Every Goodbye
02:45
|
|||
|
I remember every goodbye, we’ve had so many over all this time
Leaving me between the known and pushed and pulled to where I’ve not gone
There will come a day when, goodbye will be hello
There will be a time to come, to stay and not to go
Until then, let’s build a bridge
With pieces of our hearts, pieces of our hearts
Until then, there’ll be a way
To mend the broken parts, to mend the broken parts
We’ll build a bridge across, in strength of what we lost
These goodbyes are bridges drawn with each goodbye heavy and raw
With our hearts, this weight we’ll pull, though each goodbye is adding to the load
I’ll build to you, you build to me
Though hard as it may be, we’ll build it up to see
You build to me, I’ll build to you
Not with things we knew, but in the way we grew
Until then, let’s build a bridge
With pieces of our hearts, pieces of our hearts
Until then, there’ll be a way
To mend the broken parts, He’ll mend the broken parts
Until then, let’s build a bridge
With pieces of our hearts, with pieces
Until then, there’ll be a way
To mend the broken parts, to mend the broken parts
We’ll build a bridge across, in strength of what we lost
Not with what we knew, but in the way we grew

Faithful
01:03
|
|||
|
Do you ever wish you could, unknow what now is known, Something oh so heavy and so thick
It threatens to tear and burn, leaving what was done undone, I’ve heard that ignorance is bliss
It’s a hard thing just to know, and why it’s hard to tell, the telling makes it much more real
But it can’t be ignored, it’ll turn you inside out, and dull the heart and what you feel
But the light shines in the dark, and unfailing love never parts
He’s faithful, our loss is great but He is greater, He’s still worthy and is able
He’s faithful, His love and mercy never waiver from the depths of depths He saves us
So now we know the known, it’s never going back and now so what to do with it
Those things they happened then, we just had no control but this time now is our next step
Oh, darkness can’t put out the light, with mercy and grace as my eyes
Teach me your ways, so in truth I’ll stay, Teach me your ways so in truth I’ll stay
God of the known and unknown, teach me your ways
God of the seen and unseen, teach me your ways

Healing the Broken
03:38
|
|||
|
A spark to flame, a shared something, a special gain, a bond remains
A simple call, to say hello, guess what I made, and did you know
Walk with me through life at the pace it offers, not scared away, love gives an honest answer
A second chance it’s not too late to do what you should have done
To take a chance and still be loved, to be a friend, have a friend won
Committed to the journey, not an experience. Enjoy the irony, not seeing me as any less
The joy to find, peace of mind, and something more than
A closed hello, it’s not a show, just hearts wide open
A place to shine, for you and I, a true me spoken
God enters in, and there begins, healing the broken
Oh, to know as seasons come as seasons go even so
Just to know and to be known a special gift to behold
When it’s you and me, we both find true direction, I will, I will follow, that truth when paths are broken

These Moments
03:30
|
|||
|
This life is anything but ordinary, We live a long way from how it could be
And when you leave, I hope you see, the many ways that you were loved and carried
I wish that you could see how I see you, That you’d remember the way that I do
So when I’m gone and you live on, You won’t forget the life the light that you came from
Because as time goes I know, Yes I know something you don’t
These moments can’t last forever despite all this time together
And one day, you’ll take to wing and fly, you’ll fly
What could be said will have been said and leaving will be arriving instead
And that day, you’ll take to wing and fly
Your laugh will change it just won’t be the same, your little feet will grow to fill big shoes
And while my love for you will keep, there’s One who loves you even longer and deep
Because as time goes I know, Yes I really know what you don’t
Oh, stay together, as iron sharpens iron. Remember the Word as He is. Remember the Word as He lives.

Let It Be Love
03:39
|
|||
|
It’s been a long day and I’m overdrawn, My words are meant to hurt and they are said so strong
He storms off in anger, little feelings hurt so big, Her face full of tears, little hands in little fists
And all we all want, is something more than this end
I’ve done it once more and this won’t be the last, What I need is all I can see and patience is all run out
Losing self-control is more than losing myself, Trading who I am for the lie of something else
And the truth’s what they want for their story to begin
This is oh so hard, Help me be oh so brave; Let me make way to honor the One who saves
Let it be love, let it be love, let it be your love
Let it be soft, let it be still because it’s all yours
Oh to leave it right here and not see the pain, But what you need to see is me in Jesus forgiven and free
I open up a window to let all the light in, they see a broken me in all of my weakness
And all that I want is for Him to step in
Everything’s louder here, caught in this time and space; But I get to point the way, to His forever grace
Let it be love, let it be love, let it be your love
Let it be soft, let it be still because it’s all yours
Give them your love, give them your love, give them your love
Let it be soft, let it be still because it’s all yours; give them your love

Dream Maker
01:54
|
|||
|
I’ve got my feet on the ground, not my head in the clouds, Still wondering what comes next
I’ve got my list full of dreams, they can all be real things, Put one foot in front of the other
I’ve got a dream maker, He makes things come true,
He’s a risktaker yet a strong anchor I bet He’ll bet on you
He’s not a heartbreaker, He won’t give up on you
They’re no deal-breakers, He’ll take a hater, He’s that forgiving too

