REDWOOD TREES
Under my roof and the ceiling , right above the ground
Is the onliest girl behind blue eyes and curls who could bring it all crashing down
I’ve known her for years and I’ve wiped away tears
But I don’t think that I’ve scratched the surface
Everyone thinks they see, but she’s a deep mystery
And no one really knows it, but
Her heart is softer than the warmest summer breeze
And her love is stronger than them ancient Redwood trees
She runs fast and falls hard and folks who don’t know call her ‘wild’
Like anyone could know a girl from a phrase like, ‘the classic middle child’
And stubborn and clumsy, I’m hopeless as can be at learning to love well
But she’s gentle and kisses me, loves and forgives me
When I don’t do so well by
Her heart is fragile and she wears it on her sleeve
And her love is stronger than them ancient Redwood trees
interlude
Her heart is lovely like an old-time melody
And her love is stronger than them ancient Redwood trees

YOUR GAZE
Turn off Your gaze, it is blazing and superimposing Yourself upon me
My obsessive, compulsively, ordered, disorderly conduct thrown into relief
But all You seem to do is steadily just stare right through me
And I cower underneath everything You might see
When it is crowded, I am shrouded by association of our history
Our family tree limbs are passing down low expectations and sewing up leaves
There’s nothing I can do, and yet there’s so much I can do
I cower underneath Your perception of me
When on the last day, You tear back the sky
And un-secret the secrets of everyone, everywhere
And I am exposed like the day I was born
Under microscope eyes who know everything, everything
I cannot outrun everything that I have done
And though I cower, though I hide, yet You open up my eyes
And You say, “Well done.” You say, “Well done.”
‘Cause You don’t just see me, You purchased, redeemed me
And turned all my wrong upside down
Your gaze is affection and constant protection
And pleasure-filled laughter’s the sound I hear

I’LL SING TO YOU
I’ll hold you up when you are down
Won’t let your tears even touch the ground
I’ll give you my eyes and I won’t make a sound
Until it is time to chase away the frown
Then I’ll sing to you all night
I’ll sing your tears away
I’ll sing the pretenders so you can remember
That I’m here to stay
And if you lose your grip I’ll hold your hand,
When no one else knows, I’ll understand
When you just get so tired you can’t even stand
Whatever you can’t do, I’ll be the one who can
And I’ll sing to you tonight,
Tonight there’ll be no morning star
And you will smile for me when I sing “West Side Story”
And banish your troubles afar
And I’ll sing for you tonight
And I’ll sing to you for keeps
When the days just get too long I’ll write you a love song
And sing you right down to sleep

QUAINT BUT TRUE
Once I saw this car flying, burning up the tar, driving
Right through the intersection,
Red light, one way, wrong direction
“Hold on baby, we’re almost there!”
Once I saw this guy fight a monster twice his size
With rolled up sleeves and balled up fists
He looked him in the eye, said this:
“Hey you, let’s go!” Then he smiled right at his girl
Why oh why
Would you break all the rules, would you take a black eye?
It’s quaint but true
When you’re in, when you’re in love
There’s nothing you won’t do
Once I saw this boy sell his very favorite toy
But the toil and sweat didn’t mean a thing
Compared to that new diamond ring
“Oh please, say yes.” And she did.
Once I saw this girl bring a child into the world
With pain like death right to the end
Then two years passed, she smiled and said,
“Let’s try again, I don’t think I’m done.”
Why oh why
Would you give your heart, would you almost die?
It’s quaint but true
When you’re in, when you’re in love
There’s nothing you won’t do
Once I saw this Dad give the only Son He had
He was hunted, hated, underrated,
Tortured, murdered, desecrated
“Turn out the lights, I don’t want to see.”
Once I saw this Son, and He was the only One
Walked willingly right to His death,
Gave His life, His blood, His breath,
Forgive them, they don’t know what they do
Why oh why
Would you give your child, would you give your life?
It’s quaint but true
When you’re in, when you’re in love
There’s nothing you won’t do

I WANTED TO
The pavement burns my pale, bare feet
With that stored up August heat
But I will walk on down the road with You
You say, “Well, put some shoes up on them toes,
And here’s a tissue for your nose,
Who said this would be easy to do?”
Did You bring some food to eat
Or will I faint on this here street,
And honey, do You have to walk so fast?
You say, “I’ve food to eat you know not of
And I only get faint with love
But here’s a bite, all you had to do was ask.”
Well, I wanted to, as much as I could choose
I wanted to walk down the road with You
And it might be hard to step up off this yard
But I wanted to walk down the road with You
Don’t You think I’m getting strong,
I ain’t complained in oh, so long,
And please, oh please tell me we’re almost there
You say, “Let them tears roll down your cheeks,
There’s nothing wrong with being weak,
And I will never leave you alone, I swear.” (CHORUS)
Sometimes I just wanna run
Back to the shade from this blazing sun
And I just cannot go another mile
You say, “Baby, we are almost there
With no more sorrows, no more cares
Hang on to me for just a little while (CHORUS)

