It's been a hard year.
But I'm climbing out of the rubble.
These lessons are hard.
Healing changes are subtle.
But every day it's...
Less like tearing more like building.
Less like captive more like willing.
Less like breakdown more like surrender.
Less like haunting more like remember.
And I feel you here.
And you're picking up the pieces.
Forever faithful.
It seemed out of my hands a bad situation.
But you are able.
And in your hands the pain and hurt
look less like scars and more like character.
Less like a prison a prison more like my room.
Less like a casket more like a womb.
Less like dying more like transcending.
Less like fear, less like an ending...
And I feel you here.
LyricsAnd you're picking up the pieces.
Forever faithful.
It seemed out of my hands a bad situation.
But you are able.
And in your hands the pain and hurt
look less like scars.
Just a little while ago.
I couldn't feel the power or the hope.
I couldn't cope, I couldn't feel a thing.
Just a little while back.
I was desperate, broken, laid out.
Hoping you would come.
And I need you.
And I want you here.
And I feel you...
And I feel you here.
And you're picking up the pieces.
Forever faithful.
It seemed out of my hands a bad situation.
But you are able.
And in your hands the pain and hurt.
look less like scars.
And in your hands the pain and hurt
look less like scars.
And in your hands the pain and hurt
look less like scars.
And more like character...

I am long on staying.
I am slow to leave.
Especially when it comes to you my friend.
You have taught me slow down.
And to prop up my feet.
It's the fine art of being who I am..
And I can't figure out.
Why you want me around.
I'm not the smartest person I have ever met.
But somehow that doesn't matter.
No it never really mattered to you at all..
And at the risk of wearing out my welcome.
At the risk of self-discovery.
I'll take every moment.
And every minute that you'll give me..
And I can think of time when families all lived together.
Four generations in one house.
And the table was full of good food.
And friends and neighbors.
That's not how we like it now..
Cause if you sit at home you're a loser.
LyricsCouldn't you find anything better to do.
Well no I couldn't think of one thing.
I would rather waste my time on than sitting here with you..
And at the risk of wearing out my welcome.
At the risk of self-discovery.
I'll take every moment.
And every minute that you'll give me..
And I wish all the people I love the most.
Could gather in one place.
And know each other and love each other well..
And I wish we could all go camping.
And lay beneath the stars.
And have nothing to do and stories to tell.
We'd sit around the campfire.
And we'd make each other laugh remembering when.
You're the first one I'm inviting.
Always know that you're my friend..
And at the risk of wearing out my welcome.
At the risk of self-discovery.
I'll take every moment.
And every minute that you'll give me.
Every moment and every minute that you'll give me.
Every moment and every minute that you'll give me.
Every minute..

Speak in a summer tone
Pause in the after glow
Tenderly whisper my name
Tell me once again why I am your bride
So I can fly
So I can fly

Pause in your busy day
Look extra long my way
Wink at me across the room
Kiss me longer
Touch my arm when I am by your side
So I can fly
So I can fly

Oh how the little things
Strengthen my tiny wings
Help me to take on the world
When you love me there's nothing I wouldn't try
I might even fly
I might even fly
I might even fly

I don't have to cry anymore.
I don't have to worry about what's in store.
I've walked that road exhausted and poor.
I don't have to cry anymore..
And I don't have to know it all.
I don't have to be so proud and stand so tall.
I climbed that mountain only to fall.
I don't have to know it all..
You did that for me.
Oh, you did that for me.
You wore the chains so I could be free.
Yeah, yeah.
You did that for me..
And I don't have to be ashamed.
Hang my head or shoulder the blame.
Wondering if my life's been in vain.
I don't have to be ashamed.
Oh, you did that for me.
Oh, you did that for me.
You wore the chains so I could be free.
Yeah, yeah.
LyricsYou did that for me..
Man of sorrows.
Well acquainted with grief.
Drug down to the city dump.
Spread eagle on a cross beam.
Propped up like a scarecrow.
Nailed like a thief.
There for all the world to see..
You wore the chains so I could be free.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh Lord, you did that for me.
Oh Lord, you did that for me, You wore the chains so I could be free..

