lift your voices
lift your holy hands
lift your praises high
lift them up in the name of the author of love
time - bending, everlasting
almighty God from age to age
beginning and ending
one God worthy to be praised
God is love
love is God
and He's Invincible
lift your troubled soul
lift your weary eyes
lift your broken life
lift them up in the name of the author of faith
effecting and causing
almighty Lord of time and space
who was and is and is to come
one love worthy to be praised!
PHILIPPIANS FOUR THIRTEEN. READ IT! REPEAT IT! LIVE IT!
my mind is racing
my body tense
my logic questions
what should make sense
i live for freedom
i die for peace
but in this prison cell
all slogans cease
tuesday's forgotten
tomorrow comes
moments i've chosen
are silent ones
my memories crashing
against the walls
flavored hysteria
i taste them all
Break addiction
Shake it's hold
Break seduction
Let Him take control
a little trial
condemns me here
eyes filled with terror
i'm stalked by fear
chemical battles
leave scars grotesque
my senses rattle
my hands bereft
my veins are pounding
rhythms of life
my nerves resounding
echoes of ice
i look to heaven
a welcome sight
just around the corner
from tuesday night
you say you'll lift me up
you say you'll cover me
you say you'll fill my cup
before it empties
you say you're never far
you say not far from me
you say that where you are i'll always be
and i believe you
you say that when you love
you love with all your might
you say you trust by faith and not by sight
and i believe ... you
i believe you, i believed you
you said you'd lift me up
you said you'd cover me
you said you'd nurse my cuts
you stare and watch me bleed
your eyes have seen The Glory
but your body's on hold
your lips have kissed The Story
but your story's leaving me cold
sometimes our lives depend
on that which we place faith in
and sometimes faith relies
in Whom we are depending
sometimes our broken hearts
are healed the moment we
Believe Again
Note from inside cover of 'Godspeed':
"Rift was the last song to be recorded for the album Fathom not because
of its adept complexty. Neaither was it because of the endless hours it took
to cross-fade 50 milliseconds of a single loop to try to get rid of an obvious
digital 'glitch'. No, it was a lot more basic than that. Jyro had not finished
the lyrics to the song up until 5 minutes before he had to track vocals! Yet,
it would become the most popular song in Mortal's repertoire, if not the most
remembered."
Extra Note:
Allen Aguirre is the guest vocalist for this song.

I was driving through the inner-city one afternoon and I saw...
people aching desperate streets walking no ghosts here reality
concrete raining merciless bitter
taste feel the chill agony fire no attempt scratch the earth above
the earth life struggle across the tower
outside the structure grotesque no crime no vindication doomed to
fate under thunder skies open you wait for

chosen futile no response from the masses enigma faceless
thousand destiny twisted speeding the process
P e a c e
H o p e
L o v e
J e s u s C h r i s t
prisoners of a genetic disorder eyes so bright in the shadows
fearing tomorrow when sunlight may kill but they have love
millions of people walk the cracks in the streets where we live
why can't we give something they're dying for?

I would die for...

I would live for...
Note from inside cover of 'Godspeed':
"Track 8 from Mortal's full-length debut Lusis always carried a peculiar
power. Especially, live; when the audience and the band were united in chanting
the words, "Peace, Love, Jesus Christ"!"