CROWBAR
How much would it mean to you if I grabbed a crowbar
And pried open my skin, wrenched my ribs back and showed you every
Thumping, beating, quick succeeding chamber of my living heart?
Would you skip the track and say, “That’s nice.”
Or would you maybe listen once or twice?
It may not be your style and that is cool, I can’t expect you
To see this as your child, but understand, from what I’ve been through
The pained contractions, progress by fractions, labored pushing, then it’s here
And I can hear that tiny chorus cry
Listen, don’t you think he’s got my eyes
It’s not for you. Now, that is a lie.
It’s all for you, so what if I wait
With baited breath
For you to say you liked it and it’s good
It’s uncomfortable, I know that I’ve said more than I should
And I’m responsible, I feel a bit like Luna Lovegood
I’ll keep trying, you keep spying and I’ll keep handing you the key
But mainly ‘cause I cannot turn it off

LONESOME
There is nothing quite like David Mead
At a steady speed
Down the road in the dark
There is nothing quite like you and me
Quiet as can be
That familiar spark
But there you go away
If i drive real slow, can i make you stay?
I tap the beat on the steering wheel with my thumb
Oh, i’m so lonesome today
All that’s fun and good is bittersweet
‘Cause you’re not with me
And I want to share
So I sit on the couch, prop up my feet
Well I sleep and eat
With that aimless stare
I know it’s just a couple days
I whine and fuss but I can’t change
When I see me in the mirror, I look so glum
And I feel lonesome today
Oh I’m so lonesome today

SO I RAN
The coffee’s black, the light is red
It won’t change back, like the words that I said
And the nonstop raindrops fall on my head
You say I lie, well okay
But what was I supposed to say?
Stranded, redhanded, I ran away
So I ran for cover
And I ran for keeps
Thought if I don’t see you
Then You can’t leave me
The sun is low, but rising now
By this time You know that I’m not around
I’m brittle and little and broken on the ground
I know I should turn after while
But I just won’t learn, and I won’t see You smile
A manufactured, fractured hurt is my style
(CHORUS)
The coffee’s black, the light is green
I want to go back, but don’t want to be seen
Beside me, it can’t be, it’s You... You found me
Oh You ran to find me
And You ran so hard
You thought if You could just have me
You would give Your heart

WHAT IF IT DOESN’T WORK
I know what you want to say, But I’m gonna live this my own way
I’m the only one who can decide
I’ll cover up, wear a disguise, keep it all behind these eyes
And I will not let anyone inside
Isn’t life about right now?Well I don’t really care just how,
But show me something I have never done
Everyone I know wants more, I’m not the only one who’s bored
So come on, I just want to have some fun
What if it doesn’t work and I’ve wasted all this time
What if it’s only hurt that I’ve bottled up inside of me
And What if every promise I’ve believed was just a lie
And I find myself alone and asking, “Why?”
I want everyone to think I’m even better than I seem
So I close up and hide behind this smile
Sure it’s fake, yes it’s a show and by this time I am quite the pro
But maybe it will come true after while
(CHORUS)
Does anyone know anyone who’s really, truly real?
I cannot be the only one who feels the way I feel, for real.
I tell you it doesn’t work, and I’ve wasted so much time
I have got years of hurt bottled up inside of me
And every single promise I’ve believed has been a lie
Is there anyone who can make me new inside?

RANSOM ME
Or, The Sad and Sorry Tale of Bracton’s Own Mark Studdock
What am i supposed to say,
And can you show me how to walk that way
And tell me clearly what i’m supposed to do?
I don’t know what i’m dealing with
And what if it’s all a myth?
I just want to be on the inside too
So pour me another drink and tuck me right back down
Part of me wants to think
And part of me knows that I cannot leave town
I left my ethics at the old roadside
‘cause it feels good when they stroke that pride
It didn’t take long to break up all the rules
I steered opinions of doubt and fear,
Told the people what they want to hear
What do I care, they’re just a bunch of fools
Give me a minute to think and please don’t make a sound
Well, in the time that it took me to blink
Everyone around me has brought me tumbling
Down and down I fall, down I fell so free
I’m far too weak to crawl, ransom me, ransom me
How is this relevant?
Tell me, what’s He got to do with it
I’ve never cared, but man I just don’t know
Don’t you feel how wrong it would be?
He won’t defend Himself from me
Somehow that’s as far as I can go

