Tenth Avenue North - Cathedrals Album Lyrics

No Man Is An Island

I won't run, I will stay
I'm not leaving you!
I know there's friction here
The struggle makes us new.

I wish you never thought you had to go,
Wish you never thought you had to leave!
Together we can lift each other up,
We can build a shelter for the weak!

No man is an island, we can be found
No man is an island, let your guard down!
You don't have to fight me, I am for you
We're not meant to live this life alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

I see fear in your eyes, like there's no safety here
Oh, my friend, let me in, I will share your tears

I wish you never thought you had to go,
Wish you never thought you had to leave!
Together we can lift each other up,
We can build a shelter for the weak!
Oh, come on!

No man is an island, we can be found
No man is an island, let your guard down!
You don't have to fight me, I am for you
We're not meant to live this life alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Through trouble, rain, or fire
Let's reach out to something higher!
Ain't no life outside each other
(We are not alone!)
Through trouble, rain, or fire
Let's reach out to something higher
Eyes open to one another
(We are not alone!) (x2)

No man is an island, we can be found
No man is an island, let your guard down!
You don't have to fight me, I am for you
We're not meant to live this life alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

No man is an island, we can be found
No man is an island, let your guard down!
You don't have to fight me, I am for you
We're not meant to live this life alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
No man is alone!
Why you try to fight me?
We don't have to do it alone!
We don't have to do it alone!
We don't have to do it alone!

Stars In The Night

No matter where you lead
We wanna follow you
The trouble is we forget who we belong to
We chase the wind and tides
We chase the reasons why
Chase the spark inside each other's eyes
Desires are at war
We want that final shore
Sailing on until we find what we've been looking for

Hallelujah
We're running to you
On fire from the mercy in your eyes
And through the dark
Singing we are yours
Your love will lead us through the fight
Like stars in the night
Stars in the night
Stars in the night
Lead us through the fight

We fix our eyes on what we know is true
Even in our shame grace makes a way through
We are obsession, a constellation
You are light in and out of every season
So we keep pressing on
With our redemption song
No one can undo what you've done

Hallelujah
We're running to you
On fire from the mercy in your eyes
And through the dark
Singing we are yours
Your love will lead us through the fight
Like stars in the night

All our lives
For the other side
Where we'll never die

And in the darkest night
We will lift our eyes
The love that lies ahead is more than all we leave behind

Hallelujah
We're running to you
On fire from the mercy in your eyes
And through the dark
Singing we are yours
Your love will lead us through the fight
Like stars in the night
Stars in the night
Stars in the night
Lead us through this fight
Stars in the night

Iesu, Dulcis Memoria

Iesu, dulcis memoria,
dans vera cordis gaudia,
sed super mel et omniae,
eius dulcis praesentia.

Sis, Iesu, nostrum gaudium,
qui es futurus praemium:
sit nostra in te gloria,
per cuncta semper saccula.

Cathedrals

We were built by the hands of love
Redeemed in spite of what we've done
We are the spirit's dwelling place
And now, children of the light
Fight back darkness with delight
Lift your eyes up to His face
Let joy take temptation's place
Joy takes temptation's place

Open up our souls to feel Your glory
Lord, we are a desperate people
Your cathedrals
God, fill this space
Let joy take temptation's place
We will taste and see You as You are

Father, let Your kingdom come
Keep us from our lesser loves
Nothing else can satisfy
Like the joy found in Your eyes
There's joy found inside Your eyes
Your eyes

May we see You as You are

And our hungry souls reach out to whatever fills us up
But we'll keep on falling down unless we fall in love
Our hungry souls reach out to whatever fills us up
But we keep on falling down until we fall in love

Lord, Lord, Lord

I Need You, I Love You, I Want You

I need you
I love you
I want you
No one else can make me new

I need you
I love you
I want you
No one else can make me new

Your joy is better than wine
It's better than love
It's better than life

Your joy is where my heart sings
It's where I belong
It's where I believe

I need you
I love you
I want you
No one else can make me new

I need you
I love you
I want you
No one else can make me new

I will wait for only you
No one else can make me new
No one else can break the silence

I will wait for only you
My heart needs to hear what's true
No one else will break the silence

