In Your Hands 05:21
lyrics

J. Han: I want Shalom; peace for my soul. Joy for the moments when I’m feeling like a drone. Strength every morning when I’m sipping on a Joe. Serenity to follow The Way even when it’s cold and seems to be growing a cove around me; anxiety is pounding cause I’ve hidden these cobras for too long -- it’s astounding. They’re biting me, slowly numbing out the voice of reason. But was it really me who let these snakes leave a lesion? In the light, you’ll see the plight of its shame. My guilt refuses to look at it face-to-face that mirror, tell me what you see, you coward. Man-up to your problems cause you’re losing power to stand eye-to-eye with your skeletons and declare “you no longer hold the detonator to the snare!” Hallelujah! Once again, dust the mire off your chest Get up, put your robe on, then enter in His rest. Yes! Hook: You are my life for all that I have is in Your hands You breathed in me life out of dust and sand and here I stand astounded by this love What do I have to fear? For I am an heir to Your glorious fame so let everything that I am proclaim no other name, King Jesus, precious Lord I live for you Sam: It says it there in Phillipians 1:6 That He began a good work and He will finish it But many times I wonder what I’m really doing Whether it is success or Jesus I’m pursuing ‘Cause I feel pride like a hungry mad dog Ready to pounce on any praise for my songs But Lord, wasn’t it you who wrote my melody You wrote the symphony of life, even the end of me! So even when I’m doubting who You are and what I see I’ll look into Your Word and trust your perfect sovereignty For many times I know my fickle heart will run astray But still in You I’ll trust and I’ll pray… CL: Life’s a crazy cycle, always switching gears While the road aheads a mystery, foreign in its tiers Fears of Fatherhood, could never be so clear Having no control over what happens to my dear All I can do is pray, raise her up, Ephesians 6 My act of worship as a father, lead discipleship My act of worship as a husband, take initiative (Eph. 5:23) Lead my home with a sacrificial love relationship (Eph. 5:25-27) Miss the ministry and leadership serving the local church But if I’m not leading my home, can’t be trusted with a herd (1 Tim. 3:1-5) Many times we set to serve in extravagant ways Is it why discipleship is missing in the home today? Don’t wanna be the man; neglecting his family Christian first, husband, father, then it’s the ministry Praying for healthy homes, godly marriages and parents To help build up the church where this need is so apparent

J.Han: We’re all in it; no turning back; We out here! it’s kinda wack how some rowdy cats talk about the Law and the Word like it’s just an almanac. I’m like NAH, Sorry! This life is like a safari. I was fishing for my purpose in a pool of calamari. But it fell short; well, it’s alright. cause it shaped me; crazy how my past woes and my daft goals were woven into this all white robe I wear in His courts, yo. Perhaps the color is purple cause I was deemed as royalty when Christ rose from that dirt, bro. [Ugh] even if nobody goes with me, I’ll still choose to follow The Way that, amazingly, saved my act like claps at the Apollo. Bravo! Bravo! There is no one like Him! I’ll shout it at the rooftops ‘til my voice sounds like a bison. [wut?] Dad says I need to get serious and start working a real job. You think I like to get jeered and mocked, just to hear the scoffs of Korean moms? Each harsh word that I hear stings, burning deeper with each bite. Regardless of what comes my way, there ain’t nothin’ better than this ride. Hook: Listen to the sound Of His glory and renown ‘Cause there is no better life than this To be living for the King Lord to give You everything There is no better life than this! Sam: Foolish (huh?), you tell me that i’m foolish?! ‘cause i got Living Water in my tool kit?! ‘cause i got a peace that’ll never cease, you want to tell me that i got to make an arguement & prove it?! Who’s with me, all of the saints living in Spirit and seeking true faith giving their life for the Gospel and spreading a love and a joy like a rock that won’t shake! I’m talking ‘bout discipline, takin’ every temptation, we killin’ em and even when i might FALL, my worth is not my work but my Christ and he took it all! I feast in that true LOVE true vulnerability in truth, cuz! forgiven when I once was cursed ain’t nothing better than a life that works! i see a world that is broken whether sex, money, drugs, or a red pen i see the lovesick sick to their stomach and they’re reaching out to anything but His plan but it’s a plan for the best real worth, no hole in your chest given real identity as a son, a daughter in the courts of the King, rest! we’re living out that world view to bring shalom, restoration, make the world new! a steadfast love, all the saints we’re living proof ain’t nothing better than to say that Jesus is the truth! [Hook] CL: This life’s a battlefield, good and evil, but the war is won, living in the sequel King Jesus reigns Supreme, no one equal, we stand in victory, soar like eagles But the journey’s tough, no room for barrows, hard to walk and balance on a path that’s narrow Marching home, clean the trenches, with a heart of fire and a will relentless What fear of death is left for those, last breath we know, just another door Enter paradise, with our King and Lord, YOLO, naw homie wrong way to go We live eternal, don’t follow crowds, with our mind on heaven, guess our head in clouds We live it loud, proud, unashamed, no self-promotion, just rep the King! Aliens and foreigners, dying daily but no need for no coroners We ain’t promised easy, or drama ceasing, but suffering builds the heart, believe me Repaying bad with good, love our enemies, paradox to the world we’re living in Saints are marching in, demons scattering, Jesus name got the cages rattling