The kids are fed and babe, it’s only five
The Babysitter’s gonna be here anytime
So grab your favorite shoes
We’ll go anywhere you choose
Girl, you’re lookin’ fine, tonight
Pick some tunes and I’ll just drive around
Untie that hair and roll your window down
When your smilin’ starts
Be still my beating heart
Who can stop us now?
So take my hand, baby
Kiss the ground goodbye
‘Cause when we dance
Oh honey, you will fly
The kids are sleeping and there’s no one around
We don’t want to wake ‘em so baby don’t make a sound
But girl I come undone
When you set your phaser to stun
I don’t want to let you down, down, down
(CHORUS)
So take my hand
Close my eyes
When we kiss
Oh we kiss and I just fly

WAY BACK WHEN
A single-file line walking to the playground from our class
I still remember how it felt to know I’d be picked last
“It’s just a stupid game.” I told myself a thousand times
But I just wanted somebody to want me on their side
But long before the blacktop or the school was ever built
Years and years before a drop of native blood was spilled
Before this world was spinning at 23.5 degrees
You decided way back then that You wanted me
Oh yes, You decided way back when that You wanted me
Feels like everyone I know has already been kissed
And I don’t think there’s one single girl who knows that I exist
They’ve all filled their yearbooks and I’m afraid I’ll never start
Oh, write my name, our memories, and dot the ‘i’s’ with little hearts
Long before the notebook paper love letters were read
Years before the scribes wrote down the words that kings have said
Before the first man and his wife had a snake to blame
You had a book, oh way back then where You wrote down my name
You had a book, oh way back when where You wrote down my name

WHAT ONLY BENDS
Fastening your sandals, blowing out the candles
Pour another glass of orange juice
Sewing up the patches, running out of matches
Gather up the change that’s all been loose
Wiping down the windshield, shopping cart with three wheels
Looking all around for a good fight
Picking up your paper, ignoring all the neighbors
Taking down the gaudy Christmas lights
I can’t climb inside your head again
I didn’t get quite enough sleep
I don’t know that I really understand
What it’s got to do with me
Play another solo, and baby really let go
Underestimate all of your friends
Try to stop the trauma, escalate the drama
And never try to break what only bends
Can we make it louder if we have no power
Tell me if you think that you might faint
Breathing under water, just don’t take y our daughter
‘Cause this ain’t a game of finger paint
(CHORUS)

O LOVE INCOMPREHENSIBLE
Words: Toplady & Steele
O Love incomprehensible that made Thee bleed for me
The Judge of all has suffered death to set His prisoners free
What pain, what soul oppressing pain the Great Redeemer bore
While bloody sweat like drops of rain distilled from every pore
What kind of love can this be
That you could make a child of someone like me
Arraigned at Pilate’s shameful bar, unparalleled disgrace
See spotless innocence appear in guilt’s detested place
“‘Tis finished,” now aloud He cries, no more the Law requires
And now, amazing sacrifice! The Lord of life expires
(CHORUS)
On Thee alone my hope relies, beneath Thy cross I fall
My Lord, my life, my sacrifice, my Savior and my all

AFTER ALL
I told you that I would be faithful and true
I told you that I’d never fall
That even if everyone else betrayed you
That I’d stand with you, last of all
But the night fell and I said
The thing I said I’d never say
When they took you away
With no sword or strength left to fight
My walk turned into a crawl
I cried my eyes out that night
‘Cause I was afraid after all
Thought that I’d never see you
To say words I needed to say
As they threw you away, but...
You came to life and you came to find me
And you said the words I couldn’t say
Just when I thought I had lost everything
You tell me that we’re okay after all
For every last moment where I denied you
I’ve hated myself and my fall
But you gave me the chance to say “I love you too”
You make me feel that I can stand tall
Now you have a job
That you made for me and you made me for
And you'll open the door, ‘Cause... (CHORUS)
Whenever I struggle and stumble these days
When I just don’t follow your call
It’s easy to feel like I will never change
Or that you don’t want me after all
But you tell me you love me
‘Cause you died the death I should have died
To give me new life, Oh... (CHORUS)

