Dalton Ave.

Long Wick, Slow Flame

Glorious

And if I sing out in the dark of night

Or praise you in the light of dawn

Hear my song and lift me on your wings

And if I worship you in solitude

Or join a choir 10,000 strong

Hear my song ’till all creation sings

Glorious, shining so glorious

Though I stumble, though I fall

You remain Glorious

Towards your light

I come running, I come running

Into Your arms

I come running, I come running

You have searched me, You have known my heart

You’ve heard my every anxious thought

Hear my song, it’s all I have to bring

And though the battle’s come, this much is known

Victory’s won by You alone

Hear my song my Saviour and my King

Glorious

Shining so glorious

Though I stumble, though I fall

You remain glorious

Towards Your light

I come running, I come running

Into Your arms

I come running, I come running

Every faithless mission

every false ambition

Here I lay them at Your feet

As in heaven, as on earth

I will ever sing Your worth

You alone make me complete

Glorious

Shining so glorious

Though I stumble, though I fall

You remain glorious

Towards Your light

I come running, I come running

Into Your arms

I come running, I come running

Heaven Come My Way

I’ve always aimed higher, don’t let me off the hook
We wrote a chapter, haven’t finished the book
The high road’s the hard one, but doesn’t it feel right?

I wish I didn’t have to leave, but that doesn’t mean I’ll stay
I’ve heard the call, and I’ll answer anyway

Heaven come my way, come my way
I’ll go through the storm, if I can hear you say
Help is on the way, on the way

It can’t be that far, take me to the stars
You brought me this far, don’t bid me farewell
Give me the courage to finish it well
Keep my feet moving forward and my eyes above

Heaven come my way, come my way
I’ll go through the storm, if I can hear you say
Help is on the way, on the way
It can’t be that far, take me to the stars

Take me, take me where you are
Take me, take me to the stars
Take me, take me where you are

Heaven come my way, come my way
I’ll go through the storm, if I can hear you say
To the stars
Oh, where you are
To the stars
Oh, take me home where you are
To the stars
Heaven come my way
Heaven come my way

Break My Fall

My coat is warm it shields me from the chill
Empty swings and i see couples kissing
Walk the path that leads back to the house
It’s time for bed, “Goodnight my love” she said

Break my fall today

I lack the strength it takes

To be invincible

From this earthly toll

So many falls to break

Please show me what it takes

To be immovable

When my spirit shakes

Drive back home is this the same old road
I’ve seen those trees but never quite so clearly
Circumstance will change the way we see
This won’t last i’m not alone

Break my fall today

I lack the strength it takes

To be invincible

From this earthly toll

So many falls to break

Please show me what it takes

To be immovable

 

I know I don’t deserve the light you bring, but You still shine down on me

I know I don’t deserve the light you bring, but He still shines down on me

 

So break my fall today

I lack the strength it takes

To be invincible

From this earthly toll

So many falls to break

Please show me what it takes

To be immovable

When my spirit shakes

Lock On A Chain

I put a lock on a chain, on a chain, on my heart

Gonna hold this mess together till I find the missing parts

I came broken when they made me I’ll be broken when I go

A dozen rusty sprockets where I thought I had a soul

Oh no, oh no, oh no

I wear a mask on a mask on a mask on my face

So I’m not afraid to tell you all exactly what I think

We dress the truth up with lies and then play it on repeat

Skips into our minds and poisons all our dreams

Oh no, oh no, oh no

I shone a light on a light on a light in the dark

And where I thought we ended was another chance to start

Now I’m restless for the future while I’m shackled to the past

And what was endless pain is now a kind of love that lasts

Oh no, oh no, oh no

But If Not

If today brings only pain and sorrow
And my heart says there’ll be no tomorrow
I’ll lift my hands to You
and ask with my small voice
That You would come to save me
I know it’s Your choice

But if not

I’ll still call You Father
I’ll still call You Lord
And I’ll still sing Your praise forever
No matter what life brings

If the day brings only persecution
For giving You my life and my heart to Your Son
If tonight my eyes close and I am alone
I’ll ask You to comfort me;
ask You to send Your angels down

But if not

I’ll still call You Father
I’ll still call You Lord
and I’ll still sing Your praise forever
No matter what life brings

- Jon Klinepeter (2000)
