1.	Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed 05:22	lyrics	buy track
Alas! and did my Savior bleed And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a wretch as I? Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! Alas, my Savior bled. Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker died, For man, the creature’s sin. My sin. My God, why would you shed your blood, so pure and undefiled, to make a sinful one, like me, the Father’s precious child?
2.	Come Ye Sinners 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,  weak and wounded, sick and sore;  Jesus ready stands to save you,  full of pity, love and power. Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,   God’s free bounty glorify;  true belief and true repentance,  every grace that brings you nigh. Come, ye weary, heavy laden,  lost and ruined by the fall;  If you tarry till you’re better,  you will never come at all. Let not conscience make you linger,  not of fitness fondly dream;  all the fitness He requires is to feel your need of Him. View Him prostrate in the garden;   on the ground your Maker lies.  On the bloody tree behold Him;   sinner, will this not suffice? Lo! th’incarnate God ascended,   pleads the merit of His blood:  venture on Him, venture wholly,  let no other trust intrude. Come sinners, come.
3.	Prayer of St. Francis 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, bring faith. Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is despair, give hope; where there is darkness, shine light; where there is sadness, give joy. O Divine, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; and it is in pardoning that we are pardoned. And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
4.	Surrender 03:53	lyrics	buy track
I'm giving You my heart, all that is within,  I lay it all down for the sake of You, my King. I'm giving You my dreams, I’m laying down my rights, I'm giving up my pride for the promise of new life. And I surrender all to You. I'm giving You my heart, I'm waiting at the cross, and all the world holds dear, I count it all as loss for the sake of knowing You, for the glory of Your name, to know the lasting joy, even sharing in Your pain. I surrender all. I'm giving You my heart, all the sin within,  I'm giving up my pride for the promise of new life.

6.	Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus/Hallow's Eve 05:16	lyrics	buy track
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in HIs wonderful face; and the things of this earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glorious face. We will sing songs of Your glory, sing songs of Your glory, we will sing. (forever) (Shine Your light into darkness; show my heart Your peace.) We will sing songs of Your glory sing songs of Your glory, we will sing when we look on Your face.
7.	Winter's Woe 05:52	lyrics	buy track
Weary with groaning, waiting for rest; weighed down moaning, pain in my flesh; seeking relief from death and decay, glory that only fades away. Woe fills this winter waste. (Cold bite of sin, chill of death.) Yearning for spring’s haste. (The day that You return and I will rest.) Lord of Winter hear my cry, send the sun to dry my eyes; cure this frozen, barren land, free my heart from Winter's hand. Grieving my losses; struggle to hope. Tied my own noose with sin's cold rope. Seeking release from sin that enslaves; seeking solace but finding pain. Though I cannot find the way, Your grace sustains. (Hallelujah) Though I cannot see the way, Your Love remains. Though I cannot see the way, Your Love sustains.

All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; 
the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
–Ecclesiastes 1:8