THE SHAM
I think I could tell most anyone, around me, underneath the sun
What I want about who I am
But when You look at my life, You cut right through to the inside
You see the pillow underneath the sham
I could smile the whole day through
I could cry right out for help
But I cannot lie to You
Even if I managed to fool everyone, including myself
It’s more than just a little strange to live your life up on a stage
For an audience of One who really, truly knows
When I mess up every time, I stutter and forget these lines
I wind up feeling oh so exposed
I could exit stage right
I could lock my dressing room
I could stay there all night
But no matter where I go, You will know, I cannot hide from You
You didn’t just see, you always, always knew
And still You came for me, and you did just what you came to do
I think I could tell most anyone, around me, underneath the sun
What I want about who I am
And whether or not that is true, You know that I cannot fool You
Yes, You know it all and still You love this man, oh man

FINE CHINA
My baby’s like fine china: beautiful and breakable
Just like some precious royal antique
And there is none finer, she is unmistakably
Hand-crafted, gorgeously unique
But fragile in these clumsy hands
When I break her, I hope she knows
That whether she laughs or cries,
She hypnotizes everything in her geography
And just like a tractor beam
She’s pulling me in closer than I ever thought I’d be
My baby’s like the nerve center: you know she feels everything
So I learn to be as gentle as a kiss
And there is none sweeter, she’s like sugar off the cane
I’m an ice cube just melting in her fist
Some day soon I’ll let her go
Oh, I hope she understands
That whether she laughs or cries,
She hypnotizes everything in her vicinity
And just like a tractor beam
She’s pulling me in closer than I ever thought I’d be
She’s got me...

I thought it would be no sweat just to walk with you in a straight line
But one foot right after the next is a test I fail almost every time
I just knew You’d be done with me, that You’re tired of all of the ways I fall
But You’re saying You want to be with me, the real me after all
Just like when the sun burns up the rain right off of the street in steam
You’re casting away my doubts with Your love, Your love so surprising
Just like when a light comes on and the shadows run as the darkness breaks
Your love is breaking in and all my fears evaporate
I thought I could change my life, but it’s so much harder than it seems
And I thought growth looks like I won’t struggle with the same old things
No matter how much I fail in all the things You take me through
I’m finding You still want me and that all I really have is You

Who would have thought that You’d love me this long
You’re taking me off guard and all my doubts proved wrong

And what if I tumble down? Will you take off in circles,
Until the line’s straight and on top of the clouds I’m flying?
You’re the only one holding the string.
Will you let go if the wind’s too strong and my braces all shudder?
And what if my line’s too long and like a speck I just flutter?
Will you hold on if a back-breaking gale is blowing
You’re the only one holding the string.

I remembered how you’d sing
And the way I mixed the lines up wrong
But you remembered everything
Those days are slipping away
Come on girl and dance with me
While you still want to
I will keep you laughing
While you still think I’m cool
Hurry girl, ‘cause we don’t have much time
Back in the day when I’d read to you
You could barely turn the page
And so okay, you read and write now too
I think you’re brilliant for your age
And these years are slipping away

You’re my first and last resort
What if I wear you out with my constant calls
Will you keep hanging up on me?
I might just wear you down, Ooh and after all
You could give me everything that I need
Tell me how long will I have to wait
I’m standing at your gate and yes, I see the sign
But I won’t leave, I’m not gonna turn around
Even if I’ve gotta knock and pound on that door ten thousand times
You’re my first and last resort

Let my laughter wash the sting from your blue-eyed tears
I still hear those dancing feet in or out of shoes
Oh darlin, turn that frown around, no one can like you
I’m upside down and inside out from all our joys and struggles
And I’ve made thousands of mistakes
You say my name and break my heart into 50 million pieces
And I don’t want to mend the breaks
I’ve got to laugh every time you try to brush away those curls
But my heart stops and I hold my breath when you smile with those pearls
You’re growing taller every day and I can’t slow it down
So I’ll treasure when you say my very favorite sound
(CHORUS)
And just because I say this now d
Doesn’t mean that I won’t break your heart
A million times or more
I hope that you remember how
To reach right through the moment’s darkness
To the beauty that’s in store

After the papers had been served
And the times I’ve been so severe
After all that I deserved,
I can’t believe that I am here
I can’t believe I’m in this bed
After the things I chose instead
From the life I was so tired of
I’m under his roof, under his love
I’m waking up to dreams I can’t believe
To be together in this house
After the places I have been
To know that he calls me his spouse
I never want to leave again

But you’ll have this song to know just what I’d say
I would say,
I just can’t believe
That of all the guys in the world
That you’d have me
I haven’t been everywhere, or that many places
But, I bet I’ve seen several million girls
And there isn’t one around here or across that ocean
Who’s half as fun or as sweet in the world
And I just can’t believe
That a girl so beautiful
was made for me
And I just can’t believe
That a life so blessed
Was planned for the likes of me

