Texterna har för oss alltid varit en central del i musikskapandet. Vi vill gärna att människor ska få ta del av det vi brinner för. Evangeliet om Jesus, vilket har blivit det centrala i vårat liv och vi önskar att människor ska få ta del av vad vi upplevt. Du är välkommen att prata med oss om våra texter och våran tro. Vi önskar dig Guds rika välsignelse!
Bry er
Människor passerar, verkar inte se mig
Trots att jag står här, dag efter dag
Timmar passerar, jag känner mig så frusen
Men jag vet inte vart jag ska gå
Ni säger ni har Jesus, och att han älskar alla
Att han kom för de svaga, sådana som mig
Ni säger ni har Jesus och att han älskar alla
Men om han gör det borde ni väl bry er
Vill ni inte bry er? Vill ni inte se mig?
Vill ni inte bry er? Vill ni inte förstå?
Människor är frusna inne i sina hjärtan
Sällan någon stannar för att tala med mig
Jag är trött på att finnas, trött på att ingen ser mig
Trött på att va´ ensam, trött på att ingen bryr sig
Vill ni inte bry er? Vill ni inte se mig?
Vill ni inte se mig? Vill ni inte förstå?
It's time for us to care
It's time for us to share
All the love from our Father
Just chase away your fear
They are there, everywhere
Looking, searching in despair
The burden they are carrying is more than anyone could bear
You wanna change this generation
This nation's situation
Seek the father of creation for the right motivation
Liberation doesn't come from your qualification
It's a result of our God, Jesus Christ's, incarnation

Come to Me
All these forces that tend to bring me down
Seem like thousands but in fact there’s only one
One who hates me, and loves to trouble send
But I’m afraid that his attacks have been my friends
Sinking deeper, I was stuck in a swamp
I had gone lost in a search for my home
But Jesus saw me on that glorious day
He showed me what matters, took my hand and pulled me away
Oh sweet Jesus, You are a mystery
What kind of fire burns inside of Thee?
That could make You go all the way
See a sinner and the price for all of his lapses pay
Everything has been prepared for you
There is not much that you have to do
Now Jesus is standing here, ready to set you free
He’s calling: "Come to me!"

Cowabunga
I am good at growing pain
And I’ve got myself to blame
'Cause this feeling of defeat
Is rooted in the position of my feet
I just want to be with You
Lord let me know
What I’m able to in You
So I can go
And bring fame unto Your name
This is what I live for
This is what I’d die for
Your love is all that matters
You gave it all for free
But my pride has hindered me
To receive Your love at all
(But) By Your cross I’m going to crawl
I just want to be with You
I’ve got no time to live in pain
Through Him there’s victory to gain
And where should I turn to
I have no one left but You
I just want to be with You

Fat, fat mama
Sweet, sweet sister
You’re full of blisters
It’s natural to cry
Let them kill you
Then they won’t thrill you
No reason to hide
You’re a new human being
Still you’re sliding from side to side
The road on which you are walking
Is going so straight so I got to wonder why
You haven’t found your place in life
Dear, dear brother
Why are you bothered?
He’s defeated you know
Get your shoes, shield and helmet
Your sword, armor and belt
Your faith will grow
You’re getting older and older
Still you’re resting day after day
Why can’t you see that your right place
Is not on the couch you should be in a fight
You got to find your place in life
Life can be hard to live
You don’t know when to weep in grief
Or shout of joy
You just got to give it all

Free
You have been down
And you know I've been there too
But there is joy available for me and you
For way too long now I've just been staring down the pit
Until He lifted my eyes, and now I have to admit
That I see
I can see, see that Jesus calls me to be free
I don't have to do anything on my own
I don't know where you are
But I know where you can be
There's a condition that will last for eternity
He has the strength you need to proceed
He's asking: "Get down on your knee, Let me humble thee"
Now there is peace available
Now there is joy available
If you just open your eyes
You will see
You will see, see how Jesus calls you to be free
You don't have to do anything on our own