I will wait for only you
No one loves me like you do
No one else can break the silence

So I will wait for only you
No one else can pull me through
No one else will break the silence

I need you
I love you
I want you
No one else can make me new

I need you
I love you
I want you
No one else can make me new

No one else can make me new
No one else can make me new

The Spark

Is this the spark where it begins
We find freedom from our sins
Is this the place I finally trust
Your presence is enough to

Speak light in my darkness
Speak life till I know
There's strength for my weakness
Slow down oh my soul

You are where my soul finds rest
You are where I lay my head
Your grace lets me catch my breath
Lets me fall into your arms again

God, my life shall not roam
Lead me where your waters run
You, yourself and nothing less
All my life I'll fight to rest

Speak light in my darkness
Speak life till I know
There's strength for my weakness
Slow down oh my soul
Slow down my soul

You are where my soul finds rest
You are where I lay my head
Your grace lets me catch my breath
Lets me fall into your arms again

Tell me your love will never fail me
I'm safe here in your mercy
You're keeping me alive
I need to feel your peace within me
Calm the fears that haunt me
Clear away the lies

Tell me your love is in my bloodstream
It's burning up my heartbeat
Bringing me your light

You are where my soul finds rest
You are where I lay my head
Your grace lets me catch my breath
Lets me fall into your arms again
Again

Heaven's Sound

From our darkest alleys
To our stained glass walls
However high we climb
No matter how many times we fall

From our greatest triumphs
To our deepest defeats
There is a song forever being sung by the redeemed
We can lift our voices
The strong, the weak, come on

We will cry through the sky with a melody
Till our courage shakes the ground
We are now, we are love for all eternity
Let this breath join heaven's sound

In our secret addictions
Let mercy flood in
And out of forgiveness
The power to break the chains begins

And out of the ashes
Beauty of love and life returns

And let us lift our voices
The strong, the weak come on

We will cry through the sky with a melody
Till our courage shakes the ground
We are now, we are love for all eternity
Let this breath join heaven's sound

Heaven's sounds, like we're finally breathing
Heaven's sounds, let the guilty be clean
Heaven's sounds, like the rolling of thunder
Heaven's sounds, let prisoners free
Heaven's sounds, heaven's sounds

We will cry through the sky with a melody
Till our courage shakes the ground
We are now, we are love for all eternity
Let this breath join heaven's sound

Can you hear it now

Stay

I have run through field and mountain
I have waited for the dawn
Gave you heart and soul and body
For the promise of your love

I will not let the fear take over
I will not head the siren's song
I have seen miracles breathe like thunder
So I will wait till the feeling comes

Oh my love, I will fight my heart to keep you safe here
All my life, I will stay
Stay

Oh my love, we are light, a mirror of love eternal
How could I walk away
Stay, stay, stay, stay

We can learn to choose each other
Face to face and hand in hand
Fire dies and tempest crashes
But we won't let the darkness in

I will not let the fear take over
I will not heed the siren's song
I have seen miracles breathe like thunder
So I will wait till the feeling comes

Oh my love, I will fight my heart to keep you safe here
All my life, I will stay
Stay

Oh my love, we are light, a mirror of love eternal
How could I walk away
Stay, stay, stay, stay

Oh lord, I will stay here

Oh love come take my life
Can we remember what was revealed in the sunlight
For rich or poor, I won't leave your side
We can walk safely together through the battle lines

Oh my love, I will fight my heart to keep you safe here
All my life, I will stay
Stay

Oh my love, we are light, a mirror of love eternal
How could I walk away
Stay, stay, stay, stay

Oh love come take my hand tonight
Can we remember what was revealed in the sunlight

We Won't Numb The Pain / Fire

We're taking paths of least resistance
And never feel our soul's persistence
Turn on the radio
We don't wanna know
Keep on running in cruise control

We were never meant to live like this
So much has happened and too easy to miss, yeah
Cheap thrills, social media thrills, used like a drug and we can't keep still

Distracted, distracted
Keep ourselves so distracted
We want more

We won't numb the pain
Hands reaching to the sky
Hearts ready for the fire
Eyes open till we die

We won't numb the pain
Slow down inside your life
Stand still against the tide
Keep fighting for the silence
We won't numb the pain

