He Saves 04:21
VERSE our fall we see it in the way we fight for self our light gave death the call he's often given out our foe has had his trophy stripped by the all-wise our past has sunk through darkened seas, never to rise CHORUS he saves he saves and all of it by grace his throne is in the sky and in the tomb he saves he saves and all of it by grace his throne is here and yet it's coming soon VERSE 2 a hope, that fires cannot scorch or waters drown we all will know the grace or wrath of his good crown an end, to all the things not right, made new again we've held the truth in fickle hearts, and want it plain BRIDGE our sands are his mountain our beads of sweat, his ocean our efforts will not do
2.
I Need You 04:51
VERSE I want to learn to walk and follow all your ways your word is like a shining guide through dying days my heart is so deceitful lying to my face tells me all the things I want besides your saving grace CHORUS Oh I need you Lord I need you the one who calmed the storms to calm the storms in me Oh I need you Lord I need you the one who is the light to light the dark in me VERSE 2 I taste a hint of death on every single breath and I shuffle tired feet with every single step but I'll trust in you, your word, your life, your promises my glory and the lifter of my head BRIDGE Irrevocable and strong are your covenants oh God and the love that you have shown is the only hope I own set my gaze upon the cross and rejoice at satan's loss for my victory is won by my Savior, God the Son
3.
VERSE some would say our sin is small the cross is long ago his love is false and he has turned away He would say our sin is great the cross is where we see his love is near and he has reached to me. CHORUS my soul knows there are no chains that hold me if the father holds me He holds me oh oh (repeat) VERSE 2 my foe will say you've lost the race you've wandered far from home you don't deserve another day of grace i will say you words are right but you forget the rest the Son was slain and rose against your death BRIDGE my past has weighed me down my sin has brought on death but he called me his own and brought me home instead CHORUS 2 my soul knows, doubts will rise inside me but my savior will guide me my soul knows, there are no sins that haunt me if the father wants me, He wants me
4.
Sunken Pages 04:10
VERSE a stone inside enough left for my flesh to hide curse myself and then the skies I muddle lies and truth you pulled me out of all my vanity and doubt but mirrors and questions hang about they blur my sight of you CHORUS its harder than I thought it would be VERSE 2 my best support to sit and see that i am yours to sit and be your child adored the mist and fog ascends i read each line but i forget in equal time the truth you've made and sealed as mine i clutch and drop again VERSE 3 and now i stand on gold with light around my head i see his face and see his hands my joy is made complete and now i find that i now can't recall to mind the falls and all the tears i cried those books sank in the sea
5.
VERSE Marvelous grace of our loving Lord Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt Over on cal - vary's mount out poured there where the blood of the lamb was spilt VERSE 2 Dark is the stain that we cannot hide Who can succeed to wash it away? Favor is ours, an unceasing tide Pure as the snow my soul's been made CHORUS Grace, Grace, Oh God's Grace Grace that will pardon and cleanse within Grace, Grace, Oh God's Grace Grace that is greater than all our sin VERSE 3 Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold threaten the soul with infinite loss The Son achieved, the good Father's goal The Spirit seals, those behind the Cross
6.
VERSE Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See Him dy—ing on the tree! it's the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, it's He, it's He! It's the long expected prophet, David’s Son, yet David’s Lord; By His Son, God now has spoken: He's the true and faithful Word. CHORUS pierced and crushed for our peace by his wounds we're healed the Father gave, His son to save the Spirit he has sealed VERSE 2 You who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great, Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the Sacrifice appointed! See Who bears the awful load! ’Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed, Son of Man, and Son of God VERSE 3 Lamb of God for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built. BRIDGE Here we have a firm foundation, Here the refuge of the lost. Christ’s the Rock of our salvation, His the Name of which we boast
7.
VERSE the same to save us, is strong to keep under the care of our good King no one can take us out from his hand yet we still fight what wars within CHORUS we are quick to stray you are good to save keep saving us we are quick to stray you are good to save VERSE 2 His heart is hunting as it gives chase our sin and doubt can not keep pace He can awaken that which has died we are the scent of Life inside BRIDGE Breathe out the death and don't try to keep it in you're suffocating the natural sequence breathe in the life he gives open your mouth again and let the light pour in He keeps on saving
8.
VERSE I am a sparrow, and sitting alone atop a place that's not my own My pain is burning my life an evening where is my dawn? when can faith be seeing? CHORUS These things will not remain His love remains, I am broken, but I am hopeful VERSE 2 I have been lifted I have been shaken and I crashed down from where I was taken Your face is hidden your strength delayed these shortened days now feel suff-o-cating BRIDGE/OUTRO these things will not remain his love remains, Oh my God, take me not away

about

"This record is absolutely beautiful! The sounds of Zimmerman are so fresh, and the lyrics stir the soul. Seriously, I cannot stop listening to “Sunken Pages” and “I Am Broken.” Loving this record!"
Aaron Ivey - Austin Stone

It's engaging and honest, yet perhaps most notably, it’s compelling. There is weightiness both in it’s lyrical content and in it’s art. The evident conviction that sits in the depths of Donald’s voice as he shouts “He saves! He saves!” is a powerful display of what this band is truly all about. 'Hopefully Broken' is the wonderfully crafted work of skillful musicians who clearly find joy in singing the gospel story. This album will be a gift for many as it has been for me, and for that I’ve very thankful.
Zach Bolen - Citizens & Saints
