Stay With Me 04:15
Stay With Me By Adam Joshua Castro -Verse 1- Give me truth to believe in I’ve got so many things on my heart that just don’t belong It’s time to step back, stop singing the same song The same words that prove me wrong -Verse 2- “I’m sorry” doesn’t mean a thing When I fail to keep the same things from happening God I need change, I need you to save me (I need you to save me) You have never led me astray, and I need this doubt to go away -Chorus- Stay with me, and lead me through the dark Into the great unknown that sanctifies my heart Stay with me, I need You to save me And give me the strength to carry on -Verse 3- My understanding has failed me again Need to surrender my pride, and walk away from the sin Cuz I’ve been led astray by my own sanity And I’m in desperate need of some clarity -Verse 4- So give me truth to believe in I’ve got so many things on my mind That I need to leave behind me Save me from myself CHORUS -Bridge- I lean on You, My Hope and Truth God take my fear away You have never led me astray, I pray this doubt goes away You have never led me astray, Oh God, take the fear away! CHORUS

Hold Me Close By Adam Joshua Castro -Verse 1- I hear You calling me Out of my fallacy Back to Reality Who I am called to be The path before my eyes Leads into darkened skies But I will never hide This fire that burns inside -Pre-Chorus- So tired of running Myself to the ground But I know its on your knees Where the lost are found So I'll capture this moment As you capture me -Chorus- So Hold Me Close Hold Me Close So I will not fall astray -Verse 2- My flesh, my enemy Corrupts the best of me But I have security Knowing your here with me The path before my eyes Leads into darkened skies But I will never hide This fire that burns inside CHORUS PRE-CHORUS CHORUS

I Count As Loss By Adam Joshua Castro -Verse 1- I’m finally here at the end of my rope Cuz its easier to kill than to cope. When I let go of everything that I know. I find I should have held onto my hope. When I take matters into my own hands Role the dice just to see where it lands You let me know You’re in control of it all. So drop the cards and lets see where they fall. -Chorus- Everything I have I count as loss Compared to knowing you. I lay my burdens at the Cross So lead me to Your Truth -Verse 2- The decision’s made, to follow through or just fold Better to fight than to do what you’re told So I will stand, unafraid with no shame Cuz in the end, this is more than just a game My Life is on the Line And I know the fault is mine So take my life as Your own Nothing can pay for all the love that you’ve shown! CHORUS -Bridge- Oh God, Just take it all My pride and my ev-er-y flaw x2 CHORUS

She Doesn’t Wanna Let Go By Downcast -Interlude- Oh No, She Doesn’t Wanna Let Go (x5) Doesn’t She know that, doesn’t she know that she’ll drown!? -Verse 1- I found a secret that they tried to hide That they tried to hide from your eyes All the fables they’re telling, you fall for it All these lies that they’re selling are counterfeit to the touch. And I learned of plans to destroy and deceive So I suggest it best if we both leave But you Iron your arms, cling to ships that bleed Too afraid to fall, but that’s exactly here this will lead -Chorus- I don’t want this blood on my hands But you’re leaving me no other choice so here’s my plan I’m leaving and I’ll never look back If this is what you decide, well at least you know I tried -Interlude- -Verse 2- I tried to save you from this But now you’re in the abyss You’re now consumed inside your own affliction You’re drowning into the deep But I pray you wake from this sleep And that you come back to your senses once again! -Bridge- I found a secret that they tried to hide And darling you fell for it, you fell for it… And there’s no going back. I tried to bring you back to the truth But you wouldn’t listen to any reproof The seed has been sowed, the path has been shown So now, I’ll leave you alone -Interlude-

Not Tonight 04:08
Not Tonight By Adam Joshua Castro -Verse 1- You left me for dead, where I was misled, Thought feelings were from the heart, but they were all in my head. How could I mishear, every word that was said? I guess they were meant for someone else instead… -Verse 2- How could you leave? How could you go? No explanation, no reason to show… How could you leave? Where did you go? (A telephone call in the middle of late afternoon, is what broke my heart A Telephone call in the middle of late afternoon) -Chorus- Is this a nightmare? Is this a dream? I have lost everything, or so it may seem I cannot force you to stand by my side All that I ask dear is “Please not tonight” -Bridge- Do you remember?…Late in December… Our love burned like ember… Burning so bright, from the outside… Do you remember…Late in December Laughing and crying and living and dying And this heart is trying but there’s no denying! (All I have left are these pictures and memories And they feel like daisies fading away in the breeze All of these pictures and memories of you and I together. All I have left are these pictures and memories And they feel like daisies fading away in the breeze All of this living and dying and this heart is trying but…) CHORUS How could you leave? How could you go? No explanation no reason to show… Maybe one day, I will know (I am still praying that this is all just a dream And that by morning, you’ll return to me. And if I ask you to come home Please don’t say no…)

Downcast 04:45
Downcast By Adam Joshua Castro -Verse 1- Wretched, beyond all belief Wasted, Awaiting Relief But for now, I am the Downcast Helpless, Still in Distress Hopeless, Have nothing left 'Cause right now, I am the Downcast -Chorus- I’m the abandoned, I am the broken man I am the lost, I am the lonely I am the fallen king In need of a Savior, In need of release I wanna leave my pain in the past But for now, I am the Downcast -Verse 2- Captive, Alone and Afraid But Covered, by Blood that paid it all 'Cause I am the Downcast -Verse 3- Though I am weary and weak in the night You teach me to walk by my faith not my sight! CHORUS -Bridge- The stains of my past, they just wont go away The memory of all that had led me astray But I know that your grace is sufficient enough save me CHORUS

I Don’t Deserve By Adam Joshua Castro -Verse 1- I wish I could take away the memories of yesterday But my faults seem to remain There is nothing I can do to take away the things that I’ve done Oh God, What are You to do with Your son? -Chorus- I don’t deserve any form of love that You have I don’t deserve the blood You spilled on my behalf I’m on my knees, praying that this is enough I give my life to you oh God Cuz I know, without You I’m nothing at all -Bridge- I pray that this I pray that this is enough CHORUS x2 (I’m nothing at all)

Save Me (Father) By Adam Joshua Castro -Chorus 1- Father would You let me live? Father would You forgive? Father would You break me, of all my indiscretions? x2 -Chorus 2- ‘Cause I’m so sick of all I’ve done My candle’s lit, but it can’t outshine the sun So here I am, and here’s my hand I’m reaching out to You the only One who can Save Me -Verse 1- What if I didn’t trust You? What if I doubted everything? What if my flesh was able, but never willing? What if I sinned against You? What if I fell to the floor? What if I didn’t listen, but chose to ignore? CHORUS 1/2 What if I failed to follow? What if I turned the other way? What if I clung to those who would lead me astray? What if I sought my own path? What if I cared for none at all? What if your love was able to break through my walls? CHORUS 1/2 (Father, Save me from myself) (Stay with me) (Hold me closer) Father would You let me live? Father would You forgive? Father would You break me, of all of my transgressions?
