Thank You 03:38
You made everything, everything I see You made the flowers and the bumble bee You made the rivers you made the trees You made the mountains and you made the seas And you made the people in the big city Made my heart and you told it to beat You made my friends and my family Made my love and you gave him to me so I Thank you, thank you Meaning has infused everything Thank you, thank you We know you rule, love will redeem Look around and you will see The world is not how its meant to be There is no love or sanctity of life We do just as we please But one day we’ll get down on our knees Shut our mouths and we will see The beauty and the glory We will shine and we will sing, sing Chorus …. We know you rule, love will redeem As the morning breaks through the night, now we see As the sun shines forth full bright so we’ll see Chorus

Spring 04:00
It’s been winter for way too long The snow keeps comin’ when will it be gone? You’re my sunshine, You’re my song But my soul is feelin’ cold so please come on Stop the snow from falling Start the growing I want to see the spring After a long winter I want to feel the heat oh I I want to see the sun Melting my frozen heart ‘Til I’m undone oh In the winter, colors turn white But I want it to be green and full and bright Bring the flowers, bring the light Breathe into me, bring the dead to life Stop the snow from falling Start the growing Chorus
4.
Dark 04:15
I wake up early, I drive to work, it’s dark outside And here in my heart, like outside my window It’s dark as night It slipped right in, like a thief, and stole my sun Did I leave the key in the lock Did I slip from the rock that was underneath Chorus: Oh (Love), don’t let me stay down Hope, don’t leave me alone God, God where did you go, where did you go I’m losing myself, that’s how I feel, from dawn until night So I fall asleep, lured by the lies, But I feel to worthless to fight Chorus I know in my head that I’m wrong He is right here inside my song But I feel the rain in my heart The clouds rolling in, making it dark But here is my prayer, I step down now I won’t listen to the lies, I’m gonna listen to you now I’m gonna see myself in the light of you Cause I am yours, and that is the truth
5.
Let Me Be 03:49
Open the window pane so I can feel the rain And let the wind pour in, oh let it touch my skin Cause while all the world rush round I don’t wanna hear a sound But the rain fall down and my knees hit the ground Let me be still, let me be quiet Let me be alone, let me be silent So I can hear your voice, Yeah you leave me no choice but to listen So let all the world just stop I find myself standing on the rock Though the waves crash down, no I will not lose my place Jesus He holds me, Jesus He has me When the storm comes round, all I have to do is pray Chorus (2x)
6.
Garden 04:15
Beauty from void, dark to light Sun for the day, stars for the night For you I’ll plant a garden, fill it with light Food for your mouth and color for eyes And.. Chorus I will breathe into the dust The breath of life and all my love And when you open your eyes You will see and be satisfied Because I will be with you I will be with you, I Fall asleep, I’ll make for you a love Love like a shield, like a home, like a dove You are free, but ever enthralled And I, I will be your all And... Chorus Pick the lies right off the tree Your eyes are opened But not to see Build a tower to the sky Flap your arms You think you fly Melt your gold down to a god Sell your soul to pay for your facade Trade my love for silence I’ll give you up if you want it But... Chorus
7.
Dirt 02:29
I am like the dried up earth Wasted and waiting for the rain I can’t boss the sky ‘cause I’m just dirt But I sure am glad that the water came But I sure am glad that the water came I am like a leafless tree Dead beneath the winter’s cold I can’t make the sun shine on me But I sure am happy when he melts the snow But I sure am happy when he melts the snow I am a battle I am a war Captive to keepin’ the score I can’t shake the law, can’t shake my shame Won’t somebody come and break these chains I am a sinner born in the dark Dead like the dirt and the leafless tree There’s a war inside my heart But the blood of Jesus sets me free But the blood of Jesus sets me free Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
8.
