Words & Music by John Mandeville & Steve Siler
There's a lingerie ad writhing on TV
And a bikini billboard interrupting me
There's a hundred ways to stumble on the cable
And alluring models on every coffee table
Sometimes it seems like there's no escape
But it's a choice, so starting here today
I commit my eyes
I commit my eyes
I'm drawing a line in the sand
I will look away
Turn my eyes in faith
And redefine what it means to be a man
Trusting what you have for me is so much more
I commit my eyes to you Lord
Now I'm building up a line of defenses
Cause I know this fight is going to be relentless
There is no room for making comprises
With the voices that go back and forth inside us
The so called pleasure only leads to pain
True passion isn't poison to my brain, so
CHORUS
Unless I starve my eyes from sexual sin
I'll never see what's truly beautiful again
CHORUS
I commit my eyes to you Lord

EVERY MAN'S BATTLE

Words & Music by Chad Cates, Steve Siler, & John Mandeville
The wave keeps coming at you
Sometimes it feels like you might drown
But it's a lie to believe
that there is no way out
Cause there's a Father who loves you
& he's throwing you a rope
There's such a hope in knowing
We're not in this alone
It's every man's battle
Let's fight this thing together
Live out in the open
And stand each other's ground
Confess our deepest secrets
Break our darkest habits
Hold every single thought captive
And turn this thing around
Together we can
Cause it's every man, every man's battle
It's a war that we'll keep winning
One temptation at a time
As we encourage one another
To redirect our eyes
We'll seek the road that's higher
with our minds and hearts
Vigilant and faithful
Brothers on our guard
CHORUS
Let's be a stand up generation
For all men yet to come
And live a Holy standard
Every father, every son

I'm not fighting anymore
I stopped trying
Yeah I've burned all the ammunition that kept me at war
I'm not weary anymore
I've stopped trying
Trying to live up to expectations
That weren't even mine
I'm free
Finally free
Oh I'm free from the pain and confusion
Thought I'd never be
Yeah I'm free
So free
Made my way through the lies and delusion
To this sweet release
I'm free
I'm not tortured anymore
Got no secrets
I've come clean with the dark obsessions
That haunted my life
I'm not lonely anymore
I've stopped hiding
Yeah I've opened my heart to the passion
That burns in your eyes
CHORUS
And I can't explain
what you've done for me baby
with a love that dared to believe
with a love that really believes
CHORUS
TRAITOR
CLICK TO BUY
Words & Music by Steve Siler & John Mandeville
I'm in church on Sunday morning
Got the family and the new SUV
Your co-worker and your neighbor
I'm exactly who you think I should be
But my eyes feast where none can see
On visual profanity
I'm a traitor
A betrayer
A double minded-man
I'm a liar
A decay-er of everything I stand for
A voyeur in the dark
An adulterer of the heart
I'm a traitor
A traitor
I committed to be faithful
To keep my passion only for her
Now I'm surfing while she's sleeping
Trusting that our bed is still pure
I've taken what was intimate
And carelessly polluted it
CHORUS
I feel like I'm drowning
Out of control
Like an addict who needs a fix
Selling my soul for the counterfeit high
In these pictures and pixels
God I want to pray to you
But it feels like you wouldn't want me to

ALL OF ME
CLICK TO BUY
Words & Music by Kent Hooper, Scott Krippayne, & Steve Siler
No one's watching
Now I'll find out if you're real to me
Will I love you
Or give into something less in me
How long will mistakes keep rehearsing?
Jesus, I've taken liberties with your mercy
All of Me
I need to surrender all my favorite sins
Let you into places I have never let you in
I come clean
Lord take all of me
You know my hand
All the cards I never show the world
No more bluffing
I cast down these artifical pearls
Deeply, I know that's how I have hurt you
Completely, Starting now that's how I want to serve you
CHORUS

NEVER SHAKE HIS HAND
CLICK TO BUY
Words & Music by Rick Altizer
Never shake his hand
Although he asks you please
Never shake his hand
Or you'll catch his disease
It's hard to gauge the power he commands
You can never shake his hand
Never shake his hand
In the loneliness of night
Never shake his hand
Although it feels so right
You must beware of the things that you demand
You can never shake his hand
Never shake his hand
You're no match for his grip
Never shake his hand
You can't give him the slip
It only takes one touch to understand
You can never shake his hand
Never shake his hand
You'll find he sticks to you
Never shake his hand
He's something like the flu
He's introduced as an honest man
He'll recommend a subtle change in plans
And then he'll leave you wasted in the sand
You can never shake his hand

SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER
CLICK TO BUY
Words & Music by John Mandeville & Steve Siler
The moment she was born
Her mommy and daddy cried
Taken by the wonder of life
From Barbie dolls to ballet shoes
From roller skates to lipstick and rouge
She's become a lady overnight
Why do I see only flesh and look right past her heart
I try to tell myself I can't help what I feel - then I remember
She's somebody's daughter
Somebody's child
Somebody's pride and joy
Somebody loves her for who she is inside
She has a mother and father
She's somebody's daughter
You knit her together
Your cherished creation
Made her body a temple for the soul
Why can't I appreciate
The beauty that your hands have made
And maintain my self control
'Cause when I see only flesh you're looking at her heart
There is so much more to her than meets the eye - I need to remember
CHORUS
Heaven's own precious child
A person full of worth and dignity
When her beauty is defiled
I demean us both and fail to see
Shes somebody's daughter
Somebody's child
Somebody's pride and joy
Somebody loves her for who she is inside
She has a mother and father
She's somebody's daughter
She has a heavenly father
She's somebody's daughter
