Lyrics

I've been mixing my metaphors when it comes to You
'Cause I'm a son, I'm a bride, the acquitted, and the accused
And I know those last two are the other way around
'Cause I'm no longer lost but I forget that I'm found
And You paid all of my debt but I still live like the rent is due
But You hung on that tree
To keep me from the gallows
But You hung on that tree
To keep me from the gallows
I've been mixing my metaphors when it comes to us
'Cause You're the Vine, I'm the branches, You're the wine to all my empty cups
And I keep finding myself in the wrong part of this tale
But I'm not the point, 'cause You succeed where I've failed
And all the cracks that I created are forever closed by Your blood
And You hung on that tree
To keep me from the gallows
And You hung on that tree
To keep me from the gallows
And You hung on that tree
To keep me from the gallows
And You hung on that tree
To keep me from the gallows
And that would've been enough for me
But You want me at Your feet, You want me at Your feast
And that would've been enough for me
But You want me at Your feet, You want me at Your feast
And that would've been enough for me
But You want me at Your feet, You want me at Your feast
And that would've been enough for me
But You want me at Your feet, You want me at Your feast

And at 30,000 feet, Joshua’s first full-length album, ALL YE LEPERS, is both an act of confession and glorification, and the exploration of how they are wed. The new songs reach fresh heights and depths, as he responds to the goodness of Christ across the spectrum of human experience—life and death, joy and sorrow, expectation and waiting. All with poetic determination and unflinching honesty. Intricate and fertile lyrics, woven through a rich and diverse sonic tapestry... [more]
