The Friend & True King - EP

Written By Vian Izak

Lyrics

  • Brought into this life free of care
    Then you learn as you grow that there’s so much to fear
    Take some risks maybe stumble on love
    Still we all fall short of the glory of
    God

    So it goes
    And it don’t go slow
    You blink and the dreams
    that you had are now old

    So it goes
    And before you know
    You see that the past
    is a small distant glow

    Winter winds feel like
    Old broken love
    How you mightily fought against
    All of your flaws
    Sometimes hope cracks like
    Dry crumbling leaves
    And you bury your hurts
    So that no one can see

  • You’re searching for gold
    In a world that’s gone broke
    No peace of mind
    So far from fine
    You’re looking for more
    Than just keeping score
    So far from fine

    Everything here that shatters
    Everything here that shines
    I’m telling you all of it matters
    I’m telling you every time
    Every time you’re heart’s breaking
    Every soul you see aching
    When it’s all too much
    Help us remember
    We’re made in the image of…
    In the image of…
    In the image of love

    You want to connect
    But you’re stuck in your head
    No peace of mind
    So far from fine
    But there’s meaning in the pain
    And a world of love to gain

  • Unending war
    In my head
    When I just want peace
    White flags in the air
    Will love win?
    Questioned prayer
    When all feels lost
    I’m overwhelmed and scared

    Oh the heart
    Knows it’s hurts
    When its traveled far
    With heavy burden
    Love will win
    So they say
    Things are hard
    Till they break

    I’m gonna let light in
    So love can win
    I’m gonna let light in
    So love can win
    Cause alone I’m in the dark
    Alone I won’t get far

  • Memory serves me
    As the Freeze breaks free
    I’ve heard that love consumes
    Like a raging flame
    I’ve heard that love can soothe
    Like the sweetest rain

    Take all my warmth and let it be yours
    Take all my heart and let it be yours

    Winter breeze blowing
    Make a wish cause it’s snowing
    Wishing that love consumes
    Like a raging flame
    Wishing that love will soothe
    Like the sweetest rain

  • Another year did not last
    Hopes that lived have now passed
    Another year has gone by
    A few hellos and goodbyes

    Aging treads a slow pace
    But in a blink I’m old faced
    As the winter brings cold
    And makes heavy this world
    On this darkest night

    A top the tree set lights
    We will sing out loud
    Christ has risen now
    On this darkest night sing
    To the friend and true king

    And in some ways we’ve changed
    But our sins still remain
    Your forgiveness brings warmth
    For auld lang syne sing once more
