In the passion of Your sacrifice
I saw the prophecy fulfilled
The Healer of the world, the wounded Christ
I heard You say, come follow me
So I will, yes I will
Follow You Jesus all the way up that hill
Follow You Jesus all the way up that hill
To the cross where the river runs
Crimson even still, yes I will
Follow You Lord, I will
On the sacred path You bled for us
Scored and broken up that hill
How terrible the cross, how glorious
(How glorious)
I heard You say, come follow me
(Follow me)
So I will, yes I will
Follow You Jesus all the way up that hill
Follow You Jesus all the way up that hill
To the cross where the river runs
Crimson even still, yes I will
Follow You, Lord I will, yes I will
(I will, I will)
In my weakness when I feel afraid
Hear me Jesus when I call Your name
Won't You help me Lord? Won't You help me Lord?
Please help me Lord
(Please help me Jesus)
Can You help me Lord?
(Please help me Lord)
Follow You Jesus all the way up that hill
Follow You Jesus all the way up that hill
(I will follow all the way)
To the cross where the river runs
Crimson even still, yes I will
Follow You, Lord I will, yes I will
(Follow You, I will follow you, I will follow you)
I will
Take these hands and lift them up
For I have not the strength to praise you nearly enough
For I have nothing, I have nothing without you
Take my voice and pour it out
And let it sing the songs of mercy I have found
For I have nothing, I have nothing without you
All my soul needs
Is all your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing without you
So take my body and build it up
May it be broken as an offering of love
For I have nothing, I have nothing without you
All my soul needs
Is all your love to cover me
So all the world will see that I have nothing
But I love you
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my MIND
And all the strength that I can find
And all my soul needs
And all your love to cover me
So all the world can see I have nothing
Take my time on this Earth
Let it glorify all that you are worth
Take another look at me
Oh breaker of my heart
Take a look and you will see
How beautiful you are
Even when I walk away
I could not go very far
Before the child in me would say
Home is where you are
In the tapestry of time
I cannot imagine where
I could find someone as kind
On the ground or in the air
I have heard that angels fly
And they never show their face
So I suppose that from the sky
One landed in your place
Did you know right from the start
When you first held me in your arms
That you would always hold my heart
Where you are
You make the mornings seem so light
With coffee in the air
But to be a mother and a wife
Is a heavy load to bear
And so you gave your life away
Like the God inside your heart
And even thought we've gone away
Home is where you are
Everyone it seems
Is looking for the grass that's greener here
And through my window pane
The scenery flies by and disappears
So tell to me the secret
That won't let the memories fade away
Until I am home again....where the trees stand still
Yesterday it seems
I traveled in a younger man's clothes
Living out this dream
And wandering through fields of touch and go
Moving on forever
Watching the distance fade away
But now I just want to land...where the trees stand still
All this time
On this line
Here then I am gone
Tonight I want a life
Where the faces are the same most every day
Tonight I want a wife
To sit with me and watch our children play
All the world between us
Watching the years fade away
And when the laughing's done...we'll watch the trees stand still
Everyday...where the trees stand still
I don't know why I always run
is it fear of the fall or fear of the touch
And I don't know where the angels sleep
And I don't know how to really love
I've never stood still long enough
And I don't know where the angels sleep
But I am alive and standing strong
I'm no farther forward, just farther along
I hold on to my pride and dig in deep
It's pulling me down, and I am no closer to release
And I don't know where the angels sleep
I don't know how to see you now
The friend from before is different somehow
And I don't know where the angels sleep
And I don't know when I'll love again
But I don't trust myself to just let you in
And I don't know where the angels sleep
It's taken ten thousand days
To get stuck in my ways
And it offers no grace
I cannot stand this place
With love in my face
I walk away slowly
I don't know where the angels sleep
What child is this, who lays to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring him praise,
The babe, the son of Mary.
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh;
Come, peasant king, to own him.
The king of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring him praise,
The babe, the son of Mary.
This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, oh haste to bring him praise,
The babe, the son of Mary.
Today is not a good day
Stranded in the heartache
Watching all the world race
And pass me by
Like a wave on the ocean
Comes a flood of emotion
And it can't go unspoken
No it can't go unspoken one more time
We fall apart just to come alive
A broken heart can shatter all the lies
A brand new start and a goodbye
We fall apart just to come alive
Yeah but this is still a good life
Standing in the sunlight
Scattering the long line
Of fear and shame
Cause underneath the surface
There's a heart and a purpose
And I swear that it's worth it
Yeah I swear that it's worth it, it's not in vain
You save me, You save me
I'm alive, I'm alive
Wash me clean again
And take me down in your water
And try to make me understand
Cause in this life that I live
I might have grown a little harder
But so have these times
Where we just war with words
And fight for rights to take a life
In the name of peace
But we cannot hide behind our picket fences,
Abortion lines, and worn defenses
I don't understand
Touch and go, it survives
In this land of our fathers
The bleeding and the needing
Are left behind
You say one name out aloud
While inside you feel another
But there is some comfort in pleasing the crowd
So you just raise your hands up to the sky
And scream a verse that will make them cry
But when those politics
They don't stick around
Those words fight back
They'll take you down
And you won't understand
So Lord search my soul
And find the need to break this stone
And plant a seed and find me
I step outside into the light.
And as I walk and talk and say good-bye
I cannot smile, I cannot cry
these feelings so extreme, please tell me why.
Walking away,
why must the season's change
take me away
from ones that I love?
walking away,
why must the feelings change
and take me away?
I'm crying Lord, please don't fail me now.
Days of dust go rambling by,
running cicles around my dreams and my life.
By the stare found deep in her eyes
A fleeting glimpse of love is passing her by.
It's a better place
Standing high upon this mountain
I've seen your face
Full of the light that holiest height can show
Blessed hand is why you you've given
But you've been given all you'll ever need
To know
Chourus:
So walk down this mountain
With your heart held high
Follow in the footsteps of your maker
With this love that's gone before you
And these people at your side
If you offer up your broken cup
You will taste the meaning of this life
Hey hey
Well it's a common ground
And I see you're all still standing
But just look around and you'll find
The very face of God
He's walking down into the distance
He's walking down to where the masses are
Chourus
This life
We're standing in a place of peace
And this is how the world should be
How the world should be
(Walk down this mountain with your heart held high)
How the world should be
(Walk down this mountain with you heart held high)
How the world should be
(Walk down this mountain with your heart held high)
How the world should be
Chourus
-music fades-
I saw her in a crowd
Or maybe in a cloud
Her daddy would be so proud
Little miss beauty queen
But then she fell down
And underneath her gown
No backbone could be found
It was all skin and nicotine
Underneath these empty things
We're made of, we're made of
Underneath these empty things
We're made of one love
Just past three a.m.
I saw a preacher man
He had heaven in his hand
on satellite TV
And he'll fix your sorry life
And then he'll fix the price
Because Heaven sure is nice
But salvation isn't free
And now could it be instead
That we've lost our innocence
But one day this pain will end
Hope is coming back again
And we can live forever
Well I have heard it said
That maybe God is dead
Or some would say instead
He just up and went away
But I saw him in a cloud
I saw him in a crowd
Yeah, he just looked around
Every breath I breathe
And every song I sing
And every love I've ever known
Will never be enough
To ever fill me up
Like the calling of my soul
I know that everything
One day everything will cry out...
Everything under the sun
Voices sing out to the one
Who made the stars up in the sky...and you and I
Every heart that ever hurt
And every kingdom on the earth
Will see the heavens open up
Over everything under the sun
From the city streets
And from the fields of green
And up from every crying stone
There will rise a voice
That will leave no choice
It will come to call us home
I know that everything
One day everything will cry out....
