Watermark (With Translation)
Cursum Perficio
Cursum perficio. I am making an end to my course.
Verbum sapienti: A word to the wise:
quo plus habent, the more [people] have
eo plus cupiunt. the more they want.
Post nubila, Phoebus After the clouds, Phoebus (1)
Iternum Over and over again (2)
Phoebus was one of the names for the Sun god,
which may be more famous as Apollo (Greek).
It is notable that the Sun is a male.
The word 'iternum' does not exist;
it could either be a misspelling for 'eternum' (eternal),
which is unlikely since it is very rare that an adjective
be used as an adverb, or for 'iterum' (again and again)
which is in fact an adverb and makes a little more sense (!!).
The meaning of 'cursum perficio' is actually best explained
by the footnote to the lyrics:
Enya was inspired by these words she saw on Marylin Monroe's
last house, where they were taken to mean "my journey ends here".
It is a rather "free" translation, but it's probably a very good
way to convey the meaning of Latin, which has a way of saying
things that is very distant from modern-day English.
The fact that those words turned out to be prophetical only
adds to the power of the song.
How delicate the tracery of her fine lines
Like the moonlight lacetops of the evening pines
Like a song half heard through a closed door
Like an old book when you cannot read the writing anymore
How innocent her visage as my child lover lies
Pressed against the rainswept windy windows of my eyes
Like an antique etching glass design
That somehow turned out wrong
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearing
Even as I sing this song
How secretly and silently my sorrow disappears
You can't see it with your eyes or hear it with your ears
It's like a Watermark that's never there and never really gone
I keep looking through old varnish
At my late lover's body
Caught on ancient canvas
And decaying...disappearing
Even as I sing this song
Even as I sing this song
I count to three and grin.
You smile and let me in.
We sit and watch the wall you painted purple.
Speech will spill on space.
Our little cups of grace.
But pauses rattle on about the way that you cut the snow-fence,
braved the blood,
the metal of those hearts that you always end up pressing your tongue to.
How your body still remembers things you told it to forget.
How those furious affections followed you.
I've got this store-bought way of saying I'm okay,
and you learned how to cry in total silence.
We're talented and bright.
We're lonely and uptight.
We've found some lovely ways to disappoint,
but the airport's always almost empty this time of the year,
so let's go play on a baggage carousel.
Set our watches forward like we're just arriving here
from a past we left in a place we knew too well.
(Hold on to the corners of today,
and we'll fold it up to save until it's needed. Stand still.
Let me scrub that brackish line that you got
I count to three and grin.
You smile and let me in.
We sit and watch the wall you painted purple.
Speech will spill on space.
Our little cups of grace.

