Lyrics:
What is my life worth?
Just living from breakthrough to breakthrough?
(sigh) A constant hope for a miracle?
I live in these days of darkness
I smell my desperation of things prayed for but not yet received
Like, "pass me not oh gentle Saviour", but He does not seem to hear my cry.

I... I celebrate with you my sister with new child,
My brother with new car,
And then I walk home afterwards alone, hungry, childless
Being beaten by emptiness is not enough, I even get beaten by rain
Emphasizing my pain (sigh)

Still I'm supposed to remain joyful?
Everything is bitter around me but I'm the salt of the earth?
I understand we aren't Christian to only be happy,
I mean... Jesus was killed at thirty three,
But what is our life's worth?
Pilgrims progress, the Christian's war
and this song... the one for the future

A New Beginning
A brand new life
Lord we wait
To touch the sky
A new season
To commence the time
And that One day
When we shall rise

Welcome to Floodgates
(The beginning, the beginning of the overflow)
The new overflow
(The beginning, the beginning of the overflow)
Welcome to Floodgates
(The beginning, the beginning of the overflow)
The new overflow
(The beginning, the beginning of the overflow)

And just like that it started
Not like mercy drops round me were falling
No, mighty heavy showers on me fell
I have robes of a million colours, more than enough to drink and to eat
It's like butter lines the soles of my feet
I smell the rain, even as I feel the pain
I smell future and lushness and greens and hopes and great dreams,
In the place that my heart goes, that seat place before the fire of the Almighty
The place of the Holy Spirit
I'm reminded of things told me from the past
This prophesy... and though bitter is what my life tastes like today I laugh
Because tomorrow holds for all of us a belly-full day!
But what are our lives worth?
Only breakthroughs and after breaking through
Do you see through this sign
and this symbol of a time to come?
We walk in eternal life on this earth,
The prophesy of eternity; do you feel the breeze?
I hear trumpets and the sound of returning
Heaven is calling
We will rejoice in the final breakthrough when our walk here is done!
Golden streets, singing beings, precious things beyond words and sights
These flights of wings attaining altitudes only ever experienced in fourth dimension dreams
See my brothers to my left, friends and family to the right
Angels in between we are flying!
and we can be seen... sad for those left behind
Yet exhilarating these sights
Mountain tops we leave behind
Heaven is calling
I see Jesus!
Did you hear what I said...?
I see Jesus!
Glorious! Sword bearing from His mouth
Eyes burning with gold and bright!
A thousand waters flood through my ears
"Welcome" He said... Ooooohhhh we are here!
Ooooooohh we are here!
In the overflow
We are here...
In the overflow
We are here...
We are here in the overflow
Ah... man, Ah... Men,
Amen!
