I sit in silence in the corner He sits aglow in warmth and light Watching Him, my heart grows warmer Watching me, He makes safe the night My heart becomes a hidden wardrobe Through which we enter open space Land and water which His eyes probe And loving me there leaves His trace Oooh We walk together in the forest We sit in silence by a brook We see the sights like we are tourists Though I am often too ashamed to look It’s me, not Him, that is the judge I turn upon myself, and I cry He offers me the sweetest nudge To turn to Him and to not ask why Oooh For though my passions like a thorn bush Scrape and scratch me as I pass It’s not the pull or the hurried push That frees me at the very last It’s only grace which can release me Like a stream that leads me home when I am lost Despair and fearfulness soon leave me When Son like Sunlight melts the frost Oooh Accepting all of my distractions We agree to take our time Come further up and come further in He says as candlelight still shines

Like a Child 03:29
Lord, let me be like a child And you like my dad And we’re going on a trip You have to take care of everything And I ask you are we there yet? And you ask me to trust you And you buckle me in And you roll the windows down And we sing out Into the clear blue sky And we’re driving into a storm The sunshine has faded to gray And our tires are broken and worn But you say be not afraid Cause you know the way The calm in the car makes my fear go away And we sing out Into the pouring rain And we’re driving into the night You call all the stars to their place And I fall asleep to their light And dream of land filled with grace And you drive so slow Over the mountains and rivers you know And you sing out Onto a brand new road And you’ve brought us to paradise You wake me gently from sleep And I’m gazing into your eyes And you’re gazing at me And time stands still And we smile at how far we have come And we sing out Into the rising sun

One day I sat outside I felt like I wanted to cry I looked up at the trees I couldn’t believe my ears They started to talk to me And they said You are here And we are here And we have this day So let’s give it away To the one who knows To the one who sees To the one who is all of reality He is the one You’re not alone He is the sun You are a flower He planted and you grow Beneath his rays He is the rain And He falls in mysterious ways So that day as the sun shone I realized I wasn’t alone I looked up at the trees And I thanked them for talking to me And I said You are here And I am here And we have this day So let’s give it away To the one who knows To the one who sees To the one who is all of reality He is the one I’m not alone He is the sun I am a flower He planted and I grow Beneath his rays He is the rain And He falls in mysterious ways That I don’t know but it’s okay He is the truth and the life and the way I’m not afraid To walk alone I’m not alone So that day as I sat outside I looked up at the bright blue sky I sang this song with the trees It melted away into the gentlest, quiet breeze

Our Love 03:21
In the silence between you and me I sit a-sailing on the open sea Of our love I think about the times I couldn’t see you My conclusion is that I don’t wanna be without you In my life I get scared I’m not enough to hold you But you promise that I don’t really need to worry Bout our love But I know that there are lots of miles between us I must admit that I get frightened by the distance So I run, run to you You take me in your arms and say it’s all okay You warm my heart up in your own kind of special way And it’s love I’m not scared I’m not enough to hold you So I promise that you don’t really need to worry Bout our love In the silence between you and me I sit a-sailing on the open sea Of our love

Vanity 01:56
I look outside, it snows Trees were green a minute ago I look outside, it shines Trees were dead a minute ago Time passes by So does my life I’m not afraid to die If in you Each river meets the sea But never fills it completely The sun climbs in the sky But it falls again Each and every night There goes my life What did I do? Now I must die Did I live for you? Wisdom and love Folly and falling undone All else is vanity But you

Come Find Me 03:53
Is it you? Is it me? I can’t seem to open up to thee The door is locked Though I knock Though I seek I can’t seem to find another key Should I just walk? Away from all these questions This tension in my heart Is only bearing more uncertainty What’s the point of dreaming Trying out for a part I can’t bear the vulnerability Lord, I am lost Come find me When I pray I can’t say All the fears and insecurities That never leave Will you reap What you sow Will the seeds you planted start to grow Up and away Away from all these questions This tension in my heart Is only bearing more uncertainty What’s the point of dreaming Trying out for a part I can’t bear the vulnerability Lord, I am lost Come find me Come find me And take me Away from all these questions This tension in my heart Is only bearing more uncertainty What’s the point of dreaming Trying out for a part I can’t bear the vulnerability Lord, I am lost Come find me