To tell you things I can’t explain to you;
An outsider, oh please don’t take it that way
It’s nothing quite so personal, it’s just the way it is
I am walking the old town tonight; i might even see you
If things decide to go my way
But you won’t lay your eyes on me, I’m like a stain on a sidewalk
That no one even notices, I’m that inconspicuous
See, I just slip away like smoke into the shadows
And you’ll forget me when I’m gone
Everything I say, just like the summer breeze blows
Or like some one-hit wonder song
you notice it and then it’s gone away
My life is surrounded by curious and indifferent
People that you cannot see
I’m not sure where I came from and not convinced where I’m going
But I’ve made friends along the way, from generations passed away

WHEN YOU KNOW ME
Sometimes the sun rising far in the east
Throws the color on clouds in the west
There’s only ten minutes where you’ll get to see it
But I like those minutes the best
The morning is cool and the air’s not so close
And the conversation’s fine
The laughter is sweet and the stories are deep
And the hearts of men are kind
When you know me,
When I let down my guard
And we both see
Who we truly are
The afternoon’s late, but I still want to stay
And I’ve laughed so hard I can’t breathe
The words that we spoke cut me open, broken
And tears run hot down cheeks
So tell me your story, the shame and the glory
And brother don’t be afraid
The love that we feel is kinetic and real
And flows from the One who paid

THE FALL
Where did you, where did you go?
And tell me, what have you done?
Say it’s not, say it’s not so
You have decided to run
You’re shutting me out and you’re locking the door
I know that you’ll come crawling back on all fours
You’re breaking my heart and you’re killing yours
And it’s not over yet
It’s just no, it’s just no use
No matter how you try
There’s no good, there’s no good excuse
So I’m afraid it’s goodbye
I’m sorry, there’s nothing you can do or say
But I’ve always known all about this day
And I will do anything to make a way
And it’s not over yet

I know you might be feeling small, You're barely filling up those shoes
And if you never stand at all, I will gladly carry you
Baby, don't get me wrong, I want to see you off the ground
But I don't really care how long it takes you to get it down
Some folks might just stare, but I don't care
Stand up tall and just move one foot at a time
And even if you fall, I will be there by your side
Ever since I saw your face, I've been waiting for this day
And it's not as though you're in a race, you're just better off this way
Sometimes it's gonna feel as though everyone is keeping score
But I want you to know that your heart is worth so much more

YOU’RE NOT FROM AROUND HERE
Everyone I know is dying just to win
But You don’t fight to get Your way
Or lie to save Your skin
Everywhere I go people just want more
But You said there’s no life
In simply keeping score
You, You’re not from around here
You don’t think like us,
you don’t act like we do
All that I once held dear
Is ruined and I Just
Want to be like you
Everywhere I go people are afraid
But You don’t trust in anything
That can be unmade
Everyone I know thinks of themselves first
But you sacrificed, gave Your life,
For me, became a curse
(CHORUS)
This world tells me I need
Power, wealth, beauty and fame
But You became nothing
you were homeless, hated, tortured,
They mocked your name,
Your life for our shame
CHORUS)

HOPE I WOULD
Look at the sky impossibly far
And try to spy a shattering star
As you watch it burn, do you want to spin?
And what did you learn, would you try again?
If I could, oh if I could
I hope I would
Right underneath every frown
Is the mystery of what brought it down
And if you don’t mind to search it out
You just might just find what it’s all about
If you could, oh if you could
I wish you would
If I could, oh if I could
I hope I would

NEW ME, SAME YOU
You see, I have always done like everyone else I know
Born with a will to run so far from the love You’ve shown
And I loved to run fast, I chose to say goodbye
To love that could outlast this foolish heart of mine
And just like a dying star on the edge of the burnout
I have fallen so far, but all that You care about
Is finding, forgiving me, cleansing, renewing me
Raising and changing me, now who knows what I’ll be?
This is a new me, ‘cause You’re the same You
I am changing, It’s too good to be true
You gave Your life because You wanted me, not who I was
So I’m a new me, You’re the same, sweet You
And now I don’t have to be the people we’ve always been
I don’t have to just keep walking on down that same road again
Adam, he dragged me down, but Jesus, You raised me up
I was broken empty, on the ground, but Lord, You fill my cup

