All My Love 04:00
lyrics
buy track
From the day my selfish heart was formed Or the day I came screaming in the world I try to satisfy myself, but not so well I have an insatiable apatite And I'm still learning to give, I'm learning to give I'm learning to give up my heart to You All my love, all my love, all my love for You Will it ever be true An undivided heart is what I want So I thought, 'til I tried to give up the last part I can see how hard I fought And my will is just not strong enough I have an insatiable apatite And I'm still learning to give, 'm learning to give I'm learning to give up my heart to You All my love, all my love, all my love for You Will it ever be true I have an insatiable apatite that's never full I'm never full without You I have a desperately independent mind learning all the time It's only rest is in You

Feeling Alive 03:19
lyrics

You and I, two different worlds collide All the while, we didn't see the pieces fly I think it's time we put away the guns now Before we blow this whole entire house down Let's start picking up this mess we've made All the fights were nothing when we thought about it But you and I are both really really head strong We never quit but we can't admit if we've got a problem here But it says nothing bad about us if we could admit that We've still got some growing 'cause we're not perfect yet There's a whole lot of trying but we haven't arrived There's a whole lot of dying now we're feeling alive again The time we spent overcoming obstacles Was time that we should have spent getting close Wake up to find, we're really really different now And that's alright because we're coming back some how So take my hand, together take the next step Swallow hard 'cause there's some things we've got to put to death A little pain but there is healing on the other side Once again, we're both feeling alright There's nothing bad about us if we could admit that We've still got some growing 'cause we're not perfect yet There's a whole lot of trying but we haven't arrived There's a whole lot of dying now we're feeling alive again (Repeat) Feeling alive again... I can finally breathe again

Imperfectly In Love 03:41
lyrics
buy track
You are so perfectly the one for me But I can see that you deserve the world And I don't deserve you girl 'Cause I'm like your Achilles heal You step, and I'm the pain you feel So why would you stick around If I'm sure to let you down? You hold your breath and wait How don't you suffocate? When I take your comfort to my pain But I'm the needle in your vain How can I love you when I always seem to hurt you? Why do I do the things I do when I don't try to? And I can't help but wonder will I be Like this much longer anyway How can I be so perfectly imperfectly in love? You are the love that broke the door To this closet in my room I've been hiding away from you 'Cause I didn't want to lose you You're like a window to my soul Everything I am you already know You've got me open wide I'm scared to death tonight I'm trying to get this right but I feel like a parasite How can I love you when I always seem to hurt you? Why do I do the things I do when I don't try to? And I can't help but wonder will I be Like this much longer anyway How can I be so perfectly imperfectly in love? Loving you as best as I can But I can't understand why I can't do better than All the words that I'm learning to say I can't understand without you showing me How can I love you when I always seem to hurt you? Why do I do the things I do? Why can't I stop when I'm about to? 'Cause I'm just trying to love you Come a little closer now I"m sure to let you down Come a little closer now

No More Words 04:42
lyrics

When hearts have no feelings And words have no meaning There's nothing left to say It was all an illusion Your love is so confusing to me And as my world falls like the largest of stars And as I lie under the weight of it all, singing Don't let my heart break Don't let me bones crack My heart feels so weak I can't hold the weight back I won't try to hide How I'm broken inside All the choices you've made Leave me nothing to say And how am I supposed to talk to you When I can't stand to even look at you And what am I supposed to say to you When I can't trust that what you say is true Anymore When hearts have no feelings And words have no meaning There's nothing left to say There was nothing past the surface If it was love than it was worthless to me And as my world falls like the largest of stars And as I lie under the weight of it all, singing Don't let my heart break Don't let me bones crack My heart feels so weak I can't hold the weight back I won't try to hide How I'm broken inside All the choices you've made Leave me nothing to say So I'll try to love and never give up I'll be right here waiting Where we last left off