Let it fall just like the rain
Hear it calling out your name
Let it come inside and take you over
Every breath I breathe
And every song I sing
Outside my room looking in
You'll probably find me all over the place
In pictures of me back in school
A slight crooked kid like the smile on my face
And my first guitar by the bed
With circles of dust clinging to the wood
It drew the first song from my head
Singin', "If I was gone, I'd be gone for good"
I'm afraid to grow up
But somewhere inside is the will of a man
All I've ever wanted
Was something to give and love if I can
You make me wanna try
You make me wanna fight
You make me wanna live
You make me wanna give
And inside my room looking out
The colors of night all faded and bruised
But out from the shadows of doubt
You held up your heart and stepped into view
And under the streetlight we kissed
Never more tried and never more true
It drew a new song from my lips
Singin', "If I could fall, I'm falling for you"
I'm afraid to grow up
'Cause somewhere inside I don't think I can
And all I've ever wanted
Is someone to love and to live like a man
You make me wanna try
You make me wanna fight
You make me wanna live
You make me wanna give
You make me wanna try
You make me wanna fight
You make me wanna live
Well I can’t find the words to say
Just to make, make this go way
So you just bleed and I can’t sleep tonight
‘Cause it’s hard to see just what you mean
Across the lines that bring your voice to me
But I can hear your every tear when you cry
And, oh love, when you say to me
That your heart breaks every time I leave
I would set out across the sea
Just to find my way to you
Well I don’t know which way to go
So I search the stars, basking in the glow
But they all fall down without a sound from the sky
Well I still can’t find the words to say
But you, my love, love me anyway
So just go to sleep, and my heart will keep the time
‘Cause, oh love, when you say to me
That my kiss is the breath you breathe
I would wake up from a thousand dreams
It's on the tip of my heart, the words to say
But I fall apart and I walk away
There's an angry world pressed against my back
And at every turn I keep looking back
And I know you promise me
Love through eternity
So why can't I just hold on
I want to live, I want to love
But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let you hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart
So would you take my hand, because I'm sinking in
To this life I've made, but don't understand
The clock moves so slowly, but time goes so fast
In this whirlwind world that will never last
This love you're giving me
It's not just make believe
Help me just to hold one
You open the sky, and open my eyes
And all my fears are scattered away
So I walk in grace, because I've seen your face
You are all that matters to me
So I'm gonna live, I'm gonna love
I'm not afraid because your grace will always be enough
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna be set free
And let you hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
You have shown me where to start
Have I become a soul so numb
All too familiar
Words of gold have all grown cold
Over and over
I need to see you in the sunrise
Time takes its toll on us
And it tries its best just to steal our love
And we bend and we break but we don’t give up
Time takes its toll on us
From the start you touched my heart
And turned it in to something more
Beautiful, you’re beautiful
So why does it have to be so hard
To see you in the sunrise
Time takes, time takes away
Lately you’ve been all blue sky
And I’ve been rain
I don’t mean to bust up your party
With all of my pain
But sometimes my shadows surround me
And you take me in your arms and say
It’s the way we mend
We tear it all down and we’ll start it again
And I don’t know how but you find me where we begin
And that’s just the way, the way that we mend
It’s just that some voices remind me
I’m not strong enough
To put all my demons behind me
And carry this love
But just like an angel of mercy
You take me by my hand and say
They’re pouring out
From my mouth
So many words all spoken wrong
But you come alive
All the streets
Are filled
With laughter
And light
And the music
Of the season
And the
Merchants' windows
Are all bright
With the faces
Of the children
And the families
Hurrying
To their homes
As the sky darkens
And freezes
They'll be gathering
Around the hearths
And tales
Giving thanks
For all god's graces
And the birth
Of the rebel Jesus
Well they call him
By the prince
Of peace
And they call him
By the Savior
And they pray
To him
Upon the seas
And in every
Bold endeavor
As they fill
His churches
With their pride
And gold
And their faith
In him increases
But they've
Turned the nature
That I worshipped in
From a temple
To a robber's den
In the words
Of the rebel Jesus
We guard our world
With locks and guns
And we guard
Our fine possessions
And once a year
When Christmas comes
We give
To our relations
And perhaps we give
A little to the poor
If the generosity
Should seize us
But if any one of us
Should interfere
In the business of why
They are poor
They get the same
As the rebel Jesus
But please
Forgive me
If I seem
To take the tone
Of judgement
For I've no wish
To come between
This day
And your enjoyment
In this life
Of hardship
And of earthly toil
We have need
For anything
That frees us
So I bid you
Pleasure
And I bid you
Cheer
From a heathen
And a pagan
On the side
I want to run, it's my nature to run
And I want to fight, it's my nature to fight
And I want to live, but you tell me to die
I have resolved that I'm much better off
In your hands than mine
I'm begging you to hold on tight
Begging you to hold on tight
Begging you to take my life from me
I want a crumb, but you are a feast
I want a song, but you are a symphony
I want a star, but your a galaxy
And I have resolved that I'm much better off
In what you have for me
I'm begging you to hold on tight
Begging you to hold on tight
Begging you to take my life from me
So tell me you won't let go
Tell me you won't let go
Cause you are the only hope for me
Take my life from me, It's the only hope for me
Take my life from me, It's the only hope for me
And I'll never want for more
I'll never want for more
I'm begging you to hold on tight
Begging you to hold on tight
Begging you to take my life from me
So tell me you won't let go
Tell me you won't let go
Cause your the only hope for me
You're the only hope for me
It's as if you could find me anywhere
That I could go, to try to hide my thoughts from you
But just like some runaway I'm leaving here
With half a mind that hopes, of getting caught
So we can just drive home in the dark where we'll let our feelings fly
They'll cut like shame to break me down again
Until there's nothing left but for me to tell you I'm sorry
But I don't wanna go home now
Stuck here in the middle alone now
Everybody's singing their song now
But I'm still reeling
I'm not trying to run away from
This beautiful life I've been given
I'm not looking for freedom
Maybe just a little meaning here in the middle
It's as if there's a world uncovered by
The break of day all these miles away but for a better view
Of what's left in the aftermath of all these years
It's just so hard to know who I am in you
So I don't wanna go home now
Stuck here in the middle alone now
Everybody's singing their song now
But I'm not ready for this
I'm not trying to run away from
This beautiful life I've been given
I'm not looking for freedom
Maybe just a little meaning here in the middle
Alright, everybody says I'll be alright
Everybody says it's a good fight
I'm not seeing it now
All I know is I swear this
It feels a little more like a secret
And I don't know if I should just keep it
You're waking me up from my daydream
Making me look up from my precious world
Forcing me to see your point of view
This broken sidewalk, not so broken as
The man who likes to walk, jumping all the cracks
Pushing his old bike, he's sure to smile at you
I was looking for the quick way home
But you were happy just to be alone
Something magic must have caught my eye
I saw the secret of the man inside
I saw the secret of the man inside
It's not the sun-baked brick lines in your skin
Thick with chain grease, aged and clumsy hands
It isn't struggled words you fight to say
Beneath the man-suit, beneath your purple skin
There is a boy who don't know that he's a man
He simply close his eyes and he can fly away
I was driving in the same old car
But you were dreaming of a land so far away
I was looking through my corner eye
But you were singing with the man inside
You were singing with the man inside
Some think they got a lot to offer
some think they got a lot to give
Those people think they own this world
Lay down softly in our sorrow
Lay down sister to die
And cover over, my sweet Father
Cover over her eyes
Your broken body, it cannot weather
The years your youth still longs to spend
So go down graceful, sleep with the angels
And wake up whole again
'Cause it was not your time; that's a useless line
A fallen world took your life
But the God that sometimes can't be found
Will wrap Himself around you
So lay down, sister, lay down
Slower passing are the hours
To tell this tale that takes its time
But the finest moment, no man can measure
Is to look your Savior in the eyes
So take her tender to Your table
Take her from this killing floor
To taste the water that is forever
Let her be thirsty no more
It was not her time; that's a useless line
A fallen world took her life
But the God that sometimes can't be found
Will wrap Himself around you
So lay down, sister, lay down
And the God that sometimes can't be found
Will wrap Himself around you
God of goodness, God of grace
See the tears upon our face
We are restless for the day
That you come for us all
But our place is here right now
Still this place is breaking down
And some days we don't know how
We will make it all
When our hearts are breaking
And our darkest hour is upon us
When the storm is raging
God of heaven, please remember us
When the light of day is gone
And our suffering is long
We lift up our needful song
To the Maker of all
Glory, we cry Glory
It's a long way home, and the fists have flown
In the silence, there's nowhere left to run
It's the battle of our pending love
In the shadow of another smoking gun
When we dreamed this dream for the first it seemed
We could live this love for a lifetime....you and me
CHORUS:
I will not give up this fight
I will not lay down and die
I will not carry this heart of stone
I may not be your place to run
I may not be your kingdom come
I may stumble through this great unknown
But I will be all that is true
I will not give up on you
I was made to be with you alone
Cause you and me, we're gonna see...the long way home
It's a long way home, and crying is done
But the sorrow is still wet upon your face
Our colliding hearts sometimes break apart
But now the pieces are gathered up in grace
When we dream this dream for the last time we'll see
That we lived this love for a lifetime....just you and me
CHORUS
Well even in the light of day
We somehow slipped away
Into the city down by the lake.
And just beyond the crowded streets
We found a place to meet
Where the grass was greener
And how we did sing beneath our God.
(Chorus)
And the measure of that place
Was the pleasure on your face
As the music starts to rise.
And the sun did fall
But when the melody was young
Until the singers all were sung
The Maker of the skies
Well He just smiled on.
And the move was fine.
Beneath the mountain city walls
It was a picture of us all
And our hearts were laughing
As the band did play.
Until the music took our feet
To the motion of the street
This grass was bluer
And how we did dance
On the yellow lines.
(Chorus)
When the darkness finally fell
The mountains cast their spell
And we were together
With our eyes upheld
To the passion in the sky
Our God and country light
It's an endless matter.
And how we did shine,
How we did shine beneath that light.
Beneath that light
Beneath that night.
I would give my soul just to look at you
And everything I know just to see it through
To let all the others fade away
And turn all my darkness into day
My love, I would give my soul just to look at you
Would you believe in me
Or would you walk away in need
Would you believe in me
Or would you turn away and leave
Either way, my love...