There's always just one more thing.
There's always another task.
There's always I just have one more small favor to ask.
And everything is urgent and everything is now.
I wonder what would really happen if I stopped somehow..
I'll be there in a minute.
Just a few places to go.
You wake up a few years later and your kids are grown.
And everything is important.
But everything is not.
At the end of your life your relationships are all you're got..
And love to me is when you put down that one more thing and say.
I've got something better to do.
And love to me is when you walk out on that one more thing and say.
Nothing will come between me and you.
Not even one more thing..
There will never be an end to.
The request upon your time.
It's your place to stand up and tell the world.
You've got to rest awhile.
And everything is important.
But everything is not.
At the end of your life your relationships are all you've got..
And love to me is when you put down that one more thing and say.
I've got something better to do.
And love to me is when you walk out on that one more thing and say.
Nothing will come between me and you.
Not even one more thing..

It's every loss and every love.
It's every blessing from above.
Here I am all added up.
Oh, it's all right here..
It's what I know and what I'm guessin'.
It's half-truths and full confessions.
It's why I choose to learn my lesson.
Oh it's all right here..
And I'm not God I'm a girl I confess that I don't have sea of forgetfulness.
No, it's all right here.
It makes me stronger and makes me wince.
It makes me think twice when I pick my friends.
Oh, it's all right here it's all right here..
It's caution and curiosity.
And it's all the things I never see.
Welling up inside of me.
Oh, it's all right here.
It's what is best and what is worse.
It's how I see the universe.
It's in every line and every verse.
Oh, it's all right here..
LyricsAnd I'm not God I'm a girl I confess that I don't have sea of forgetfulness.
No, it's all right here.
It makes me stronger and makes me wince.
It makes me think twice when I pick my friends.
Oh, it's all right here it's all right here..
Every heart has so much history.
It's my favorite place to start.
Sit down awhile and share your narrative with me.
I'm not afraid of who you are..
I'm all here and you're all there.
Some of this is unique and some of it we share.
Let's add it up and start from there.
Oh, it's all right here..
Oh, I'm not God I'm a girl I confess that I don't have sea of forgetfulness.
No, it's all right here.
It makes me stronger and makes me wince.
It makes me think twice when I pick my friends.
Oh, it's all right here.
It's caution and curiosity.
And it's all the things I never see.
Oh, it's all right here.
It's what is best and what is worse.
And it's how I see the universe.
Oh, it's all right here.
It's all right here.
Oh, it's all right here.
I'm all right here.
Oh, I'm all right here.
I'm all right here, alright..

Remember surrender.
Remember the rest.
Remember that weight lifting off of your chest.
And realizing that it's not up to you and it never was..
Remember surrender.
Remember relief.
Remember how tears rolled down both of your cheeks.
As the warmth of a heavenly father came closing in..
I want to do that again.
Why can't I live there.
And make my home.
In sweet surrender.
I want to do so much more than remember..
Remember surrender.
Remember peace.
Remember how soundly you fell fast asleep.
In the face of your troubles your future still shone like the morning sun..
Remember surrender.
Remember that sound.
Of all of those voices dying down.
But one who speaks clearly of helping and healing you deep within..
LyricsI want to do that again.
Why can't I live there.
And make my home.
In sweet surrender.
I want to do so much more than remember..
Remember.
Oh surrender..
I want to do that again.
Oh why can't I live there and make my home.
In sweet surrender.
I want to do so much more than remember..
Remember.
Remember surrender.
Remember the rest.
Remember that weight lifting off of your chest.
And realizing that it's not up to you and it never was..

I'm trying to work things out.
I'm trying to comprehend.
Am I the chance result.
Of some great accident.
I hear a rhythm call me.
The echo of a grand design.
I spend each night in the backyard.
Staring up at the stars in the sky..
I have another meeting today.
With my new counselor.
My mom will cry and say..
I don't know what to do with her.
She's so unresponsive.
I just cannot break through.
She spends all night in the backyard.
Staring up at the stars and the moon..
They have a chart and a graph.
Of my despondency.
They want to chart a path.
For self-recovery.
And want to know what I'm thinking.
LyricsWhat motivates my mood.
To spend all night in the backyard.
Staring up at the stars and the moon..
Maybe this was made for me.
For lying on my back in the middle of a field.
Maybe that's a selfish thought.
Or maybe there's a loving God..
Maybe I was made this way.
To think and to reason and to question and to pray.
And I have never prayed a lot.
But maybe there's a loving God..
Maybe this was made for me.
For lying on my back in the middle of a field.
Maybe that's a selfish thought.
Or maybe there's a loving God..
Maybe I was mad this way.
To think and to reason and to question and to pray.
And I have never prayed a lot.
But maybe there's a loving God..
And that may be a foolish thought..
Or maybe there is a God.
And I have never prayed a lot.
But maybe there's a loving God..

