BROKEN-DOWN ME
Where do you go my friend, tell me have you found what satisfies?
And have you ever dared to really stare at what lies deep inside you?
See, none of us are who we want to be.
You’re just a broken-down you, and I’m afraid
That I am just a broken-down me.

CHILD OF WANDERING WILL
You’ve been gone so long; you’re out there on your own
And you’ve got me all wrong if you think you can’t come home
‘Cause every day I wait, though they call me “Fool”
But I’m not ashamed to sit and watch for you
So come home to me child of wandering will
Come home to me, your daddy loves you still
I want to celebrate, can’t you hear my heart?
To pull you from the waste and back into my arms…
I’ve got my favorite ring, a calf and sandals too
A robe fit for a king and I’d give ‘em all to you
(CHORUS)
I don’t care how far you’ve walked away
Just turn and come back home and you will see
It doesn’t matter what you’ve done along the way
I just want you here again with me
See, you’ve been gone so long; you’re out there all alone
And you’ve got me all wrong if you think you can’t come home

SPEAK TO ME
I wrapped myself up in the chains I wear
I cut myself to make the hurts I bear
And all that I see in their eyes are frightened stares
And nobody wants to know me
It is so dark inside my mind today
A legion of voices is pulling me their way
And I get so weary of all of the terrible things they say
Is this really who I am?
Someone speak to me and bring me some peace today
Silence all these voices but yours
And hold out your hand, pull me out of this grave
When everyone runs away, You’re drawing near
And I see love in Your eyes instead of fear
At the slightest sound of Your voice, oh my mind is so clear
I can hardly believe it’s me,
Oh the things that You say to me…
You spoke to me and brought me…
Can You speak to me and bring me…

O HAPPY MOURNING
Everybody’s dressed in black exchanging empathetic eyes
They whisper greetings with their heads hanging low
A recorded organ plays hymns to cover up the lies
Like, “He was always so sweet and kind you know…”
“He looks so good.” I hear them say
And that’s all I wanted everyday
But the death of all I was trying to be
Leaves an empty room with only me
And I am not the man I thought I was
He is dead and gone away
I’ve grieved and now I’m happy because
He was never real anyway
I leave flowers at the grave and drive off smiling in my car
‘Cause I don’t have to keep that up another day
See, I fooled them all, including me that I was someone that I am not
But under that whitewash was death and decay
So I’ll leave behind the hidden ness
And embrace this brokenness
Instead of what I was trying to be
I hear the You love fools like me
(CHORUS)

FOUR FOOT THREE
You know I’ve never been much of one to measure up
To any standard you could name
And there’s a laundry list of things I’ve tried and given up
And I’m so tired of playing games
All the things I’ve tried to make myself feel tall
Are problems I can’t solve
So I’ll climb up this sycamore tree
And I’ll go out on a limb to hear You speak
But I don’t believe that I can look You in the eye
And it’s not because I’m four foot three
Is it true that You are a friend to those who fall,
And that You’ve taken guys like me?
Well, what if I’ve thought the worst and done it all,
Can I even cry, “Mercy!?”
(CHORUS)
You call my name, Your life for mine and I’m washed clean
You call my name, Your life for mine, I’m no the same
(REPEAT)
So I’ll climb down this sycamore tree
And I’ll stand before You all of four foot three
I can’t believe that I can look You in the eye
Well it’s all Your mercy growing me

ASK YOU
If you know all the why’s and how’s
And there are no surprises, you never guess
And if you control my was, my next, my now
And you have marked out all my steps
Then why should I ask you
It seems like I never change your mind
And you hardly ever say, “Yes”
Is talking to you just a waste of time?
Do you want me to save my breath?
Tell my why should I ask you
You know my heart like the back of your hand
You hold me with everything inside your plan
You tell me, “No” when I don’t understand…
And you know me, you hold me
And when it’s good for me, you say, “No” to me
And that is why I ask you
