You are good You are good When there's nothing good in me You are love You are love On display for all to see You are light You are light When the darkness closes in You are hope You are hope You have covered all my sin You are peace You are peace When my fear is crippling You are true You are true Even in my wandering You are joy You are joy You're the reason that I sing You are life You are life In You death has lost its sting oh, I'm running to Your arms I'm running to Your arms The riches of Your love Will always be enough Nothing compares to Your embrace Light of the world forever reign You are more You are more Than my words will ever say You are Lord You are Lord All creation will proclaim You are here You are here In Your presence I'm made whole You are God You are God Of all else I'm letting go oh, I'm running to Your arms I'm running to Your arms The riches of Your love Will always be enough Nothing compares to Your embrace Light of the world forever reign My heart will sing no other Name Jesus, Jesus oh, I'm running to Your arms I'm running to Your arms The riches of Your love Will always be enough Nothing compares to Your embrace Light of the world forever reign Songwriters: Jason Ingram / Ruben Morgan Forever Reign lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Essential Music Publishing, Capitol Christian Music Group

Come empty me 'til I am clean Remove the hurt that no one sees So come in power, I need You now Reverse the curse, I'm breaking out I know that You make all things new Turn my heart inside out My life is Yours, You have it all Take my past, today I live for You Make all things new, make all things new No longer blind, but now I see No longer bound, but now I'm free So come in power, I need You now Reverse the curse, I'm breaking out I know that You make all things new Turn my heart inside out My life is Yours, You have it all Take my past, today I live for You Make all things new, make all things new (Korey Costa) stepped in to the vestibule all i ever had to do was confess i'm a fool 21, and i never heard this lesson in school funny huh, now i'm using every blessing as fuel weapons and tools, to move against death in a duel life's lame but until i get to heaven it's cool it's like wait, why would God ever bet on a mule? right lane slow me down but i'll get to Him soon ok nowadays, our brains are wired to hourly wage not how we behave but i'm humbled by His power each day pick me apart like a surgeon soften my heart that is hurtin' remove all of the parts that are burdens all along i was the one causing the turbulence that i haven't been concerned with since He took to the path to my demise and He burned the bridge you see, only He alleviates deep down everyone can relate don't nobody wanna suffer the fate of a runaway running in place rundown, still stuck in the hatred basically let's cut to the chase um, Jesus the only one that can save us but not until we return to the One who we came from maybe not today but Yesterday's gone, I'm moving on I know that You make all things new I know that You make all things new Turn my heart inside out My life is Yours, You have it all Take my past, today I live for You Make all things new, make all things new

Magnify the Lord with me, whom the Son, He hath redeemed. Clap your hands, rejoice, and sing, You are Lord of everything. I will bless the Lord, bless the Lord at all times. I will bless the Lord, bless the Lord at all times. For the Lord our God is great, perfect Lord, in all Your ways. God of mercy, Lord of grace, Holy One, Ancient of days. I will bless the Lord, bless the Lord at all times. I will bless the Lord, bless the Lord at all times. Bless the Lord, oh my soul and all that's within me bless His name. I will bless the Lord. He has done great things for me so I will... He has done great things for me, He has done great things for me, so I will bless the Lord, bless the Lord.

So Afraid 03:41
things are goin good and everything is ok but if i know myself i'm gonna fall away you know i never mean it it's just what humans do start to get that feelin that we don't need You start to get a taste of walkin on our own and we leave that place we ignore the throne oh God you're so much more than a fair weather friend don't let the only times we talk be when I need a hand God I'm so afraid that this will fade away please don't let me stray from the path You've laid i'm gonna hit my knees that blood is all i need and i'm not gettin up til You talk to me can't even count the ways that i've been saved by grace but there's so many times that I slapped Your face You know my every thought and see my every deed and when I hate myself You keep on loving me these tears are liquid prayers and they gon' get me there into Your presence where You can give me what i need to make it through the mess even with all the stress my God is bigger than all the things that i can't stand God I'm so afraid that this will fade away please don't let me stray from the path You've laid i'm gonna hit my knees that blood is all i need and i'm not gettin up til You talk to me let me be a tool in your hands let me be a voice to your plan let me see people like You do let me take a beating for You let me in You be confident let me be a light to all men let my work be most efficient let me love without condition let me never boast in myself let me put You above all else let me operate in your will let me always be Spirit-filled let my songs get the hands raised let my voice always sing Your praise let me be salt and make me light let You in me always take delight it's in the secret place that imma find my grace i won't turn away i will stay and seek Your face i'm gonna live Your word and let Your voice be heard i just can't believe that You would use an idiot like me

