The broken and abused The lost, the hurt, confused The sinners or ones used Heaven, hear our voice Addicted and depraved Religious and unsaved The blinded or enslaved Heaven, hear our voice Oh, Welcome home, Oh, welcome home The broken and abused The lost, the hurt, confused The sinners or ones used Heaven, hear our voice Addicted and depraved Religious and unsaved The blinded or enslaved Heaven, hear our voice The cries of the orphan fills the ocean As heaven dries each drop of their tears The voice of the widow rings like thunder As heaven sings each word of her prayer Oh, Welcome home, Oh, welcome home A suffering servant bruised and torn For this reason you were born You set our hearts right and true So we could find a home in you Show our love to the least of these With this religion God is pleased...

In the dark of doubt, I’m closer to good news For it takes a broken heart To finally hear the truth A prodigal I am, reaching for the father’s hand Grace, grace you found me From my shame now I’m set free Grace, grace you saved me From my blindness now I can see, grace I see grace Your favor can’t be earned My efforts fall in vain For I have a broken heart And, I’m the one to blame A prodigal I am, reaching for the father’s hand Grace, grace you found me From my shame now I’m set free Grace, grace you saved me From my blindness now I can see, grace I see grace

Sacred Place 04:11
Approach with confidence, Your throne takes no offense My help comes from this sacred place Invite me as a friend and sweetly offer me this grace From the walls of the cathedral Let my heart echo your praise From the heights of the steeple Let my thoughts of you be raised Approach with confidence, Your throne takes no offense My help comes from this sacred place Invite me as a friend and sweetly offer me this grace From the walls of the cathedral Let my heart echo your praise From the heights of the steeple Let my thoughts of you be raised The temple veil was torn in two I run to the mercy seat Into the Holy of Holies To get the help I need! From the walls of the cathedral Let my heart echo your praise From the heights of the steeple Let my thoughts of you be raised ...My help comes from this sacred place.

I thirst in the desert no food or no rain I pray for revival, a mountain top change This journey will lead me, from valley to hill Will I count all as lost and eat my soul’s fill? My soul’s fill? Drink the divine, end your starvation take in the pure wine Drink the divine, a mystical union with Jesus the Vine It's not just commitment or the good that I do Or knowledge of theories that make my life true It's you and you Jesus, I need to embrace Rejecting my ways and accepting your grace Your grace Drink the divine, end your starvation take in the pure wine Drink the divine, a mystical union with Jesus the Vine Religion’s elixir will waste us away But the lifeblood of Jesus empowers today! Religion’s elixir will waste us away But the lifeblood of Jesus empowers today! We drink from his cup and we eat of his bread He said “it is finished” the Old Man is dead We drink from his cup and we eat of his bread He said “it is finished” the Old Man is dead Drink the divine, end your starvation take in the pure wine Drink the divine, a mystical union with Jesus the Vine

I’m just a stitch in God’s tapestry Through the marking of passing time I’m being weaved in history With providence it all makes sense With providence it all makes sense A scarlet thread, the redeemer’s plan We see a holy and loving God Simply reaching out his hand With providence it all makes sense With providence it all makes sense Nations will rise, nations will fall Kings will come and kings will go But one thing for certain, All of history will show The simple fact, our God is in control Our God is in control When trials come, why be tattered by our fears The choice is our to trust a God Who keeps and counts our tears With providence it all makes sense With providence it all makes sense Nations will rise, nations will fall Kings will come and kings will go But one thing for certain, All of history will show The simple fact, our God is in control Our God is in control Unraveled lives, desperate people make their plea Adjusting to God’s grand design means no guarantees I walk by faith and not by sight And, as I take each step I see the face of Christ Nations will rise, nations will fall Kings will come and kings will go But one thing for certain, All of history will show The simple fact, our God is in control Our God is in control

about

I wrote these five songs in the context of being a worship leader and worshiper. What is true religion and how does that come across in what we sing to God? My journey is not complete, but I am learning that much of what I thought was “true” was just a hollow piety, starving my life from the one who is my life. Jesus. I hope you discover with me the sacred place where the help that we need exists. Grace.

- Rich