I would give my soul just to look at you
If you found my heart would you run it dry
And break it all apart just to run and hide
And make all the colors fade away
Into another shade of gray
My love, I'd still give my soul just to look at you
Would you believe in me
Or would you walk away in need
Cause I don't know where, and I don't know how
But I just want to see you now
So would you believe in me
Or would you turn away and leave
Either way, my love....
Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare him room
And heaven, let heaven
Heaven and nature
Heaven and nature sing
Chorus:
Everybody sing
Joy to the world
The Lord is come
(Let Earth receive her King)
Let every heart
Prepare him room
Let heaven and nature sing
Let heaven and nature sing
Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
That the Savior is born
Let heaven, heaven
Heaven and nature sing
Let fields and flocks
Rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
The Savior is born
Let heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
And nature sing
Sing joy to the world
For the Savior reigns
And makes
His blessings flow
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim
Glory to the King
While the angels sing
(chorus)
Everybody sing joy
Sing joy to the world
All over the world
Sing joy, oh
Sing joy, everybody sing
You could turn a hundred years and never empty all your fears
They’re pouring out like broken words and broken bones
They could fill a thousand pages, be the cry for all the ages
And the song for every soul who stands alone
The ache of life is more than you are able
Hold on love, don’t give up
Don’t close your eyes
The light is breaking through the night
Step out into the day, all the clouds and all the rain are gone
It’s over now
Step out into the sun, for you have only begun to know
What it’s all about
As the hungering dark gives way to the dawn, my love
It’s over now
Time will let the story told grow and grow ‘til it unfolds
In a way that even you cannot ignore
You can say the seasons change but never if you just remain
In a place where the freeze is at your door
What you don’t know is the signs are right for the turning tide
Hold on, hold on
It won’t be long
I didn't know I would love you when I looked into your eyes
But now I have a heart I cannot keep
And the greatest of fear is that you'll leave me here
Stranded in this water so deep
So don't you turn away from me
Because my heart and my hopes, they're in your hands
If I don't seem certain
It's just a common fear from a common man
But I am in your hands
Just so you know, I have never done this sort of thing before
I've never given up my very soul
But I have heard a voice like none I've heard before
And it's a voice that never grows old
Don't you turn away from me
Because my heart and my hopes, they're in your hands
And if I don't seem certain
It's just a common fear from a common man
But I am in your hands
I am in your hands
Can I come close to you?
Hold your heart and never move
I'll never move
Well, I can't be anything I'm not
You get what you see
But I'm gonna give you everything I got
I'm not living in the in-between
I'm not living in the in-between
Can I walk right next to you?
And never stop, I'll be the proof
I'll be the proof
Well, I can't be anything I'm not
You get what you see
But I'm gonna give you everything I got
I'm not living in the in-between
I'm not living in the in-between
Look up, look up, it's like
The sky is falling down on us, on us
Wake up, wake up, it's just
This dream I have, it's made for us, for us
Whoa oh yeah, whoa oh yeah, yeah
Well, I can't be anything I'm not
You get what you see
But I'm gonna give you everything I got
I'm not living in the in-between
No, I can't be anything I'm not
You get what you see
But I'm gonna give you everything I got
I'm not living in the in-between
I've got a little hope in my pocket, I want to share a bit with you
Just be careful that you don't drop it, but don't worry if you do
'Cause I got broken down inside me, and I might just need some help
But I will get by
And I've got demons in my history, got bone beneath my skin
But I've been taken by a mystery, yes, I've been taken in
And sometimes voices down inside me try to fight me for myself
I will get by
What have I got to live for
If there's nothing beating in my chest
What have I got to live for
When this world starts turning, it's burning me up
I'm alright
I used to think love was just a barter, second hand coincidence
What doesn't kill you just makes you harder, so I used my common sense
Keeping cold to keep my distance, 'til you took my pride away
Now I will get by
I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid
And I will not go crazy here
I've got a little hope here in my pocket, I want to share a bit with you
So just be careful that you don't drop it, but don't worry if you do
'Cause I got voices down inside me, and I might just need some help
I will get by
What have I got to live for
If there's nothing beating in my chest
What have I got to live for
When this world starts turning, burning me up
When my heart is hurting, I'm learning the rough
When this world starts turning, it's burning me up
God My God, I cry out
your beloved needs you now
God be near, calm my fear
and take my doubt
your kindness is what pulls me up,
your love is all that draws me in
I will lift my eyes
to the maker, of the mountains
I can't climb
I will lift my eyes
to calmer, of the oceans
raging wild
I will lift my eyes
to the healer, of the hurt
I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to you
God my God let mercy sing
her melody over me
God right here all I bring is all of me
Your kindness is what pulls me up,
your love is all that draws me in
I will lift my eyes
to the maker, of the mountains
I can't climb
I will lift my eyes
to calmer, of the oceans
raging wild
I will lift my eyes
to the healer, of the hurt
I hold inside
cause you are
and you were
and you will be forever
The lover I need to save me
Cause you fashioned the earth
and Hold it together
God so hold me now
I will lift my eyes
to the maker, of the mountains
I can't climb
I will lift my eyes
to calmer, of the oceans
raging wild
I will lift my eyes
to the healer, of the hurt
I hold inside
God My God, I cry out
I took a walk down to the river
A broken heart in my hands
Before the Taker and the Giver
To make my final stand
I waded out into the water
And I sank just like a stone
But I was lifted by the Angel
To never be alone
And I never knew
I could lay my burdens down
And I never knew
Redemption could be found
But I know now
I saw Your mercy in the morning
In the color of the sky
I let the Spirit wash me over
And the sun began to rise
I took a walk down to the river
And I laid my burdens down
Before the Taker and the Giver
Instead of fear, instead of blinded eyes
Instead of shame, instead of all my lies
Instead of an orphan without a name
I hope you see Jesus
Instead of anger, instead of unbelief
Instead of weakness in the heart of me
Instead of a wounded soul that sometimes loses faith
I hope you see Jesus
I hope you see Jesus
I hope you see Jesus
Standing in my place
Bearing all my shame
I hope you see Jesus
Instead of voices in a faceless crowd
Instead of prophets crying out from behind a shroud
Instead of fingers pointing out the blame
I hope you see Jesus
I hope you see love, I hope you see love, I hope you see love
Oh my God, when you look on us
A broken people who have turned from love
Instead of the words we throw and the wars we wage
I hope you forgive us
I hope you see Jesus
I hope you see Jesus
I hope you see Jesus
Standing in our place
Bearing all our shame
Come along, I'll walk you through the world
And we will sing a different song
All along you have unfurled
But I will hold you from now on
I saw the day when you had lost your way
I saw the sun sinking low
I saw the night, remember how you cried
But don't you know you're not alone
No, you're not alone
I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am
Come with me, I'll take you to the sea
And it will be all beautiful
And all the water that covers everything
Cannot compare to my love
FOr you my love
I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am
WHen the light won't come
When your breath is gone
WHen your hope is done
Just look at me, look at me
I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
Hope came home,
Home to me today,
And fear has run the other way.
And words are weak;
They don't know how to say,
"You know I still believe in You."
And should my dreams fall through,
I will be safe with You.
So with every breath I can breath,
I'll sing about how You love me.
Now I praise You, Lord of all creation
You ordain the sun to rise and fall
You scatter the stars across the heavens
And You come close enough to hear me call
Now I want to say
Holy is Your name
Let all creation proclaim
Holy is Your name
Your love is the shelter over my soul
And You fill me with the wonder of a child
You will heal the humble and the broken
Mercy flows like a river running wild
Now I want to say
Holy is Your name
Let all creation proclaim
Holy is Your name
Holy is Your name
On the highest mountain
I will lift my heart to the sky
From the lowest valley
Hear my cry
Now I want to say
Holy is Your name
Let all creation proclaim
Holy is Your name
Holy is Your name
Holy is Your name
Now I want to say
(On the highest mountain)
Holy is Your name
(I will lift my heart to the sky)
Let all creation proclaim
(From the lowest valley)
Holy is Your name
Holy is Your name
Holy is Your name
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
He who was, He who is and is to come
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Never got anywhere by running away
Never learned anything without a mistake
Never loved anyone by playing it safe
It's a long way down, But I'm here right now...so
Here goes nothing, here goes everything
Gotta reach for something or you'll fall for anything
Take a breath, take a step, what comes next God only knows
But here goes
I don't wanna turn around and wonder what happened
Never lost and never found are one in the same
I wanna run across the battle lines and take my chances
Not the long way 'round, when I'm here right now...so
What good is chance not taken
What good is life not living
A love song, You must have heard a thousand times
How can mine compare?