when something rose and then receded.
Behold what manner of love
That we can be called Your children
Behold what manner of grace
That we can see Your face
Unmerited favor resting on me
Unspeakable joy setting me free
Unbelievable circumstance
You gave a second chance to me
Behold what manner of love
That we can be called Your children
Behold what manner of grace
That we can see Your face
Resting on Your promise, I carry no shame
Knowing in You, I will never be the same
Just to know You as Father
Is all that I'll ever really need
Behold what manner of love
That we can be called Your children
Behold what manner of grace
That we can see Your face
Behold what manner of love
Behold what manner of grace
Behold what manner of love
Behold what manner of grace
Behold what manner of love
That we can be called Your children
Behold what manner of grace
That we can see Your face
Behold what manner of love
That we can be called Your children
Behold what manner of grace
That we can see Your face
Behold what manner of love
That we can be called Your children
Behold what manner of grace
That we can see Your face
Behold what manner of love
It was in the way You came, as a lowly babe
That Your glory was displayed
And it was in the sacrifice, of the purest life
It was in Your Father?s will obeyed
The perfect Lamb that was slain
And there?s the glory of Your name
No other one, no other way for me to see
You took my place, You are the way
And there?s the glory of Your name
Yes, there?s the glory of Your name
It was in Your victory, risen for the world to see
That all who would believe could enter in
And it is in the passionate price
Now demanding all my life
And beating in the chambers of my heart
The perfect Lamb that was slain
And there?s the glory of Your name
No other one, no other way for me to see
You took my place, You are the way
And there?s the glory of Your name
Yes, there?s the glory of Your name
The glory of Your name
And there is nothing in this world
That could take the place of You
That could take the place of You, my Jesus
And there is nothing in this life
That could take the place of one life, one love
One power to save us all, one hope and one truth
And one glory in it all, one glory in it all
The perfect Lamb that was slain
And there?s the glory of Your name
No other one, no other way for me to see
You took my place, You are the way
And there?s the glory of Your name
Yes, there?s the glory of Your name
The glory of Your name
The glory, the glory, the glory of Your name
The glory, the glory, the glory of Your name
The glory, the glory
The perfect Lamb that was slain
And there?s the glory of Your name
No other one, no other way for me to see
You took my place, You are the way
And there?s the glory of Your name
Yes, there?s the glory of Your name
The glory of Your name
Take me there to the place where You are
Take me there, take me there, I just wanna be where You are
And hide me in Your shelter
Hide me here, hide me here, I just wanna be where You are
Take me there to the place where You are
Take me there, take me there, I just wanna be where You are
And hide me in Your shelter
Hide me here, hide me here, I just wanna be where You are
You have buried my sin in the depths, my Lord
And You covered me from the furious storm
And You kept me in the cleft of Your rock
And You loved me there right from the start
So take me there to the place where You are
Take me there, take me there, I just wanna be where You are
And hide me in Your shelter
Hide me here, hide me here, and I just wanna be where You are
You have buried my sin in the depths, my Lord
And You covered me from the furious storm, yeah
And You kept me in the cleft of Your rock
And You loved me there right from the start
So take me there to the place where You are
Take me there, take me there, I just wanna be where You are
And hide me in Your shelter
Hide me here, hide me here, I'd just love to be where You are
You are here and I can feel You
And I'd just love to be where You are
Hide me in Your shelter, hide me here
'Cause I'd just love to be where You are
Take me there to the place where You are
Take me there, take me there, I just wanna be where You are
Well, hide me in Your shelter
Hide me here, hide me here, and I just wanna be where You are
Take me there to the place where You are
Take me there, take me there, and I just wanna be where You are
And hide me in Your shelter
Hide me here, hide me here, I just wanna be where You are
Where You are

Take me there, take me there
Take me there to the place where You are
I just wanna be where You are
And hide me in Your shelter
Hide me here, hide me here, I just wanna be where You are
The more I get alone, the more I see
I need to get alone more, more
'Cause just when I think that I'm alone
Your Spirit calls out to me
And even silence has a song
'Cause that's when You come, sing over me
Still, let me be still
Let me be okay with the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move instead of listening to You
Shut my mouth, crush my pride
Give me the tears of a broken life
Still
Oh this world, it falls around me
And flutters all it's beauty in my eyes
But let me choose the solitude
Simplicity has always simply changed my life
And even stillness makes me move
'Cause that's when my heart learns to dance with You
Still, let me be still
Let me be okay with the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move, instead of listening to You
I'm your child, tame my heart
Obedience to me impart
Still
La la la, la, hold me
La la la, la, cleanse me
La la la, la, change me, oh God
Change me, change me while I am
Still, let me be still
And know that you are God and You're always enough
Still, I want to be still
To take all that I am and simply lift it up
Shut my mouth, crush my pride
Give me the tears of a broken life
Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me
And I will not hold anything from you
Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me
And I will not hold anything from you
Wake up to my sunrise and tell me all your dreams
I will be to listen faithfully
I'm the one that sees in you, the glory of my Son
So for you there is no other now, I'm the only one
Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me
And I will not hold anything from you
Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me
And I will not hold anything from you
Come now to my table that I've prepared for you
You don't have to be ashamed to come into my view
And you don't have to be afraid that I will see those wounds
'Cause my table covers everything it will always cover you
Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me
And I will not hold anything from you
Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me
And I will not hold anything from you
La la, la la, la la, la la, la la la
You don't have to be afraid
I will take you as you are
You can come into my presence and give all you are
Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me
And I will not hold anything from you
Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me