SHOT PUT
Do you want to start this day on the right foot,
Or would you rather grit your teeth and choke it down?
You can fly like a kite or a shot put
And either float or drown
Do you want to hold my hand and walk beside me,
Or would you rather clench your fists and try to run?
The throbbing needles in your lungs are screaming, trying
To tell you this ain’t fun... aww son
I need you to take your hands off the wheel so to speak
I am strong, so let yourself be weak

BRIGHT RED PORCH SWING
The grass is cut and the flowers bloom,
The cars are washed and the roof is new
The trees are mulched and the birds all sing
But What’s behind, oh what’s behind
That bright, red porch swing?
The dishes in the sink are two years old at least
But you will never see them from the road
The floorboards, they all creak, and the shower leaks
But nobody will notice till it’s sold
Ain’t that how this goes?
The bedroom ceiling’s cracked, the mirrors are painted black
And don’t even get me started on that smell
The wires are all crossed, plus the keys have all been lost
But that won’t be my problem when it sells
And I say, “Farewell”
I’m not sure if you care, but there’s asbestos everywhere
And for years the termites have been eating good
There were cats in every room and I’ve never owned a broom
But I’d like to make a profit if I could
Don’t you think you would?
Well, it sure looks nice from the outside,
But dig a little deeper and it's all a lie
When you drive past here all you see
Is shiny and red and it swings...

HIS OWN
I was lost, I was aimless
I was broken, I was hopeless
I was hurt, I was lonely
Thinking of myself only
But Jesus made me His own
I’m righteous, forgiven, I’m totally clean
I’m headed to heaven, a child of the King
I’ll never be judged or condemned or alone
‘Cause Jesus has made me His own
I was hard, I was angry
I was trapped, who could save me?
But Jesus died, spilled His own blood
Gave His life out of His love
Now I am His own
(CHORUS)
I was dead, my life showed it
I needed hope and didn’t know it
Now I live, now I’m set free
Now I can be a new me
Since He made me His own
(CHORUS)

HERE WITH ME
Can you believe it?
Another year’s passed, did you see it?
It felt just like a second,
Time flies when it’s fun I reckon
See, I must confess baby, I’m at my best
When you’re here with me
So, we just keep getting older,
We’ve got babies who ride on our shoulders.
And we barely make the ends meet,
But girl, I think this life is so sweet
But the struggle and strain can’t compare to the gain
When you’re here with me
I never imagined
That joy like this could really happen
From seeds He was quietly sowing
Years later my cup’s overflowing
So let the heartache and hurt come do its very worst
‘Cause in the unknown to come I know there will be fun
Well the dark’s not so hard and the road’s not so far
When you’re here with me

It's Almost Over - demo

IT’S ALMOST OVER
No matter where I look around
From the clouds down to the ground
I don’t see the place that I’ll call home
This is a temporary stay,
A camping trip, just a few days
And it won’t be long until it’s time to go
It’s almost over, we’re almost done
So give away your life, and deeply love someone
It’s almost over, the Lord is near
And we don’t have much time to live like strangers here
No matter how hard I might try
this world will never satisfy
So I don’t want to let myself be fooled
And I’ll never keep my head
If I love the trinkets of the dead
So, unless it’s You, I don’t want to be ruled

FIREFLIES
Hundreds of fireflies, random chances
Blinking in the trees
Awaiting moonrise and winging dances
Just for you and me
On then off, off then on
On then off, off then on
Inquisitive imagination itches
In his brand new eyes
Curious fingers are flipping switches
constantly surprised
On then off, off then on
On then off, off then on
Is it chemical and organic?
Is the filament merely mechanic?
Is it hereditary, genetic?
Is it local or simply phonetic?
On then off, off then on
On then off, off then on

Fly on my little bird
Right up above the clouds
Sweet wind, won’t You carry her
She’s in your hands now
I can’t see where her feet are gonna light
But You can keep those little wings in flight,
She’s in Your sight
(CHORUS)
Hold her near when she breaks her little wing
‘Cause I long to hear the flying song she sings,
So let it ring

WHERE WE WERE
What if I’ve been away for a while
And You haven’t heard that telephone ring?
Will You still feel the same about me
If I don’t explain a thing
It’s not that I don’t want to call
It’s just that life adds up, and all
But now I want to pick up
See, there’s not a whole lot to say
I could tell you some stuff, but You would see right through it
You know it all anyway
There’s no point in excuses, I just need to do it
But You say You’ve made up Your mind
You smile and tell me we’re just fine
And we can pick right up where we were