For so long, I've wondered if I'm lost behind
A thousand tongues there, a thousand tongues there
It's all been done before, but I'll do it again
'Cause I know that You want me to
It's all been said before, but I'll say it again
'Cause I know that You love to hear it from me
I see all the ways I don't add up
And all that I never did
But You seek empty hands still lifted up
With nothing to give, nothing to give
It's all been done before, but I'll do it again
'Cause I know that You want me to
It's all been said before, but I'll say it again
'Cause I know that You love to hear it from me
More beautiful to You
Than the songs of angels and gifts of kings
More beautiful to You
Are what empty hands can bring
And what desperate tongues can sing
And when broken hearts cling to You
It's all been done before, but I'll do it again
'Cause I know that You want, You want me to
It's all been done before, but I'll do it again
'Cause I know that You want me to
It's all been said before, but I'll say it again
'Cause I know that You love to hear it from me
So hear it from me, so hear it from me
Take me to the desert
You will be the water
I will drink forever to fill my soul
Lead me through the fire of darkness and desire
You will be my shelter, You will be my shelter
I'll find you there, I'll find you there
It's here that I call out It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything I hoped you'd be
Take me to the river
Lead me to the healer
Let it wash me over, oh my soul
Take me to the mountain
Lead me to the alter
We will build together And I will remember
I found you there, I found you there...
It's here that I call out It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything
I hoped You'd be the sun that always shines
I hoped You'd be the everlasting life
It's here that I call out It's here that I fall down
It's here that I find out
That you are everything
When day is over
I'll be the color in the sky
If darkness lingers
I'll be the flame that gives you light
I just want you to notice
I just want you to feel the same
I just want you to notice
That I just want to be your everything
I just want to be your everything
On my shoulder
There is a place for you to cry
I'll be your shelter
When there is nowhere left to hide
Sometimes I see you cry
When you watch the sun go down
You're magical, so beautiful, and I...
When day is over
Could you ever look at me
The way you're looking at the ocean
All wounded in your smile, but holy and unriled
Could you ever look at me
Could you ever look at me
The way you're looking at the sunrise
How it settles on your face, whole and unafraid
Like the light of your world
And I don't know how
To chase away the fear I have inside me
And I don't know where it is you go
When you drift away, when you drift away
Could you ever look at me
The way you're looking at the ocean
Could you give to me that smile, if only for a while
Could you ever look at me
I don't know how
To find a way to keep you here beside me
And I don't know where it is you go
But it's beautiful to me, so beautiful to me
I hope you never look at me
The way you're looking at the ocean
Cause in the sunrise I have seen I was never meant to be
The days are getting cold
It's warm inside our homes
Family drawing near
Christmas time is here
Chorus:
So I'll say "Merry Christmas"
I'll wish peace to you
I'll hope for the hopeless, your dreams come true
And I'll pray for the laughter
I'll sing through the tears
I'll say Merry Christmas for all the world to hear
The smell of evergreen
A wooden manger scene
A starry night so clear
Christmas time is here
Chorus
So for a moment now
Let's lay our weapons down
When our walls disappear
Christmas time is here
You found me here
I'm barely breathing
You picked me up
But I'm still wanting more
You're the ocean deep
I'm in up to my knees
Wanting desperately to drown
You're the one bright part
Of my languid heart
You're the love
I cannot live without
I cannot live without
Please hold me close
I can't stop shaking
It's not for fear
My walls are breaking down
You're the ocean deep
I'm in up to my knees
Wanting desperately to drown
You're the one bright part
Of my languid heart
You're the love
I cannot live without
I can't live without
I can't live without You
I can't live without You
And I cannot live without You, oh
Can You hold on?
Can You hold on?
Can You hold on to me?
Because You hold everything, yeah
You're the ocean deep
I'm in up to my knees
Wanting desperately to drown
You're the one bright part
Of my languid heart
You're the love
I cannot live without
I can't live without You
go on up to the mountain of mercy
to the crimson perpetual tide
kneel down on the shore
be thirsty no more
go under and be purified
follow Christ to the Holy mountain
sinner, sorry and wrecked by the fall
cleanse your heart and your soul
in the fountain that flows
for you and for me and for all
Chorus
at the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
on that beautiful scandalous night you and me
were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
on that beautiful scandalous night
on the hillside you will be delivered
at the foot of the cross, justified
and your spirit restored
by the river that pours
from our blessed Saviour's side
- Chorus -
Bridge
you carry the sin of mankind on your back
and the sky went black
go on up to the mountain of mercy
go the crimson perpetual tide
kneel down on the shore
be thirsty no more
go under and be purified
- Chorus (2x) -
on that beautiful scandalous night
beautiful scandalous
The sun gives to a darkened sky
Blood red are the tears we cry
So far from Your design
Oh God, hear me tonight
Though the waters rise
They will not pull me under
When the mountain slides
And crashes to the sea
I will lift my eyes
And call out to You, Father
Be my covering
War-torn are the rags of every nation
Fear lives in the heart of every home
Louder than the groans of creation
Oh my love, don't you cry
I won't leave you alone tonight
So put your hand back into mine
And I will hold you until the end of time
I hung my hope on your return
Now all that sorrow so soon will burn
So tend my heart with tender hands
And see your sunshine pouring in
All the world is at my feet
Cause you came sailing back to me
So look around you and look outside
A great big love and the big blue sky
And all the spring, and all this light
Quietly slipping away are the fertile ties
that have bound us.
Behind its subtle ways you know this world
can hide and surround us.
And living in a lonely room beneath the
tomb oh, of another sky
they tell me that it's a shame not a word
was spoken as the bottom line was broken,
but it's coming back again.
And after all this time
the stillness still can shake me
to the corners of my mind
where the Angel Fire
oh, the Angel Fire shines.
She held me like the rest and wore her
summer dress so full of flowers.
And just as if to stay we loved along the
way but the time was not ours.
And standing there beneath the sun
I watched the river run
oh, as the kids float by.
It was a father and a son who made a simple
turning into a permanent good-bye,
but let's give it one more try.
And after all this time
the stillness still can shake me
to the corners of my mind
where the Angel Fire
oh, the Angel Fire shines.
Well, she held us in her morning
this one last time and we will be gone.
And looking up we watched the angels
paint the sky.
And with the passion of a picture
we made our silent ride down
just happy with this portion of our lives
And after all this time
the stillness still can shake me
to the corners of my mind
where the Angel Fire,
Verse 1:
My Lord, what love is this
That pays so dearly
That I, the guilty one
May go free!
Chorus:
Amazing love, what sacrifice
The Son of God, given for me
My debt He pays, and my death He dies
That I might live, that I might live!
(Last time only) That I might live!
Verse 2:
And so, they watched Him die
Despised, rejected
But oh, the blood He shed
Flowed for me!
Chorus:
Amazing love, what sacrifice
The Son of God, given for me
My debt He pays, and my death He dies
That I might live, that I might live!
Verse 3:
And now, this love of Christ
Shall flow like rivers
So come wash your guilt away
Live again!
Chorus:
Amazing love, what sacrifice
The Son of God, given for me
My debt He pays, and my death He dies
That I might live, that I might live!