Seek me
And when you seek me, you will find me
And when you find me, you will know me
And I will not hold anything from you
I will not hold anything from you
I will not hold anything from you
Must have been You out in the back yard
The mystery began in the heart of a child
I didn't know 'till now, that even then I knew You
And there were songs back then
There was a love affair
And it goes on and on more than I can remember
And it goes deeper still more than I could forget
But as long as I can remember, I thank You Lord, I remember You
All throughout my life
I've been loving You
Must have been You on that twilight evening
I wore the beaded gown
And there were flowers everywhere
And I embraced the love, it carries my love forever
And it was all so sacred
It was holy
And it goes on and on more than I can remember
And it goes deeper still more than I could forget
But as long as I can remember, I thank You Lord, I remember You
All throughout my life
I've been loving You
You are in the simple things of life
You know the kind that make me thankful I'm alive
Just as You are in the monumental moments
That have made us who we are
Must have been You who woke me up this morning
With sounds familiar now
My baby's laughter through the hell
And I whispered a prayer as I embraced a new day
Because Your strength is perfect
It has always been perfect
And it goes on and on more than I can remember
And it goes deeper still more than I could forget
But as long as I can remember, I thank You Lord, I remember You
It goes on and on more than I can remember
And it goes deeper still more than I could forget
But as long as I can remember, I thank You Lord, I remember You
All throughout my life
Paint me with Your purity
That I'd attract Your majesty
When others boast in fame and gold
The purest place is where I'll go
The purest place I will draw near
Do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are
It's not with masses, not with kings
Not in these songs or offerings
Not in this life or what it brings
The purest place is You my King
The purest place I will draw near
Do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are, is where You are
If there's such thing as too beautiful
If there's such thing as too wonderful
If there's such thing as too marvelous
Jesus it's You, Jesus it's You
If there's such thing as too beautiful
If there's such thing as too wonderful
If there's such thing as too marvelous
Jesus it's You, Jesus it's You
The purest place I will draw near
Do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are
The purest place I will draw near
Do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are, is where You are
It's You my King
It's You my King
Come clean the shadows in the closets of my soul
You are the Light to come and show
All of the empty places and the darkened rooms
I cannot hide from what You know
'Cause Your truth is the light
So come and light me from the inside
Open me up
And let the healing begin in me
I'm giving up everything I am and all that I'll ever be
Come pour in all the things
You're holding there for me
You've been there waiting for me to see
All of the things I've placed between Your heart and mine
Too much of me I've tried to hide
But Your truth is the light
So come and light me from the inside
Repeat Chorus
What is to come is not yet seen
But You have promised everything
I know that when I wait for You
You make it worth the while
From where I am to where You are
My seem to be way too far
But I call out in the dark
Your truth is the light
So come and light me from the inside
Come clean the shadows in the closets of my soul
You are the Light to come and show
All of the empty places and the darkened rooms
Sweet Noah
Your eyes are a window
To all of our childhood dreams
It's almost like we're starting over again
One more trip through this life
With different eyes to see
You're the gift that came to take us back
Cause baby dear, you have the joy we lack
With your tiny hands
You touch a different world
You're full of wonder, full of hope
And full of one more chance
For us to see the world again
Like God sees the world
Little lover of God
You'd smile at a stranger
You don't think to be careful
How sweet is your love
You'd reach for the most unlovely of creatures
Your love is so unconditional
