- 3 Minute Song
I tried to write a song, and keep it 3 minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work
[Chorus:]
I just don't have the words to say, cause words only get in my way
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
- Always Only You
One year after the rings and a west coast honeymoon
We are living in a rented house with a terrible view
You’re finishing school and I’m writing songs
We’ve got no money but our love is strong
I’m gonna love you always
Even on the not so sunny days
Through the good and the bad
- Beautiful Like This
"Beautiful Like This"
The fading sun, the rising moon
Are fighting for the afternoon
The day gives in, gives up its light
The stars wake up, to keep the night
And as you glory fill the sky, I wonder
- Before the Morning
Do you wonder why you have to feel the things that hurt you?
If there's a God who loves you where is He now?
Or maybe there are things you can't see
And all those things are happening to bring a better ending
Someday, somehow you'll see, you'll see
Would you dare, would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing?
- Do You Want To Know
If you want a heart of sympathy
Then pray to God to help you, please
See the world that Jesus sees
Yeah
But be careful what you ask Him for
Cause if you’re gonna open up that door
There’s no going back to before
- Fall Apart
Why in the world did I think I could
Only get to know you when my life was good?
When everything just falls in place
The easiest thing is to give you praise
Now it all seems upside down
'Cause my whole world is caving in
- How To Fall
It was prettier than poetry
The first time you said hello to me
Call it crazy, call it meant to be, yeah
But it didn’t take me long to see
That you mean more than anyone
I’m running in circles, jumping over hurdles
- I Refuse
Sometimes I,
I just want to close my eyes
And act like everyone’s alright
When I know they’re not.
This world needs God
But it’s easier to stand and watch.
I could pray a prayer and just move on
Like nothing’s wrong.
- I Still Believe In America
When I see Old Glory waving in a school yard
Where children laugh and play and learn what’s right
I remember those who fought to forge our freedom
And those who’d rather die than lose the fight
But today it seems we take it all for granted
And it’s easier to blame and criticize
But I, for one, will stand and pray
For healing in our land today
- Let Me Love You
Try and pretend that you're okay
But I don't believe the smile you fake
It's about time that you stopped saving face
I'll meet you where you are
I'll meet you where you are
Why don't you let me, let me love you?
- Listen
Well I live too loud and I talk too much
But somehow I don’t see it as such
Seems like what I love the most
Is the sound of my own voice
I pray my list and I say my piece
I check You off but I’m incomplete
Seems like what I’m missing most
- Pushing Back the Dark
One million reasons why, you shouldn't even try.
After all you're just one heart, a single candle in the dark.
And there are shadows here, feeding on your fears,
That you don't have what it takes - who are you to make a change?
But oh, oh, don't underestimate the God you follow.
Whatever you do, just don't look back.
- Right In Front Of Me
Some say we’ve all been searching for a God for years in vain
And some say belief is just the easy way around our pain
And sometimes I’d like to agree when they’re telling me that this is all an accident
Cause it’s hard to let this heart believe when my mind is screaming out I need more evidence
But do I really need more evidence?
I want a miracle, something impossible
- Savior, Please
Savior, please take my hand
I work so hard, I live so fast
This life begins, and then it ends
And I do the best that I can, but I don't know how long I'll last
I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
- Sing
Every bit of history
And every single breath we breathe
Has led us here and brought us to our knees
From carrying the curse we bear
And praying that He’s heard our prayers
To set us free
Oh, set us free
- Sing It
All the words in all the world could never say enough
All the notes in my guitar could never play enough
But You’ve placed this song inside my heart
And all I know to do for You is sing it
No, it’s not much, but it’s what I’ve got
And all I know to do for You is sing it
- Something's Got To Change
Something's Got To Change,
I'm thirsty, God, I'm thirsty
From drinking what destroys me
I'm pouring poison in my cup
I'm hungry, God, I'm hungry
Consuming what controls me
Somehow it never fills me up
- That Was Then, This Is Now
We used to hide from the light
We made friends with the night
We were headed the wrong way on a one way track
Going nowhere fast
We got used to the dark
We thought this is who we are
And we figured that we were just too far gone
- The Saints
To those whose steps aren't steady
To those whose hearts are heavy
To those whose faith is all but gone
To those that struggle on, struggle on
Come and lay your burdens down
Come lift your empty hands
You are not alone, we are not alone
- Undeniable
(Undeniable, Undeniable)
When I was a young kid, I felt it deep down in my bones
Father, when I met You, I knew You were there in my soul
No, I never needed a reason, just faith like a child
To see the Divine with more than my eyes
I found faith, undeniable faith