Hos Dig
Hos dig min Gud är jag trygg
Hos dig Jesus min herre
Hos dig har min själ sin ro
Hos dig Jesus min herre
Jag har sökt i hela mitt liv
Efter något som kan ge mig frid
Jag har letat under stock och sten
Men inget ger mig ro som du
Du är med mig hela mitt liv
Även då mitt liv kan kännas tomt
Du står alltid där vid min sida
Jag vilar alltid trygg i din famn
Du leder mig ständigt
På rätta vägar
Hos dig är jag alltid trygg
För all evig tid

I met Your love
Didn’t see it coming
Like a storm way too near
Before I became aware
You turned my world upside down
Didn’t see it coming
Your storm was way too near
Before I became aware
You turned my world upside down
When I saw You coming
I tried to hide away
Just couldn’t realize
That the love You feel for me
Could forever set me free
I met Your love and it broke me
I was blind but now I see
From the dead You lifted me up again
Now my spirit lives for real
I’m no longer running
When I feel You coming near
I’m no longer scared
You turned my world upside down
And now I see You coming
I won’t hide away
I now realize
(that) The love You feel for me
Has forever set me free
I met Your love and it broke me
I was blind but now I see
From the dead You lifted me up again
Now my spirit lives for real
Bye bye old life here our roads divides
From now on my Jesus leads my life
I’ve found God and I will never ever let go
Of Jesus, no I never will
Thanks to Your love my whole life is new
Precious Jesus I love You
You bore the cross and took my shame away
By Your side I’ll always stay
By Your side I’ll always stay
By Your side I’ll always stay

Kärleksfull Gud
När jag ser mig runt omkring
Ser på allt det vackra Du skapat
Då upphör jag aldrig förvånas
Över Din enorma kärlek mot mig
Du ger mig bara goda gåvor
I Din kärlek vill jag alltid förbli
Min längtan är att få tjäna Dig
Min längtan är att få tillbe Dig
Men min största längtan är att få älska som Du älskat mig
Jag är inte värd att få kallas Ditt barn
Jag är inte värd att få tillhöra Dig
Men Du möter mig med öppen famn
Och förlåter när jag ångrar mig
Din nåd är stor, den kan aldrig ta slut
I Din kärlek vill jag alltid förbli
Vad skulle hända om jag ej hadde Dig?
Vad skulle livet ha för mening?
Jag är så glad att jag får tillhöra Dig
Och att jag alltid får komma till Dig
Nu när jag smakat på livet med Dig
Kan ingenting få mig att någonsin lämna Dig

Pay attention
Pay attention
I've got something to say
You may not like it
But I'll tell you anyway
There's a God
There's a God
There's a God
And He loves you

The Messiah
In a lost and dying world
A voice is being heard
He proclaims to be the way
But no one knows He’s there to stay
And His words echo ‘til today
He was (the) Messiah, Son of God
He was the sacrifice required
Filled with sin, yet so clean
I am free, ‘cause He conquered me
So you’re wondering, "Who is this man?
Doesn’t seem to have a plan…"
You notice that the sick are being healed
And He criticizes the teachers you believed
"But that thing ‘bout walkin’ on water, how could it be real?!?"
He’s not just liked
They want to end His life
He doesn’t even claim His innocence
But we know He hasn’t committed one offence
Now you say that He was crucified
Yes, it’s true, Jesus died
But an angel rolled away the stone
And now He sits next to His Fathers throne
And I don’t have to walk this world alone!
He's the Messiah
He is God
He became the sacrifice required
Now He reigns from heaven above
And He lives inside my heart

Weather
They scourged You, and gave You a purple robe
They put on You a crown of thorns
They parted Your garments among them
And they nailed You to a tree
I will always serve You
All my praises I give to Thee
When the weather is just fine
I will serve You in the sun
When the weather seemes so bad
I'll make You happy in the rain
But I can't do it on my own
You are the source to all my strength
And through all kind of weathers -You reign
They put a sign above Your head
"Jesus from Nazareth, King of the Jews"
And as all sins and sorrows of the world
Gathered like clouds upon Your shoulders
You shouted it's finished
And in the temple the veil rent in twain
And the contact we once had with God was restored
Nothing could ever stop us
We're giving our lives to You
You are my everything
You are my reason for living
What You did for me upon the cross that evening
I could never understand
And when You three days later rose from the grave and death
You had the keys of hell and of death
And forever You shall reign
And we will always sing
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy is the lamb