Abel 04:12
Abel, your blood is in my mouth Abel, your blood is crying out He was angry or jealous His heart was full of hate But your blood is on your brother And it’s calling out His name Abel, betrayed in your last breath And I am full of blood and dirt and death But there is hope for you, and even for your brother yet Cause there’s a Judge and He’ll avenge all The blood of the oppressed Abel, you know another man came down Abel, you know His blood poured on the ground He was right and He was love He was buried in the dirt But He broke free and His blood still Cries out for the earth Abel you’re not the only one Cause it’s been brother against brother/ And father against son Tribe killing tribe/ Race killing race (even in God’s name) But the blood on the ground is the same in the veins Flowing through you Abel and through your brother Cain Abel one day all will be made right Abel one day your blood will stop its cry But til that day Love will fight even in God’s name To bring justice for the helpless, redemption for Cain Justice for the helpless, redemption for Cain and Abel Please don’t fight anymore, be your brother’s keeper Please don’t fight anymore, be your brother’s keeper Please don’t fight anymore, be your brother’s keeper
9.
Sing 02:50
My voice is weak my fingers slow But when I sing it’s in my soul My words are simple They’re not poetry But I will sing, I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna sing Would you be near in my song Be what they hear, you alone I’ll sing in reverence I’ll sing in fear But I will sing, I’m gonna sing, yes I will sing Yes I will sing, I’m gonna sing yeah When I get to heaven and I get my crown I’ll bend my knees and lay it down With all the angels all around I will sing, yes I will Yeah we will sing, we will all sing yeah
10.
Take the world, but give me Jesus; All its Joys are but a name, But His love abideth ever, Through eternal years the same. Take the world, but give me Jesus, Sweetest comfort of my soul; With my Savior watching o'er me, I can sing, though billows roll. Oh, the height and depth of mercy! Oh, the length and breadth of love! Oh, the fullness of redemption, Pledge of endless life above Pledge of endless life above Take the world, but give me Jesus; In His cross my trust shall be, Till, with clearer, brighter vision Face to face my Lord I see. Take the world, but please don't take Jesus
11.
Wings 03:43
There is hunger, there is war There is sickness and there are poor There are widows, there are wounds There are orphans and I’m here in my room…. God Give them wings to fly on Give them wings to fly on Give them wings to fly on Into your (my) arms Into your (my) arms Chorus In the silence there comes a word The voice of Jesus that I have heard If you love me feed my sheep Bind up the broken, love the least of these …Into my arms The arms of a Father whispering “child” Arms like a refuge when violence is wild Arms of a healer that heals their disease Arms of love, Arms of love
12.
Confession 03:54
God my Maker, the One who found me I was dead and you said “life” Your love and mercy, wrapped around me Christ the blanket, his blood the price Begging mercy I come face down I have sinned and stained your name Lesser loves wooed me, a broken vow Pride enthroned me to my shame Chorus: My plea is Christ and not my own good Hands and feet nailed to the wood Oh God have mercy on me a sinner Have mercy on me a sinner O Lord hear me, my Lord forgive And cast me not away Open my mouth and loose my lips That I may sing your praise Chorus While I in sorrow kneel The Father starts to run Bring robe and ring, shoes and meal Rejoice o’er my prodigal son
13.
Next Year 02:45
God, where am I going? Where am I going? The wind is blowin’, but I don’t know where I’m goin’ Oh I know I’m going to heaven but I don’t know what I’m doing next year Oh I got a man, I got a man And with my man, I know where I stand But me and my man we don’t know what we’re doing next year What if we had a baby, what if we had a baby Wouldn’t that be crazy, if we had a baby? But maybe just maybe we’ll have a baby next year What if I were a rock star, what if I were a rock star Let’s not go too far, but if I were a rock star I’d play on my guitar every night in the bar next year What if we moved to Texas? Back to the South? I’d put that Tex Mex in my mouth If it were up to my mouth we’d move back to the South next year We could go back to work, back to school or both, Get out a map and travel back and forth Go on home or stay right here, God please God would you make it so clear Tonight I’m singing in front of this crowd, One day I’ll be singing in heaven so loud But in between it’s very unclear, Cause we don’t know what we’re doing next year Next year, next year, next year, next year Cause we know we’re goin to heaven but we don’t know what we’re doing next year
