    Maybe I'm showing my age, but I always loved getting a physical CD. There's something so direct to me about holding an album in your hands, it feels like you actually own it. If you're one of those people who feel that way, then this is for you.

Love is like an ocean, like a brilliant midnight sky, a diamond born to shine without a sun. I’ve seen it in the mystery and I’ve seen it in the calm. I’ve seen it when I did not look at all. It brings my heart to wonder, it drops me to my knees. Love demands I give my everything. I’ll lose myself to find it, lose this world that I call home. I’ll run until I finally reach that goal. I will see, I will see. I will know as I am known. Every day, every breath you have treasured close. I am yours and you are mine, and we’re tied for all of time. A moment from forever home with you, home with you. Nearer than the morning, closer than my heart. Never will my eyes see the night. I’m caught up in your glory as your perfect love surrounds and fills me till I cannot hold it in. I’ll reach up with these tired hands and touch the face of God, my Lord who loved and gave himself for me. His sacrifice is my life, He lives so I can too. Desperate is my heart for only you, for only you. I will see, I will see. I will know as I am known. Every day, every breath you have treasured close. I am yours and you are mine, and we’re tied for all of time. A moment from forever home with you, home with you.

As you go before me you surround. This paradox is where I’m found. I’m freed to give my life away, to you who raised me from the grave. Trace the path back to the start, where you formed my every part. Breathed into these dust made lungs, life that cannot be undone. I hear you calling out. You left me with no doubt. I am yours forevermore. I am yours forever Lord. Your words have cut my heart and mind. I’m opened up I have no fight. Relentlessly your love pursued until my heart could not refuse. All around me tempests raged. You called me out upon the waves. Forgiveness came down like a flood, washed me onto shores of love. This love comes with burning lungs. A race that’s won yet must be run. With a fire blue inside my heart, I will rush to where you are. I hear you calling out. You left me with no doubt. I am yours forevermore. I am yours forever Lord. Glory in his majesty. Wonder in the mystery. Love divine beyond all time, lives within this heart of mine. Glory in his majesty. Wonder in the mystery. Love divine beyond all time, lives within this heart of mine. I hear you calling out. You left me with no doubt. I am yours forevermore. I am yours forever Lord. I hear you calling out. You left me with no doubt. I am yours forevermore. I am yours forever Lord.

Oh that my words would shine like the stars. I’d sing you a song that lights up the dark. Your praise like fire bringing the sky to life. My one desire, you glorified. Every phrase would display the shape and the sight of all that’s unseen, all that you are. Glories on glories the heights yet untold. All of my cries, you’re holding them close. The picture you’re painting though we see through smoke. Your hands are making me in your image. Broken but held in the hands of God. Your every word I am hanging on. Out of the mourning, into the light of the day. You hold me up, a mirror of grace. All your colors arrayed in your grace on display. Oh this glorious hope, what a love you have shown Glories on glories the heights yet untold. All of my cries, you’re holding them close. The picture you’re painting though we see through smoke. Your hands are making me in your image. You are making me, in your image. You are making me, in your image Lord. You are making me, in your image, Lord. In your image, Lord. I am yours and you are mine, bound by blood to Jesus Christ. Nothing can separate. I am yours and you are mine, bound by blood to Jesus Christ. Nothing can separate. I am yours and you are mine, bound by blood to Jesus Christ. Nothing can separate. Nothing can separate. Nothing can separate. Glories on glories the heights yet untold. All of my cries, you’re holding them close. The picture you’re painting though we see through smoke. Your hands are making me in your image. You are making me, in your image. You are making me, in your image Lord. You are making me, in your image, Lord. In your image, Lord.

Perfect Love 03:46
My life for your glory, come and write your name upon me. Beautiful is your story that you’re telling through each breath I take. In every word, in every phrase your grace on display. How great is your love, your perfect love, you’re perfect love. How great is your love, lavished on us. Beauty from the broken. You are raising up your masterpiece. Covered in mercy, now revealed in me the mystery. In every word, in every phrase your grace on display. How great is your love, your perfect love, you’re perfect love. How great is your love, lavished on us. In every word, in every phrase your grace on display. In every word, in every phrase your grace on display. How great is your love, your perfect love, you’re perfect love. How great is your love, lavished on us.

Til I See 04:14
What you said is enough. Cuz you told me that you are with me. The night is long but daylight’s coming. So I’ll hold on, til I see the Son. My hope is coming fast, my love is coming back. I’ll be home at last. I’ll be home at last. What you said is enough. Cuz you told me that you are with me. The night is long but daylight’s coming. So I’ll hold on, til I see the Son. My hope is coming fast, my love is coming back. I’ll be home at last. I’ll be home at last.