You're the gift that came to take us back
Cause baby dear, you have the love we lack
With your tiny heart
You'll love a different world
Your full of wonder, full of hope
And full of one more chance
For us to love the world again
Like God loves the world
And a child shall lead them
For such is the kingdom of heaven
Simple faith, simple love
Just because
Little faithful one
You're just like a mirror
Reflecting anything and everything we do
Mirror, mirror oh how you remind us
That we should reflect our Father just the same
You're the gift that came to take us back
Cause baby dear, you have the faith we lack
With your tiny life
You've shown the precious love of God
He's full of mercy, full of grace
And full of one more chance
For us to daily learn to love
Like He first loved us
And a child shall lead them
For such is the kingdom of heaven
Simple faith, simple love
God so holy and true, I am captured by You
And all of the things You do
Things too wonderful for me
Things that set this heart free
It's all such a mystery
Oh God, sometimes it's like
I see it for the first time
Oh God, sometimes I realize
That I really have no idea, no idea
It feels like coming home every time I'm near You
Yeah, hey, yeah, no idea, no idea
Yours is a love so true and amazing
There's so much of You, I really have no idea
And when I think about the day
When all else will fade away
Where are the words that You say?
Is there a way to describe, looking in Your eyes
When I see the mystery
Oh God, can't imagine seeing
You for the first time, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Oh God, I know I'll realize that
I really had no idea, no idea
Great is the love that's given me forever
Yeah, hey, yeah, no idea, no idea
Yours is a love so true and amazing
There's so much of You, I really had no idea
No idea, no idea
You know I can't comprehend You, fully understand
But I trust Your heart, You're who You say You are
I believe, I believe with all that is in me
No idea, no idea, it feels like coming home
Every time I'm near You, ooh, yeah
No idea, no idea
Great is the love that's given me forever
Oh, I really have no idea, no idea, oh yeah, no idea
[Incomprehensible] no, no
Yours is a love so true and amazing
Oh yeah, Your's is a love so true and amazing
Come and make my heart Your home
And come and be everything I am and all I know
And search me through and through
Till my heart becomes a home for You
Come and make my heart Your home
And come and be everything I am and all I know
And search me through and through
Till my heart becomes a home for You
A home for You Lord, a home for You, Lord
Let everything I do open up a door for You to come through
And that my heart would be a place where You want to be
Come and make my heart Your home
And come and be everything I am and all I know
And search me through and through
Till my heart becomes a home for You
A home for You Lord, a home for You, oh Lord
Let everything I do open up a door for You to come through
And that my heart would be a place where You want to be
'Cause you are my portion, filling up everything
You are the fortune that's causing my heart to sing
That it's amazing, that You could make Yourself at home with me
With me Lord come and make my heart
Come and make it Your home
And come and be everything I am and all I know
And search me through and through
Till my heart becomes a home for You
Till my heart becomes a home for You
Till my heart becomes a home for You Lord
I died in Your death my Lord
Glory, glory to Your name
Buried in the grave with You
Glory, glory to Your name
And I arose with You my Lord
Glory, glory to Your name
Your blood is my covering
My sheltering, where life comes from
Your blood is my innocence
And my righteousness, where I begin
Once so far, I am brought near
Glory, glory to Your name
Raised and seated up with You
Glory, glory to Your name
And reconciled to God in You
Glory, glory to Your name
Your blood is my covering
My sheltering, where life comes from
Your blood is my innocence
And my righteousness, where I begin
Death has no victory, sin has no hold on me
I'm covered in my Christ who is my life
And I arose with You my Lord
Glory, glory to Your name
Glory, glory to Your name
Your blood is my covering
My sheltering, where life comes from
Your blood is my innocence
