ACT OF SURRENDER (I WILL BOW) (radio mix)
words and music: Scott C. Riggan
(c) 2008 Spinning Plates Music
from the EP "Act of Surrender"
Knees to the ground / Hands in the air
This is my act of surrender
It's more than a song / Or the words of a prayer
This is my act of surrender
And starting now
I will bow down / I will bow down
I will bow down before You
And starting now
I will bow
All that I am / All that I've been
I lay it all down / At the feet of my King
And starting now
I will bow...

MRS. TAYLOR
words and music by Jason Collum and Paul Alan

from the EP "Act of Surrender"
She left him at the station
Small town Illinois
He’s 6-1 and 205 now
But he’ll always be her little boy
She knew this was his calling
She was strong as she could’ve been
She prayed for extra angels
To bring him home again
So if you raise your glass to freedom
And this land we hold so dear
If you don’t know what it’s like
Living every day in fear
If you raise your voice to city hall
‘cause you’re free to speak your mind
And sing Amazing Grace on Sunday
With your family by your side
Remember Mrs. Taylor’s son
And pray he’s somewhere safe tonight
She carries a faded picture
From when he was only two
And remembers how she melted
When he said his first “I love you”
Some think he’s a hero
And some make picket signs
She just turns the TV down
And thinks of better times
They fired 21 guns on Tuesday
And laid a flag in the trembling hands
Of one more American mother
Who gave all a mother can
Remember Maggie Taylor
And pray that she finds peace tonight

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice
In a church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at her window
Wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong
Ahh – look at all the lonely people
Father Mackinzie, writing the words
To a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
In the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father Mackinzie, wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong
Ah, look at all the lonely people

WHERE MERCY LIVES
words and music by Scott C. Riggan and Benjamin D. Bauman

from the EP "Act of Surrender"
Sometimes I want to shield my eyes
So I don’t have to see
The way we live our lives
Without mercy
Tell me, where do we find peace
When love is withheld
Where bitterness runs deep
Deep as a well
But oh, when love takes hold
It leads us down the road
To where mercy lives
And where beauty grows
Where foolish things
Can’t come between us anymore
Where mercy lives
And where grace is known
That is the place that I call home
Where mercy lives
Oh see the loving hands
That reach with grace
And see the tender eyes
And the tear-stained face
Forgiveness – it is the bridge
That brings my heart to yours
Mercy is a gift that is undeserved
And oh, when loves takes hold
It leads us down the road
Down the road to where mercy lives…
And oh, remember this
Oh, in the heart that forgives
That’s where mercy lives
Oh let my heart become the home
Where mercy lives

"A musical home run . . . perfect for personal worship - songs with a theology of abandon that call us to give all we are to
God." (Worship Leader Magazine)
“For those who are tired of Christian records that sound increasingly homogenized and mass-produced, Clouds & Fire is a balm from Heaven." (Christian Musician Magazine)
