Always the Same
By Matthew Perryman Jones

You came to rescue me
But I just ran away
But you ran after me
You found my hiding place
You looked into my eyes
Broke right through the lie
I’ve been believing all this time

CHORUS
And you gave me love, amazing love
A never changing love, always the same
Oh a saving love, amazing love, always the same

You brought me to a place
Where I could find some rest
But I would question grace
Afraid of all my mess
I thought you’d run away
Leave me in my shame
But you’ve been with me all this time

CHORUS

And though I run away, I can’t escape
On your hands my name you can’t erase, can’t erase

CHORUS (x2)

It’s always the same

Heaven Knows
By Matthew Perryman Jones

There beside a cold and lonley sea
Blackness hides it secrets deep
And miles below, like a hidden pain
Eternal night that is thick with shame
Oh, there’s no darkeness deeper than a human heart nor eye can see
Heaven knows what’s inside of me

So chase the wind where the stars were hung
I sang the songs till were all were song
Drank this world to get my fill
It wet my tongue but I’m thirsty still
Oh, what will let my heart run free
Break these chains deep inside of me
If heaven knows, lord I cannot see

Burning sun fell through a blinding mist
It broke the ground with gentle fists
Beneath the sky wide and full of grace
A ruthless trust filled this faithless place
Oh, there’s no love that deeper be
Human heart nor eye can see

Heaven knows what it’s given me
Heaven knows what it’s given me

In the Silence
By Matthew Perryman Jones

And as I question what is real
I tend to lean on how I feel
And such darkness seems to break my soul
And as I wrestle with your voice
It’s bidding me to make a choice
And I can find no comfort anywhere

Speak to me with love and grace
Draw me more to seek your face
And open up this heart of mine
That I would seek, so I can find
All the love that’s in your heart
And the grace that you impart
Oh, make this my soul’s reality

CHORUS
Oh, still my soul
In the silence make me whole
Oh, embrace my heart, so that cannot depart
Oh, still my soul

I come to you a wretched man
And I ask you just who I am
And you say I’m a beloved child
And no, I cannot understand
Why you keep me in your hand
Why your grace still upholds my soul

And I am ravaged by your voice
You are now my only choice
Invade my heart with love divine
You made me yours, I make you mine
Keep me here within your grace
Cause I love to see your face
You are truly my reality

CHORUS

And in the silence where the darkness grows
Of the truth of what’s in me
A gentle whisper wraps around my soul
And holds me to set me free
Oh, oh…

CHORUS

…My soul
Still my soul…
…My soul
Still my soul…
Still my soul…
Still my soul…
My soul…