And my righteousness, where I begin
Your blood is my covering
My sheltering, where life comes from
Your blood is my innocence
And my righteousness, where I begin
Your blood is my covering
Oh Lord, it's where I begin
Your life, Your love, Your blood falls over me
And your blood is my covering
Your love it falls over me
Something brought you to my mind today
I thought about the funny ways you make me laugh
And yet I feel like it's okay to cry with you
Something about just being with you
When I leave I feel like I've been near God
And that's the way it ought to be, yeah
'Cause you've been more than a friend to me
You fight off my enemies
'Cause you've spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
Just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
You had faith, when I had none
You prayed God would bring me a brand new song
When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing
And all the while I'm hoping that I'll
Do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me
And that's the way it ought to be
'Cause you've been more than a friend to me
You fight off my enemies
'Cause you've spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
Just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
You have carried me
You have taken upon a burden that wasn't your own
And may the blessing return to you
A hundredfold, oh yeah, a hundredfold, oh yeah
'Cause you've been more than a friend to me
You fight off my enemies
'Cause you've spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
Just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
More than you'll ever know
You repair all that we have torn apart and
You unveil a new beginning in our hearts and
We stand grateful for all that has been left behind and
All that goes before us
Chorus:
You've got all things suspended
All things connected
Nothing was forgotten
'Cause your love is perfect
You are our healer
And you know what's broken
And we're not a mystery to you
(to you, oh Lord, to you)
We will dance 'cause you restore the wasted years and
You will sing over all our coming fears and
We'll stand grateful for all that has been left behind and all that goes before us
-Chorus-
Bridge:
Lord, you mend the breech
And you break every fetter
You give us your best, but what we thought was better
And you are to be praised
You are to be praised (4x)
-Chorus-
Darling, you should know by now
But I know, I need to tell you how
I don't always have the words
But I pray that it's my heart you've heard
I love to hear your heart, telling of your love
Telling me you'll stay forever
I thank you for your touch
And for loving me that much
To know the things I need to hear
Remember I promised forever
Life brings change, but my promise is the same
And through these years we've been together
Life has made us grow, but through it all I know
No matter what may come
My heart was made for you forever, yeah
Darling I need to confess
It's hard to show my weaknesses
I want so much to show you strength
Without revealing everything
You know what I always say
"When you're weak, you're strong, to me"
It's another way of loving me
'Cause when I see your heart
I get carried through
The reasons why I fell in love with you
Remember, I promised forever
Life brings change, but my promise is the same
And through these years we've been together
Life has made us grow, but through it all I know
No matter what may come
My heart was made for you forever, yeah
You've dreamed with me and every dream came true
You've shared with me every emotion
Every tear and every loss, every road that we have crossed
I have always found a home in you
Remember, I promised forever
Life brings change, but my promise is the same
And through these years we've been together
Life has made us grow, but through it all I know
No matter what may come, no matter what may come
No matter what may come
Giver of creation, bringer of salvation
Word of God, eternal life
Praise the Son of God
Promised One of Heaven
To bring us to your Kingdom
Rescued us from darkness
Praise the Son of God
(Chorus)
Jesus, light of the world
Shine on us, shine on us
Word of life, spoken for love
Breathe on us, breathe on us
Light of the world, King Jesus
Darkness will obey your voice
Weakness will in you rejoice
You have bound the broken heart
Praise the Son of God