So many words to say, but I'm opting for silence.
So many days to live.
I thinking I'm sitting this one out.
Cause something I've been chasing finally stop to let me catch it.
Something I've been longing for and dreaming about..
It's a whisper in my ear.
It's a shiver up my spine.
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right.
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight.
This peace..
It's something so elusive.
Something close but far away.
It's the home that I can't live in yet somewhere in outer space.
And sometimes I barely miss it when I walk into the room.
The curtains are still swaying and I feel the air move..
And it whispers in my ear and it shivers up my spine.
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right.
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight.
This peace..
No time to grab a camera.
No time to write it down.
Just time enough to breathe it in.
And linger....
It's a whisper in my ear.
It's a shiver up my spine.
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right.
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight.
This peace.
This peace..

You live your life like a tornado.
Destruction follows everywhere you go.
And you have no plans to stop or slow oh.
I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy.
But it gets so hard when pain is all I see oh..
Every time I find healing you're making a new mess.
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness..
And I tried to remove myself from your path.
But I keep waking up in the aftermath.
So I pick up again and say I won't look back oh.
And I will not let you leave that legacy.
But this constant fight is breaking me oh.
Every time I find healing you're making a new mess.
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness..
And it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones I love.
When everything you touch is rumble and dust.
And it gets so hard to know how to trust.
But I will not let that bitter root grow.
I will not let it no no • But it gets so hard oh..
Every time I find healing you're making a new mess.
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And I could move and never send you a forwarding address.
Or I could learn the real meaning of forgiveness..

In the morning when I rise.
Help me to prioritize.
All the thoughts that fill my day.
Before my schedule.
Tells me that my day is full.
Before I'm off and on my way..
I want to praise you.
I need to praise you.
Let the first song that I sing.
Be praises to my God and king..
Before the curtains part.
Before my day is starting.
Before I make up the bed.
Before the snooze alarm.
Reminds me that it's morning.
Before the dreams have left my head..
I want to praise you.
I need to praise you.
Let the first song that I sing.
Be praises to my God and king..
(Praise the Lord, Praise Him - repeat)..
LyricsBefore my feet hit the floor.
I'll praise you Lord, I'll praise you Lord.
Before I fill my cup..
I'll lift you up, I'll lift you up.
Before I start my day.
I'll sing your praise, I'll sing your praise..
Before I start my car.
Before I get too far.
I want to praise you.
I need to praise you Lord.
Let the first song that I sing.
Be praise to my God and king..
(Praise the Lord, Praise Him)..
Let the first song that I sing.
Be praises (repeat)..
(Praise the Lord, Praise Him).
Let the first song that I sing.
Be praises to my God and king..
(repeat)..
Before my feet hit the floor.
I am gonna praise you Lord.
First song that I sing (repeat)..

You will lose your baby teeth.
At times you'll lose your faith in me.
You will lose a lot of things.
But you cannot lose my love.
You may lose your appetite.
Your guiding sense of wrong and right.
You may lose your will to fight.
But you cannot lose my love..
You will lose your confidence.
In times of trial your common sense.
You may lose your innocence.
But you cannot lose my love..
Many things can be misplaced.
Your very memories be erased.
No matter what the time or space.
You cannot lose my love..
You cannot lose.
You cannot lose.
You cannot lose my love..

Jesus, bright as the morning star
Jesus, how can I tell you how beautiful you are to me
Jesus, song that the angel sings
Jesus, dearer to my heart than anything

Sweeter than spring time
Purer than sunshine
Ever my song will be
Jesus, you're beautiful to me

Oh Lord you are so beautiful
So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful
Jesus you're beautiful to me

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Jesus you're beautiful to me
Wonderful, heavenly, beautiful
Jesus you're beautiful to me

Morning star, Lord you are, beautiful
Jesus you're beautiful to me

Sweeter than spring time
Purer than sunshine
Ever my song will be
Jesus, you're beautiful