WHAT IT USED TO BE
Running from You is not what it used to be
I’m tired of the way this feels
No matter what I do, seems You’re all over me
I can hear You on my heels
I used to love to run and hide
Sitting in the mud of my pig sty
But then You washed me clean
Oh, You made me new
I’m not who I used to be
So it don’t feel like it used to
(CHORUS)
Well I was so wrong, without a prayer
I was dead so long, I just didn’t care
But now I am alive
So I won’t stay in this tomb
I’m different way down inside
So I’d rather walk with You
(CHORUS)

Went To Waste
Another day, another heartbreak
And he will insist on taking you down all the way
Another sunset, and as the light fades
I can see your gladness slip as rain falls down your face
But there is someone who sees every tear
And He’s not just looking, He knows what they are doing there
Just you wait, girl; you’ll see it someday
That none of those tears went to waste

THREE TIMES OUT OF TEN
Stare me down, look me right in the eye
And I won’t back down, well okay, I might
If I stand my ground when you tell me your lies
Is there help around if I really try?
I solemnly swear that I won’t break my word again
And just like that, I’m back there but I guess it’s not too bad,
Three times out of ten
Share the load, tell me the truth
‘Cause I just don’t know when I’m not here with you
There you go, oh you’re my living proof
That a man can grow, that it’s all really true

ON YOUR OWN
Do you remember when I up and ran away
I turned my face and walked on down the road
‘Cause I remember it like it was yesterday
My heart was cold and hard just like a stone
And I left home
And said I won’t come back this way
I never want to see your face
There ain’t nothing you could do
To make me want to be with you
I’m happy to be on my own
It didn’t take too long for me to bottom out
The dream became a nightmare overnight
And I lost it all; man I was broken down
I burned every single bridge that was in sight
And I lost my rights
And said I won’t come back this way
I didn’t want to see your face
But after all the things I’ve done
I don’t know why I chose to run
I’m sorry that I’m on my own
Would you take me back after all I’ve done?
I wish I could come back and be your son
And so I’m coming home, my tail between my legs
I bet you never thought you’d see this day
You could say, “I told you so.” You could make me beg
Which I would gladly do if I could stay
But I hear you say
I can’t believe you’re back this way
Son, I never thought I’d see your face
Don’t you know there ain’t nothing you could do
That could make me stop loving you
I’m happy you’re not on your own
I’m happy that you’re back home

JUST LIKE JESUS WILL
Brother you're holding hands,
You're taking vows
And these impossible demands
They weren't just meant for now
So when the nights are long
When the days are hard
When everything feels wrong
And the distance far
Remember these words,
These things you're promising to do
'Cause they are the Lord's,
This is how He loves you
No matter how she may change,
You must love her still,
Oh remain the same Just like Jesus will
Sister, look in his eyes,
Take a deep, long breath
You're laying down your life
And promising unto death
Whatever tragic hour,
Whatever pain or mess
The Spirit gives His power
And the Father says, "Yes"
When you remember these words,
These things you're promising to do
For they are the Lord's,
This is how He loves you
No matter how he may change
You must love him still
Oh remain the same
Just like Jesus will

The sky is black, the moon is high
It won’t be light for quite a while
Tell me things I want to hear
Oh, whisper them into my ear
I’m waiting
Everyone I know’s asleep
Here in the dark, it’s You and me
And You can see behind these ribs
Everything I have to give
I’m giving
So speak to me, teach me
Listen to me now
I need You to get down here
And help me somehow
I’m nothing if we don’t start here
You know what I’m up against
You know how weak is my defense
You know how hard, how hard I try
Oh can’t you see, can’t you see that I
Am begging
You fill me up with peace and rest
Your living joy down in my chest
You tell me I am not alone
You wanted me just for Your own
I’m longing

SURPRISE
A fresh rain drops off the old leaves
A dark night ends with a soft breeze
And You surprise me
The storm rolls, but in defiance a child sings
The cold, hard ground gives way to a green spring
And You surprise me
I don’t deserve You
I could not earn anything You give
To think that You love me when I was Your enemy
And gave Your life that I might live
A broken boy falls for a sweet girl
She smiles back and changes his whole world
And You surprise
Lives change, ‘cause You make a fool speak
With bloody hands, You build a kingdom of great peace
And You amaze me
(CHORUS)
He is making all things new
All that’s broken and sad will come untrue
He is changing even You
He is making all things new
Repeat , then (CHORUS)

Don’t stop the show, just because your microphone’s turned off
‘Cause you don’t know; someone might be listening
And hanging on your every word, loving every rhyme
So play the chords and sing the words and smile and keep the time
Don’t give up yet just ‘cause everyone is talking
‘Cause I will bet someone wants to buy the record
Baby, keep on playing now, stay cool, don’t lose your poise
They might be reading your lips, Oh right above the noise