And to us you will impart
The holiness of all you are

So I will embrace You always as I walk this earth

Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high
And be treasured here, be glorified
I owe my life to You, my Lord
Here I am, here I am, here I am
Come, come in, invade all You see of us
Any man, who'd walk Your road is welcomed here
And You're the only one
Oh Jesus, come and walk the halls of this house
Yeah tread this place and turn it inside out, oh with Your mercy
And Jesus teach us the prayers that open these doors
Until Your light floods in and illuminates these floors
And let Your truth be on our steps and in these rooms
Jesus invade, invade
And reach, reach in with the hand that heals all our suffering
Conquer all that is not of You, bring Your spirit through
As we fill these walls with Your praise
Oh Jesus, come and walk the halls of this house
Yeah tread this place and turn it inside out, oh with Your mercy
Oh Jesus teach us the prayers that open these doors
Until Your light floods in and illuminates these floors
And let Your truth be on our steps and in these rooms
Jesus invade, invade
And I call for angels
And I call for mercy
And I call for freedom
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
Come, come in, invade all You see of us
Any man, who'd walk Your road is welcomed here
And You're the only one, You're the only one
And You're the only one
Oh Jesus, come and walk the halls of this house
Yeah tread this place and turn it inside out, oh with Your mercy
And Jesus teach us the prayers that open these doors
Until Your light floods in and illuminates these floors
And let Your truth be on our steps and in these rooms
Jesus invade, invade
As I call for angels
I call for mercy
Incorruptible, indescribable, salvation?s calling when I was longing
Now you?re the strength that holds my life
With a love that will never die
And never fade like the flowers, it is a love that stands forever
Oh, I am not redeemed by corruptible things
Not by silver, not by gold and not by aimless tradition
But by the blood of God?s sacred son Jesus
Oh, You alone are my living hope and my inheritance is incorruptible
Incomparable, inconceivable, Your plans for me shall always be
And for the day that You?re revealed
My heart is forever sealed
With the promise of mercy and the hope of all Your glory
Oh, I am not redeemed by corruptible things, oh
And not by silver, and not by gold and not by aimless tradition
But by the blood of God?s sacred son Jesus
Oh, You alone are my living hope and my inheritance is incorruptible
Oh, sacred Son, who paid the price
Oh, may I live a grateful life
That magnifies Your name forever
Oh, I am not redeemed by corruptible things
Not by silver, and not by gold and not by aimless tradition
Oh, I am not redeemed by corruptible things, oh
And not by silver and not by gold and not by aimless tradition
But by the blood of God?s sacred son Jesus
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear
Falling on my ears
The Son of God discloses
(Chorus)
There is none like
No one else can touch my heart like you do
I could search for all eternity, Lord and find
There is none like you
You speak and the sound of your voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that you give me
Within my heart is ringing
(Chorus)
You walk with me and you talk with me
And tell me I am Your own
And the joy we share as we tarry here
None of us has ever known
Trees of life are blooming and your word plants the seed
And we see it growing, yeah
Your kindness leading to repentance and we see traces of deliverance
Lord, thank you for mercy, yeah
Oh, can you hear it? It's the song of the redeemed
The pursuit of passion for the one who set us free
Oh can you hear it? We're crying out for more
And listen to our song, it's turning into a holy roar, a holy roar, yeah
Rivers of renewal, the spirit whisper a revival
And He send us rushing, Lord, send us rushing
Open hearts with hopes of unity, we're servants to love in lost humanity
Lord, send us reaching, yeah
Oh, can you hear it? It's the song of the redeemed
The pursuit of passion for the one who set us free
Oh can you hear it? We're crying out for more
And listen to our song, it's turning into a holy roar, a holy roar, yeah
And we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You, Lord
Can you hear the holy roar?
As we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You, Lord
Can you hear the holy roar?
As we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You, Lord
Can you hear the holy roar?
As we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You, Lord
Can you hear the holy roar?
As we respond to who You are
And all that You have done
Lord, with our lives, with all that we are
We return to you, oh God, You are holy God
We lay down our lives, our songs, these tears, Lord
Can you hear the holy roar? These cries, these prayers
Holy presence, gentle brush of angel's wings
Creatures strange, breathing heavenly breaths
Encircle the throne still they are saying

