11.) His Eyes (Lyrics!)

His Eyes

VERSE 1:

I'm up early crack of the morning /

Blinded by the light I start yawning / 

The birds humm and the weather's like my life /

Blowing through the seasons the pain and the strife /

How did I get here it's hard to know / 

When you see the big picture then it will show /

That I am being molded by the Father's hand /

So when the wind blows I can take a stand /

A person said that God must not love /

How can He sit up there on the throne above /

And watch His own people just suffer /

When you overcome then your faith gets tougher /

I see my situation through a new eye /

A new lens I'm not just a broke guy /

It's not what you see it's how you see it /

Homeless at the moment but the reason I can see it /

HOOK:

If you could see what I see / You'd have more faith in the unseen /

But you're always so doubtful 'cause you always want it your way /

You need to run my way / I think that I got you, I think that I got you

VERSE 2:

Let me tell you that I am not a perfect man /

A lot of flaws my past I've ran / 

So trapped up I've been living in fear /

Unworthy of the gift for a lifespan /

Against truth I put up a fight /

But everything switched up when I seen the light /

Freedom that is what I felt / that is what I have sin smacked with a belt /

The Father met me like He met Paul /

On my way His grace made me fall /

I know the love even through discipline /

Don't turn away come back listen /

I wanna be like Abraham not Lot /

No doubt just faith when it hit the spot /

When the rain pours hard times I cherish /

Crying out for the people don't want them to perish /

HOOK:
If you could see what I see / You'd have more faith in the unseen /
But you're always so doubtful / 'cause you always want it your way /
You need to run my way / I think that I got you, I think that I got you
'cause you always want it your way /
You need to run my way / I think that I got you, I think that I got you

VERSE 3:

I'm being broken as a child /

Help me from a grown man proud /

My pride has swelled up Kill it /

Depend on the Father not independent /

I can't live life on my own /

And this is what I've been shown /

Where's your hope He's the prize /

Trust Him and see through His eyes

HOOK:
If you could see what I see / You'd have more faith in the unseen /
But you're always so doubtful / 'cause you always want it your way /
You need to run my way / I think that I got you, I think that I got you
'cause you always want it your way /

You need to run my way / I think that I got you, I think that I got you

10.) Grace The Cup (Lyrics)

                                                                        Grace (The Cup)

And He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. The Father made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
This passage reveals to us the substitutionary act that had to happen for us to receive God's righteousness. I cannot even begin to understand what it means that Jesus, who was fully God, perfect and holy, could become sin, but that is what Scripture says. He became who we were so that we could become who He is.This was Jesus' cup. He was in such agony at this prospect that His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. Because sin is easy and natural for us, we cannot begin to understand what He went through. The perfect and holy son of God was agonizing over the thought of becoming sin and being separated from the Father. Yet Jesus loved us so much that He was willing to be our substitute and become sin - everything that was opposite of His nature. Perhaps one way to understand, to a small degree, is to take some attributes of Jesus and consider their opposites.
We know that Jesus is love.  Yet on that cross He experienced complete, consuming hatred. He was despised and rejected.
Jesus is the Light of the World, yet on that cross He experienced total darkness, a lack of understanding, and everything associated with sin and evil.
Scripture tells us that Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Yet on that cross, the exact opposite of peace consumed Him: total frustration, anxiety, fear, hopelessness, desperation.
Jesus Christ is Truth. Yet on that cross everything became confusing, inconsistent, and illogical. Nothing made sense.
Jesus said I am the Bread of Life. Yet on that cross He experienced emotional and spiritual hunger: longing, craving, yearning, complete dissatisfaction.
And Jesus said I am the Way. Yet on that cross He felt frustratingly lost, with no direction. He was uncertain, perplexed, bewildered, full of doubts, empty, and confused.
Christ is our security, yet on that cross He was consumed with fear, insecurity, and overwhelming loneliness. We all have felt lonely at times, but He was lonely to a degree we cannot even imagine. Jesus Christ who had experienced the completeness of a perfect relationship within the Trinity, was now totally forsaken and alone.
Jesus Christ is mercy. In becoming sin for us, He suffered the ultimate in abuse, oppression, and torture.  Any cruelty ever devised or imagined by man, He endured on the cross.
And Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is just. Yet on that cross He endured unfairness, corruption, dishonesty, and all the emotions that go along with receiving unjust treatment. If the Roman trial had been handled fairly, Christ would have been set free. He did not deserve the cross, but He wanted to be there because He chose to stand in our place. Isaiah said He was like a lamb led to the slaughter, not uttering a sound. Perhaps Jesus was silent on the cross because had He even hinted for help, all of heaven would have responded.
On the cross Jesus endured incredible pain. Crucifixion was a brutal means of execution, deliberately slow and painful. Every joint was pulled out of its socket from the weight of the body. Jesus' physical pain and death fulfilled prophesy and were part of God's plan to bring us salvation. But more important than His physical death was that Jesus died spiritually when He was separated from His Father.  His physical pain on the cross is a stark visual picture that helps us understand, to a small degree, the dreadfulness of spiritual death. One purpose for the pain we personally experience may be to give us a glimpse of what He went through on the cross as He died for us, both physically and spiritually. Our pain should remind us of His great love for us.
While taking our place on the cross, Jesus, because of His complete separation from His Father, cried, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? This is the only time Jesus ever called His Father "God," because at this point God was not in the role of Father, but of righteous judge. As judge, He placed in Jesus the sins of every one of us (Me You) every sin and act of rebellion we have ever committed or ever will commit. Because Jesus Christ on the cross called His Father "God," we can now call God our "Father." What amazing grace!