Cupid's Love Myth 03:25
lyrics
buy track
The way you look at me Makes me feel weak inside I feel so helpless hoping But is this what it means to be alive? My heart is beating faster When you're around You dominate my thoughts I dream about you now My chemicals scream You're coming over me My insides sink But is this everything? If I could fall so hard Would I be falling blind? If I was shot by Cupid's arrow I'd be falling from the sky I wouldn't be so scared If I had the choice If I could choose to love Than I'm choosing us I'm not too naive to believe in Cupid's love myth If I believe it's more than a feeling To love So turn another page And read me aloud Don't let the infatuation die down 'Cause I don't wan't to be a hopeless romantic I'm growing frantic trying to figure this out My heart is beating faster When you're around You dominate my thoughts I dream about you now My chemicals scream You're coming over me My insides sink But is this everything? If I could fall so hard Would I be falling blind? If I was shot by Cupid's arrow I'd be falling from the sky I wouldn't be so scared If I had the choice If I could choose to love Than I'm choosing us I'm not too naive to believe in Cupid's love myth If I believe it's more than a feeling To love If love's a feeling, well than I need a reason Something with meaning Like a verb I choose that's freeing me up To love I'm not giving up I'm not backing down I'm not falling out of love

Way About You 03:21
lyrics

Take a walk together I need a chance to hide away Baby be my mirror And help me to see things A little bit clearer I feel lost in this big world So confused with what I feel I love the way your break through my density And give me a little security You help me to see through All the skins that I could barely even breathe through I'm falling, I'm falling for you Can you feel me 'cause I feel this way about you I love the way you complete me So break away my walls and find me I'm growing, I'm knowing you more If all I see, is this is all that I'll ever be I hold on tight to know this peace You give me strength to find it And I will hold on in the night And I will run to morning You help me to feel through All the skins that I could barely even bleed through I'm falling, I'm falling for you Can you feel me 'cause I feel this way about you You help me to see through All the skins that I could barely even breathe through I'm falling, I'm falling for you Can you feel me 'cause I feel this way about you This way about you This way about you

Why Does Love Hurt? 04:46
lyrics
buy track
She loves him but he's running away from her She stays up waiting but he's not coming home She doesn't believe his lies, but still she waits and waits at night Praying for his angels to arrive, to come save him tonight Is she a fool for love? Why hurt yourself if it isn't worth it all, now? Why does love hurt? Why would she wait? How much more can she take? Why does love burn The heart for the undeserved? Another broken heart claimed Just another broken heart ache So he runs and runs He runs and runs away The only love he's ever had He would throw it all away 'Cause all the love in this whole world Couldn't take his restless heart So he goes and he goes but He doesn't know what he wants Is she a fool for love? Why hurt yourself if it isn't worth it all, now? Why does love hurt? Why would she wait? How much more can she take? Why does love burn The heart for the undeserved? Another broken heart claimed Just another broken heart ache Just another broken heart ache And no one understands her No one comprehends her love But I think somewhere deep inside we know that... This is heaven's song Why does love hurt? Why would you wait? How much more can you take? Why does love burn Your heart for the undeserved? Another broken heart saved (Repeat) Just another broken heart ache Or another broken heart saved

The Atmosphere 03:29

The room is dark but there's a candle light Sparkling in tune Warming up the mood inside The atmosphere is You You're love diffuses everywhere Like the incense in the room Soaking into everything I am breathing you While you're Spirit is the melody Sung softly in my ears And it's drowning out the chaos in my head I'm at rest again Woo, ooo... I'm at rest again Woo, ooo... I'm at peace within Woo, ooo...The atmosphere I'm living in is You You're the light to see the carvings All so intricately carved The sculptor of the art itself And the safety of these walls Your love diffuses everywhere Like the incense in the room Soaking into everything I am breathing You While Your Spirit is the melody Sung softly in my hears And it's drowning out the chaos in my head I'm at rest again Woo, ooo... I'm at rest again Woo, ooo... I'm at peace within Woo, ooo...You're the atmosphere I'm living in Your love diffuses everywhere Like the incense in the room Soaking into everything I am breathing You While Your Spirit is the melody Sung softly in my ears And it's drowning out the chaos in my head I'm at rest again Woo, ooo... I'm at rest again Woo, ooo... I'm at peace within Woo, ooo...The atmosphere I'm living in is You And you keep drowning out the chaos in my head

Disconcerting 02:58
lyrics

This wound goes deep The shank's just a little out of reach There's no pain But I need heeling Standing in the fire, it's not burning Why would I move, if it's not hurting? Is this the mind of the insane? Is my heart so high on morphine? I hate myself but I'm too in love I want to feel the pain but I don't feel enough Nerves are numb my head is dumb Breathing through these tarred lungs, and... It's just a little bit, It's just a little bit It's just a little bit disconcerting It's the pain from the knife That let's me know I'm alive I want to feel empty when I know I'm not full I want to feel broken when I know I'm not whole I hate myself but I'm too in love I want to feel the pain but I don't feel enough My nerves are numb my head is dumb Breathing through these tarred lungs, and... It's just a little bit, It's just a little bit It's just a little bit disconcerting I need Your blood flow through my veins Need Your love to wash me clean I need Your power to heal my soul Need You Lord to make me whole, and... Just a little bit, Just a little bit Just a little bit now I'm hurting Just a little bit, Just a little bit Just a little bit, now I'm burning (Repeat) Just a little bit, Just a little bit Just a little bit's not enough now Just a little bit, Just a little bit Just a little bit's disconcerting

