Delights In You

You can hear it as a whisper

You can feel it like a breeze

Like a memory too good to be true

It'll stop you for a second

Your burdens all feel lifted

And you wonder, can I be somebody new

Cause you know deep in your bones

How this world can weigh you down

But its hope that helps you rise up in the end

He will find you in the alley

When the bottle's almost empty

When you don't like who you see in the mirror

It'll find you in the ICU

When the doctor give the room the news

When the reasons and the answers don't seem clear

One day it will appear

How love has brought you here

And it's hope that helps you rise up in the end

No matter where you've been

No matter what you've done

No matter if it's hell you've been through

He loves you to the end

Enough to send his son

That's how much he delights in you

Break My Heart

I see children in slavery

It's all too much so I turn off the TV

A world away from the world they're in

So I give up before I begin

To try to make this right

To try to love like Christ

It's hard to see past my picket fence

So I give a little from a guilty conscience

How can I ever really make a change

When I'm too afraid to even feel their pain

I believe that love can bridge the distance

I believe that one can make a difference

Cause one man on a cross, changed the world

God Is Watching

It should've been the greatest day

Something people celebrate

But she has never felt so overwhelmed

Her husband left a month before

She holds a brand new baby boy

And wonders can she do this by herself

But even in the thick of all that no one sees

As hard as it might still be to believe

Baseball field, 10am

Stuck out in right field again

But isn't that the story of his life

A borrowed glove, an old braves hat

He's looking out for mom and dad

But he scans the crowd for people he won't find

Even in the midst of all that no one sees

As hard as it might still be to believe

Where can we go

Where can we hide

There is no where, no where we escape from your sight

No valleys too low

No mountains too high

There is no where, no where we escape from your sight

There is no where, no where we excape from your sight

Cross The Line

How's the view, from where you're standing

Stranded on the edge of beautiful

And you can't see what you've been missing and your wishin

You could find the love that you've been lookin for

From where I sit, I see forgiveness

And it covers everything I've ever done

I just want you to feel

the mercy and the mystery

And the freedom when you sins are finally gone

And you're moving on

From the darkness, in the light

From the shadows, into a new life

He is all you need...why don't you cross the line

And you'll find

Beauty of the Cross

At the cross I find the beauty of your matchless grace

At the cross I see a king who died to take my place

Its the moment that you made me clean and pardoned my soul

Amazing grace that I would be allowed unto your throne

Not by my own will but solely by your will alone

I'm unworthy of this love you're showing to me

I see my desperate need

Not by my own works that I may boast or I may come

But simply through your Son the sinless and Exalted One

Only through the cross that Iʼm made clean to draw near to you

Saved so that You would receive all glory due Your name

Everlasting God from age to age you never change

A true love story remains for all eternity

That all the world would see

My sinful soul could only be

Reedeemed by the blood of a sinless king

So you came to the world that You had made

Conquered sin on the cross and you rose from the grave

Figured Out

You'd think we'd have it figured out

With 2000 years of practicing

And we give you little cause to doubt

Just listen to the pretty songs we sing

You'd think we'd have it figured out

All dressed up in Sunday morning chique

Our choir would make any pastor proud

and our altar call's quite busy from week to week

But if God's so big how can we think

that we have him figured out

You'd think we'd have it figured out

If you heard how well that we can preach

We always seem to pull a crowd

And they're always smiling when they leave

You'd think we'd know better by now

That God is not relying on our plans

He doesn't need our paper crowns

Cause he holds the world in his sovereign hands

No he's not dependent on our works

To showcase just how much he's worth

Love I'm Living For

I wanna love you with the wisdom of the ages

With all the patience of an old oak tree

You're like a story book with well worn pages

I never wanna miss a thing

I wanna love you like the dawning of a new day

With all the passion of the summer sun

I wanna paint my love with colors that won't soon fade

Cause we have only just begun

And it's a long road that we're walking on

I wanna know you like the routine of my work day

I wanna live it like I'm wild and free

And I expect you like the coming of the seasons

But still you're changing everything

How Can It Be

You say you know the hairs upon my head

But I think that you'd be more concerned with things like raising up the dead

You say you hear my gentle whisperings

but I think that you'd be more consumed by so much more important things

Oh God of wonders

Sometimes I have to wonder

Sometimes I need to know you hold the stars

But right now I need for you to be so small that you can hold my heart

And sometimes I need your voice to calm the seas

But right now I need for you to calm the raging storm inside of me

Oh God of wonders

Sometimes I have to wonder

You're big enough that I've seen healings

You're big enough to change a heart

You're big enough to give me feelings

And still you're small enough to care what they are

Weeps For You

She's sitting in the pew on Sunday morning

Praying what the pastor says can change her broken life

And the rain outside has really started pouring

But the darkest clouds of all are the ones she feels inside

She looks up at Jesus carved in stained glass

And her heart feels as heavy as the sky

She wonders if he hears her desperate prayers

And is that rain or are those tears he's crying

He's sitting in the waiting room at St. Jude's

Holding his wife's hand and what little hope that's left

But when the doctor enters in his head is shaking

He says I am so sorry... but we tried our very best

Out of the corner of his eye he sees a painting

Of Jesus cradling a baby lamb

And he can see as he looks through his own tears

That the savior is now crying along with him

He never did promise that it would be easy

There are bumps in the road, no matter where you go

But he went before us..so we don't have to go alone

Here and Someday

Please don't tell me how to grieve

cause what works for you it may not be for me

I know you mean well, just being a friend

but from where I sit, there seems to be no end

to The rain and thunder

or the weight I'm under

A thousand times I've sung the lines

of how my God makes everything alright

But when it hits so close to home

I question everything Iʼve ever known

to The rain and thunder

or the weight I'm under

One day He'll dry our tears

Our pain will disappear

But we're not there yet

No we're not there yet

What Water Can Do

He cannot forget that Saturday

The day his life forever changed

As the clouds unleashed their darkest wrath

And sandbags could not hold it back

He cannot forget that Saturday

When all his dreams were washed away

When the laughter and the lights went out

And were replaced with fear and doubt

He will not forget that Saturday

In just one week after the rain

When he finally learned his neighbors' names

As they helped him drag the wreck away

He will not forget that Saturday

When called to serve, they all obeyed

Not just his house but his heart was clean

As they reached out to meet his need

He will not forget that Sunday when

The living water washed his sins

Then in front of his church family

he stepped into the Baptist stream

He will not forget that Sunday when

He could not hide his childlike grin

Cause he was raised to life from this point on

Hallelujah, his chains were gone

Oh Hallelujah, his chains were gone