Blood and tears mixed on my skin traces my path to your heart. You first loved and ever will. Undeserved and unreserved. Heights and depths cannot contain all the glory of your name. Breath of heaven live in me. I will live an offering. You have my heart. You have my heart. Oh the mystery, beautiful. Like oceans beyond oceans, your love takes my breath away. Eyes wide open, oh my God. I’m lost in wonder, found in grace. My heart longs to run for you. I will wait for you to move. In the stillness you are found. I will wait in silence now. Oh the mystery, beautiful. Like oceans beyond oceans, your love takes my breath away. Eyes wide open, oh my God. I’m lost in wonder, found in grace.
7.
Oh for words to tell you of how beautiful you are. That stir my soul, awakening a love too wonderful. All the parts I tried to hide, you’ve brought into the light. I come undone under your eyes. I am torn apart. You are making me yours. And I am letting you steal my heart. You are making me yours. All my life, I have searched. You have found me. Oh for words to tell you of how beautiful you are. I’d write for them a melody and sing til I was sore. Then you would hold me in your arms and whisper soft to me. Of love that melts this heart of ice and takes my breath away. You are making me yours. And I am letting you steal my heart. You are making me yours. All my life, I have searched. You have found me.

New Day 04:02
Can you feel it, time is standing still. Waters are rushing all around. Earth is bursting into life. A moment of infinity. A glimmer of what’s yet to be. Earth and Heaven now collide. Oh this is the sound of a new day, sound of a new day. Oh this is the sound of a new day, sound of a new day. Valleys full of broken bones, rise up, this is not your home. See the dawning of the Son. Light takes hold of where you laid, turning inside out your graves. Mountains rise up from the depths. Oh this is the sound of a new day, sound of a new day. Oh this is the sound of a new day, sound of a new day. Lightning reaches from your hands, thunders all throughout my soul. My heart is electrified. Coursing through each and every vein, life that cannot be contained. My eyes are open ocean’s wide. Oh this is the sound of a new day, sound of a new day. Oh this is the sound of a new day, sound of a new day. Oh this is the sound of a new day, sound of a new day. Oh this is the sound of a new day, sound of a new day.

This fire in my soul, don’t let it burn out. This passion in my bones, don’t let it break. In the silence, speak to me. Take your silence away. You I need, more than anything. It’s you I need, I’m desperate for more. Come crashing in and save this heart that open. You can fix what has been broken for so long. I’m pressing in for more, don’t turn away. I’m desperate, crying out, show me your way. In the silence, speak to me. Take your silence away. You I need, more than anything. It’s you I need, I’m desperate for more. Come crashing in and save this heart that open. You can fix what has been broken for so long. You I need, more than anything. It’s you I need, I’m desperate for more. Come crashing in and save this heart that open. You can fix what has been broken for so long.
10.
Though I’ve seen but just a glimpse, still I long to deeply drink of the river flowing from your heart. Pull me into waters deep, draw me out of safeties keep. River, wash away my fears. You can save me, you can save me. You can save me, you can break me. Where you are goodness surrounds, but my skin bears every mark. All my sins have left me scarred. Broken bones, forgotten hope. Fiery strength has turned to smoke. Can you hear my voice? You can save me, you can save me. You can save me, you can break me. Here I’m safe and here I’ll die. I want to live but I can’t fight. I have wasted all my tries. You have brought me to my knees, took me to the end of me. And here, you gave me you. You can save me, you can save me. You can save me, you can break me. You can save me, you can save me. You can save me, you can break me.
11.
Every step I take is harder than the one before. And I don’t how long that I can keep on going for. My strength is fading quick, I’m so inadequate. I’ll never measure up or become good enough. But I never had to be someone that you could love because you always did, yes you created me. From the very start you reached into my heart. You said come near to me and you’ll never leave. Hold on to me, hold on to me. I’m not giving up. As long as there is love, there will still be hope for us. I can’t run far enough to get away from where you are. Not even if I left the earth to climb up through the stars. No matter where I go, I’m never on my own. Because you’re always near, you never disappear. You won’t abandon me even when I leave. Cuz you see so much more than what I see in me. I’m not too broken yet, because I’m still alive. You’re still here by my side. Hold on to me, hold on to me. I’m not giving up. As long as there is love, there will still be hope for us.

about

Zachary Couture Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Does anyone ever read these? You must be a real fan, or at least be interested in becoming one if you're taking the time to read a self-written bio. And to be honest, I don't really want to write a bio because it seems like needless navel gazing. But since you didn't stop reading, let me give you the skinny on who I am (and I only have 43 characters left)

I am a guitarist who sings & writes songs