You waited for the right time At the fullness of time Like a falling star come down to the earth With all it's light So high, so holy, you came So far, so lowly, for me And I'm all mixed up now And I'm lost for words now In awe and wonder of You With no reservations You gave up your rights Take the form of a man and die by his hand With all his sin So high, so holy, you came So far, so lowly, for me And I'm all mixed up now And I'm lost for words now In awe and wonder of You At the incarnation At Your sweet salvation When You gave up everything From cradle to grave

Everything I see has fallen short Of everything I want to be What can I ascribe to? What can I attain to? Everything's a little off to me After everything I've broken All the things that I've abused I finally start to notice everything that I've misused I've got these scratches on my skin These wounds are on my heart I'm numb and healing broken now I've got so many scars But there is a love so pure And it's not just out there, somewhere out there It's everything that I want and more It's everything I wish for It comes so close to me And we we touch Everything I know is not enough Apart from all I know you are I need revelation I need restoration Touch me cover who I was 'Cause everything I've broken All the things that I've abused I finally start to notice everything that I've misused I've got these scratches on my skin These wounds are on my heart I'm numb and healing broken now I've got so many scars But You are a love so pure And You're not just out there, somewhere out there You're everything that I want and more You're everything I wish for You come so close to me And we we touch, and we touch, and we touch You touched me for the first time You shine on my with Your light You healed my heart with Your love And now I'm running for the first time Into heaven's first light By grace You touched this heart of mine After everything I've broken All the things that I've abused I finally start to notice everything that I've misused I've got this scratches on my skin You're love is on my heart Alive and healing broken now You've healed so many scars

Are Your eyes on me? 'cause I'm falling apart I'm falling apart Would You hide from me While I lie in the dark? I lie in the dark Are Your eyes on me?

about

Band Name: Healing Broken

The name "Healing Broken" comes out of one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, Psalms chapter 51. In this chapter, David comes face to face with the fact of his sin. He expresses his desperate need for supernatural intervention, to be washed, purged, cleansed, renewed, broken, and reset. He cries out for God to create a clean heart within him. This expression of a broken spirit and a contrite heart is where we all must find ourselves. We must see that we are all damaged goods in desperate need of repair. This "repair" is something that can only come from God. We are the problem, not the solution. Simply speaking, our contribution is not only what got us here, but it would forever keep us here. It is ONLY the work of God that could bring recreation and renewal in our lives. I love David's expression in verse 8: "Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that You have broken rejoice. " This is where I also find joy and gladness - in the work of God in my life. In the broken bones. This is the only place I find healing. This is the reason I am Healing Broken.

Album Name: Portraits About Love
Portraits About Love kind of takes an Ecclesiastes look at love “under the sun”. In other words, while the book of Ecclesiastes sets out to observe life under the sun, this album sets out to observe love under the sun. Although it touches on God’s love that breaks through and touches us, covers us, and reveals to us what true love is, it also takes a look around from a human perspective and observes many of the pictures we see in life. It portrays our imperfect love for God and our fellow man in addition to his perfect love for us.

Portraits About Love intends to touch on things like: the commitment of love that pushes through struggles, and the irony of an imperfect “love” that can be hurtful, and at times, unloving. It deals with forgiveness and willingness to start up again after “love” (which is never supposed to end) seemingly dies, and everything that you thought was real is shattered. It addresses the attitude that love just “happens” and looks at the volition behind all the chemicals and feelings. It observes genuine love that “hurts” because it’s object is completely undeserving or un-reciprocating (a modern “Hosea song” if you will). It wrestles with selfish love (or self-love) and our often inability to overcome it. Finally, It shows the beauty of true love which grows with time and makes us more complete; it is truly a gift. It also gives atmosphere and context to our existence. It is true love that broke into history and revealed the heart of God, as it touches, covers, and changes the heart of man. These are Portraits About Love