08.) Jordan Copas - Hear Me (Lyrics)

HEAR ME

VERSE 1:

Daddy you was never there when I called but you was always there to just beat me down

Happy face is just such a fraud I couldn't count on you when I was about to drown

Anger raging everywhere hands around moms neck up in the air 

Never coming back like you don't care I was screaming out God man this ain't fair

Come to the hood and bring revival to the hearts of the dead men breathing

Set a fire upon my heart Lord we done with the devil's scheming

Oppression taking your people down Fresh wind come and bring a new sound

Victory is in your name Lord you hear the cries and we need you now

You're alive and we need you now We need you now and you know this Lord

Lord you are God of everything and you bring your people on one accord

I trust in you cause you gave me hope you gave Copas a way to cope 

I sunk down but I stayed afloat because you dove in and gave me hope

We live in the days of division gossiping and throwing stones

We drowning in the sea of sin bottom of the ocean davy jones

Now I gotta finish this verse off real with a shout out to my dad

Don't really know you I forgive you I love you and I ain't mad

HOOK:

Can you hear me .. Hear me .. Calling your name

We struggling right now dear Lord we crying out to see your face

We struggling right now dear Lord we crying out to see your face

THE VALLEY

INTRO:

Ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil For you are with me Your rod and your staff they comfort me You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies You anoint my head with oil My cup runs over Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

VERSE 1:

Ima never forget the day that I seen you dead

City streets running red from the blood that you bled

Tears came down my cheeks cause I knew you were gone

That's my family homie this is more than a song

I got the black hoodie on it's time to mourn can you hear the cries

From the family who is heartbroken Jenny just died

It's hard to take all the pain when your loved ones getting shot down

We be looking for that justice and I hope we get it right now

Best believe it dawg it's tough when you see your mother floored

Aint no sunshine coming down only rain and yes it poured

Kim it's hard that youre gone Uncle Mike we miss you

and little Majic is dead this is such a big issue

So many people had left I felt numb to the death

The wind it hit my chest it was cold and took my breath

I'm crying out cause I need you I come as a broken man

I've tried to be strong a warrior I'm doing all that I can

HOOK:

Were crying out Were so thirsty

We need your grace We need your mercy

It's pouring down It's raining hard

Through the valley We need you God

Though we walk through the valley We never scared

Though we walk through the valley You hear the prayers

Though we walk through the valley You can see us

Though we walk through the valley You are there

VERSE 2:

I've been living here in this hell hole where the dark knight comes at your soul

Guard your heart give it to God and don't let satan take control

You can ask my brother Mike You can ask my homie Deshawn 

You can ask my mentor Chris They've all been broken beat on

But you overcome with the blood of Christ through Him get the victory

There is nothing that you can do on your own to be set free

Free from the bondage of your sin free from the worldy ways

Free from the lust and the pride of life it's a fight every single day

And I want you to be saved I want my family free

I would like to see them sky high soaring over them seas

Overcoming the storm gliding over the mountains

Get cleaned up at the well of life and then drink from the Father's fountain

Tearing up will be no more say good bye to the night

There will be no need for the sun cause we all gunna be in that light

Dear Lord I give you my family I don't think they understand

You have the power to change this man I've seen the work of your hand

HOOK:

Were crying out Were so thirsty

We need your grace We need your mercy

It's pouring down It's raining hard

Through the valley We need you God

Though we walk through the valley We never scared

Though we walk through the valley You hear the prayers

Though we walk through the valley You can see us

Though we walk through the valley You are there

VERSE 3:

Ye though I walk through the valley 

I will fear no evil that comes for me

because you are by my side

I could always count on you to be down to ride

While I was on the streets committing felonies

You seen past the dirt and all the sin in me

and though it's been hard to see that you are there

When we cry out your name Lord you hear the prayers We need you

BRIDGE:

Ye though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death Lord We will fear no evil (4X)

VERSE 1:

People searching for a lover 

Keep me in the depths and teach me to go lower

I wanna be like you so i gotta serve my brother

My heart goes out to my sister my heart goes out to my mother

There's a consuming fire flaming on my heart

It's kinda like a seal and I hope it never departs

please stay with me I don't wanna face this alone

There is nothing that can stop it every seed is now sown

I know of a love that is stronger than the death

That tried to kill my family and take my mothers breath

the cries continue to echo from a little youth

you can see it in her eyes and the scars are living proof

that you are being abused It may seem like no one loves you

The pain runs deep I know who you can turn to

and He is moved by the sound of your cries

Lift up your voice He will give you doves eyes just a matter of time

HOOK:

