Bury Me
03:35
|
|||
|
I've held on to my comfort like a blanket to cover my head
To go outside would mean to love and I'd rather be numb instead
But I've been afraid for too long
I think it's time to go outside
To rise up from the ashes I've got to be willing to die
So take me down and bury me beneath the weight of suffering
I'm going to give you what I cannot keep
When you raise me up from this grave I will never lose what I have gained
Taked me down and bury me
I tried to gain my life and lost it
I'd give it all to be with you again
I'd welcome pain from your hand like a long lost friend
So cover me in ashes
Bury me and I will find you there
I'm not afraid when you are near

It's the middle of the night I do not know why I am so afraid
But I can't sleep again and all these thoughts just will not go away
But then you hold me close you look past all of my broken places
And you see me beautiful you see me beautiful
When you look at me like that I can't seem to look away
When you look at me like that all my fears fade fade fade
And when I'm most afraid that's when you whisper it will be okay
You look me in the eyes and for the first time I don't look away
I never thought that I could trust anyone to love me this way
But you see me beautiful you see me beautiful
Your love for me it surrounds me and somehow my fear falls away like darkness when sun comes

Joy Comes In The Morning
03:18
|

|
Awake oh my soul wipe the sleep from your eyes
Look and see what you missed before
Do not give up hope though you've wept through the night
Your light will break forth like the dawn
Joy comes in the morning joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning
Why are you downcast put your hope in the Lord
He makes all things beautiful
Remember how he's rescued you before
Be strong now lift your head
When the kisses of this world turn bitter in my mouth
The laughter has all died down
I still can see these scars on my once so hard to bear
But they are healing now and I remember

Beggar Man
03:26

Hey there beggar man
I'm pretending not to see you standing with your
Hands wide open
Hey there beggar man what are you begging for
That maybe we would see we are not that different
You've been looking for a family all along somewhere that you belong
That's what I long for
My hands are empty too but I'm pretending they are full of something
Maybe I am just like you
Maybe I am just like you now beggar man maybe I am just like you
Hey there beggar man maybe this time I will look you in the eyes
And see my reflection
And when I see you there maybe this time I will open my hands
And we will find what we're looking for

Home

Home home home
It's been so long since I knew where I belonged
Home home home
Can I even hope it's been so long
I've been alone all alone
What I wouldn't give to sit at your table now
I was wrong so wrong
How could you forgive when I left the way I did
But tonight you run to me like a long lost child
Tonight you put your arms around me like I'd been there all along
Tonight you love me like I had never walked away
Now I'm home home home
You cry and cry when you see me coming down the road
I thought that you would turn away
But you run with all your might
Spin me around and say "you've come home to me"
I say "you don't know all I've done
I do not deserve this love that you offer me"
But you look me in the eyes
You say no matter where I've been you will always be mine

Holding On To Hope
03:55

His name was Dave I met him on the wrap around porch
Of an Alabama bar
He never looked me in the eyes even though we talked
For hours and hours
And I felt alone for him the years had not been good
And I wanted to hold him in my arms and say everything is going to be
Fine fine fine
He reminded me of my father maybe that's why I was drawn to him
And we sang "Life is strange and life is good" as Dave played his home made guitar
And I wanted to hold him in my arms and say everything is going to be
Fine Fine
He's beautiful isn't he
Holding on to hope when the sun comes in the morning
Holding on to hope despite everything
Holding on to hope
He said life is a strange thing trying to figure out who we are
There are times when I feel alone but a few people love me
That's a start
And you, you're a lot like me weak and strong at the same time
And I wanted to hold him in my arms and say everything is going to be
Fine fine fine

God Is Here

She was born on the wrong side of the railroad tracks
When she ran away she never looked back
She never looked back
Now she finds her home on the LA streets
She's not looking for a handout she wants to be seen
Come in close close enough to see her pain
Remember the words of another one suffering
God is here
Come in close closer this time
If you want to see Jesus look into her eyes
Look into her eyes
Hey God is here
See the city where she lives in these dirty places
See the beggars and the whores and the homeless faces
God is here
See the children who are sleeping and the woman who is drunk
And the man with the sign that says he's down on his luck
God is here
See the man with the sign give another his blanket
If you didn't look close you wouldn't think it but
God is here
Come in close closer this time see the miracle of laughter the miracle of life
Here in the places we call hopeless you call out your kingdom
Then you call us beautiful
Here out of the ashes you build cities of hope
He says this is my home and these are my children you want to see me
You've got to see them

Lay Your Head Down
03:30

|
Come to me you have been weary
Come to me you have been so so tired
Come to me just let me love you
You don't have to say a word
You don't have to say a word
Lay your head down
Lay your head down
Come to me do you see how I see you
Beautiful even in your weakness
You are mine you always will be so
You don't have to say a word
You don't have to say a word
All this time I never left you
Come here child just let me love you
Come to me I know what you've been through
I know what you've been through

The whole world is waiting
The whole world cries
The whole world is waiting
For our hope to shine
For you sweet Jesus
Will make all things right
The whole world is waiting
The whole world cries
You are the God of justice
You are the God who sees
You are the God who heals and
Who loves the world through me
We believe our love can change things
We will not live silently
You are the God of justice
You are the God who sees
You oh Lord are with us
We will not be afraid
Though darkness may surround us
And evil have it's way
Your love has overcome death
We will stand strong and say
You oh Lord are with us
We will not be afraid