In the hands of my God

Glory baby, you slipped away
As fast as we could say baby, baby
You were growing, what happened dear
You disappeared on us baby, baby
Heaven will hold you before we do
Heaven will keep you safe
Until we're home with you
Until we're home with you
We miss you everyday, miss you in every way
But we know there's a day when we will hold you, we will hold you
And you'll kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay
We can't wait for the day when we will see you, we will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you, until mom and dad can hold you
You'll just have heaven before we do
You'll just have heaven before we do
Before we do
Sweet little baby, it's hard to understand it
'Cause we are hurting, we are hurting
But there is healing, and we know we're stronger people
Through the growing, and in knowing
All things work together for our good
And God works his purposes
Just like he said he would
Just like he said he would
We miss you everyday, miss you in every way
But we know there's a day when we will hold you, we will hold you
And you'll kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay
We can't wait for the day when we will see you, we will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you, until mom and dad can hold you
You'll just have heaven before we do
You'll just have heaven before we do
I can't imagine heaven's lullabies
And what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing
Heaven is your home
And it's all you'll ever know
All you'll ever know
We miss you everyday, miss you in every way
But we know there's a day when we will hold you, we will hold you
And you'll kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay
We can't wait for the day when we will see you, we will see you
But baby let sweet Jesus hold you, until mom and dad can hold you
You'll just have heaven before we do
You'll just have heaven before we do
Yeah, you'll just have heaven before we do
I wish I could crash like the waves
Or turn like the autumn leaves
In effort to praise You
I wish I could smell like the forest
The fragrance lifting a mighty chorus
In effort to praise You, in effort to praise You
But I'm such a limited creature
And my words can only paint so many pictures
But somewhere I think I read that I am
Treasured over all creation
So I know that I must try
I wish I could roll like the thunder
To leave the earth below in wonder
In effort to praise You
I wish I could fall like the summer rain
And every drop would sing Your name
In effort to praise You, in effort to praise You
But I'm such a limited creature
And my words can only paint so many pictures
But somewhere I'm sure I read that I am
Treasured over all creation
So I know that I must try, I must try
Gloria, glory in the highest
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
Gloria, glory in the highest
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
Every breath that I breathe
Every moment in my history
Is an effort to praise You
An effort to praise You
Gloria, glory in the highest
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
Oh, Gloria
Glory in Excelsis Deo
Gloria, Gloria
Gloria

(Chorus)
Elliana, God has answered my prayers
Elliana, God will conquer my fears
To mother a daughter, to look you in the eye
To know that I had everything, to walk with you in life
To give you to Jesus that He would impart
The wisdom that I'm longing for to mother your heart
Elliana, God has answered my prayers
There will be others to lead and to guide you girl
But only one you'll call Mother, the honor is all mine
To show you what a woman's like
I'm so glad you're mine
(Chorus)
Tenderness of God is twirling around
In our living room tonight
Lighten up your daddy's eyes
And know that he just wants to freeze you in time

And saved the best for me
Saved the best for me, oh, woah
I love you that much that I would
Hold the things that you think you want
And I?ll give you the things

And all of Heaven sings over you
Because of the depths of my love
I love you with a love

And I want to press in to know
This God that so amazes me
You alone are good
You alone are the only good in me
And because of the work of the cross
You're pursued my life and You've loved me completely
You go after every heart
You won't rest until we know
You are constant, You are constant

And Your glory is in all the earth
But Your heart is for a people who
Will constantly be running after You

