Just as I am 03:55
Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, Thy love unknown Hath broken every barrier down; Now, to be Thine, yes, Thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, of that free love The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove, Here for a season, then above, O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Psalm 19 04:02
The heavens declare The glory of God The skies proclaim the work of his hands Day after day They pour forth speech Night after night they show his knowledge More than precious gold Greater than the world Perfect is your word And I will praise you The law of the Lord Refreshes the soul His statutes are sure and makes wise the simple His precepts are right Rejoices the heart His commandment is pure and lights up my eyes More than precious gold Greater than the world Perfect is your word And I will praise you

Back in the garden, everything was fine Until the serpent tried to undermine One slip from perfection, came the fall of man No more in the promised land Sin reigned in death from that moment on No appeasement for the wrath, our innocence had gone No-one was perfect to pull us from the sand We longed for the glorious promised land The blood of animals, it could not atone Repeated endlessly, could not bring us home We needed sacrifice to satisfy the law's demand And bring us to the promised land There was no other way to bring us back to God He sent his only Son to demonstrate his love And through the sacrifice of the spotless Lamb We're off to the heavenly promised land

Psalm 51 05:32
Have mercy on me, God most holy Blot out all my sin Wash me thoroughly From iniquity Cleanse me from within For I know my transgressions And my sin is before me Against you have I sinned And done evil in your sight I was born in iniquity In sin from my conception But in truth you delight Teach me wisdom Create in me a clean heart Renew a right spirit within Cast me not away from your presence Restore to me your joy Purge me and I'll be clean Wash me whiter than snow Let me hear joy and gladness Let the bones that you have broken now rejoice Create in me a clean heart Renew a right spirit within Cast me not away from your presence Restore to me the joy of your salvation (I will declare your praise)

Glorified 04:18

about

It's funny how lines of songs stick out sometimes. As we were recording 'Just as I am', the words that leapt out to us were: here for a season, then above. And that sums up this EP - we're here for a sin-messed-up moment but we're facing an amazing, perfect, eternity.
