Track Name: Wouldn't Mind Dying
(Lyrics by Anonymous)

By and by we're going to see the King
By and by we're going to see the King
By and by we're going to see the King
No I wouldn't mind dying if dying was all

Wouldn't mind dying but I got to go by myself
Wouldn't mind dying but I got to go by myself
Wouldn't mind dying but I got to go by myself
No I wouldn't mind dying if dying was all

(Well I ran to the rocks to hide my face
But the rocks cried out, "No hiding place!"
There's no hiding place down here)

After death we're going to stand a test
After death we're going to stand a test
After death we're going to stand a test
No I wouldn't mind dying if dying was all

You must face your deeds, no matter what they are
You must face your deeds, no matter what they are
You must face your deeds, no matter what they are
No I wouldn't mind dying if dying was all

(There's a little black train a-coming
Set your business right
There's a little black train a-coming
And it may be here tonight)

Holy, holy, holy is His name
Holy, holy, holy is His name
Holy, holy, holy is His name
No I wouldn't mind dying if dying was all
Track Name: North South East West
(Lyrics by Chad Marine)

I pressed against the windowpane
Until a shock passed through the frame
From north to south, from east to west
It moved about and did not rest

Hovering past my reach
Encircling thought and speech
Calling out in sound unheard
Speaking out without words
Track Name: "Behind the invisible hedges, into the unimaginable fields..."
(Lyrics by Chad Marine)

All below search above
And so follow the paths of love
As we grow, so we love
The God above, the God of love

In the wintertime we're underneath the snow
(We bide our time until the Honeyflow)
In the wintertime out energy is low
In the wintertime our progress feels so slow
In the wintertime our anxieties grow
In the wintertime the sunlight feels so cold
In the wintertime the nights are long and slow
In the wintertime the silence takes its toll
In the wintertime we seek you from below
In the wintertime we ask, "Where did you go?"
In the winter all your answers sound like "No"
The wintertime's the Dark Night of the Soul
Track Name: Sunsick
(Lyrics by Chad Marine)

Sometimes the heat is too strong
Sometimes the light is too bright
The road too long
The lane too tight

Now like a solar panel
That's absorbed all it can handle
Your circuitry's dissolved
You're sunsick and unsolved

First time around is what you want
Next time around is what you need
Who's that in front?
Follow or lead?

Now like a broken riddle
That caves in at the middle
Your answering is stalled
You're sunsick and unsolved
Track Name: Russia
(Lyrics by Isaac Watts)

My spirit looks to God alone,
My rock and refuge is His throne.
In all my fears, in all my straits,
My soul on His salvation waits.

Trust Him, ye saints, in all your ways;
Pour out your hearts before His face.
When helpers fail and foes invade,
God is our all-sufficient aid.
Track Name: (Ten Years Ago Today)
(Lyrics by Chad Marine)

Ten years ago today
I saw the shadows of hell
They pushed me on the way
Toward what end I could not tell

And I don't care what you say
You won't unring that bell
Ten years ago today
I saw the shadows of hell

Ten years ago today
I looked down into the well
They rose up in me like a wave of sickness
I could not expel
Track Name: Winter
(Lyrics by Isaac Watts)

His hoary frost, His fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.

He sends His Word and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow
And bids the spring return.
Track Name: The Honeyflow
(Lyrics by Chad Marine)

In the wintertime we're underneath the snow
But summer's come, and back outside we go

In the wintertime our energy is low
But summer's come, and we put on our show

In the wintertime our progress feel so slow
But summer's come, and we fly to and fro

In the wintertime our anxieties grow
But summer's come, and all our cares below

In the wintertime the sunlight feels so cold
But summer's come, and we can feel it glow

In the wintertime the nights are long and slow
But summer's come, and while we sleep we grow

In the wintertime the silence takes its toll
But summer's come, and all the bells ring low

In the wintertime we seek you from below
But summer's come, and now your name we know

In the wintertime we ask, "Where did you go?"
But summer's come, and now your face you show

In the winter all your answers sound like "No"
But summer's come, to us a line you throw

The wintertime's the Dark Night of the Soul
But summer's come, and so the Honeyflow
Track Name: A Breathing Hill (Rev. 22:3-5)
(Lyrics by Chad Marine & John Bunyan)

When doubting cripples dance upon a breathing hill
And I tell you that they will
There'll be no aftermath, no brutal, bloody bath
Nor anything but time to kill

There won't be a sound
But the falling to the ground
Of the tired days
And their tired ways
Track Name: +
(Lyrics by Isaac Watts)

Come, sounds His praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah is the sov'reign God,
The universal King.

He formed the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all His own,
And all the solid ground.

Come, worship at His throne,
Come, bow before the Lord;
We are His works, and not our own,
He formed us by His word.