You know it ain't no use, banging your head, up against that cold stone wall, Cause nobody's perfect, except for the Lord, and even the best bound to fall, Remember, He is divine, and you are da branch, He'd love to get you through it if you'd give Him a chance, Just keep doing your best, And pray that it's blessed, Jesus takes care of the rest. Yes the Lord said that He'd take care of the rest, He's gonna do it, He'll take care of the rest, He'll see you through it, He'll take care of the rest, the devil blew it, He'll take care of the, He'll take care of the rest. Just think about Moses, in front of the burning bush, Barefoot on the Holy ground You know, he must have been thinking, hey what's an old dude like me Gonna tell em all when I go down, go down Moses, The Lord said, hey Moe, don't you worry about going down south, I'll be saying every word that comes out of your mouth, Just keep doing your best, and pray that it's blessed, Hey Moe, I'll take care of the rest. Yes the Lord said that He'd take care of the rest, he's gonna do it, He'll take care of the rest, He'll see you through it, He'll take care of the rest, oh, Pharaoh blew it, He'll take care of the, He'll take care of the rest. Just believe, and you'll receive, that comfort you need, You just think about all those lonely people you know, They've got everything they want, but they have empty souls, Well, He'll take care of the, He'll take care of the, He'll take care of the rest. You just think about Noah, toting his umbrella, when there wasn't a cloud in the sky, All his neighbors would laugh at his patchy raft, and would snicker as he walked by But the Lord said, hey Noah, keep cool, just keep building that boat It's just a matter of time till they see who's gonna float You just keep doing your best, and pray that it's blessed, Hey Noah, I'll take care of the rest, I'm the weatherman. The Lord said that he'll take care of the rest, He's gonna do it, He'll take care of the rest, He'll see you through it, He'll take care of the rest, his neighbors blew it, He'll take care of the rest, He's gonna do it, He's gonna do it, He'll take care of the rest, only Jesus can see you through it, He'll take care of the rest, yes, yes, yes, He'll take care of the, He'll take care of the rest….

One By One 03:13
One by one I'm learning these new things One by one these days go by in blinks One by one my thoughts begin to shrink One by one goes the plucking of the strings I'm tired of mediocrity I'm tired of waltzing 'round the freaks I'm tired of you tarnishing our name I'm tired of you making us look lame Why can't we Be easier to see Why can't we Practice what we preach I wish that we Could actually agree The only thing that matters is L o v e One by one they pass him on the street One by one he watches passing feet One by one drop tears into the can One by one they ignore the homeless man I'm tired of mediocrity I'm tired of these stupid Pharisees I'm tired of you tarnishing our name I'm tired of you making us look lame Why can't we Be easier to see Why can't we Practice what we preach I wish that we Could actually agree The only thing that matters is L o v e Blessed is the man whom God corrects so I don't despise discipline from on High one by one I keep passin em by and i'm gonna forget how to sympathize don't be conditioned by the most recent edition our society which seems to be on a mission of desensitizing, robbing us, blinding us from the things that we ought to be minding it's about time that we take things back stop putting up with the things that distract learn how to act, get each other's back, know how love even when they don't back in everything imitate the King we might be the only Christ they see focus on the mission, secure in your position and when He speaks, be sure that you listen One by one The things we do impact One by one All of those who lack The connection we have with he who created all things One by one goes the plucking of the strings