I believe when they put her in the ground
I think they buried part of me
Because I've been searching, I've been looking all around
But I cannot find the heart of me, the heart of me
So I'll put my fingers in this soil upon her grave
And I will plant for her a garden
And every flower, a reminder of her face
Will grow up graceful as a pardon
And all that grows is her story told
As life unfolds here before us
The peace I've found in this broken ground
I can see her in the harvest...of all that I have sown
Long before I was covered up in gray
Before the old had bent my bones
We grew our children in the red Georgia clay
They were our garden and our home
And all that grows is our story told
As life unfolds here before
The peace we found in that broken ground
I can see them in the harvest...of all that I have sown
And when my life is done
I pray the kingdom come
And take me to Glory
It's living inside me
It was planted like a seed
All to tell a story
I believe when they put me in the ground
There will remain a part of me
Because I've been seraching and the joy that I have found
Wading through the aftermath
Yesterday's a photograph
Rummaging through faith to find a hope
That there will be a reckoning
Of the beauty and the beckoning
Calling me to stand on what I know
One bright hour, You will come for me
One bright hour, You'll set the captive free
One bright hour, You will wipe the tears away
From eyes that now can see one bright hour
He'll chase away the fleeting dark
From broken earth and broken heart
The holy line where joy and sorrow meet
And You will sing redemption songs
Making new what we made wrong
On the day the story is complete
One bright hour, You will come for me
One bright hour, You'll set the captive free
And one bright hour, You will wipe the tears away
From eyes that now can see one bright hour
One bright hour
I will sing Hallelujah
I will sing Hallelujah
All will sing Hallelujah
Sleep baby Jesus
Close your weary eyes
Hide yourself in faithful dreams
Before yo live yor life
Slip away to heaven
And rest in gentle peace
Never to awaken
The Lord your soul to keep
Chorus:
Cause your feet will walk on water
Your eye will pierce the dark
Your heart will save the souls of men
Your hands will bear the scars
Sleep baby Jesus
For now your time has come
To heal the wounded leper
To calm the raging storm
With perfect steps of perfect grace
You leave behind your fear
And walk along these dusty roads
Though your fate is clear
Chorus:
'Cause your feet walk on water
Your eyes pierce the dark
Your heart will save the souls of men
Your hands will bear the scars
Sleep baby Jesus
My Father and my child
Beneath this broken cross of sin
Stained with men's denial
And though you now are breathless
With thorns upon your head
Your body has been broken
So your children can be fed
Chorus:
'Cause your feet have walked on water
Your eye have pierced the dark
Your heart as saved the souls of men
There's never a day away from you
I'm not a complete mess
If I ever stay away from you
It's only emptiness
But love lasts longer
And love stands stronger
Than anything that's in between us
There's never a day away from you
Girl, you surround me
You're all around me
You capture me with everything you do
Girl, you surround me
There's never a day away from you
When I'm able to breathe
Whatever this world is coming to
I want you next to me
Because love lasts longer
And love stands stronger
Than anything that's in between us
There's never a day away from you
Girl, you surround me
You're all around me
You capture me with everything you do
Girl, you surround me
You're all around me
You capture me with everything you do
Girl, you surround me
And I know the sun will rise and fall
But we will make it through it all
Am I unfit for You
Remember me, the one who turned from You
I come in rags tattered by the Fall
And all the earth, a witness to my crime
Mercy, weep over me
Let Your tears wash me clean
Majesty, be merciful with me
For my eyes have seen Holy
Hear my prayer at night
Let the morning find me alive
For I am tired and weakened by the Fall
Let all the earth bear witness to my cry
Let the Amen sound from Heaven as You lift my soul
Let the Amen sound from Heaven as You lift my soul
The time is ours, your open arms
These frozen fields, all here at Selwood Farm
This swollen love reminds me of
Your spilling soul that somehow always fills me up
Every word is true
Gathered hearts are here just to sing their soul to you
And every word is true
I'm happy when I'm here with you, oh with you
At Selwood Farm
I see the sisters smiling
I see the light upon their face
Here is the promise that fills this place
There is an edge of winter
But there is fire that keeps us warm
This is the harvest at Selwood Farm
Every word is true
Gathered hearts are here just to sing their soul to you
And every word is true
I'm happy when I'm here with you, oh with you
At Selwood Farm
And these are the sons and daughters
They turn in the leaves then come inside
I welcome the healing of all my pride
And this is a day worth keeping
This is a day worth dwelling on
This is the day at Selwood Farm
And I don't know why, but my heart just smiles
And I know that each day we're growing older
But I still know the way
So take me to the day
Take me to the day
At Selwood Farm
A shapeless piece of steel, that's all I claim to be
This hammer pounds to give me form, this flame, it melts my dreams
I glow with fire and fury, as I'm twisted like a vine
My final shape, my final form I'm sure I'm bound to find
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for thee, the hammer holds
And the water, it cools me gray, and the hurt's subdued somehow
I have my shape, this sharpened point, what is my purpose now?
And the question still remains, what am I to be?
Perhaps some perfect piece of art displayed for all to see
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for thee, the hammer holds
The hammer pounds again, but flames I do not feel
This force that drives me, helplessly, through flesh, and wood reveals
A burn that burns much deeper, it's more than I can stand
The reason for my life was to take the life of a guiltless man
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the pain
And hurt a little, hurt for me, my future is so bold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for thee, the hammer holds
This task before me may seem unclear
Day is fading, but baby, I don’t mind
‘Cause sunlight is dancing in your eyes
And time is frozen but somehow flying by
Here with your hand holding mine
It just feels right kissing on a Sunday
I’ll hold you tight as if it were the last day
With all my might, I will keep the world away
It just feels right kissing you on a Sunday
Time is racing to the sound of my heart beating
Can the dreaming escape this life
Unfair, maybe, but know that I’m not leaving
Right now, baby, life is kind
Make this moment last for a lifetime
Don’t let it slip away
Play it over and over like your favorite song
I came walking down this road
for a better point of view
I threw down my heavy load
and what I found was You
And all of time stood still
Caught up in time and space
I was a soul to tread
All weary from the race
and the voices in my head
You stepped inside
changed my will (yeah)
Oh me Oh my
I'm standing in your silence
gonna stand here for a long long time
for a long long time
Well it's cold behind the earth
For a drifting satelite
But you know for what its worth
I've been praying for daylight
So slow my eyes to see
Oh it's finally breaking day
and the morning time has come
And if I am fields of green
Well honey you're the sun
So slowly rise on me (yeah yeah)
Oh me Oh my
I am standing in your sunlight
gonna stand here for a long long time
Take it easy
we can take it slow
I dont mind
You know the seasons
they may come and go
but you're always mine
you're always mine
Oh me Oh my
I'm standing in your silence
gonna stand here for a long long time
Oh me Oh my
I'm standing in your silence
gonna stand here for a long long time
for a long long time
I'm walking in an open field looking for some space to fill
I believe there's something left to hold
So even when the sun goes down and there's no one around
I'm standing in the freedom of my soul
And the truth of the matter is still the same
It's that you and I, we will not be here forever
The truth of the matter is still the same
I'm ready to stand
I'm ready to stand
I'm ready to stand
I'm ready to stand
I can see the earth from here, I can see it shake in fear
I can see it falling to its knees
But you know I'm not the same, my burden is a burning flame
I hold it up for all the world to see
I'm walking in an open field, looking for some space to fill
I believe there's something left to hold
And I can see the earth from here, I can see it shake in fear
I'm standing in the freedom of my soul
So even when the sun goes down, and there's no one around
Even when the sun goes down, even when the sun goes down
Even when the sun goes down, even when the sun goes down
Tonight I dreamed that I could not catch my breath
Tonight I dreamed that you were gone
And I could feel the ocean pound against my chest
In this world on my own
This frozen world...alone
But if you must go away
WOuld you find no words to say
Would you steal my heart away
Please don't go, but I know along this way
We've seen the miracles
And the long road
And the breath that blows across the water
We've seen the last line
Of a failing time
But these friends of mine are sons and daughters
Sons and daughters
Underneath a clouded sky we found a home
The mountains rising from the sea
And the falling rain washed us clean and healed our souls
The waters rise but then they fall
I close my eyes, and our summer's gone
And now you must go away
And should you find no words to say
And should you steal my heart away
Laying flat upon my back
All the world in motion
Everything goes by so fast
I feel like I'm frozen
After all is said and done
Did I fail to mention
Everything I haven't done
All my good intentions
This is my holy hour, This is my world on fire
This is my desperate play, This is where I am saved
I've no fear of height or depth
I've no fear of crashing
The single thing I fear the most
Simply feeling nothing
This is my holy hour, This is my world on fire
This is my desperate play, This is where I am made
This is my kingdom come, This is my freedom song
This is my helpless state, This is where I am saved
Let my ruins become the ground you build upon
Let my ruins become the start
Let my ruins become the ground you build it on
From what's left of my broken heart
This is my holy hour, This is my world on fire
This is my desperate play, This is where I am made
This is my kingdom come, This is my freedom song
I saw you in your mourning
Because my room was just the same
Through imaginary walls of masking tape
And somewhere past the quiet
I think I, I heard you growing up
And I, well I don't think I'll ever be the same
And Dad was there beside us
He'd sing us into dreams
Of good ole' Blue and seen old roads
To die on
And river days of heat and haze
We'd run until the sun would fade
And he'd carry us up to our beds at night
CHORUS:
And now we see this different angle
A second glance of life
In a world where fathers leave their boys
For the finer things
I can still remember laughing
So hard it hurts my heart
To think that we were just the lucky few
And all along I never even knew
The light of day upon us
But now the scenery had changed
The Coventry was gone 'fore noon arises
Just bigger boys with bigger toys
And separate rooms to stop the noise
And we, we're still to young to know the finest call
But the holidays and candles brought the aging of our youth
The burning of all the innocence
Disguising all the truth
But our sunburned skin kept the taste of the salt
To fire the feelings we'd always fought
We'd found a new companion just 'fore the fall
REPEAT CHORUS
A season brought us back again
Just the three of us, alone
And if you ever see my heart fall again
Please pick it up, and bring it home
I saw you in your mourning
Because my room was just the same
Through imaginary walls of masking tape
And somewhere past the quiet
I think I heard you growing up
Sometimes the night was beautiful,
sometimes the sky was soo far away,
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came to soon
sometimes the day could be soo hot
There was so much work left to do,
but soo much you'd already done
Ohh god you are my god,
and I will ever praise you [x2]
I will seek you in the morning
And I will learn to walk in your ways
And step by step you'll lead me
And I will follow you all of my days
Sometimes I think of abraham
how one star he saw had been led for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I have that no less than he,
And on this road to righteousness,
Sometimes the climb can be soo steep
I may falter in my step but never beyond your reach
Ohh god you are my god,
and I will ever praise you [x2]
I will seek you in the morning
And I will learn to walk in your ways
And step by step you'll lead me
And I will follow you all of my days
Ohh god you are my god,
and I will ever praise you [x2]
I will seek you in the morning
And I will learn to walk in your ways
And step by step you'll lead me
And I will follow you all of my days
And i will follow you all of my days
And I will follow you all of my days
And Step be step you'll lead me
And I will follow you all of my days
(Sometimes the night was beautiful)
Remember the time when i thought of letting go
And taking back my hand
When all i could think was how long can i follow you
And where do i stand in this world
I lost my faith, my reason to believe
When i refused to see
Oh Lord, you carried me
And just like a soldier
You battle for my soul
But more like a father
You come and take me home
What is the worth of a man living for himself
With a heart of his own
And every day goes in and out, still without a sign of life
But father wont you please give me more
When everything is closing in on me
I know you set me free the day you died for me
And how is this man who calls me by name
And covers himself with all of my shame
But not even death could make you surrender
[Verse 1:]
Take my heart, and wring it out
In Your hands and watch it all collapse
Take Your Love, and drive it in
Into my soul, and never leave again...because
[Chorus:]
I am so afraid that I'll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, looking for a home
I am so afraid that I'll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, Lookin for a home
So don't leave me here alone
[Verse 2:]
All Your hope, and all my pride
All this time to watch it all collide
When everyone seems to say, âYou can work it outâ
Under my skin, I'm shaking and I can't get out
[Chorus]
So don't leave me here
[Bridge:]
This is not what You've said; it's all in my head
And I throw my anger at You instead
So don't give up on me, I want to believe
That You'll never leave me, but...
