"Newly reborn" and still there is no change
You can't base your claim off of what you gain
Cause there is power in the wake of surrendering
To the King, just call yourself out
and quit the two-face game
Bask inside the world you see you're at the top
of an ever shifting power tree I see the truth escaping
from who you claim to be leaking through your self proclaiming fortress of victory
Chorus:
You are the ruler of nothing
A king of your mistakes
You can't abuse His grace
You can't abuse His grace
You can't expect to be saved
Your faith is all or nothing (all or nothing)
You have your own choice and one day
I hope you can see
That God will not be played for free
(Don't you see, don't you see) Don't you see
you can't dig yourself out
of a grave you're born into, you were born to lose
But my God can save you, My God still wants you to wake up, to wake up before it's too late
To wake up to wake up
Can't you see, can't you see what's been done for you?
This life isn't easy but you have a purpose
You have, a purpose

(Kevin)
You can't escape the world you're living in
No matter what you change
You will always fail
until you let me take the blame
I can be the one to break the cycle
To pull you back when your perfect world goes under
To carry everything you give to me, when you've lost your way
I will carry you home, to pick you up
when you are on your knees
I gave it all just to set you free
Can't you see what's been done for you?
Chorus//
You are the ruler of nothing
A king of your mistakes
You can't abuse His grace
You can't abuse His grace
You can't expect to be saved
Your faith is all or nothing (all or nothing)
You have your own choice and
One day I hope you can see
That God will not be played for free

You thought you had me figured out
before you knew my name.
Your eyes see something
different, than the heart thats
behind this face.
I am worth more than your judgement
I can do so many stupid things right
and you'll only see me for the mistakes I've made.
Don't try to judge me with your
misguided perceptions
You keep me trapped in mental slavery
Chorus//
I am so much more than you bargain for
standing up without shame I won't be a game you play
your words will fall short as you go to war
standing up without shame I won't be a game you play
Ill always walk away
Standing up for what's right
and fighting for what I know, what I know
I will be the light
I will persist and grow
Standing up for what's right
and fighting for what I know, what I know
You have me questioning my
morals and my beliefs, never
thinking I am good enough for
you and your twisted society.
He knows what your going through,
You are never alone
Chorus//
I am so much more than you bargain for
standing up without shame I won't be a game you play
your words will fall short as you go to war
standing up without shame I won't be a game you play
Ill always walk away
I won't be a game you play
I won't be a game you play
I won't be a game you play

Hollow Gods
04:29

It's the constant search for more
Our addiction to excess,
objects escalated up from the floor
Gluttony has invaded society
Our churches are... no better
than the filth living out on the streets
We are always on a never ending
search to satisfy our pathetic needs and wants.
Our appetites are as strong as death
Were out of breath, were out of breath
We keep indulging ourselves in self-satisfaction.
We can't keep doing this any longer.
Chorus//
Those who worship hollow gods
Are the ones in constant need
Run away from those distractions
that pull you farther away.
You live as your own god
chasing after everything
but you're left feeling empty
truth be told, you're satisfied by nothing
You live as your own god
truth be told your satisfied by nothing
You live as your own god
truth be told your satisfied by nothing
We are always on a never ending search to
satisfy our pathetic needs and wants.
Our appetites are as strong as death
Were out of breath, were out of breath
We keep indulging ourselves in self-satisfaction.
We can't keep doing this any longer.
Chorus//
Those who worship hollow gods
Are the ones in constant need
Run away from those distractions
that pull you farther away.
You live as your own god
chasing after everything
but you're left feeling empty
truth be told, you're satisfied by nothing
You live as your own god
truth be told your satisfied by nothing
You live as your own god
truth be told your satisfied by nothing

I do not understand what I do.
I only do the things I hate and
disregard what I love the most
It's not me I swear, it's this
temptation that always consumes me
How selfish minded I've become
to put myself before the holy one
Even after all of the things I have
been through, I will not be controlled.
Even after all of the things I have
been through, I will not be owned by my weakness
Chorus//
Never give up, Never give up,
set your mind on the things above.
Never give up, Never give up
The King will set things straight in this life
Never give up, Never give up
stand tall and put up a fight
The power of sin within me keeps
sabotaging my best intentions.
Something has gone wrong deep
within me and gets the better of
me every time.
It happens so regularly that its
predictable. Its so predictable
Chorus//
Never give up, Never give up,
set your mind on the things above.
Never give up, Never give up
The King will set things straight in this life
Never give up, Never give up
set your mind on the things above
Never give up, Never give up
stand tall and put up a fight

Surrender
03:40

Yeah, I've been told that there's something better
an endless love that will last forever
I've heard my name has a place in these pages
but I can say that I don't deserve it
When everyday is just another failure
to blind to see and I've always been so stubborn
I've always said I don't care but
the truth I've been hiding is I need an answer
Chorus//
I'm sick of living this way,
Im too tired to do this on my own.
I lift up my hands and surrender to you God.
Through all the noise I hear you say
"Come home my son, you have been made
so clean, I've made you so clean."
Every wrong you've done has been wiped away
Every wrong you've done has been wiped away
I've hated, I've attacked
I'm done, I feel defeated
Envy everyone around me
who can say their needed
I can't get a grip, I feel so
useless and empty and worthless
Chorus//
I'm sick of living this way,
too tired to do this on my own.
I lift up my hands and surrender my all to you God.
Through all the noise I hear you say
"Come home my son, you have been made clean, I've made you so clean!"
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I've been set free
And now I'm free indeed
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I've been set free
And now I'm free indeed
