Sarah Masen Lyrics
All Fall Down
blow Your trumpets angels
come sweet salvation
hallelujah
shout scattered thanks
in power that’s strength
and glory
good lord gory
and the fool stands only to fall
but the wise trip on grace
all fall down
all fall down
hit the ground
all fall down
very large gates
keep out very real heartaches
of sin and cracked creation
oh my soul
and the beggars and saints
will embrace and dive into
sweet communion
and the Father will laugh
laugh till he cries
home at last
goodbye false notions
of independence
welcome me security
Break Hard The Wishbone
two o’clock p.m.
the clock has let me know
i owe it for last week
i`ve been punching in and out
so much
my card is losing it’s heartbeat
i do not want to
step outside the beat
when You’re conducting time
my wish is to dance free
in front of You
until You laugh at me
can i do that
would You like that
and You say
break hard the wishbone
baby break hard
break hard the wishbone
baby break hard
i underestimate the freedom
You have given in the open bars
for life and love to play
its course
inside the measure
of Your breaking arms
consider all Your works
and how they play the spirit
in the coming wind
You end the holds
that stop the time
to cue the white skeletal
symphony
give me all Your everything
paint the sea a deeper green
and call it land
spin me till i understand
You’ve got bigger hands than me
You’ve got bigger hands than me
Flames of Truth
quiet confusion
strangle illusions
holding back the tears from falling
drowning inside me
cover what i see
let Your light wash through my soul
bum out what i see
bind my eyes
tear this painted black sea
i’m losing myself in my search for You
i’m reaching through the flames of truth
show me Your Son’s life
pictures of pure light
i cannot capture His might
but oh how i’ve tried
forgive my thunder
pushing You under
give me the strength to admit
nothing’s my own here
we fall and hearts tear
facing us towards the truth
leaving us with the truth
Unveiled Faces
i see where You pulled me
now i’m reaching
i’ve let what You told me
would consume my soul – shine
You showed me Your glory
it overwhelmed me
You’ve taught me to lose myself
that’s where start to
shine the unveiled faces
reflecting the knowledge of Christ
awakened by sunlight
i’m outside of the cave
creation s dancing before me
bearing Your name as it
shines the unveiled faces
reflecting the knowledge of Christ
shine increasing glory
transforming a simple mold to shine
and the darkness
it kills us
but it calls us
friends drawing us back home
shine the unveiled faces
reflecting the knowledge of Christ
shine increasing glory
You’re crashing the shadows with light
Love
you wanna know
all about
where you can get some
you need to know fast
there is no doubt
you wanna know
where you can find some love
cause everybody wants it
everybody needs it
nobody gets the meaning of it
not without love
love is a giving thing
love is a forgiving thing like spring
love
and you know you can trust in love
a man once said to me
a long time ago
he lost his true love
but how can that be
maybe later he’ll see that
all that lives on is love
and everybody wants it
everybody needs it
nobody seems to get it
all confused about it
but to get it
you have to just give it
you have to just live it
once in a while
you open up just like a child
see things fresh and new
i wish this for you
i wish this for you
everybody wants it
everybody needs it
everyone deserves it
if you’re sad
even if you’re mad
Downtown
when i’m standing close
to the clouds at fear and doubt
i reach out my hand
to the love that pulls me out
i hop in my car that takes me down the road
that leads me straight into my Father’s arms
when i’m flying deep
into the clouds of fear and doubt
i speak loud Your name
in the midst of my defeat
i run to my car and travel down the road
that leads me straight into my Father’s arms
i go driving downtown
sitting close to fate
i go driving downtown
where i find Your grace
i go driving downtown
when i’m falling back
through a past of fear and doubt
i reach hard for truth
underneath this inbetween
i look for Your lead and follow down the road
that leads me closer to my Father’s arms
when i’m flying close
into the clouds of fear and doubt
i reach hard far truth
in the midst of my defeat
i run to my car that takes me down the road
of grace and freedom in my Father’s arms
in the middle of our human condition
is the emerald city of our saving provision
and we wrestle and struggle
till we can hardly stand
and we drive downtown into that praying land
but what we want most is home
what we want most is home
Tuesday
tuesday after a reckless and used day
i was running and running without a chance
to stop and chat at the sky
finally i stopped for a breath in the evening
suddenly. i was caught by the scenery
painting a picture of You
day set, scatters of clouds in the distance
they whitewash the backdrop of secrets
whispering shadows of blue
in more delicate hues
Come In
if you re standing next to someone
who doesn’t know your name
come in pull up a chair
you and me. we’re the same
this is the palace of the thinkers.
dreamers. in-betweeners
the broken record-players
hearing something in this music
here the wind blows softly,
carrying a note forever
cradling the melody of hope
if you’re screaming in the dark
and no one hears your voice
welcome to this whole new world of
sound
come in friend sit down
oh it’s the atmosphere of truth
with an offering of peace
under your flesh of weathered pride
so many broken dreams
fallen man and other things
if you’re reaching out
to no one and holding in a smile
come in and know your name
friend, i’m listening
Kissing Tree
happy days seem far too far
loneliness is on my trail
since you packed up your suitcase
the car just doesn’t start
i guess it’s lost its heart
did you have to take that too
remember when
roses were red
violets were too
sugar was never so sweet
as it was to me and you
i let go of you
you let go of me
and we fell underneath the kissing tree
all the scents still hang around
the seasons just wont change
well, okay, maybe they do
i know that duty calls
and when you feel this wind
i know you go with your heart
if you wouldn’t mind letting go of my heart
it’ll never stretch that far no
roses were red
violets were too
the moon was never so close
as it was to me and you
i let go of you
you let go of me
and we fell underneath the kissing tree
the kissing tree
Fly Baby
this bond’s been misunderstood
yeah, the dreams we build are paper kingdoms
friend if only we could
reach beyond ourselves for some understanding
let’s go for a drive baby, fly maybe
tear this canvas blue sky
let’s rip through the seams of our
insecurities
on to deeper things
come on babe try
moments of disbelief
fill the atmosphere with thoughts that
hold us under
looking for some retreat
from the fear that keeps us in
silence
i will not embrace indifference
nor will stop
when we’re almost there
and i will run with all my might
run until we fall
run until we crash
run until we fly
run until we die