I am so afraid that I'll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, looking for a home
I am so afraid that I'll find myself alone
Deep into the ages, deep into the fold
I am so afraid that I'll find myself alone
Looking for a savior, looking for a home
Find me, where you can find me
So tired of hiding behind these songs
And take me where you will take me
Back to a place I've known all along
The voice that calms the waves, sing out
And call my name
Sing over me, Sing over me
Sing above the noise that I've been making
Sing over me, Sing over me
All I ever needed was to hear your melody
All I ever needed was to hear your melody
Wake me, come on and wake me
So tired of living like I'm asleep
And hold me the way you hold me
How you unfold all this unbelief
The voice that calms the waves, sing out
And call my name
Sing over me, Sing over me
Sing away the silence that is breaking
Sing over me, Sing over me
All I ever needed was to hear your melody
All I ever needed was to hear your melody
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling like Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all
The bustle you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Tell me now, when does this start feeling
Like I understand everything I'm dealing with
First I was young, now it's all just happening
And what about the way I said that
Made You turn around and shake your head
Like I don't even know what I'm asking for
Well, this could be all about just letting go
Or this could be all about just holding on
I can't get my feet off of the ground
I wanna run but I don't know how
Can You reach down here and pull me out
Can You pull me out? Yeah
I wanna scream but there’s no sound
I wanna fly to You somehow
Can You reach me here and pull me out
Can You pull me out? Yeah
Remember when I was young and hungry
I could take it in, without much money
I had nothing at all but dreams and time to kill
And now I feel like I'm treading water
And I'm hardly real, I'm just trying harder
To make my way on the earth by standing still
Well, this could be all about just letting go
Or this could be all about just holding on
I can't get my feet off of the ground
I wanna run but I don't know how
Can You reach down here and pull me out
Can You pull me out? Yeah
I wanna scream but there's no sound
I wanna fly to You somehow
Can You reach me here and pull me out
Can You pull me out? Yeah
Not a moment too soon, You will be my rescue
But tell me how long will it take? Yeah
I can't get my feet off of the ground
I wanna run but I don't know how
Can You reach me here and pull me out
Can You pull me out?
I can't get my feet off of the ground
I wanna run but I don't know how
Can You reach down here and pull me out
Can You pull me out? Yeah
I wanna scream but there's no sound
I wanna fly to You somehow
Can You reach me here and pull me out?
Can You pull me out?
Can You pull me out?
Deep in the night
Far past the point of slumber
I was wrapped in a love
It was woven fine
And it pulled me under
And I, I didn't want to leave her
And I didn't want to treat her
Like the story of my life
Just like that night
Love was fading fast
Leaving me cold inside
And where is that part
That houses all my fear
And which is the road that I take from here
Where is this world, where is this world
Where is my seam to find the picture of things
Just down my road in that place
Would quickly go by
I found, in a world of its own
A secret flower
And I didn't know why
But I, I didn't want to leave it
But I knew I couldn't keep it
Somewhere in this desert heart of mine
And miles away I'm out of breath
And I'm outta my mind
And where is that part
That houses all my fear
And which is the road that i take from here
And where is this world, where is this world
Where is my seam to find the picture of things
And I know that time will come
And when all the words are said
And I know that time will be
When I consider my source instead of me
So pay no mind
No its just feel I guess
I'm just lonley
So i'm holding you agian
I'm just lonely
So i'm holding you again
I'm just lonely
They say you cannot walk before you crawl
I wonder why, I wonder why
Because everybody dreams before they fall
A wonder world and then we lose it all
But I will dream of tomorrow
Where the past will not be in my way
Passion lives another day
And I will dream of tomorrow
Where perhaps she'll wait for me
And every single heart that I have held
In my hands, in my clumsy hands
I fumbled them around until they fell
It's much safer ground just keeping to myself
But I still dream of tomorrow
Where the past will not be in my way
Passion lives another day
And I still dream of tomorrow
Where perhaps she'll wait for me
Feels like a brand new day
And I know I’m not the same
Because I see you and I need you
And I know I couldn’t leave you if I tried
to walk away
Chorus
Your love won’t bring me down
I’m living that long, long life
And I will not let you go
It’s taken a long, long time to get here
It could be a long, long ride
But I will not let you go
Cause love will be our mystery.
So let’s leave this world behind
And see what we can find
Cause I don’t need it
But believe it,
And I know I couldn’t keep it if I tried
Cause you change my mind
(Chorus)
Our mystery
Our mystery….
We won’t be alone
living that long, long life
And I will not let you go
It’s taken a long, long time to get here
It could be a long, long ride
But I will not let you go
Cause love will be our mystery.
Our mystery
Was it You who spoke the earth to be?
And wrapped it all in mystery
For the taking, for the taking
Is it Thee who turns away my soul?
From evidence so beautiful
That You gave me, that You gave me
When I've fallen in the shadows of the sun
Only You remain the hope of what's to come
'Cause on a night like tonight, You bring me to life
And remind me there's another side of day
Where I will see all that You are
More than a sky full of stars
And the worries of this world will fall away
On the other side of day
Is it time that gets the best of us?
Reminding all the rest of us
That it's fading, yeah, it's fading
Oh, but You still hold the hands of time
And pave the way to paradise
Can You take me? Yeah, can You take me?
'Cause the world is just a shadow of the sun
Only You remain the hope of what's to come
'Cause on a night like tonight, You bring me to life
And remind me there's another side of day
Where I will see all that You are
More than a sky full of stars
And the worries of this world will fall away
On the other side of day
Where all who are alone, finally make it home
To a world of wonder, where love is not a lie
And all who seek will find, their search is finally over
'Cause on a night like tonight, You bring me to life
And remind me there's another side of day, yeah
Where I will see all that You are
More than a sky full of stars
And the worries of this world will fall away
The sky was the color of morning
And the mountains surrounded
The ground as our bed.
The Spirit would rise without warning
Just to burn like the sun
That would soon warm our hands.
And the world was three days behind us,
And the world was three days ahead.
But for now no one could find us
In the wilderness.
Only bound by the burdens we brought,
But we were slowly releasing them
Along the way.
Pride was the battle we fought
Until we opened our eyes
To the Light of that day
The past towered before us,
But we could see the top of the trail.
So we climbed with strength we're not born with
And we were rising...
We stood on that mountain,
We turned to the sky.
With trembling inside,
We lifted our eyes
And pulling us higher...
Was something Divine
That gave us that time
On the Divide.
It was something Divine
That gave us that time
On the Divide.
So we turned from our view at the top
With a vision so clear
And the sun in our face.
And back to the valley we walked
Knowing everything good
Has its time and its place.
New life was burning inside us
Still it hurt turning to home.
But the same Spirit would guide us
That we had seen when...
We stood on that mountain,
We turned to the sky.
With trembling inside,
We lifted our eyes
And pulling us higher...
Was something Divine
That gave us that time
On the Divide.
