LETRAS: REND COLLECTIVE EXPERIMENT

Rend Collective Experiment é uma banda que, pra quem já conhece o blog desde o começo, dispensa comentários e para quem está chegando agora não pode deixar de conhecer, e ser cativado pela adoração original e sincera que essa galera da Irlanda do Norte nos leva a experimentar. Muita coisa já foi postada sobre eles no Blog é só dá uma procurada ;D

Além de trazer as letras do album: "Organic Family Hymnal", de 2010, venho tambem trazer a excelente noticia da produção de um novo album que já está sendo gravado e será lançado no inicio de 2012. A banda está trabalhando com o engenheiro de som Sam Gibson (Hillsong United, Delirious?, Pearl Jam, Crowded House).

No início deste ano a banda acompanhou o líder de Louvor dos EUA Chris Tomlin em sua Turnê por 30 importantes cidades dos EUA.

Escrevendo em sua página no Twitter, a banda disse: “Vocês sabem o que isso significa amigos … O início do álbum número 2! Gareth começou gravando a bateria do álbum 2 … teremos terminado a gravação dos instrumentos até o final de julho”… “estamos trabalhando para o lançamento no inicio de 2012!”

COME ON MY SOUL

Come on my soul
Come on my soul
Let down the walls
And sing my soul

Come on, come on, come on, come on
It's time to look up

FAITHFUL

There's no words that You've spoken
That haven't brought hope
No promise You've made
You haven't fulfilled
Faithful Jesus
An offering of praise I bring to You

Such grace that no man
Could ever repay
Patience that outlives
The doubts in my head
Faithful Jesus
An offering of praise I bring to You

Surrounded by gifts of love
You express in life the depth of Your love

Jesus, I will put my hope in You
No idols compare to who You are, all You've given
I live to honour and worship You
Be like a window to who You are, all You've given to me

You're faithful to the end

MOVEMENTS

I wanna soar with You
Upon wings like eagles
But I'll crawl with You too
When the dark and lonely questions come

I wanna stand true
No matter what's new or comes through
I can’t stand still
Whatever hits I'll keep making movements to You

I'm running fast and free to You
‘Cos You are the movement and fight in me
I'm running fast and free to You
‘Cos You are my home where I wanna be
Come move in me
Where I wanna be, come move in me

I wanna float with you
The currents driving me
But I'll paddle hard too
When the waves and rapids overcome

I wanna stand firm
When my mind’s weak and my emotions squirm
I must stand true
Whatever hits I'll keep making movements to You

I won't walk away, won't walk away

YOU BLED

You bled your heart out
Now I feel love beat in my chest
How wonderful
You gave your beauty
In exchange for my ugliness
How wonderful

You left your perfection
And embraced our rejection

How marvellous, how boundless
Is Your love, is Your love
How wonderful, sacrificial
Is Your love for me

You put on our chains
Sent us out through the open door
How wonderful
You took our sadness
Crowned us with joy and real peace
How wonderful

You left Your perfection
And fought for our redemption

Yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me
How wonderful
Yes Jesus loves me
This is love
You gave Yourself

BROKEN BREAD

May I be broken bread, may I be poured out wine
May I incarnate, Your kindness Lord

Spend my life Jesus, anyway You please
Whether on great things, or what seems small

Your will done your way
Your will done your way
Your will done your way

I will not fight You
Take me past the line that my heart draws
I will not fight You
Take me beyond the laziness of my thoughts
I will not fight
Lead me further than I've gone before
I will not fight You
I'm abandoned to Your call

Do not let there be, any part of me
That’s untouchable, unreachable

Let my delight be, living out Your dreams
Washing dirty feet, and kissing yours

God let Your dreams come true, dream through us
God let Your dreams come true through us

EXALT

I'm bare before You, O risen Jesus
Can't hide from You, Your kindness is too strong

Today you kneel, you wash my feet
Where the dirt of sin has harmed me
Who has heard of such majesty
Glorious one I let down the walls again

There's nothing that’s sweeter than Your friendship
There's nothing greater than Your Lordship

I exalt You, I exalt You, I exalt You and enjoy You
I exalt You, I exalt You, I exalt You
You’re the colour of my world

You are my sight, my life’s guide
Though I’m blind, You brighten the way

The troubles they are many
And I feel I'm losing
But You rescue me in Your time
Glorious One You redeem all my mistakes

