here i am once again pleading to the sky kneeling to the sands shedding my regrets knowing You'll forget everything [Chorus] why didn't i go to such great lengths to try to please You instead i tried to please myself in the end when your heart is broken i see the folly of trying to please myself i have not yet arrived seeing anything quiet my desires till they die until they die or align with Your will [Chorus 2x] |

you know for certain that you are a liar you told me yourself you know the Truth but you won't put two and two together you know the sum would expose you [Chorus] and you wonder why you feel this way and you wonder how long it will take to heal and you wonder what you did to get here and you wonder who will save you from you you've tried everything that has been in your reach but none of it seems to satisfy so like a man lost at sea your thirst leads you to drink the water the more you drink, the more your throat runs dry and you wonder why [Chorus 2x] |

didn't i just see your face last time that i was here weren't you standing in that place was it you or me that disappeared did you tell me about your problem did i offer a solution maybe i could help you out in the coming revolution [Chorus] but i don't understand when i reach for your hand why i can't hold it long but you're hurting inside so i'll get off this ride cause i don't want to be just another horse on the merry go round i'm starting to see another course well it's time i got down didn't know when i bought this ticket to ride life's carousel that i would be more than a minute gone away from the One i love so well i was drawn to the main attraction mesmerized by it's appeal now it's all become distraction how can i return to what is real [Chorus] time i got down time i got down |

he painted 'i love you' on the bridge then watched them burn she bet all she had upon the love now she's holding her cards and lost her turn two hearts in search of wholeness both willing to risk it all could true love have fled so easily leaving both broken from the fall not the Love i know [Chorus A] it knows no boundaries keeps no record of wrongs ....that's the Love i know it takes the good with the bad and it fights to stay strong ....that's the Love i know this Love always finds a way to carry on that's the Love i know he sits all alone and stares into an empty sky she goes through all her mixed emotions trying to find a reason why was their pride to big to swallow was their hurt to big to heal could they find some understanding find forgiveness that's real that's the Love i know [Chorus B] it speaks in kindness its seeks only what's true ....that's the Love i know a love without condition it looks to renew ....that's the Love i know it knows that when hope seems gone hope will come through that's the Love i know the Love i know comes from a holy God to man isn't it time that you received it are you starting to understand the Love i know that's the Love i know [Chorus B] |

i'm looking for peace i'm hoping to find something to slow down the hands of time it's all slipping away... slipping away moving so fast it's out of my reach and out of my grasp i'm searching for Truth i know it must be somewhere just around the corner from me i've been feeling a need... feeling a need for something inside a need for a change a change in my life [Chorus A] and it's You ....only You and You alone Jesus You found me so deep in the dark and You called out my name yes, You ....only You and You alone Jesus You gave me someplace to start to start over again it's You i was looking for hope in my dim lit ideals thinking i might stumble onto something that's real but so many years... so many years of being so blind of holding my own of saying i'm fine then You gave me faith but not of my own and it brought both the peace and hope like i'd never known You said You'd forgive... said You'd forgive if i would believe that You were the son of a God yet unseen [Chorus B] and it's You ....only You and You alone Jesus You gave me the faith to believe and the mercy to see that it's You ....only You and You alone Jesus You gave me all of my worth by loving me first [Bridge] [Chorus A] |

He's brought me here where things are clear and trials turn to gold He's shared with me His victory He won in days of old oh Lord, i don't deserve the riches of Your world but You changed my filthy rags to linen white as snow the view from here is nothing near to what it is for You i've tried to see Your plan for me but i only acted like i knew oh Lord, forgive the times i've tried to read your mind cause You said if i'd be still then i would hear Your voice my Lord, my King my urge to sing and praise the things above now words could say the glorious way You've changed me with Your love He's brought me here where things are clear and trials turned to gold |

The roof caved in and the walls crumbled and there i stood exposed clutching my chest in fear how'd i end up here bad decisions one right after the other moved like waves pulled by the moon like a puppet who's tugged on by string like water tumbling down stream i was lost [Chorus A] blind man, deaf boy and the Lover of me and were did it lead to i fought for air as i was drowning in that rushing stream as the water poured over me off the bridge i threw my heart as if it didn't matter i walked the edge so fearlessly blindfolded by my lustful eyes deafened by a string of lies but You saw me there in my same condition Your eyes held me in Your stare You gazed into my empty soul spoke the words the burned a hole in my heart [Chorus B] blind man, deaf boy now see and hear did you think that I'd not find you don't you know that I'm the lover souls and I came to be near from this very earth I made you some of us like sheep have gone astray some of us like fools live for today and then it's gone and you're left with nothing you fight to hold it all inside your hands somehow we think we'll understand what no eye has ever seen and no mind comprehended [Chorus B] |

never imagined that you'd be here again yet another season of doubt has set in the warm september rains have gone, gone away the trust that you held in your heart isn't there now you're fighting your fears but they never fight fair gone are all the endless summer days [Chorus] i believe that they're still there though the storms will surely so let me ask you can you look to the sky and strain to see the sun again you harbor the hurt and you shelter the pain too proud to confess that you'd fallen again but don't you long for mercy's tender embrace remember the works you spoke from your heart it's a pity those phrases have fallen apart gone is every promise that you made [Chorus] will you keep fooling yourself how long will you run till you're gasping for air you ran when the shadows grew long you thought the sun fell from the sky but i tell you you're wrong |

i am more than this flesh and bone by myself i wander the streets alone but when my dream is over and morning creeps on in i pull the covers back and i feel your warmth again [Chorus] there is something inside that i can't explain but by the grace of God i am made whole again in the times i have fallen and when i felt the shame yet by the grace of God i am made whole again in the times i have fallen and when i felt the shame yet by the grace of God i am made whole again sold in my pride i said i know so i bought the lie and chained my soul but mercy runs deep and seeks to fill an empty well of shadow that one day will reveal [Chorus] |
|
i'm not here to reform you nor am i here to take you away i've been sent with a message and now moving off in a south-bound parade [Chorus] if this were my last breath i tell you where i'll be then i'd ask you if you'd be there with me nobody knows how long you will be here still you hazard your faith as my last day grows closer i rest in the confidence i have been saved [Chorus 2x] you don't know how long and i don't know how long |
|
the sun will shine i'll smile from time to time and sin the song cause life goes on [Chorus] but it won't mean a thing without you and the love you bring it won't mean a thing without you the wounds will heal starting over ain't no big deal the rebuilt rome and life goes on [Chorus] the lesson learned we all must take our turn and carry on cause life goes on |
