My Real World
This is not my home, there’s a place a little higher
Where I’m never alone, in my head it’s like a choir
And this ain’t all I see, these four walls and it’s done
‘Cause right in front of me, I’m blinded by the son
Take my hand for the ride
Heaven’s gates are swinging wide
C’mon in, welcome to my real world
Where the angels are singing
C’mon in, welcome to my real world
Where someone carries you, every time that you get weak
And someone sings for you, every time that you can’t speak

Surround Me

Surround Me
I come to you like shattered glass
with all these jagged pieces of my past
I’m staring down at this cracked reflection of you
wondering how you forgive me like you do
These angels dance around me
‘Cause I was lost and then you found me
It’s that kind of love that grounds me
Like two strong arms, like a forest of trees
You surround me
It all comes down to the light of your grace
as it illuminates the mercy on your face
Just to see you I bow my head and pray
I don’t need to look that hard to find you anyway
Like two strong arms, like a forest of trees
Like a blanket of stars and cool, fall breeze
These angels, I see them every time I turn around
I can hear them calling out my name and jumping for joy

Like You Do

Like You Do
I’m under Your wings tonight, out from the cold
Finding the strength to keep running
I’m under Your wings tonight, gathering my soul
‘Cause the hardest part’s still coming
There’s no warmer place than here in the light of your face
I don’t know why you love me like you do
I don’t know how this ever could be true
I don’t know why it’s me You reach out to, but You do, You do
I’m under Your wings tonight, in a world that is broken
Looking for someplace to hide
I’m under Your wings tonight, with the words You have spoken
Learning to stand from the inside
I have wondered why, You keep loving me
An undeserved, unconditional mystery

Coming Around Again
Sometimes it takes a little, sometimes it takes a little time
Sometimes it takes a little, sometimes it takes a little trust
Sometimes it takes a little, sometimes it takes a little pain
It always takes a little, it always takes a little love
Hold on, hold on
It’s all coming around again
Sometimes it takes a little, sometimes it takes a little soul
Sometimes it takes a little, sometimes it takes a little grace
Sometimes it takes a little, sometimes it takes a little strain
It always takes a little, it always takes a little love

Stay

Stay
I love it when you speak to me
in your humble, quite voice
I love it when you let your heart out in the open
I love it when you turn to me
with the struggle in your way
I love it when you hang on every word I say
won’t you stay?
stay, won’t you stay?
for a little while
I love it in the stillness
of the quite, early dawn
I love it when you’re screaming at the top of your lungs
I love it when the tears you’ve cried
you don’t wipe away
I love it when you bow your head in the fading day

This Distance
The doctor’s tell me you might not be the same
I know God’s here, but sorrow is blocking my view
But I’m holding on, I’m holding on to you
This distance is taking you away
This instance feels like the sky is lifting up
And the bottom’s dropping out on me
I’d like to hold on to my faith, hold on to trust
And hold on to the light inside each of us
Hold on to truth, I’d like to hold on to something
But feels like I’m reaching out and there’s nothing
I’m dreaming of walking out of here and carrying you home
And learning all the things I thought I already knew
And holding on, holding on to you
Darkness falls down on me, darkness falls down on me
But I’ll be holding on, He’ll see me through
I’ll still be holding on, holding on to you

Listening Now
I didn’t know you talk in a whisper
I was looking for lightning across the sky
You didn’t call my name in the thunder
And I said why even try
I figured it was too hard to reach you
Like a river too deep to cross
So I set out to find my own way
‘till I got good and lost
I’m listening now, I’m hearing the sound
I’m feeling you all around me, all around me
I was standing alone at a crossroad
Looking for some kind of change
I was watching life pass right by me
Like a bullet train
I got caught in the rumble
Of my own noise
I could conjure up just enough
To drown out Your still small voice
In the rhythm of the rain, in the passing of pain
In the freedom I feel, I know You’re here
The touch of wind on my face, every breath I take
Even the simplest things are coming in loud and clear

The Truth Is Out There
When I was a kid, I got caught in the power lines
I’ve never been the same boy since
Developemental Block that’s what they called it but I know better than that
I encountered something that turned my whole world around
The truth is out there I was fading once but now I’m gone
The truth is out there I guess all these crazies can’t be wrong
The truth is out there I’m a raving lunatic I’m sure
But there’s got to be something so much bigger than me
Worth giving my life up for
Now that I’m grown, I remember those power lines
And the feeling that I got back then
Like a shot to the spine, and I think I heard some angels singing
I encountered something that turned my whole world around
The stars are shining bright tonight
I stare off into that distant light, and it’s further than I can see
I was abducted by His grace one night, caught up in some kind of holy light
His love has captured me
The truth is out there if you’re looking you can find it too
The truth is out there can’t you see God’s hand reaching out for you

Holy Water

Holy Water
I took a walk up to the mountains
To get lost in all the green
I stopped beside the water’s edge
Just to take in all I’d seen
I filled my hands and splashed my face
I never felt so clean
Something moved inside my soul
Like a pure and running stream
Like holy water, so simple and free
Like holy water, washing over me
I took a walk up to the mountain
To find the cross and know it’s true
I felt your grace pouring down
And I reached out to you
Caught in the current of this endless spring
Lifting every stain
I found forgiveness in a deep blue flood
I will never be the same
