lyrics

I've taken lessons from losses,
Taken lectures from bosses,
Taken life for granted to find it cost you.
Taken love and left it,
Learned that at the exit you can leave and then regret it,
Live a little, and forget it.

I've taken liberties, and lied when I was desperate.
Taken my light and hid it like coveting an investment.
I know I've taken less than I deserve, underpaid at work,
Overpaid with the Savior's concern.

I've taken long periods of time
And observed how you can be on the top
And just as quick kicked to the curb.
And if by now your interest isn't deterred
You can see how I'm taking L's
And replacing them with words.

I've taken left-overs to find I'm right-under fresh perspective
But it's hard when you're trying to fight hunger.
Must be the right one to, breathe rain and write thunder,
Insight wonder revelation hype and Christ coming.

The bright Sun will shine no matter how we hide from it.
Light cometh though I stumbled and dark times nothing.
Can stop the mouth of truth speaking, though I frequently adhere to words
I'm more often than not be receiving bites from them.
And the marks are vicious,
So I've taken lies and twisted them in attempts to cover up my scars in stitches.

I've taken lots of time aside to witness,
As if the Great Commission is a passive act that watches from the benches.
And from behind the fences,
I'd rather flip a tree than turn a leaf
It's hard to see how little efforts make a difference.
So I'm guessing this is, born from the insufficience,
But its in my lack that I find my riches.

Riverview Music Lansing Charter Township, Michigan

We like to see our music as varied as the weather here in Michigan; sometimes there's synth beats, sometimes there's banjo, sometimes it's rock, and there's a decent chance someone will say it's too loud. But whatever the style, we hope our music can be used to respond to who God is and what He has done. ... more
