Peace Becomes A River
05:35
|
|||
we are on a journey
and there is no destination
If you’ve made it then you missed it
somewhere along the way
It is in the breaking
It’s in the Joy and in the Sorrow
That we learn that life is borrowed
from a good and gracious king
It ain't an easy thing
I have travelled
And I have moved the road beneath me
To find an answer to the mystery
But all I found was wind
And it was not in the earthquake
And it was not in fire
But the answer finally found me
In the whisper of a friend.
Right where it's always been.
So hold on,
until his peace becomes a river,
until his peace becomes a river just hold on.
and when you’re drowning
when you are drowning in his mercy
when you are drowning in his mercy, just let go.
Now, I have prayed for brighter days
And seen my days grow darker still
I have cried a thousand tears
And felt a broken heart
And I have fallen to my knees
I've asked him why, And begged him please
And lovingly he said to me
What I now say to you
hold on,
until his peace becomes a river,
until his peace becomes a river just hold on.
and when you’re drowning
when you are drowning in his mercy
when you are drowning in his mercy, just let go.
Let the fear be gone.

When You Speak
03:56
|
|||
If I'm just a mist
And I'm gone in a jiff
What am I leaving behind me?
Who am I serving
It's rather unnerving
Believing in something as small as myself.
So when you speak I hope I'm listening
And not counting dollars, starching my collar,
Worrying bout things that mean nothin, nothin to you.
INTERLUDE
And If the eye of a needle
Is all that is equal
To my chance at eternity
Why would I waste it
When its so easily tasted
By letting go of everything?
So when you speak I hope I’m listening
and not trying to open a door that your closin'
worrying bout things that mean nothin, nothin to...
You call me to give
just like you gave
and just like you came
you call me to go
But just like a bird
is chained to the skyway
I’m trained to believe
I’m better off my way
How do I break it?
Can I forsake it?
Without you, it’s pointless
In my riches, I’m naked
I need you to move me
and I need you to move
I don’t want to miss it
because I’m trying to prove you
So when you speak, I hope I’m listening,
not speaking in tongues, empty of love
worrying about things that mean nothing, nothing to you.

I Will Stand
05:39
|
|||
When my cup is full and overflowing
and your love feels like enough to keep me going
And I stand in your light fully knowing
I am not alone
When I hear the sound of my enemies feet
and when my broken heart is in retreat
when I’ve lost everything and I'm defeated
and all alone
I will stand
I will stand
I will stand on your promise. 2x
I have felt abandoned by you, Jesus
but then I am reminded you are with us
And even when we doubt you, you forgive us
and call us your own
And I have seen the hopelessness around me
turn to hope in the light of your mercy
I know that you surround and you uphold me
and call me your own.
So I will stand
I will stand
I will stand on the Promise. 2x
By fame, riches, or bread alone
I do not live, no, I live on every word
that comes from you oh God.
So I will stand
I will stand
I will stand on the Promise. 2x

Question and Confession
04:30
|
|||
Is everything sad gonna come untrue
just because I believe in you
Well, I don’t know, but what else I can do
I got an achin in my heart
and it aint a lie tearing me apart
No, its the truth that I find so hard
So teach me wisdom in the secret place
I don’t have to see your face
I know that just a little taste
Is enough to get me through, to get me through.
Why should I have everything?
It makes no sense, but all the same
I expect it like Im owed something.
And why don’t you feel like enough?
I believe you are, but it don’t help much
And I end up lookin for answers in the dust.
So teach me wisdom in the secret place
I don’t have to see your face
I know that just a little taste
Is enough to get me through, to get me through.
I tried to build your garden but Im no good with my hands
I tried to walk on water but I couldn’t leave the sand
The only thing that keeps me trying is your voice telling me I can
So teach me wisdom in the secret place
I don’t have to see your face
I know that just a little taste
Is enough to get me through, to get me through.

Place At The Table
05:36
|
|||
Make me a place at your table
invite my enemies
teach me to love like you love
how you love me
hold me like a mother
until the child inside me sees
the sum of all that I am
Is in your love for me.
And Breathe over me
Open up my eyes
Breathe over me
And make these bones come alive
Make me a place at Your table
Face to face with my grief
Tell me that it's ok
And then hold me while I grieve
Hold me like a mother
Hold me till I see
The Sum of all that I am
Is in your love for me
And Breathe over me
Open up my eyes
Breathe over me
And make these bones come alive
Let praise rise from my lips
Teach me your ways
That you are good
And your love endures always.

Who Am I (Psalm 8 & 9)
04:07
|
|||
Oh Lord,
How majestic is your name in all the earth.
You set your glory high above the heavens.
Oh Lord
Who am I that you are mindful of me?
The moon and stars are the works of your hand.
I am just a child
but my mouth speaks truth
and my lips know the strength
of what your word can do
who am I
Lord who am I
who am I that you would care for me?
who am I
Lord who am I
that you would crown me with glory,
and crown me with honor, who am I?
Oh Lord
I will give thanks with all of my heart
I’ll be glad and I'll find my joy in you!
Oh Lord
You shelter the weary and the weak
you keep me safe when there’s trouble at my door
I am just a child
but my mouth speaks truth
and my lips know the strength
of what your word can do
who am I
Lord who am I
who am I that you would care for me?
who am I
Lord who am I
that you would crown me with glory,
and crown me with honor
who am I
who am I