I don’t want to clench my fists, so sure that I’m right
I don’t want to blindly miss everything you have in sight
I don’t want to live my days being angry, cold and hard
You’re going to win this anyway, I could never run that far
So I want to let love win right from the start
I want to invite you in and give you my heart
I know this is who I’ll be when we pass the end
Oh Lord, change me, I want to let love win,
I want to let love win
I’ve given so much time to things I am sick and tired of
Now I want a heart that rings and resounds with Your love
Lord I want to welcome You and make you feel at home
Help me love the people who You gave Your life to make Your own

I want to give up, I want to give in
I want to let go and let love win

YOU WANT ME
If any of you knew the things I think about
How dark it is inside my mind - just rage and fear and doubt
I wake up and I'm angry; I fall asleep so sad
And in between I'm guilty for the times I've been so bad
If everything inside me suddenly was known,
You'd run away and I would be alone
If any of you knew the things that I have done
The crimes I have committed, You would turn and run
I've broken faith and trust with those who called me "friend"
Then I turned around and did it all again
I know that I'm past hope, I know I'm all used up
'Cause everyone I've ever known someday runs out of love
You say You've seen the dark and deep
What's hidden down inside
Lord, You know the secret me
And still You gave Your life
It's so hard to believe,
but, Jesus, You want me
If any of you knew the way I feel inside
The secrets I keep locked behind the smiles that cover lies
When I see the bathroom mirror, I only think of how
I'm unloved and that makes sense because no one wants me now
People who are special are people who aren't me
And, Jesus, may I ask if you agree?

CAN THIS BE?
I wouldn’t have chosen a heart like mine
I wouldn’t have loved me the way You do
I don’t get this right very much of the time
But Jesus, sweet Jesus, I do love You
Can this be,
When I was nothing good or true,
You wanted me?
Jesus, I love You
I wouldn’t have promised a wayward soul
Forgiveness no matter what they do
But You’re not like me, You make broken hearts whole
And Jesus, dear Jesus, I do love You
(CHORUS)
I live by Your mercy, I’m saved by Your grace
I love ‘cause You loved me and I need you today

Time won’t you stop ticking on for just a minute
I want to get off of this ride
Whether or not you give a care, I’m dying in it
A minuscule pause would be nice
Take a break for just five minutes
Wait a sec, that doesn’t make sense
If you stopped, there’d be no measure
For the time you stopped, so you could stop forever
I guess you better keep on ticking
And I guess I’ll just keep on singing
Just move along and I’ll sing this song

What's it like now that You are here,
Did You know it would be so cold?
Don't you love to have Your mother near
And how close she likes to hold You?
What's it like being oh so small,
And feeling hungry for the first time?
Helpless there, You cannot speak at all
All You manage is a faint cry
What's it like to leave a perfect home
Where You reign as King,
To come down here and be poor and alone
For broken folks like me?
What's it like now that You have come,
Did You know it'd be so dark at night?
Bet You did, our little Promised One,
For You came to be this world’s Light
(CHORUS)
What's it like hearing angels sing
Through the silence of the night sky?
Did You know those choruses would ring,
Or was it a surprise?

HOUSE OF CARDS
Every move I make is answering a question
That's burning up this hole inside my chest
Every step I take is in the same direction
I'll take care of me and disregard the rest
'Cause I will do whatever I've got to do
To find out what I need to know
I'll do anything just as long as someone tells me
All of the things I'm dying to hear
And if they want me, I'll buy what they are selling
'Cause being alone is my greatest fear
So day by day I'm living my own way
Raising up a desperate life
All those things I've built up are
Just a fragile house of cards
And without a warning You came in
Like some hurricane-force wind
And You knocked it down
Till it won't work now
Yeah, You knocked it down
I have never felt the pleasure I've awaited
In living every moment my own way
All my choices leave me empty and frustrated
All I know is confusion and pain
I've tried and tried to feel satisfied
But it's only misery!
(CHORUS)
And it didn't work (You knocked it down)
It didn't work (You knocked it down)
Oh nothing I've ever tried could fill me up

No palace for the King,
No royal robe, no gilded thing,
No nation to sing Your fame,
You didn't have to, but You came
No welcome from Your own,
No presents waiting at Your home,
No family knew Your name
No one noticed, but You came
We all like sheep have gone astray,
Each one has turned to his own way,
We're guilty, covered with shame
We needed rescue, so You came
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