I talk influence and being strategic
But all I'm feeling is narcissistic
Use recognition, but the adrenaline won't stop long enough to hear this conviction

We were never meant to live like this
Stand up for anything and be dismissed
We don't want it real, we keep it trivial
Objectify it gives a greater feel

We won't numb the pain
Hands reaching to the sky
Hearts ready for the fire
Eyes open till we die

We won't numb the pain
Slow down inside your life
Stand still against the tide
Keep fighting for the silence
We won't numb the pain

We want the cure, not a medication
We're gonna deal with it now
We want the cure, not a medication
We're gonna deal with it now

We won't numb the pain
Hands reaching to the sky
Hearts ready for the fire
Eyes open till we die

We won't numb the pain
Slow down inside your life
Stand still against the tide
Keep fighting for the silence
We won't numb the pain

Gonna feel my,
Gonna feel my,
Gonna feel my heart now

Let me get a taste of your sweetness
Give me one glimpse of your lovely light
Lord, be my joy and treasure
My delight

Let me have a sense of your presence
May I trust your mercy all my life
I just wanna be a fire burning in the night

Fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire in my heart, fire in my soul
May the fire of your love burn away control
Satisfy my heart, cause I don't wanna steal
Or give in to my lust just to feel

Fire, fire, fire, fire

Closer

Feel the breathing in your lungs
Lift your face warm against the sun
And be not blinded by what you see
'Cause in this moment, we touch eternity

We are coming aware
We are coming aware

You are closer, closer
You are closer, closer
Come on, closer than my fear
You are closer, closer
You are closer, closer
Come on, let me know You're near
And push away my fear
Push away my fear

Where can I go, where can I hide
You know my every thought and everything inside
You're attracted to the weak
My pride's the only thing that keeps You from me

Well, I'm embarrassed to admit
The distance I've been feeling
Has all been self-imposed
So now it's time to quit
And let Your nearness in
No fear will go unopposed

I can feel You in the air
I feel You now

---

All The Earth Is Holy Ground

All the earth is holy ground
All the earth is holy ground
Every single breath
Every single sound
I can feel You with me now

All the earth is holy ground
All the earth is holy ground
I don't believe in secular things
Just a world waiting to be redeemed
I was lost but I was found
Now all the earth is holy ground

Wherever I go
I see light, I see Your light
Wherever I go
The sacred's inside of the sacred inside

Oh, what a mystery
Your life and breath alive inside of me
Unworthy to be Your son
But somehow You reached down
And made me Your own
Your mercy has remade
This house I burned down to the grave
Your spirit filled my lungs
Now wherever I go
I bring the kingdom come
Let my song resound
All the earth is holy ground
Holy ground
All the earth is holy ground
All the earth is holy ground

Wherever I go
I see light, I see Your light
Wherever I go
There's sacred inside

For Those Who Can't Speak

(Bonus Track)

I see the glory of the Lord every time the sun rises
I hear the unheard screams of a broken heart
Because every day a son dies
27 million slaves but no plantation
27 million slaves, all different races

This is not the picture the Lord painted in Genesis
Silence is our enemy, our voices can end it

I have dreamed of a kingdom coming where
Evil drowns in mercy streams
I want to see those rivers of justice
So I use my voice for those who can't speak
I will use my voice for those who can't speak

Yeah, yeah, when it's all said and done
Yeah, I pray that everything we said is done
I don't want my son to say I was one of the ones
That watched 27 million suffer and never say
No, no, I won't be that
I don't deserve a mic if I ain't got no feedback
Bring back every girl from the west to the east that
He crafted for His glory, not for making you green backs

I dream that
Every ounce of brokenness and disease that
Bring that to the cross, believe that He redeems that
Sees that type of world that my daughters can breathe in
Where the beautiful feet that go where the needs at

Come on, come on
Oh, none of here are just a number
We all have a name like any other
There's breath inside your lungs
And you are my brother
My God, when will we stand
Stand together

I want to be the kingdom coming where
Evil drowns in mercy streams
Oh, let me see those rivers of justice
So I use my voice for those who can't speak
I will use my voice for those who can't speak
I use my voice for those who can't speak