Lead Me On
04:19
|
|||
|
I went away from myself, I did not know which way she went
It wasn’t a choice, the silent call, to forget what was good and head straight to the fall
It was so quick and so strong, suddenly everything was wrong
I tried my best to stand tall, but all of my cries, all of my tears, were swallowed whole
All of my cries, all of my fears, lead me far from home
I went away and I wanna come back, please pick up the pieces and all that I lack
Lead me on, lead me on back to you
I lost my way and I wanted to stay, in all that I knew I knew nothing too
Lead me on, lead me on back to you
Hiding my face and my filth, lies started sliding out like silk
Blaming myself who could understand, winter in spring I did not recognize myself
Did you call and I missed it, everything was so quiet
When I come back will I see you, running to me, running to meet me in my debt
When I come back, when I come back, will I see you, you are the one you are the one who never left
Pressed down low, time went slow, the hourglass all filled with sand
For how long, must I go, I’m calling, I’m calling
I went away and I wanna come back, pick up the pieces and all that I lack
Lead me on, lead me on
I lost my way and I wanted to stay, in all that I knew I knew nothing too
Lead me on, lead me on back to you
Lead me on, lead me on back to you

Strength To Be Found
03:21
|
|||
|
There is strength to be found, not holding on but letting go,
To a place where truth speaks loud, to a heart that longs to know.
A grace placed on the wind, a great place to begin
I feel a closeness come to me, I once was blind but now I see, oh oh
This is not just a song, it’s a joy beat loud, an open eye, a patch of blue in a cloudy sky
This is not just a song, it’s a heart ripped out, a soothing balm, a real good way to dig deep down
There’s something here that can’t be seen, but it’s a place I long to be
These words and sounds were meant for me, and now my heart it begs to sing
A light shines in the darkness, revealing the beauty around us
Sing oh sing of my redeemer from death to life He has bought me
Mmmmmmm Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
This is not just a song, it’s a joy beat loud for the lost that’s found
This is not just a song, it’s a battle cry ‘til the race is done
This is not just a song, it’s a reaching out for the weak made strong
This is not just a song, it’s a soothing balm for the road that long
There is grace to be found, not holding on but letting go

Missing You
03:56
|
|||
|
Here we are but you were taken, all at once you were gone
And all the pain and on and on and all the questions left unanswered
And no matter what people will say, and no matter how small you were
And no matter how long you stayed, I’m missing you, I’m missing you
And all around, they have their questions but no big deal you can try again
But all the children in the world could not produce the smiles that you did
And no matter what people will say, and no matter how small you were
And no matter how long you stayed, I’m missing you, I’m missing you
But wait I’m here, here with the King, here with the Savior (2xs)
And I know, I know the promises that in the dark You will show Your light
But oh, my heart it feels an emptiness and its darkness wants more answers
But wait I’m here, here with the King, here with the Savior
I’m here, here with the King, here with the Savior
Wipe your tears, I am here, here with the Savior
Have no fear, have no fear the Savior’s there too

From Here
04:27
|
|||
|
Running away, running long,
where were you hiding, while we sang our sad song, sad song
And it feels like you just went away, left us standing here with our words in the air
And it feels like we did our part too but not knowing the way, not knowing what else to say
Where do we go, tell me where do we go
Are you alone? Are you heard?
Is there a fighting, in yourself to return, to return
But it feels like you just shut it all down with these tears in our hearts, no one turning around
And it feels like we should start anew because looking at you I see myself too
Where do we go, let’s take it slow from here
Silence for years, silence never more
Let’s help each other, learn what family is for, what it’s for
But it feels like you just let it all fall with your back to the ones who’d help carry it all
And it feels like we’re now somewhere else. We’ve all changed a bit. Let’s see what’s left of it
From where we have been, let’s try again from here

Seen
05:07
|
|||
|
This is happening, ripping out you’ve no control
You won’t be ready, no you won’t, just can’t let go
Robbed of a childhood, a father took instead of giving at all
The fatherless left you fatherless and on it goes
Trying sooner, trying hard, is it a waste
Someone can’t give what you don’t have to give away
Why so many left un-whole
Why so many things left untold
Someone else is calling you
Someone else is calling you
Calling you seen, well made
Calling you loved, calling you home (2x)
Mourning losing something not gained at high cost
But someone else is calling life to what was lost
All that is broken can be whole
All that is empty can be full
Hope to the hopeless, this Father’s got, Love for the loveless and He’s
Healing the broken and His, His arms are always open
Sweet for the bitter, Peace for disaster
Spring for the winter (and He is calling, calling) (2x)

Leave a Light
03:41
|
|||
|
Footsteps in hallways, sound small and far, the light at the front door is no longer on
Connections like lost keys, are hard to find, Nothing’s seen, Nothing’s gained, both deaf and blind
But I’ll leave a light on, oh, this life was crafted for me and you
I’ll run this race for I know, Our roots will grow deeper oh, Our roots will grow deeper oh – oh
They would have called it, pain’s not worth gain, but this won’t always be, nor has it always been
Our futures made, of in-between, it’s more than just right now, it’s more than hurt and pain
So I’ll leave a light on, oh, we’re better together just me and you
I’ll run this race for I know, Our roots will grow deeper oh, Our roots will grow deeper oh
Let’s leave a light on, Let’s leave a light on oh
Let’s run this race for we know, Our roots will grow deeper oh, Our roots wills grow deeper oh