Sam: Blind man came to me, gave me little figurines, mud pies, telling me they’re jewels, but I see the beach a holiday at sea, yet I feel the pull of flesh telling me that mud pies, filthy rags are really best my tongue tastes sweetness but then the bitter it bites back, weakness make my blood thinner the narrow path is hidden in this valley of bones dried up, but i see the breath of God give me hope the same breath in the Word, also in me filling me with truth, that the world cannot see if it’s true then every love-sick soul around suffocating every single minute in their own sound their own song, their own screams, their own lies every part of life muted by the devil screaming “DIE!” so as You spit in mud to give the blind man sight give me love to love the love-lost in this fight Hook: He’s reaching down through the stars to the broken and the proud (Can you see it?) He’s got a song for your heart Singing through the ones who live out loud (Can you hear it!?!?!?!?!) CL: What do we value, what’s guiding the culture If everyone’s worshiping something, what’s the object we float to Destination steering ships, navigating through storms cuz Attainable rewards seem worth giving our lives for But many wash ashore to empty, barren endeavors Saddest moment s’when obtained desires doesn’t deliver Crazy how we determine the value for material items And end up chasin’em to find we define ourselves by’em Ironic self-defeating worth got us stuck in these cycles Placing hope in idols we created, hopeless disciple Blindly follows wishful thinking as the road becomes wider Left alone on his journey to acquire desires Tragic story however, this the truth of the culture If the ones who see don’t guide the blind, they’re food for the vultures We weren’t saved to sit and decorate the walls of the church But to bring The Message that revives the dead to new birth [Hook] J. Han: I see an army of troops marching down the boulevard strutting to the rhythm of the same drum; going hard with the boom chicka, boom bap; in just a flicker any one of them will jump at you with trigger-happy-fingers pointed at you, ready to strike; if you bad mouth their master, you got yourself a fight for the night. But you can’t see them; well, they cannot even see themselves. Lost in an image that they found when they were twelve. Silly ain’t it? But at least they’re feeling something though Yearning for attention, recognition, something visible; physical assurance; bro, they need someone to tell ‘em it will be okay, not just tokens of their venom handed to them; building bridges with the felons of the town, People looking at me funny; who’re those fellas you’re around? Maybe I am out of place; but I was in their shoes. Hope to point ‘em to The Grace that saved this wretched fool.

Sam: Lord, do you even listen? Maybe you’re not there? Why’s everything against me? Maybe you don’t care? I am a wretch, I am a worm I am addicted to these germs Infecting my own heart See it’s torn apart... CL: Chased the world filled with empty promises Left abandoned, stripped of confidence Ashamed in failure, remain anonymous Hitting rock bottom but it seems it’s bottomless Emotional state in disbelief Job, finances, house, swept from under me 20 G’s a month to a Chapter 7 Drowning in the sorrows of my Great Depression Washed ashore by waves of mercy Beaten, battered, broken, thirsty Hungry, weak, torn, filthy, dirty What would Holy want with something so unworthy But You picked me up, cleansed, renewed me Eyes were blind, restored my viewing To see Your Word pierce a heart of concrete Raising life through the cracks of my defeat Hook: I will trust in You When all my world around may crash and burn I will trust in You I’m trusting in Your promise and Your Word J. Han: I mostly wander the road; for this life is all I know; pain, betrayal, and disappointments; hard to call my house my home. Sojourner is now my nature I can feel fatigue in my bones. Loneliness is my companion and trust a detested foe. I hate being misunderstood, forsaken, and on my own. Left in my mind to wallow and fight with his heart of stone. I just want my voice to be heard Truly, I just want to be known. Wanna feel the warmth of affection. Wanna see that I’m not alone. Sam: Lord, i know that you listen i know that you’re there for the cross and your affliction was to show you care up there you hung and their you cried in you the wrath was satisfied and arms spread wide you loved me arms spread wide, you loved me! Hook: I will trust in You When all my world around may crash and burn I will trust in You I’m trusting in Your promise and Your Word End Sam: Lord, i will give you the pen to my soul write me in your story for in you i am whole so i will trust in you when all the sands of life have washed away i will trust in you so promise me your love which never fades