I CAN FEEL THE FIRE I CAN FEEL THE FLAMES

VERSE 2:

Through the fire you may go

How long will you be there I may never know

so step into His garden little Nevaeh you will grow

Live from the inside out in His presence you will glow

Uncle Jordan is a fighter climbing up to Zion

feasting on affliction and I'm roaring like a lion

If you find yourself slipping when you been trying

Persevere until the end because we gonna end up flying

and life is not a fairy tale no castles in the sand

a prince may never save you but my God will take your hand

He will guide you through the dark Lead you towards the light

When you're crying by your bed He'll be with you in the night

Even when you're all alone shaking in your skin

His love's a burning flame and He wants you all for Him

It may seem odd that God refines in the fire

Even Jesus felt the flames then got elevated higher He's with you

HOOK:

I CAN FEEL THE FIRE I CAN FEEL THE FLAMES

GOING THROUGH MY BODY RUNNING ALL THROUGHOUT MY VEINS

I CAN FEEL THE FIRE RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS

RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS

He met me up in that cell block and now I'm fired up and on focus.

Seeing mankind, as a land mine, so got a grand sign so don't ruin out worth /

Now I'm protected, souls resurrected /

When the chaos of life gets hectic /

He is my healer, provider and medic /

I confess it, in the Bible I read it /

Nothing will conquer me, nothing will take me over /

Cause I stand on the Word of God and my Jehovah /

My living King (sigh) He offers living springs / 

He is supreme, and we esteem, His love over everything /

Never have I seen the righteous forsaken /

Now it's time for us to awaken /

History shaking, and God will come through no matter what we are facing /

Nobody compares to you, so you deserve the crown /

VERSE 1:

history is in the making straight from the block ayo we don't stop 
we driven by the love within no matter what we do we win 
we got the victory more than conquerors, , , now we going in 
say no to the flesh when the lust rise up and a dime says smack my butt 
i get made fun of but i ain't turning back no matter what 
i gotta lay it down i ain't strong enough and the fight just gets too hard 
but i kick flip this track and i live as a king and stand on guard 
i long board with these kids and i walk a day in they shoes 
i fell down and got scraped up but i get back up and chose 
to live another day and serve the one who gave me life and freedom 
a felon of a past but its been forgotten cant wait till the day i seen him

VERSE 1: 
black hip hop what they told me white boy better get up out 
on the come up as a young buck i was color blind man no doubt 
embraced by the streets and the hood life dont call me the average joe 
white boy with the flow and the fro in the middle of the school with a basketball 
he could do his thing yeah the boy had game but he got made fun of bad 
misunderstood he wanted to be good life beat him down and hes sad 
so young with the pressures pilling up he aint have what the others had 
new shoes nice clothes and all the cool stuff and he really missed out on dad 
can you hear the cries from the forgotten ones who been through the pain and strife 
they walk alone and they dont talk much some of them may take they life 
thats where im from and thats who i be thats why i can point them out 
be the voice for the ones who dont talk on the mountaintop i shout 
deliver us freedom where you at these people dont know whats next

VERSE 2: 
i can see the sign i can hear the voice calling my name in the pitch dark 
when im all alone and the noise is off i find myself trying to find the mark 
the bullseye is what i want to hit but deep down inside im a failure 
gotta rise above stand up dont sit ima warrior you a player 
playing these games with the peoples minds you mess them up and they get hurt 
ima fight ima push kick and punch in the battlefield without my shirt 
its blood stained and got ripped up my mind is the biggest enemy 
pride swells up and i hold a grudge rage ran over humility 
God bless your soul get your mind straight i dont wanna be rich own estates 
Lord take my hate i dont wanna be left out them pearly gates 
ive been told to settle down but it aint in my comfort zone 
i get around like tupac shakur moving like a man with no home 
i gotta remember sweet cindy yeah she helped me a ton 
last words she told me i love you stay out of trouble son 
her and the family took me in when i had no where to go

VERSE 3: 
love is so good it reminds me of that day that i fell down on the street 
car broke down i was so drunk and i stumbled up into calvary 
i was so gone i was so lost but i left that place up on my feet 
love was given to an unloved man now i spread it up on this beat 
like rain pouring over your head some days gunna be hard to see the sun 
when it hits the fan you gotta lay it down you aint the only one 
like granny said with tears coming down its gonna be alright 
keep your head to the sky and trust in god he'll bring you through the night 
running this race against the grain oh my lord i can feel the pain 
i been on my grizzy grind sprinting this track im the train 
a wreck of a mess you see me swat away lust you go flee 
step it up be a man toughen up you be 
a doulos a servant you go out and earn it 
work hard go out and make relationships its urgent 
these rappers they be faking these people has been taken 
but my faith in the Lord is unstoppable never shaken
