Settle down
And listen the show
Open your mind
To the beauty of the world
Oh what you'll see
Oh what you'll know
You'll be free
To enjoy the show
Enjoy the show
Enjoy the show
Sit with me
I want you to be
The girl I see
Grow old with
And laugh at my jokes
Though bad they will be
I smile at your soul
With you I'm free
To enjoy the show
Enjoy the show
Oh happy tree
What beauty you have
Magical leaves
Colors bright and sad
I am he
Who laughed at fate
Oh so wrong I was
God gave me destiny
To enjoy the show
Enjoy the show

Run And Not Grow Weary
05:49
|
|||
|
My knees are buckling to the point of giving in with nothing left to lose
My breath is heavy is head is low my spirit being bloody, beat, and bruised
The memory of what was and the illusion of what could have been is clear
The only words that come to mind are the poetry that I'm not made in fear
I shall run and not grow weary
I shall walk and not faint
Though I walk through the dark valley
You are there
I will not fear
I'm sorry God for being such a fickle soul who always thinks too much
Forgive me for my choosing to ignore your voice as babbling and such
Be with me in the darkest times and lift me up above my hollow fears
Overfill my mind with you sweet beauty and wipe away my tears
I shall run and not grow weary
I shall walk and not faint
though I walk through the dark valley
You are there
I will not fear
I want nothing nothing but your glory
To rise and change my world, transform me
I want nothing but your mercy
To pump my veins and always move me
I shall run and not grow weary
I shall walk and not faint
Though I walk through the dark valley
You are there
I will not fear

Behold Thy Wonder
06:01
|

|
And now we're bearing
The cup of life that we've been praying for
We're happy to be in peace
This night is soothing
Our heads are bowed before the One
The Reverend
Hallowed be Thy Name
Oh Spirit move me
Oh won't You come and stay a while now
I am yearning for your moving thrill
And with your wingspan
You always hold me tight in solitude
Where no thing can separate our love
Uncounted miracles and promises
You've kept to show our significance
The love You have for me is where I make my home
Your majesty floods the world with beautiful
Reenactments of Your perfect Word
Shape and mold my will to meet Your very own
And now we're hearing
The sound of grace abounding in our hearts
And healing all our broken bones
I say hello God
How are you doing on this day you made
I love you, my Abba Father God
Uncounted miracles and promises
You've kept to show our significance
The love You have for me is where I make my home
Your majesty floods the world with beautiful
Reenactments of Your perfect Word
Shape and mold my will to meet your very own
I walk with you in the path of righteousness You lead me down
And I know that You will never fail to lift me up to the
Skies that You painted with Your very words and show me all the world
And say "I made it all for you"
And now we're breathing
In the air that God created for this very
Moment we exist
He is among us
His presence soothes the soul who welcomes Him
And fills up the void that needs His love
Uncounted miracles and promises
You've kept to show our significance
The love You have for me is where I make my home
Your majesty floods the world with beautiful
Reenactments of Your perfect word
Shape and mold my will to meet your very own

Fall
I'm falling deeper
Drowning happily
Into her arms,
Oh, I can see her
In my dreams
In my heart
She sung
Sung to me
Soft and sweetly
Soft and low
She's close
By my side
Breathing softly
Soft and warm
Grab my neck and hold it tight
These tears are good
I've found the light
And hold my hand
And kiss my eyes
And hug me close
And give me life
And you
You are beautiful
You
You are beautiful
You
You are beautiful
You
You are beautiful
She wants
To make me happy
It's more than I deserve
And so is she
I
I want to free her
Give her dreams wings
Give her love
Grab my neck and hold it tight
These tears are good
I've found the light
And hold my hand
And kiss my eyes
And hug me close
And give me life
And you
You are beautiful
You
You are beautiful
You
You are beautiful
You
You are beautiful

Bottles
05:19
|
|||
|
As the bottle hits the bar
My head is as hazy as my heart
I search for like in this foul dark
Melancholy, I fall apart
Even when I feel alone
And when I'm broken down
And when I'm hard up
I fall to my knees and hit the ground
And suddenly, with clarity, I knew
That I make my shadows what they are
And where I'm at is because of what I've done
And all that could save me from myself
Is the God who can make anybody new
Ghosts surround in this nowhere
Silently breathing in the air
But then I know that I am gold
And cast them away as I've been told
Even when I feel alone
And when I'm broken down
And when I'm hard up
I fall to my knees and hit the ground
And suddenly with clarity I knew
That I make my shadows what they are
And where I'm at is because of what I've done
And all that could save me from myself
Is the God who can make anybody new

An Admission Of Guilt
07:52
|
|||
|
I sit here alone and I hear from my mouth come a sigh
Though you're away it still feels like you're so very near
I do not know if my actions are so justified
Or if they are of a man who has indeed lost his mind
I don't know if it's love or if it's fear
But one thing I want you to know my dear
Is that to me you're dear
Is that to me you're dear
I, I need to protect you
I need to romance you
I need to be near you
Is it better to let go and accept what it is
Or to attempt to correct all the things that are wrong?
Tight is the grip of the thought that you're mine, not his
But tighter is my hold on you and for far too long
I don't know if it's love or if it's fear
But one thing I want you to know my dear
Is that to me you're dear
Is that to me you're dear
I, I need to protect you
I need to romance you
I need to be near you
I, I need to protect you
I need to romance you
I need to be near you
Now we're apart and it's all my fault
It was me
You were so young and i was so wrong
It was me
What did I know it was not mine to change
It was me
You're life is your own, I went far too far
It was me
This was all from me
This was all from me
It was me
It was me
It was me
It was me
It was me
It was me
It was me
I'm so sorry

Hope (reissue)
03:42
|
|||
|
By the lights we roam
And cry for our hope
With broken down and crossed out gold
We stare as silence falls
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
For His Name's sake

If I May Die (reissue)

Even though I may be gone for a little while
You know that I am doing fine
I hope you know that I most dearly love you
It's so true
I love you so
Don't mourn
'cause I am breathing
My heart is beating
And I'm alright
Don't mourn
It's God I'm seeing
And I am having
The time of my life
I hope that I ave made your life better
Or maybe gave you some lovely memories
To everyone who made me who I am
I thank you, and love you so
Don't mourn
'cause I am breathing
My heart is breathing
And I'm alright
Don't mourn
It's God I'm seeing
And I am having
The time of my life

Heaven

Here we are
Breathe the air
Thy sweet mists
Oh sweet mists
Paths of gold
Trees of old
Gates of pearl
Skies that swirl
Grass so green
Mind so keen
Mighty throne
Brightly shown
Royalty
Bestow
Barefoot walk
While I talk
With my love
God is love
Here we are
Breathe the air
Thy sweet mists
Oh sweet mists
Time is gone
I am home

God has saved us
Quench our thirst now
Quench our thirst now
As the deer pants for
Water so my soul
Does long after you