It was something Divine
That gave us that time
If there is a love song left to sing
Then what I have is what I'll bring
Nothing more is more than I can give
If there is a light left in my eyes
It must be your reflection from the sky
Cause all I know is this
You are the wonder of my world
You are an ocean that I can get lost in
The first wind on my shore
You are the sunrise to open my eyes
And the dark night is no more
You are an ocean, You are an ocean
Every time I turn around
There's so much more left to be found
And every glimpse steals my breath away
So open up these eyes to see
More of you and less of me
And all my fear is turning into faith
You are the wonder of my world
I'm drowning in your love
I'm drowning in your love
Not coming up
I'm not coming up
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
We saw the sunrise over the city
We saw the Angel lifting her eyes
You were the only one who could see me
I never meant to push you aside
I let love slip away
Now that you're gone, now that you're gone
I'm finally crawling out in the open
I took too long, I just took too long
And all that I ever wanted is broken
Now that you're gone
So much for keeping all I was feeling inside
So many words I wanted to say
So good the reasons I was hiding behind
So good for nothing at the end of the day
I let you slip away
I know you say we all fall down
I know you say we all fall down
I know you say we all fall down
Take these hands and lift them up
For I have not the strength
To praise You near enough
For I have nothing
I have nothing without You
Take my voice and pour it out
And let it sing the songs of mercy
I have found
For I have nothing
I have nothing without You
And all my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing without You
So take my body and build it up
May it be broken
As an offering of love
For I have nothing
I have nothing without You
And all my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world will see
That I have nothing
I love You
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my mind
With all the strength that I can find
And all my soul needs
Is all Your love to cover me
So all the world can see
That I have nothing
Take my time here on this earth
And let it glorify all that You are worth
For I am nothing
I am the lonely
The ones who slip away
I am the secret
The words we dare say
I am the promise I'm about to break...again
I am the leader
Who cannot find the way
I am the preacher
Who somehow lost the faith
I am the begger reaching out my hands...again
And I never saw you coming
I could never dream of running
I have never known such love before my God
You come, come and breathe your breath in me
Steal away what's left of me
'Til you are mine and I am yours
I am the lover with no one to hold
I am the seeker with an empty soul
I am everyone who's ever lost hope
And I never saw you coming
I could never dream of running
I have never known such love before my God
You come, come and breathe your breath in me
Steal away what's left of me
'Til you are mine and I am yours
Fall like stars on my shore
Still you are so much more
And I never saw you coming
I could never dream of running
I have never known such love before my God
You come, come and breathe your breath in me
Steal away what's left of me
'Til you are mine and I am yours
My love, will you take my hand and run
My love, can't you see that we have just begun
When she walks into a room, the whole world freezes
To watch her spin just like the wind above the ground
She won't break into you heart, she just eases
Without a sound...
My love is deeper than the darkness of my soul
And my love has the habit of forgetting to let go
And the crowd was pressing inlike perfect strangers
That was the day I felt her hand slip out of mine
She looked at me and I don't think she even wavered
As she waved goodbye...
She did not cry...
But she waved goodbye...
My love, why did you take my heart and run
I can tell by this crack of light
Oh girl this is gonna be, it's gonna be a beautiful day
And I can tell by this stretch of silver
Spreading all out across the curves of your face
And for the love, for the love of God
I've gathered up my pride, I've gathered up my bits and bone
And in a world that broke me down
I'm standing up, but not alone
'Cause this is a healing song, oh and I've got a heart that fails
But love is pushing me along, I'm lifting up above this veil
This is a healing song, oh and I don't know if you can tell
But love is pushing me along
I'm pressing up against the rail, pressing up against the rail
I can smell the summer in the air
And I swear I can almost see, I can almost see my soul
Son, I know that it don't seem fair
But I'm turning away from here, and oh Lord, I am coming home
I've got friends here that love me
I've got all this mercy beating in my blood
And I've got friends here that love me
And that's something good, that's something good
You and I, we've come so far
We've come so far, we cannot look back
I said you and I, we've come so far
We've come so far, we cannot look back
I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far)
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)
We cannot look back (you and I cannot look back)
I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far)
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)
Have Yourself
A Merry Little Christmas
Let Your Heart Be Light
From Now On
Our Troubles
Will Be Out Of Sight
Have Yourself
A Merry Little Christmas
Make The Yule-Tide Gay
From Now On
Our Troubles
Will Be Miles Away
Here We Are As In Olden Days
Happy Golden Days Of Yore
Faithful Friends
Who Are Dear To Us
Gather Near To Us Once More
Through The Years
We All Will Be Together
If The Fates Allow
Hang A Shining Star
Upon The Highest Bough
And Have Yourself
Sometimes at night, I am afraid
I cover my eyes, I cover my shame
So here in the dark, broken apart
Come with Your light and fill up my heart
Oh Great Light of the world fill up my soul
I'm half a man here so come make me whole
Oh Great Light of the world, come to impart
The light of Your grace to fill up my heart
The wind of this world can push us around
Folding us up backing us down
But here in the dark I'm not alone
So come with Your strength and carry me home
Oh Great Light of the world fill up my soul
I'm half a man here so come make me whole
Oh Great Light of the world, come to impart
The light of Your grace
Oh Great Light of the world fill up my soul
I'm half a man here so come make me whole
Oh Great Light of the world, come to impart
The light of Your grace to fill up my heart
Oh God of heaven come and hem me in
Gather the pieces that are broken
Show me the wonder of you again
Oh God of heaven
God of my hope, God of my need
God of my pain that no one else will ever see
God of my healing, God of my strength
God who has always and will forever reign
God of my Everything
In all creation you call my name
In all the beauty that this world displays
Still I'm the one for whom your heart aches
In all creation
And when the mountains shake
You are my God
You never change
And when the earth gives way
You are still God
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Hey go
Tell it on that mountain
Jesus Christ is born
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I say go
Tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds
kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Down in that lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
God sent to us salvation
Born that Christmas morn
Hey go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
I said go
Tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born
I say go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Hey go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on the mountain
Everything is alright, everything is so bright
Yeah, the sun is shining beautiful
And everyone is singing, everyone is dreaming
Yeah, the world is so colorful
And You look back at me and
You know it makes me sing
I'm finding You in everything that shines
I'm finding You in between the line
I'm finding You, You open up my eyes everytime
'Cause Your love is so alive
Maybe You could stop time, hanging onto daylight
Doesn't ever have to go away
I could sing a new song, maybe get the word's wrong
But You know just what I wanna say
'Cause when You look at me
You know I still believe
I'm finding You in everything that shines
I'm finding You in between the line
I'm finding You, You open up my eyes everytime
'Cause Your love is so alive
When broken things are healed
And we may fly away
You'll make me sing
Everything is alright, everything is so bright
Yeah, Your love is shining beautiful
And everyone is singing, everyone is dreaming
And I'm feeling so alive
I'm finding You in everything that shines
I'm finding You in between the line
I'm finding You, You open up my eyes everytime
Angels on a subway
She's buried in a magazine
Stuck inside a replay
Of someone else's dream
Prophets made of paper
Don't tell her anything
She wants someone to save her
So she lifts her head and screams,
lifts her head and screams,
lifts her head and screams
CHORUS
"I don't know you
But I love you anyway
I can't see you
But I hope you're here to stay
I don't know you
But I need you here with me
'cause I'm falling,
Falling...... down"
Now angels on a runway
Looking for a jet plane
To take her to a new day
She won't be back,
won't be back again
And she says,
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You're on my side
You're just in time
I'm on my way
knowing you won't mind
But I want you back again
CHORUS
When I'm falling, falling.... down
Sometimes when I'm all alone
I don't know if I can take another breath
Some say home is where the heart is
Tell me where my home is 'cause I'm scared to death
Falling from the rooftop, crashing like a raindrop
Can you make my heart stop shaking like a leaf?
Standing at the floodgate, steady as an earthquake
Can you hear my heart break tearing at the seams?
I am drifting in the deep end
Holding on to your hand is all that saves me now
Life can treat you like a beggar
You hold me together, but I don't know how
Falling from the rooftop, crashing like a raindrop
Can you make my heart stop shaking like a leaf?
Standing at the floodgate, steady as an earthquake
Can you hear my heart break tearing at the seams?
Some say home is where the heart is
And my heart is in your hands, you are all I need
Rising from the ashes, lifted from the madness
Now you see my heart is deep enough to dream
Heal me from the deathblow, lead and I will follow
Now you feel my heart glow mending at the seams
I am drifting in the deep end
I am drifting in the deep end
Rising from the ashes, lifted from the madness
Now you see my heart is deep enough to dream
Heal me from the deathblow, lead and I will follow
Now you feel my heart glow mending at the seams
Rising from the ashes, lifted from the madness
Now you see my heart is deep enough to dream
Heal me from the deathblow, lead and I will follow
Now you feel my heart glow mending at the seams
I am drifting in the deep end
I am drifting in the deep end
On a day like this
I want to crawl beneath a rock
A million miles from the world
The noise, the commotion
That never seems to stop
And on a day like this
I want to run away from the routine
Run away from the daily grind
That can suck the life, right out of me
I only know one place I can run to
I want to hide in You
The way, the life, the truth so I can disappear
And love is all there is to see coming out of me
And You become clear as I disappear
I don't want to care about earthly things
Be caught up in all the lies that trick my eyes
They say it's all about me
I'm so tired of it being about me
I want to hide in You
The way, the life, the truth and I can disappear
And love is all there is to see coming out of me
And You become clear as I disappear
I would rather be cast away
Separated from the human race
If I don't bring You glory
If I don't bring You glory
If I don't bring You glory
'Cause I want to hide in You
The way, the life, the truth and I can disappear
And love is all there is to see coming out of me
She turned her head as if to hide, there was just nowhere to go
'Cause standing tall on every side, the mighty fear of letting go
She said, my God I'm so ashamed, thirty years a tragedy
I still believed that he could change, but he pulled me down like gravity
He broke my will, but it's deeper still, deeper still
She told me morning was the time, when the sun burned bright and clean
And love grew fragile on the vine, all wrapped up in gold and green
'Cause after all we know we all are after all the same things
But for the sun no rain would fall, and it burned him up and turned him mean
This fire that kills me, it's deeper still, deeper still
Tonight I rose up with the moon, and looking down from high above
I saw a world carved and confused into valleys deep in need of love
And falling down all thick with grace, Heaven's cloud of mystery
Was filling every empty space, down to the depth of human need
This love that heals, it's deeper still
(love that heals me, love that heals me, love that's deeper still)
(love that heals me, love that heals me, love that's deeper still)
We planned to leave early
And to pack unheavy
Because the truck was getting full.