There's nothing that’s stronger than Your overwhelming grace
And Your truth is my wide open space

There's nothing that’s sweeter than your friendship
There's nothing greater than your Lordship
There's nothing that’s stronger than your overwhelming grace
And Your truth is my wide open space

GOD IS NEAR

No one really knows
What it is to be alone
Since You've never left our side

Omnipresence means
That You’re never far away
You’re always within reach
Always within reach

Hallelujah God is near
Hallelujah Christ is close
Hallelujah God is near
Hallelujah

We've been oceans apart
But You'd part oceans to be with me
Nothing can keep You away
Nothing can keep You away

You're living in me now
You built Your home inside my soul
And You’re never moving out
No You’re never moving out

You're closer than a whisper
Close enough to hear my heart beat
You're closer than a kiss
Close enough to raise my heart beat

ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE

You rule over distant seas over every part of me
You raise the day from night and the song inside of me
You watch all the planets spin and my eyelids flickering

Beyond everything else You are, You are
Above everything else You are

Greater than life itself
More precious than perfect health
Finer than friendship or romance
More needed than oxygen
More pleasing than thrill or fame
Stronger than death or gravity

You speak and the waves obey, but You whisper peace to me
You hold the skies in their place and my past and destiny
You reign over war-torn lands, over famine, fear and kings

King Jesus You are victorious, You are
King Jesus You are victorious

TOO MUCH

The tempo of my heart beat, adjusts to match the moment
Your presence wraps around a dust-formed man
You're close enough to whisper, the infinite is imminent
The one who bought my heart with blood draws near

Immanuel, God is in this place
Immanuel, You are here

And I try to take it in, the beauty of it all
The beauty of You

My heart waits still and quiet and contemplates the mystery
Of glory juxtaposed with sin-stained man
It's like two lovers meeting but instead of lips connecting
My soul is pressed against true love Himself

And I try to take it in, the beauty of it all
The beauty of You
But I admit defeat, it's all too much for me
You are just too much for me

YOU ARE LOVE

A mind full of questions
And a heart full of pain
Can't understand why we are here again

But there's grace in this season
Not just to see us through
But to renew us

You are love Lord
And Your ways testify
You are love Lord
Perfectly defined
Through the suffering or joy
We will confide in Your perfect love

A mind full of questions
And a future unclear
But Your perfect love scatters fear

‘Cos Your will is to build up
And not to harm
But to complete us

It's time to stretch these legs of faith
And run into this unknown width
With truth of Your love for us

THINE BE THE GLORY

Thine be the Glory
Risen and conquering son
Endless is the victory
Thou over death hast won

Make us more than conquerors
Through Thy deathless love
Bring us safe through Jordan
To Thy home above

You won, You won, You won
An overwhelming victory

Let the church with gladness
Hymns of triumph sing
For her Lord now liveth
Death has lost its sting

You have won, You have won, risen Son
Conquering Son

LOVE DIVINE

Love Divine, all love excelling
Joy of heaven, to earth come down
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling
All Thy faithful mercies crown
Jesus, Thou art all compassion
Pure, unbounded love Thou art
Visit us with Thy salvation
Enter every trembling heart

Breathe, oh, breathe Thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast
Let us all in Thee inherit
Let us find the promised rest
Take away the love of sinning
Alpha and Omega be
End of faith as its beginning
Set our hearts at liberty

Come, Almighty, to deliver
Let us all Thy life receive
Suddenly return and never
Nevermore, Thy temples leave
May we be a blessing to Thee
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing
Glory in Thy perfect love

Finish, then, Thy new creation
Pure and spotless let us be
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee
Changed from glory into glory
Till in heaven we take our place
Till we cast our crowns before Thee
Lost in wonder, love and praise

FIND YOUR KINDNESS
Little people slipping through the cracks
We've got a system but it won't bring them back
Disappearing down black holes of what we don't want to know
Civilization seems to rest on all the people that we can forget
I don't want to live off the grid anymore

Find your kindness, why can't we find our kindness
Find your kindness now

Twenty first century life
Neon lights and satellites
How do we miss what's before our eyes
Media can freeze ya into collective amnesia
And I don't want to forget anymore

When did democracy
Become a paper chasing bureaucracy
All of our hands got tied and we don't know how to be kind
Put a face to a name a real person to the numbers game
I don't wanna hesitate anymore
