Beauty

Why so anxious to be on your way?
Why do you rush from day to day?
You work to keep the memories at bay
But facing up is the only way

Stop and smell the roses dear
You may find the darkness disappears
Those little things you might have missed
Can hold you up on days like this
There’s beauty in this world we live
Open your eyes, love and forgive

The world is spinning, but so are you
Hoping everyone will be fooled
The pace enough to get you through
But the pain, it still splits you in two

Stop and smell the roses dear
You may find the darkness disappears
Those little things you might have missed
Can hold you up on days like this
There’s beauty in this world we live
Open your eyes, love and forgive

Slow it down
I’ll be right here
Just look around
 Let out the tears

Slow it down
I’ll be right here
Just look around
 Let out the tears

Stop and smell the roses dear
You may find the darkness disappears
Those little things you might have missed
Can hold you up on days like this
There’s beauty in this world we live
Open your eyes, love and forgive

Sight

So much pulls for my attention
Don't know where to put my affection
Future hanging in suspension
Must learn to thrive within the tension

I plop down all beat and battered
no more control, my heart in tatters
All the fights of social ladders
So hard to see what really matters

I've lost sight of what's good and true
God take back what belongs to you
I hold so tightly to the reigns
But all it brings me is more pain
So I'll let go what I think I need
Give you control to take the lead

I look back at this road I've traveled
Some pave roads, some sand, some gravel
I see the places i've unraveled
To find your gentle hands I'd rather

I've lost sight of what's good and true
God take back what belongs to you
I hold so tightly to the reigns
But all it brings me is more pain
So I'll let go what I think I need
Give you control to take the lead

Step back, Breathe in
Breathe out Again
Be still And know
God's in Control

I've lost sight of what's good and true
God take back what belongs to you
I hold so tightly to the reigns
But all it brings me is more pain
So I'll let go what I think I need
Give you control to take the lead

In My Heart

I miss our friendly little chats
Times when we'd just sit and laugh
I miss the depth of honesty
And telling every little thing

I miss listening to you talk
the memories now all I've got
I miss you're always being there
the only one to really care

Now all I want is to turn back time
Back to when everything was fine
When I could turn and see you smile
And know you'd be here for a while
But even as I fall apart
I'll keep you always in my heart

I miss you're presence in the room
Without you it feels like a tomb
I just miss you all the time
You left only empty space behind

Now all I want is to turn back time
Back to when everything was fine
When I could turn and see you smile
And know you'd be here for a while
But even as I fall apart
I'll keep you always in my heart

The world it just goes on and on
I feel so lost now that you're gone
I thought that you'd be here forever
And we'd get through this life together
(x3)
But now we'll never

Now all I want is to turn back time
Back to when everything was fine
When I could turn and see you smile
And know you'd be here for a while
But even as I fall apart
I'll keep you always in my heart

Be My Everything

True love is overtaking me
True love, you make it hard to breathe
You're overwhelming me
You died to set me free

Sweet grace fills the empty space
Sweet grace brings me to this place
With the tears upon my face
The sin has left no trace

Father, come
Bring me to my knees
I long for you
as I give you all of me
No guilt, no shame
You walk with me through the pain
Be my everything

Pure Joy opens up my eyes
Pure joy lifts me up to the sky
Gives me wings to fly
You breathed me into life
.
Father, come
Bring me to my knees
I long for you
as I give you all of me
No guilt, no shame
You walk with me through the pain
Be my everything

Spun the world into motion
Created land and ocean
Came in my life and suddenly I'm free
You've given me a reason
To have joy through every season
Now I can't help but sing, OH!

Father, come
Bring me to my knees
I long for you
as I give you all of me
No guilt, no shame
You walk with me through the pain
Be my everything

Be my everything!

Thank You

Words said too much can lose their meaning
How do I say just what I'm feeling
When challenges have sent me reeling
You've helped me through the worst life's dealing

How to express my appreciation
This utter feeling of adoration
I'll scream and shout in exclamation
Loud enough to wake the nation

Thank you for your warm embrace
your willingness, your smiling face
When life comes down on me to break
Your friendship gets me through the day
It's not enough but I hope it'll do
I wrote this song to say "Thank You"

You look inside and see the real me
Not content with just what's surfacey
Don't have to find someone else to be
I know you'll always love me for me

Thank you for your warm embrace
your willingness, your smiling face
When life comes down on me to break
Your friendship gets me through the day
It's not enough but I hope it'll do
I wrote this song to say "Thank You"

Even when they're hard to hear
your words will fall on willing ears
So tell me straight, don't make me wait
I need your help to find my way!

Thank you for your warm embrace
your willingness, your smiling face
When life comes down on me to break
Your friendship gets me through the day
It's not enough but I hope it'll do
I wrote this song to say "Thank You"

Thank you!

I Believe

Give me the desires of your heart
Help me know just where to start
I want to serve, want to proclaim
The name of Christ to bring Him fame

I long to shine God’s love each day
To follow Him who lights the way
I’ll persevere, run through the rain
To change the world, in Jesus’ name

I come before you broken
Unworthy to receive
The gift of being chosen
In your greatness, I believe

I believe in endless love
I believe that You’re enough
I believe in the life and death
That third day return to breath
When the walls around me fall
I cling to you God, be my all

I’m giving You my last reserve
Take it all my life is Yours
Open up my eyes to see
Where it is I need to be

I come before you broken
Unworthy to receive
The gift of being chosen
In your greatness, I believe

I believe in endless love
I believe that You’re enough
I believe in the life and death
That third day return to breath
When the walls around me fall
I cling to you God, be my all

I believe (x4)

I believe in endless love
I believe that You’re enough
I believe in the life and death
That third day return to breath
When the walls around me fall
I cling to you God, be my all

There's a terrifying beauty
In the majesty of my King
There's an unrelenting hope
In the peace that He brings

And in my heart of hearts
where my beloved king resides
I'm content to sit and listen
To my savior and my Guide

We chat about my worries
Discuss my deepest fears
And when all hope is gone
My God wipes away my tears

There are days that I forget
That He's waiting there for me
And I ignore the simple truth
That my God will never leave

The loneliness grow strong sometimes
And I can't understand my pain
But Abba stays and holds my hand
As we walk together through the rain

Although some days it's hard to hope
He'll always cathc me when I fall
And in those darkest hours of doubt
Remember: Jesus conquers ALL.