But the same old fear
At the end of the year
Wouldn't let us leave so soon.
The Blue Ridge Mountains were calling,
The rain was falling,
The wind was in our faces.
And above the sound
Of the engine I found us
Arriving at those places.
I've heard you say a
Thousand times
That we could never leave
This town,
But where were you last night
When the sun went down.
The rain proved steady
And as our packs wore heavy
With the weight of our survival.
The woods rang loud
With the love of our God
And the sound of our revival.
The summer wind turned colder
As the day grew older,
The night would soon surround us.
The Curtis Falls
Had a view of it all
As the snow fell all around us.
I've heard you say a
Thousand times
That we could never leave
This town,
But where were you last night
When the sun went down.
I was singing alone,
You were standing on the side.
And the water so warm
As you walked the mountain side,
And you washed my feet and cried.
Well, the days passed quickly
And our time was over
Three souls the same in sorrow.
But the Reds and rain
Put an intimate stain
On the start of our tomorrow.
And soon our pieces will scatter
In a world of anger,
The only thing to free us
Is the part of man
That we don't understand
That found a place between us.
I've heard you say a
Thousand times
That we could never leave
This town,
But where were you last night
Cover me, cover up my tears
Cover up this man who's covered up in fear
I need a peace of mind, I need a piece of you
TO cover all that's gone and everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me, then you hold me
Cover up my heart, cover up my soul
Cover up this world and everything I know
You cover up the sky, you cover up the sea
Cover up the mountains and every part of me
Everything single breath I breathe...cover me
I am still alive and covered up in years
Covered up in lines as innocence appears
So give me a peace of mind, give me a piece of you
To cover all that's old with everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
And you unfold me, then you hold me
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me then you hold me
I want to shed this skin
You unveil me with your mercy
You unfold me, then you hold me
Britney I'm sorry for the lies we told
We took you into our arms and then left you cold
Britney I'm sorry for this cruel, cruel world
We sell the beauty but destroy the girl
Britney I'm sorry for your broken heart
We stood aside and watched you fall apart
I'm sorry we told you fame would fill you up
And money moves the man so drink the cup
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
You never see it coming back
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
But I can see it coming back for you
Yes coming back for you
Britney I'm sorry for the stones we throw
We tear you down just so we can watch the show
Britney I'm sorry for the words we say
We point the finger as you fall from grace
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
You never see it coming back
And I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
But I can see it coming back for you
Yeah, it's coming back for you,
Yeah, it's coming back for you,
Yeah, it's coming back for you, yeah
Britney I do believe that love has come
Here for the broken
Here for the ones like us
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
You never see it coming back
And I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
But I can see it coming back
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back
You never see it coming back
I can see it coming back for you
It's coming back for you... yeah
I am a barren land
And it’s all I can do to stand
I am thirsty, I am thirsty
Father, reach out Your hand
I have given all that I can
Still I’m sinking, I’m still sinking
I want to run into the deep
And let the deep call out to me
I want to lose myself in Your love
So let it rain down over me
As I fall down to my knees
Let the ocean rise to meet me
I need You to bring me to life
Well of eternal things
Endless is all the life You bring
Be the water that I long for
And show me Your Kingdom Come
Father and let Your will be done
Today I woke up early, today I woke up sad
It's funny how it hurts me, the love I've never had
But I can feel you breaking me through this mess
I can feel you through this loneliness
Show me that
Life shines with you
You show me that
Life shines with you
Break me through
I think that I can hear it
Is it a trumpet or a train
And now I'm drawing near it
And it's calling out my name
I got nothing to lose
I got nothing to prove in this mess
There's nothing to lose
But all this emptiness
If I had a ladder
To reach up to the sky
I would climb up there forever
It would just be you and I
And I would feel you
Breaking me through this mess
I would feel you
Take my hand and walk with me a while
Cause it seems your smile has left you
And don't give in, when you fall apart
And your broken heart has failed you
I'll set a light up
On a hilltop
To show you my love
For this world to see
You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on
'Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine
Take my love when all that you can see
Is the raging sea all around us
And don't give up 'cause I'm not letting go
And the God we know will not fail us
We'll lay it all down
As we call out
Sweet Savior
help our unbelief
You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on
'Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine
When you are weak
Unable to speak
You are not alone
The God who has saved us
Will never forsake us
he's coming to take us
Take us to our home
You can borrow mine
When your hope is gone
Borrow mine
When you can't go on
'Cause the world will not defeat you
When we're side by side
When your faith is hard to find
When your faith is hard to find
You can borrow mine
Take my hand
Take my love
Don't give in
They never knew a dark night
always had the Son's light
on their face
Perfect in glory
Broken by the story
of untold grace...
come that day
Majesty had come down
Glory had succumed now
to flesh and bone
In the arms of a manger
In the hands of strangers
that could not know
Just who they hold
Chorus:
And the angels filled the sky
All of heaven wondered why
Why their King would choose to be
Be a baby born to die
And all fell silent
For the cry of an infant,
the voice of God
Was dividing history
For those with eyes to see,
the Son would shine
From earth that night
Chorus
Bridge:
To break the chains
Of guilt and sin
To find us here
To pull us in
So we can join in Heaven's song
And with one voice around the throne
Chorus:
All the Angels filled the sky
And I can't help but wonder why
Why the King would choose to be
Be a baby born for me
I don't have a lot to give
This broken world can make it hard to live
I got nothing left to say
My empty words have simply gone away
But this big blue sky
Shows me all that I have got
And you're by my side
To be everything I'm not
The angels sigh
I breathe deep the breath of God
I cannot find another sky
My thoughts are heavy and they cloud my eyes
But when I'm searching for the sun
You rise up quickly with your kingdom come
I'm coming alive
Nothing is good apart from you
I'm coming alive...with you
I may not have a lot to give
This broken world can make it hard to live
I may have nothing left to say
I can't stand the sound
Of losing control
But whenever you're around
I can't find the breath to speak at all
I need you to be careful with me...
CHORUS:
Please don't go away
Please don't leave me here
I know if you don't stay
My heart will disappear...
I need beautiful you
Your love brings me in
And swallows me whole
But underneath your skin
Is the only peace I know
All that I need is you here with me...
A page is turned by the wind to a boy in curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told
He finds salvation but not at the hands of man
But God of second chance
Picked him up and He let him dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time preparing him the one
To hold him up when he comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And now a man, here you stand
Your day has come
A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl
With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled
By the language in her soul that's teaching her to grow
With a careful cover of love that will not fail
And the God of second chance
Picked her up and He let her dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing her the one
To hold her up when she comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And grown up tall, here you are
Your day has come
Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by his hand
Warm within the ardor, she took his heart instead
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand
Just for her hand
A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife
And there is no secret to the source of this much life
When the grace that falls like rain is washing them again
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land
Where the God of second chance
Will pick them up and he'll let them dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time they're sharing with the one
That holds them up when they come undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And once again, here you stand
I said, once again, here you stand
Can I feel the sun?
Breaking through the gray I'm lost within
Can I hear the wind?
Like a secret telling me I'll live again
I need you
All your thoughts, let them fall
Like a million raindrops
On this desolate ground I'm standing on
Every word from your lips
Like a father's kiss
That all my life I've waited on
Can I walk the line?
Tell me, will you be my safety net?
Can you save a life?
Tangled up in weakness and regret
I know you can
All your thoughts, let them fall
Like a million raindrops
On this desolate ground I'm standing on
Every word from your lips
Like a father's kiss
That all my life I've waited on
That all my life I've waited on
I'm crying out to you
I'm crying out to you, yeah
There's nothing left to lose
There's nothing left to prove, yeah
I'm crying out to you
I'm crying out to you
All your thoughts, let them fall
Like a million raindrops
On this desolate ground I'm standing on
Every word from your lips
Like a father's kiss
That all my life I've waited on
All your thoughts, let them fall
Like a million raindrops
On this desolate ground I'm standing on
Every word from your lips
Like a father's kiss
That all my life I've waited on
