Transparent Lyrics
01. How Long
longing, longing to be with you
gorgeous, are you, lord
how long will you wait to come
how long will I have to long
how long till the ecstasy
of Your face falls down on me
feeling so confused, like a lover chasing a muse
grasping for the moon when I know its light come from the Son
and with Your love divine, won’t you open up my mind
lord I beg and plead, change me or come
and like a foolish child I reach for pots
that have already burned and scarred my hands
why do I deserve your amazing love, I don’t
but I guess that’s what makes it yours
your love, your love, so why don’t you tell me about it

02. You Felt It In The Flesh
as i gaze upon the rain, i melt from a whisper
sung a thousand miles away, which is nothing to a drifter
lord is it wrong to say, that kind of love is pain
i’ve only begun to know her, love what a crazy game
lord have we every really played?
but you can understand the depths to which i fell
for you came to earth and lived just like me
and i know you know the sting of betrayal
and i know you know the joy of love
should i step where i’ve been hurt before
the chamber that was wounded in war
i know you felt my pain
i read about your crimson stains
you’ve felt it in the flesh
you’ve wiped tears from your very eyes
you never said your blood would make us numb
only truly let us live our lives, abundantly
there is a thorn in me, sticking ever so silently
lord take it away
from me

03. The Vine
you are, the source of everything
and i am just a servant to a loving king
i’ve tried, to do it on my own
but time and time and ime again you tell me
i will abide, but will you come along
and sing along, enduring the final love song
i will abide, for i am the vine
apart from me you cannot do anything
sinking like, a stone without life
is what i was before i knew you, now i’m
dancing for the whole world to see
but the father never ceases in reminding me
sweet release

04. Found In You
ugly, am i? That is what the world has deemed
worthless, i’m too short, too fat, too this, too that
no! i won’t believe the lie, but am i?
i am so ashamed, jesus
but you will be the sunshine in my loneliness
yours will be the mirror in which i view myself all day long
and i will stand just as in my potter’s hands
for you are the lord and i am yours
so open up my mind
jealous, of all i see. oh to be anyone but me
nobody loves me, nobody cares
so i purge to escape myself too scarred from the stares
mercy, lord have mercy on me
freedom, freedom is in this place
freedom, freedom is in my face
freedom, freedom to livein grace
for i am beautiful and wonderful
hallelujah, hallelujah i am yours
and found in you, nobody else but you

05. More Than Fine
i woke this morning to a brand new day
it’s when life is simple and i begin to pray
but soon i realize the world has no faith
so i feel pressured to play their game
but i don’t ever want to toe that line
i just want to leave that foolishness behind
i just want to live by faith and not by sight
and tell the world i’m more then fine
o so more than fine
all these voices invade my head
they come to kill and conquer, but they push me on instead
they only remind me of all the things i hate
so they can keep their eyes on what’s for sure and eat their fancy cake

06. Deliver Me
make my heart oh lord, into an instrument of praise
like a mighty horn, blasting through the haze
burn away my flesh, with a holy raging fire
until all that’s left, is yours
deliver me
my god
i don’t want to lust no more, don’t want to lie no more
don’t want to covet no more, no more
don’t want to draw no more, from the dry and barren wells
i want to drink of you lord, from your holy springs of life
i don’t want to be better lord
i want you to finish me
take all that remains of me
i want to be yours, to be yours lord
freedom come rain on me, holy spirit reign
teach me what it is to be broken, for there is no better place

07. Waiting For You
holy father, the time has come
may your cup pass from me
but no my will, but yours be done
i hung on calvary, spread across that tree
as love it poured from me, from me to you
i came to save the lost, i came to pay your cost
pierced upon the cross, i died to be with you
they call me the man of sorrows, what would you call me?
a man who came to save and to love
only to be beaten and spit upon, even to this day
but arise, arise, children of the light
for victory was won that faithful night
hallelujah, the veil in the temple cried
for the savior is ready for his bride
i’m waiting for you, waiting for you,
waiting for you, waiting for you
everyday you chase, those empty pleasures
always leading you to the same lonely place
well i made you with my hands, i know every hair upon your head
i don’t care where you’ve been, i don’t care what you’ve done
no, no, i died for it all
the time has come, the time has come
come back to me my precious one
i’m waiting for you, i’m waiting for you
waiting for you my precious one

08. Would I Be On Your Mind
she told me the news today, it stung like razor blades
then all i felt was faint
she said all she has is, one more day of breath
we cried ’til we were dry
then i heard, the saddest thing i’ve ever heard
she said…
if i was to live to see another day
would i be on your mind
and if i was to walk another mile
would you be by my side
we spend the entire night, just hangin’ and talkin’ about
all the things that she has done
why do we wait so long, to really love someone
i’m convinced we are afraid
but not today, so i choked down the tears and sang
everyone’s estranged, avoiding depth and pain
to consumed by our selfishness
wasting lots of time, we miss what’s come and gone
lord teach us how to love someone
angel you are loved

09. Did I Go Astray
i remember summer day
when the moon would shine upon my face
succumbing to an empty gaze
and feeling so ashamed
you knew the way, but did you pave the way
or did i go astray
memories they fade to gray
but memories never fade away
salvation knows another face
but was there another way
but i stand redeemed, for your mercy is alive
lord your ways escape me
did you summon me
to walk the valley that is now a sea

10. A Love Like This
beautiful little child of mine
how i’ve longed to utter those words
like a man lost in his lover’s eyes
i’m lost in you
and if you stray, i will wait upon my steps
and if you run, i will search to endless depths
for i see, inside the hearts of men
and i will say, you’ve never known a love like me before
everyday i stare upon the earth
looking for a faithful man
but it never ceases in amazing me
how i reach to hand you diamond, but you turn your head for glass
surrender all your pride, and walk into the light
drink deep the abundant life, and swallow
Written by Danen Kane
11. It Must Be Love
run away with me, through the fields that have no end
we will laugh as though it is our breath
for your face is the sunrise
and your eyes like heaven’s doors
and your heart is alive with the voice of an angel
singing to my crying eyes
it sing allelu, it sings alleluia
it must be love
but i know i’ve been fooled before
sending pride where i know it belongs
looking only at the sparkle and failing to examine the stone
but this time seems different
for the lord it telling me to go on
for he said when his spirit entered her heart
holy broken out in angelic song
holy sang, “i am home”
he sang “i am home”
and when the light shines on your face i know
there is no other place i’d rather be
than holding you so close like lovers do
it must be love
Written by Danen Kane 08/20/03
12. Jesus Is Lord
great is the lord in the heavens
lovely is the lord in the heavens
let all the world proclaim his name
jesus is lord! (he’s the lover for the loveless)
and i am redeemed! (his blood is thicker than my sickness)
(his love is deeper than the oceans)
so bow to the lord in heavens
be restored by the lord in the heavens
not by righteousness or fame
not by calves that reach the flame
freedom goes by just one name
jesus is lord