J. Han: As I survey the horizon, I see the manna. The Sovereign One’s provision for the doubters; it’s a banner for the people who’ve been down and finding it harder to stand-up. Fear is dangling over your head like sledge hammers. (ah) Disbelief has started becoming a close friend. We’ve been trudging on this beaten path with no end. Will this locked and closed door ever open? All this toiling and perseverance is really getting old, man. It’s difficult to trust when Your every pen stroke’s writing a check I can’t cash, man I’m dead broke. What are you making? It looks like a bunch of madness I can’t decipher what you’re painting on this tattered canvas. This little mind of mine’s wishing to resign. Yet each move of Your brush is poetry -- so divine My fickle heart is desperately trusting in every sweep, hoping the final product turns out as a masterpiece. Hook: I will give you glory for no greater prize than to see Your kingdom come O ruler of my life I am Yours CL: I say I live for Your glory, I submit to Your will Raise my hands during worship, don’t conform to the world But when I meditate upon Your truth, I’m stricken again Do I really glorify You or seek the glory of men How concerned am I about the church and those who don’t know You When comfort determines obedience, can I say that I’m loyal? Denying preferences don’t equal death to myself When did discomfort defined what’s meant to carry the cross? How weak and meager are men, unworthy in view of the truth You are holy and righteous, there is nobody like You Who’s in need of nothing, yet changes the hearts of the wicked Not ‘cause You long for love, but love Your Son and rejoice in repentance Why'd You die, saving sinners from the wrath we deserve? Help me understand this crazy love relayed in Your Word Be compelled for Your glory, no longer seeking my kingdom I am Yours for Your will, to You I pledge my allegiance Hook: I will give you glory for no greater prize than to see Your kingdom come O ruler of my life I am Yours Sam: There is no greater satisfaction There is no quintessential joy Than knowing that I’m made for glory To love the everlasting LORD Let me shout it out...EVERYTHING WILL FADE! Every tower, every brick that you’ve gone and laid Any currency, and any white picket dream Any sickness you’re afflicted with & every scheme For the finitude of man feels the infinite The limited edition human craves the limitless There is no better bliss, Jesus help my unbelief Tune my heart to sing with saints your kingdom song to never cease!

CL: Lord, forgive me before I write this track Many words I’ve written, many have been listening But in the midst of it all, when You look at my walk Feel like a hypocrite and not a Christian Undeserving grace, love without condition I don’t understand the desire to take it upon Yourself Paying my mistakes, stand in my position Bearing all the pain that I would no longer be missing Amazing grace that saved a wretch like me I was lost, now I’m found Twas grace that led me here and I know that it’s grace that’ll lead me home So I cling to Your garments, dragged by Your mercy Desperate indeed, cuz I know I’m unworthy Feed me the scraps, I’ll take what You give me Just wanna be with my Father who saved me! Hook: **what a glorious melody To sing my savior's song What a gift, eternity To praise you now & evermore! J. Han: Getting tired of all of this small talk. I think I need to retreat from this crowd. Draw the deep waters out of my soul. These buckets haven’t fetched in a while. Shots of fun pale in comparison to the pails of joy from His nile, everlasting, never ending, and it keeps flowing on and on for miles. Please stir my fickle affections they are prone to mix with the guile and stupid antics of my heart; mind wanders into the vile labyrinth of my pride and envy desiring to win my own renown. and Yet You still call me Your child. Holding me near and embracing with smiles. (wow) Sam: I am given a robe washed in blood A symbol of love and of sacrifice My heart, so calloused and cold Regarded as gold from the fire By the streams of the blood From your hands, from your feet From crown on your head To the very last beat of your heart What a joy, what amazing love, your love Hook: **what a glorious melody To sing my savior's song What a gift, eternity To praise you now & evermore! Sam (End): i’ll let go of things i’ve gone and done of things i’ve lost and won of battles with my guilt and filthy shame i’ll let go of times i’ve lingered on of times still yet to come of any worthless moment void of You i’ll let go of places and these things for death has lost its sting and victory is given with Your Word i’ll let go of hatred and my pain of all the things i’ve stained i’ll give them up to wash them in Your blood i’ll let go of ordinary days of my own man-made ways i’ll walk the path You light for me in faith i’ll let go of family and of friends of any mean or end that keeps me from the presence of my God I’ll let go of everything I’ve known of everything I own of everything that keeps me from your heart I’ll let go of every single thought of every single word of every single moment in this life for i am made for never ending glory for i am made alive in your great story

about

Every transition we experience in life comes with unknown roads, untaken paths, and uncharted territories. Whether it’s a recent college grad concerned about his uncertain future, or a new parent wondering how to bring a precious but vulnerable little child into a scary world, each transition brings its own share of fear and anxiety to whoever is going through it.

Transitions also stretch and challenge us in ways we never imagined. AMP knows this well, because they’re going through those exact things. J.Han and Sam Ock are those college grads. CL is that new father. These are all brand new experiences they are dealing with, but it’s through these transitions that they've been able to realize something amazing.