Caught in a whirlwind or two.
Divinly, my sail caught the winds of you,
And changed my point of view.
Never hopelessly lost, you see.
Spirit wind set its course for me.
Chorus:
And calmed the waters of a troubled soul.
Pulled the anchor from the depths below.
Set a horizon of direction
In this heart of mine.
You show me right where you're blowing.
And life comes from loving and knowing.
The spirit has breathed this life in me.
And I never caught wind of anything
Quite so amazing.
You have breathed your life in me,
La la la la la la la la.
Oooh, la la la la la la la la.
And out of this spirit wind,
Comes a breeze that becomes more like a friend.
And I've felt it time and time again.
Whisper words of a healing prayer.
When I'm lost, it's a compass to get me there.
You calm the waters of a troubled soul.
You've pulled the anchor from the depths below.
You set a horizon of direction
In this heart of mine.
You've shown me right where you're blowing.
And life comes from loving and knowing.
The spirit has breathed this life in me.
And I've never caught wind of anything
Quite so amazing.
You have breathed your life in me,
La la la la la la la la.
Whoa, whoa, la la la la la la la, wooo
La da da da da da woo woo.
Lord You are my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear if You are near
Lord You are my peace when there is war all around me
And even here inside me I will have no fear
Oh Lord You're my protection from my enemies
You set me high upon a rock and You defend my soul
And when their ways advance against me
I am confident that they cannot make me less
For You have made me whole, oh Lord
You are my stronghold, You are my stronghold
Lord You are my strength so let my head be lifted up
That I may glory in the ways You've overcome
And Lord You are my home because You've created in me
A heart that lives the victory that You've already won
Oh Lord You're my protection from my enemies
You set me high upon a rock and You defend my soul
And when their ways advance against me
I am confident that they cannot make me less
For You have, You made me whole, oh Lord
You are my stronghold, You are my stronghold
Oh Lord You're my protection from my enemies
You set me high upon a rock and You defend my soul
And when their ways advance against me
I am confident that they cannot make me less
For You have, You made me whole, oh Lord
You are my stronghold, You are my stronghold
And Lord, You are my stronghold
Over time You've healed so much in me
And I am living proof
That although my darkest hour had come
Your light could still shine through
Though at times it's just enough to cast
A shadow on the wall
Well I am grateful that
You shined Your light on me at all
Who am I
That You would love me so gently?
Who am I
That You would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I
That You would speak to me so softly?
Conversation with the Love most high,..
Who am I?
Well, amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
And the more I sing that sweet old song
The more I understand-
That I do not comprehend this love
That's coming from Your hand...
Grace, grace
God's grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace
God's grace
Grace that is greater than all our sin...
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Amazing love, now flowing down
From hands and feet
That were nailed to the tree
Grace flows down and covers me...
(REPEAT)
And covers me...
And covers me...
And covers me...
And covers me...
(REPEAT)
Who am I
That You would love me so gently?
Who am I
That you would recognize my name?
Lord who am I
That You would speak to me so softly?
Conversation with the Love most High...
When the lie is deeper than I know
You capture me and You carry me home
You see these wounds and rescue me
You always heal things beautifully
And I close my eyes and You can still my heart
And I call out Your name 'cause
You always know, You always know where to find me
You always know, You always know where to find me
And where could I wander that You wouldn't be
Whom have I but You who really knows me
Proven to be the God that sees
From strength to strength, You've lifted me
And I close my eyes and You can still my heart
And I call out Your name 'cause
You always know, You always know where to find me
You always know, You always know where to find me
And I could cry from the depths of the earth
I could stand on a mountain-top
And I could speak Your name out to the wind
And You go before me and You fall around me
'Cause You always know, you always know where to find me
You always know, You always know where to find me
You always know, You always know where to find me
You always know, You always know where to find me
You, You always know know where to find me
You, You always know know where to find me

There's a watermark
The tears are all dried
And leaving a stain
On an empty heart
Where nothing is right
Ain't nothing like rain.
Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh and when it falls down on me.
There's a man I know
He's keeping his face
Turned into the light
I can see the glow
Shine into the dark
Shine into the night.
Oh and when it shines down on me
Oh and when it shines down on me
Oh, I believe.
There's a watermark (there's a watermark)
The tears are all dried
And leaving a stain
On an empty heart (on an empty heart)
Where nothing is right
Ain't nothing like rain.
Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh, I believe.
Oh and when it falls down on me
Oh and when it falls down on me
I want to live inside you to see just what you see
It would feel so relaxing to know that you're with me
And it feels so good to live my life through your eyes
I look at who I am and I look at who you are
I cry to be just like you whatever you've become
And it feels so good to live my life through your eyes
It's all that I ask for so give me what I need
