In Silence and in Song
01:26
|
|

|
I don't have the words to say
I've tried and I've come up empty
And still you know what I'm thinking
In silence and in a song
I know that you're always with me
How do you write a song
That is good enough?
How do you find a word
That is strong enough?

Open My Heart

After my failure breaks me
Frustration takes me
And I'm left shaking with fear
All of my plans have crumbled
My feet have stumbled
And I wonder
How did I end up here
I want to live a life that shows
That I know how good you are
Open my eyes when I don't see you
Open my ears to hear your voice
Open my heart when I don't feel you now
Help me believe in you
I'm taking all my worry
The way a hurry
All my fears and laying them
At your feet
God a I want to obey and
To listen pray and
To know you
Following where you lead
I want to live a life that shows
the world how good you are
You wake me up
Renew my mind
Stir my soul
Help me to be alive

Until it Gets Better

You hold on
You keep it
Locked up inside
But isn't this the time for breathing out
And breathing in?
A moment
A memory
Is where you live
You're holding on so tight
But now it's time for moving on
And I wish that I could promise
That you'll never hurt again
But I'm holding on to hope
That it gets better
Because I know we have a promise
That we'll never hurt again
And so I'm holding on until
It all gets better
So take it or leave it
It's what we have
But blessed are the ones
Who never see
Yet still believe
Until that day is here
We live to be a kingdom
On the earth
So take it or leave it
It's beautiful
Oh blessed are the ones
Who never see
Yet still believe

Calm My Heart
04:26

well she looked and me and said
I want peace and love instead
of all this anger that is eating at my heart
but if I do everything right
and I take my drugs tonight
I will wake up and I’ll still be sick tomorrow
and her father prays each day
Lord please take this cup away
would you calm my heart?
would you move so I can see it?
would you hold me in your arms?
would you calm my heart?
would you breathe so I can feel it?
would you help my unbelief?
well he said so quietly
said we can’t get our girl to eat
she is 9 years old and smaller than a bird
Still we look for every light
At the edge of of every night
And we celebrate our victories great and small
and I know he prays each day
Blessed are the hungry
And blessed are the broken
Blessed are the humble
The weary and the poor

Help Me to Know You
03:40

Your love, no I don’t always feel it
Burning a hole in my heart
And I know you don’t try to conceal it
But it seems like we’re so far apart
I know it’s not it’s always a feeling
‘Cause feelings they come and they leave
Help me to know you
Help me to love you
Help me to trust you
When you’re there but my eyes just can’t see
Help me to know you
Help me believe through my unbelief
Your mercies are new every morning
Before I even get out of bed
You’ve numbered the days set before me
And you know every hair on my head
What more could I ever ask for
When you’re all I want love to be
I know it’s not it’s always a feeling
‘Cause feelings they come and they leave
What more could I ever ask for
When you’re all I want love to be

There is More
03:17
|
|

Good morning
Have you had the feeling
Everything we know is far too small
A fragment
A panel of painted glass
But we can't see the bigger picture
There is more
More than we could ever know
than we understand
There is love
Bigger that all our fear
More than we can describe
I am a blind man
Seeing the stars for the first time
I can barely catch my breath
I am a child
Playing in the ocean’s waves
I don’t understand how small I am
And when I close my eyes on the last day
I know I’ll wake up there to find

Such a Hope
02:47
|
|
||
|
Each time the sun breaks through the clouds
I am hopeful for that day
The day that you return to earth
How I’m longing for that day
A day to heal the suffering
Of a broken world
Every sinner, every saint
Will bow down on bended knee
They will know you
And confess that you are Lord
I have within me such a hope
The salvation of my soul!
My name is written in the book
You made new what once was old
And on that day, you will dry the tears
Of a broken world

Emmanuel

Even when walking through shadows
My heart will not bend in fear
Because I know
I know you are with me
Even when I had denied you
You never once stepped away
Now I know
I know you are with me
And though the world may tremble
My heart will ever trust
You are Emmanuel
God with us
There is no height and no distance
You do not go for your love
And I know
I know you are with me
No greater love could be fathomed
Than when you gave your life for our sin
Now I know
I know you are with me
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
God with us