Yellow leaves bowing in the sunlit air As I drive South 279 Could it be just in mind The smell of incense in my hair? Red and blue frame your face in the light As silence listens for a spark Of golden embers in the dark A sign your love lasts through the night I pray that this waiting will give way to you I wait while they pray the words I can’t My heart has a hole that I can’t hide from you Is all that I need inside of me? Winter, spring, summer, autumn is near As I drive North 279 The thought of you comes back to my mind And yellow leaves have reappeared I pray that this waiting will give way to you I wait while they pray the words I can’t My heart has a hole that I can’t hide from you Is all that I need inside of me? I listen for your voice in the night I hear your silence in the stars and the moonlight I go in circles, I go in a straight line I see more clearly, I go out of my mind I listen for your voice in the night I hear your silence in the stars and the moonlight I lose direction, I just follow the signs I'm losing daylight, I've got nothing but time I prayed that this waiting would give way to you I've changed as the way has brought me farther than my fear My heart starts to heal as I come out of hiding Is all that I need inside of me? You’re all that I need

John 14 03:32
Do not let your heart be troubled You have faith in God Put your faith in me also Put your faith in me In the house of my Father There are many rooms If there weren’t, would I tell you I am going to make you a place? And if I go ahead of you I will prepare a place for you And I will come back and take you Safe to my Father’s house Do not let your heart be troubled Where I go you may be Do not let your heart be troubled Where I go you know the way And if I go ahead of you I will prepare a place for you And I will come back and take you Safe to my Father’s house We don’t know where you’re going We do not know the way If you show us the Father We’ll trust the words you say Do you not know I’m with you? Do you still not believe? I dwell within the Father The Father dwells in me This world will pass away But not the words I speak I am the way and the life I’m the truth you seek And if I go ahead of you I will prepare a place for you And I will come back and take you Safe to my Father’s house

My head is full of doubt and my heart with fear I want to know your love and that you’re near Speak into the noise and let the Truth be heard No lie can have a place beside your Word Way down on this road there’s a promise waiting for me You said you’d be with me til the end I know you are here though there is darkness all around me I’m waiting for the light I know you’ll send My friends have run away and all my guides are gone My manna for the journey is this song I’ll walk another mile if you can walk me one My feet will hit the trail until I’m done Way down on this road there’s a promise waiting for me You said you’d be with me til the end I know you are here though there is darkness all around me I’m waiting for the light I know you’ll send I know you are here though there is darkness all around me I’m waiting for the light I know you’ll send I’m waiting for the light I know you’ll send

It's Real 04:15
Thoughts and dreams and images Paint their way across my mind For a future yet unrealized I can wait. No, I don’t mind. Cause though the journey’s long and lonesome Crossing land that’s undefined Even ‘fore my feet start walking You have got my end in mind All those silent moments All those lonely nights You could hear my voice sighin’ in the fadin’ light All those great horizons All of my uncharted paths You could taste my hunger for a little bit of sane insight I just can’t believe it’s real You could take a crooked arrow Make it fly straight and true Cause though I’ve tried to keep a promise I can’t do it without you All those panicked moments All those worried nights You could hear my heartbeat tryin’ to keep itself alive All those reckless lies and All those broken covenants You could taste my hunger for a love that could survive I just can’t believe it’s real No more following the world It is lost and brokenhearted You’re the maker of the world You unite all that’s been parted All those empty moments All those barren nights You could hear my conscience puttin' up its best fight All those mixed emotions All those mangled memories You could taste my hunger for meaning in the pain of life All these joyful moments All these fruitful nights All this fearless laughter sayin’ we’re gonna be alright I just can’t believe it’s real Now, I do believe love’s real Yes, I know that you are real
