right where it begins Like chasing the wind ’Midst all this vanity, God has an economy In this downward fall, take Him as your all So I labored in vain knowing all that I gained was just left to the man who came after All our days are vexed, and our heart doesn't rest, though sorrow is better than laughter I perceived one fate, I just couldn't relate Like chasing the wind Like chasing the wind And so will it end right where it begins Like chasing the wind Like chasing the wind Like chasing the wind And so will it end right where it begins Like chasing the wind

Checker Work and Chain 03:40
lyrics

I watched your glory fade just like the setting sun Till nothing there was bright Its splendor wasn’t quite the same The seed you’d sow would spoil the sunrise you begun Jaded by its light It fell on me despite the shame These nets of checkerwork and chain And hours spent in vain Praying that they'd let me go Surround me like a thorny crown Encircled there I found A bed where trusting lilies grow Be strong and be a man, you sagely iterate With a heart beguiled And legacy defiled by sin Situations intermix and complicate Though I’m a little child It’s time my reconciling begins These nets of checkerwork and chain And hours spent in vain Praying that they'd let me go Surround me like a thorny crown Encircled there I found A bed where trusting lilies grow Oh, oh, aah, may the trusting lilies grow Oh, oh, aah, may the trusting lilies grow These nets of checkerwork and chain And hours spent in vain Praying that they'd let me go Surround me like a thorny crown Encircled there I found A bed where trusting lilies grow

Without a Sound 04:02
lyrics

Neither hammer nor ax nor iron tool Was heard in the house while being built He’ll lay us all down one by one And without a sound we shall be built Gather all sojourners to be found Quarry the great stones from the ground Hew till the edges rough are round Fit to be built without a sound Hammers can break with just a word Ointments will slake until they're stirred The path that we take, though not preferred Leads to a place where no sound is heard Neither hammer nor ax nor iron tool Was heard in the house while being built He’ll lay us all down one by one And without a sound we shall be built Stones that the natural form retain Can at the most be piled in vain Those that allow the cutting pain Without a sound His building gain Have you not felt you’re all alone The lot you've been dealt could not be known Foundations are laid with costly stones Without a sound He builds His home Neither hammer nor ax nor iron tool Was heard in the house while being built He’ll lay us all down one by one And without a sound we shall be built And without a sound we shall be built

Vanity Fair 02:57

Vanity, says the preacher I set my heart to be a seeker Liquid myrrh drips from my fingers Sweetly killing my urge to linger Living in this world, fully aware We’re passing through a vanity fair Bold we escape the fowler’s snare Passing through this vanity fair In my heart I said, in measure Taste enjoyment, test out pleasure All the works my hands could manage Under the sun gave no advantage Living in this world, fully aware We’re passing through a vanity fair Bold we escape the fowler’s snare Passing through this vanity fair Fleeing this world’s vanity We’re learning life’s reality Pressed into His mold Real life we behold Living in this world, fully aware We’re passing through a vanity fair Bold we escape the fowler’s snare Passing through this vanity fair Passing through this vanity fair

An Understanding Heart 03:22
lyrics

It was a night dream where God appeared Such a sight seemed to be so sincere Ask and I will give you whatever you want With Your great love to my father shown How You gave a son to sit upon his throne In his place, though I'm a little child Oh, I don't know how to come or go O Lord, impart an understanding heart Now the bitter foes stood before the throne Pleading interpose and make your wisdom known Which of us is the mother of this child? With the smiting sword emerging to divide How she implored with a compassionate cry Oh, my Lord, give the child so that he may live Oh, I don't know how to come or go O Lord, impart an understanding heart If I ask for riches You would give them If I ask to lengthen all my years Nothing could compare to what You would prepare For the ones who love You without fear Oh, I don't know how to come or go O Lord, impart an understanding heart

A Measure of Life 03:44
lyrics
buy track
If true heart perfection is simply a reflection Of a fully-following heart Why would you leave the love you held from the start? If love’s vain attraction would spark a chain reaction Turning your heart far away Could God’s own appearing infuse you with fearing you’d stray? Could I wield all the wisdom in the world Would it ever compare to a pearl of worth That life plus suffering produced? So capability follows If gifts from above only lead to strife Could they ever replace a measure of life? The life a dove can supply Issues from a measure of life If clinging forbidden never could be hidden From the very God that you trust How could you yield to such indulgence in lust? Does wisdom really matter when kingdoms fall and shatter? Casting dominion aside Deadly division instead of your vision abides Could I wield all the wisdom in the world Would it ever compare to a pearl of worth That life plus suffering produced? So capability follows If gifts from above only lead to strife Could they ever replace a measure of life? The life a dove can supply Issues from a measure of life

A Land Far Away 03:41
lyrics

I am a servant of the God of my fathers A chosen remnant in a land far away Made me protector of a kingdom of captors But wisdom’s king appealed in hope for this day And I remember what he prayed When we’re delivered to the hand of the enemy And carried captive to a land far away Hear our prayer toward the land of our fathers Toward the chosen city, and the house for Your name O Lord, our cause maintain I came to know the decree of the plotters But nothing’s new under the light of the sun Open windows tame a den full of lions So I knelt down just like I always have done And thanked my God with what he prayed When we’re delivered to the hand of the enemy And carried captive to a land far away Hear our prayer toward the land of our fathers Toward the chosen city, and the house for Your name O Lord, our cause maintain I see the land, the city, and dwelling My aim: His interest, fending off the attack If God’s move is like a train in its power Only prayer will pave the way as the track Always remember what he prayed When we’re delivered to the hand of the enemy And carried captive to a land far away Hear our prayer toward the land of our fathers Toward the chosen city, and the house for Your name O Lord, our cause maintain

A Threefold Cord 04:18

Better are two than one Falling, how you lift me up Lying, keep me warm Standing, we’ll endure the storm We weren't meant to be alone A threefold cord is not quickly broken Though I may be A threefold cord is not quickly broken So braided we were meant to be Strongholds we will subdue Fleeing, together we pursue With those calling, Lord Nothing will ever break this cord We weren't meant to be alone A threefold cord is not quickly broken Though I may be A threefold cord is not quickly broken So braided we were meant to be So naturally, to self I'm prone You're breaking me, my life is not my own A threefold cord is not quickly broken Though I may be A threefold cord is not quickly broken So braided we were meant to be So braided we were meant to be
