1.	Head Down 04:10	lyrics	buy track
It sneaks up on you So insignificant you assume It’s nothing, but it seems It consumes everything Head down, pound the ground Find out what you’re after Then lock on, push beyond Past what doesn’t matter If it doesn’t have a reason Then don’t waste your time But if it makes you come alive Then you should find out why It waits just beyond what you see and feel So subtle but worth the trouble to find out if it’s real To find out “why” in this grand design You can’t hold it in your hand It’s hard to understand Without it, all is vain Does it even have a name? Head down, pound the ground Find out what you’re after Then lock on, push beyond Past what doesn’t matter If it doesn’t have a reason Then don’t waste your time But if it makes you come alive Then you should find out why It waits just beyond what you see and feel So subtle but worth the trouble to find out if it’s real To find out “why” in this grand design
2.	Quickening 05:14	lyrics	buy track
I’ve never been this alive Just a prayer between me and the other side The sun’s shining on my face There is no better place Than at the mercy of amazing grace It’s taking over me So firm beneath my feet And I can’t quite articulate What it is I mean It’s all that I believe It’s all I’ll ever need It is the liberation of The deepest part of me Made alive in the face of death Chest drawing breath but soul at rest Is this the point I’ve heard about I fin’ly figure it out The quickening, the narrow path A yearning for only that which lasts I might not see the end today But when I do I’ll go Your way Now all is well and I am safe It’s never been harder to keep the faith I have so much control I can’t resist the pull To where surrender is beautiful It’s taking over me So firm beneath my feet And I can’t quite articulate What it is I mean It’s all that I believe It’s all I’ll ever need It is the liberation of The deepest part of me Made alive in the face of death Chest drawing breath but soul at rest Is this the point I’ve heard about I fin’ly figure it out The quickening, the narrow path A yearning for only that which lasts I might not see the end today But when I do I’ll go Your way
3.	Never Unsure 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Never unsure, this place is secure With all else to lose it would kill me to lose you In all of these spaces, if it’s not yours come in and take it Never unsure In the moment I hold it too tight it slips away It’s when I let go that I know it’ll be ok And when I lose touch, oh so much, you never fail To call me back to you, yeah you You pull me back, you pull, you pull me back Never unsure, this place is secure With all else to lose it would kill me to lose you In all of these spaces, if it’s not yours come in and take it Never unsure It’s not a case to be argued, at least not to me It’s a fact to attend to, to be believed That’s why it only takes a whisper to remind me that There’s no doubt of what comes next, yeah you You pull me back, you pull, you pull me back