I probably did somethin dumb again And that's why you're listening I probably didn't even mean it but I know you won't wanna hear it but Enough about me It's my stupidity that got me here in the first place And now you can't stand my face So let me tear down those walls That I built with my short falls And let me just fix it all So Imma wash all the dishes And vacuum the kitchen I'm even gonna wash the floor Takin out the trash And I'm makin you a bath And you didn't even have to ask Need your kisses I need my misses I miss you right away when you leave And all I'm sayin is that I'm sorry And all I'm sayin, is please forgive me Now I'm sittin outside the house You don't know it but I'm locked out This mornin you called me out How I never finish songs about you that I write, And you're totally right, But Imma try my best tonight I don't wanna cry but I might I need a better filter, inside of my head Or maybe a lock, on my mouth instead There's so many things don't need to be said So I'm sorry for the ones that should have stayed in my head So Imma wash all the dishes And vacuum the kitchen I'm even gonna wash the floor Takin out the trash And I'm makin you a bath And you didn't even have to ask Need your kisses I need my misses I miss you right away when you leave And all I'm sayin is that I'm sorry And all I'm sayin, is please forgive me Baby please just hear me out I can't take it when you shut me out I'm doin my best to be To be the man of your dreams cuz you are my queen And you deserve nothing less Than my absolute best So Imma wash all the dishes And vacuum the kitchen I'm even gonna wash the floor Takin out the trash And I'm makin you a bath And you didn't even have to ask Need your kisses I need my misses I miss you right away when you leave And all I'm sayin is that I'm sorry And all I'm sayin, is please forgive me

Oh Lord, You're beautiful, Your face is all I see, For when Your eyes are on this child, Your grace abounds to me Oh Lord, please light the fire That once burned bright and clear Replace the lamp of my first love That burned with holy fear I want to take your word and shine it all around But first help me just to live it Lord And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown For my reward is giving glory to You Oh Lord, You're beautiful, Your face is all I see, For when Your eyes are on this child, Your grace abounds to me I want to take your word and shine it all around But first help me just to live it Lord And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown For my reward is giving glory to You

The Anthem 02:56
Hallelujah You have won the victory Hallelujah You have won it all for me Death could not hold You down You are the risen King Seated in majesty You are the risen King
11.
I have to believe that He sees my darkness I have to believe He knows my pain I have to lift up my hands to worship Worship His name I have to declare that He is my refuge I have to deny that I am alone I have to lift up my eyes to the mountain It's where my help comes from He said He's forever faithful He said He's forever true He said He can move mountains If He can move mountains He can move my mountain He can move your mountain too Oh, I have to stand tall when the wind blows me over I have to stand strong when I'm weak and afraid I have to grab hold, ahold of the garments The garments of praise He said He's forever faithful And He said He's forever true He said He can move mountains If He can move mountains He can move my mountain He can move your mountain, too I have to sing praise when the hour is midnight He unlocks these chains that bind up my soul My sin and my shame He has forgiven And made me whole He said He's forever faithful And He said He's forever true He said He can move mountains If He can move mountains He can move my mountain He can move your mountain, too

There is a God Who loves me Who wraps me in His arms That is the place where I'm changed And that's where I belong Take me to that place Lord To that secret place where I can be with You You can make me like You Wrap me in Your arms Wrap me in Your arms Wrap me in Your arms Here in Your arms I find peace And all my fears are gone I'm overwhelmed by Your love I know, to You, I belong Take me to that place Lord To that secret place where I can be with You You can make me like You Wrap me in Your arms Wrap me in Your arms Wrap me in Your arms Never ever let me go Never ever let me go Never ever let me go Never ever let me go

Break our hearts Lord, with the things that break Yours Take our hearts Lord, make them completely Yours Hold us Jesus, You are all we need Show us Jesus, what we need to see You are Lord and You are king All the glory to You our king Keep us in you, we're not letting go

about

The name Waxless comes from the idea of being without wax, or true to one's self without hiding imperfections or shortcomings. It also represents a family of musicians who strive to serve the Lord with their talents and abilities.

The name Steadfast comes from James 1 which tells us to count it all joy when we meet trials of various kinds, for we know that the testing of our faith produces steadfastness. The word steadfast means unmovable, unshakeable. This is what I want to be. It's not the obvious reaction to celebrate trials, but I have seen very many and my faith is much stronger because of them. It will continually be a work in progress, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, the future trials get a little easier to withstand.

I've been working on these songs for a long time, and I've finally gotten them to a place where I feel that they properly represent my journey and my passion. I love worship music, but sometimes it can get old. I took as many different approaches to some of my favorite worship songs and got as many of my very talented friends involved as possible. I have carefully structured the order of the songs in a way that takes the listener on a journey. I want the listener to be taken to church. I want the listener to realize that God loves them in spite of their faults. I want the listener to try talking to God if they never have before. I want the seasoned Christian to be encouraged. I want the atheist to not hate it. I want those not sure of what they believe to realize how much God wants to be reconciled to them. I want to point people to God, and not myself. To Him be all the glory forever and ever, amen.

2 Corinthians 5:17-20
