I Can
Skillet - Skillet © 1997
Looking on the sad times, the guilt and all the shame I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains All of the grief I have learned to set aside Cause I am I am I am I am Feeling underooted, feeling undermined Can this grace of God cover me this time? And when I feel the pain I know why I feel strange And when I hear the rooster crow, I am ashamed Jesus on the cross and this cross upon my back I have learned to submit then I whine about my lack Sometimes I drop my cross, deserve a little rest That's when I run to You and I nail Your feet and Your wrist I'm feeling underooted, feeling undermined Can this grace of God cover me this time? And when I feel the pain I know why I feel strange And when I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed And when I feel the pain I know why I feel strange And when I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed And do You really know my soul even after I hated You? And do you really know my name, can I really come to You? And are You really more faithful than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun? And do You really know my name, can I really come to You I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I don't care If the rooster crows, if the rooster crows If the rooster crows, if the rooster crows (I can)
Gasoline

I'm sitting with my heart out on the table I'm doing a face to face with God He picked up my heat and said, What you want me to do with this? I just blinked my eyes no smile, no laugh, no tears No shrugging my shoulders It crossed my mind, Yeah I got an idea You could take my heart and put it in a padlocked box What if they grab too hard or smash it, or throw it down I'm scared of being hurt, I just want to live, live a happy life! You want to, you want to Soak my heart in gasoline Light a match and consume me Soak my pride in gasoline all of you and none of me I was reminded my heart reeks of gasoline It bears the mark of a slave committed to life Anyone who wants it Will have to grab it from a real big God try to touch me, You'll be consumed, youíll be consumed I want to, I want to I'm sitting here with my heart out on the table Next to a bloody mess that was once a man's heart I looked at God and said, What do you want me to do with this? He said, Already done, already done, that heart was Jesus

I ask Him When will I Be free, He Said I am Asking Him When will I Change, He said No matter now No matter now Saturn has a ring around it You can never see it with your eyes Saturn has a ring around it Many moons know this to be true You ask Him How can You Be real, He Said you'll be Knowing Him How you do Now He says Rest in this Rest in this Saturn has a ring around it You can never see it with your eyes Saturn has a ring around it Many moons know this to be true (Instrumental interlude) Saturn has a ring around it But you can never see it with your eyes Saturn has a ring around it Many moons know this to be Saturn has a ring around it But you can never see it with your eyes Saturn has a ring around it Many moons know this to be Heaven has a ring around it The angels sing a song over you Heaven has a ring around you If you don't see it, know that it's true Heaven has a ring around it The angels sing a song over you Heaven has a ring around you If you don't see it, know that it's true If you don't see it, know that it's true (6 times)
My Beautiful Rose
Skillet - Skillet © 1997
I want to pleasure in your sight I want to subscribe to your delight So hold on and see what I do for you Oh by the way, did you see me dressed in my beautiful robe? My head was bleeding so red But all the thorns in my crown, the rose blended Instead with my beautiful robe carries on, I'll carry on I cut down a tree said, Man would you look at me I stuck my head in a thorn bush Man I was deceived Oh my brother, Your hands are full of sores But God blessed you brother, My nails are longer than yours I was crucified with Christ But how come I'm not dead God gave me a cross But I made my own instead My beautiful carries on, Iâll carry on I cut down the tree, I nailed myself to the wood I screamed in agony, Cause the glory wasnât so good I fell to my knees and I remember The words of God pierced so hard, Your righteousness is like filthy rags And I fell to my knees and said, My filthy robe

When I was a young boy Saw a vision of your face I made my first promise to you Yeah ya know it took some time But I love you now I realize I am the promise maker I am the promise breaker On the road to faithfulness I sometimes forget your name But I can still see your face And time after time I hear you calling my name I gotta name for me I gotta name for me I gotta name for me I gotta name I am the promise maker I am the promise breaker On my knees for the last time I could rip my heart out everyday I made my last promise to you Yeah I could cry I could cry A million tears a day And all I would hear you All I would hear you say Is you are the promise taker You are the promise taker You are the promise taker Put them in your promise blender You took me And you own me And you bought me and you love me Promise keeper, keeper, keeper
Paint
Skillet - Skillet © 1997
We take a walk in the garden We share the fruits of life We live beneath this canopy Why did we take that bite? We cover up our shame We walk in black and white We turn this ground for hunger Why did we take that bite? Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me Paint me open eyes, Paint me with the color of love You took a walk on the planet You gave us shad and light You create mood and substance How can I can take a bite? Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me Paint me open eyes, Paint me with the color of love Paint me, mark me up, In these frail, dot-to-dot lines Color me from one red stream From which all others flow Take my black and white and yellow Brown and pink and pain and sorrow Take my black and white and yellow Brown and pink and hate and sorrow Paint me with an endless sunrise, Paint me Paint me open eyes, Paint me with the color of love
Safe With You
Skillet - Skillet © 1997
Learning inside I will be safe with you tonight You cause the smile And the teardrops in my eyes Locked inside your every movement Will I stand or will I fall? Trapped inside of your walls of glory I am just as dead leaves fall Safe with you Safe with you Chaos in my head The whole universe is at rest When I'm in your arms Is when I feel the best Locked inside your creative being Whirling about your unfailing truth Attacked with power by ferocious love Salvation alone belongs to you Safe with you Safe with you Lifting up my voice To the God who really sees The God who is consumed With loving thoughts of me The screaming winds And the crashing of the oceans Shifting sands and the changing of the seasons As I stand in awe and wonder Nothing in the world has prepared me for you! Jesus, Jesus, I'm safe with you
You Thought
Skillet - Skillet © 1997
You try to answer slow You put your head down low Címon take your time Try to choose the most believable lie You try to walk away And tell me everything's okay You think youíre are saved by words But you're drowning in the absurd But to me it's no big surprise You thought I never saw your eyes Departed with a smile Just like walking down the isle You shook the preacher's hand But your smile can't hide your sin Your eyes tell me what you feel You eyes tell me what is real Nobody's perfect is your prediction Your life is proving your conviction! To me it's no big surprise I saw the emptiness in your eyes
Boundaries
Skillet - Skillet © 1997
I stand here closed and open Praying for the summer rains Reaching in to pull back the curtains Ruling in this desolate land I will let me go My walls melt away You have no boundaries You cross my borders You have no boundaries You crash my borders I lie here clothed and naked Dam bursts to cool ocean waves Black water cleans the highway Resting in the washing away I will let me go My walls melt away You have no boundaries You cross my borders You have no boundaries You crash my borders You are more than all that is outside of me You are more than that which is inside of me You have no boundaries I have no borders from you You have no boundaries I have no borders
Splinter
Skillet - Skillet © 1997
Here I lie again inside this broken body Wrestle against the tree, my muscles aching To get up now is death, to die is to really live Flesh is restless, twisting, spasms in my back increasing Splinter me, splinter me My heart, my head Splinter me Here I think again to try to solve this puzzle What is not yours I don¹t want, my mind aching To reconstruct my thoughts or let it blow away You are all-knowing, changing, yeah you¹re killing me Splinter me, splinter me My heart, my head Splinter me Jesus whispered softly, Jesus shouted it out His kingdom body coming But we nail him up and hate each other Splinter me, splinter me My broken body Splinter me Splinter me, splinter me My broken body Splinter me
