Between the Battles
02:15
|
|||
|
Perhaps it's best I leave
Give you some time to grieve
Space to sort it out
Things to think about
You probably don't need me
Chorus:
Between the battles that you fight
Shift between darkness and the light
There's only one name that you ever need to call
Shake it off again
You could use a win
You keep falling down
Tarnishing your crown
I hope you've got a plan

You Will Carry Me
03:11
|
|||
|
When my strength is failing
When I've lost my way
When the light is fading
At the end of day
Chorus:
I know you will carry me
Through the storm across the sea
When it seems hope has died
The empty grave says You're alive
When I've done all I can
When I'm on my knees
When I can't see Your plan
You will comfort me
Bridge:
You will carry me
You will lift me up
When my hope is gone
You are still enough
When my strength has left
When I've lost the way
I know You are near
You have won the day

Don't You Worry
01:43
|
|||
|
When you wake in the morning
With the sun in it's place
Don't you fret, don't you worry
You will soon see my face
I'll be counting down the hours
Until I can come back home
Don't you worry now my child
Cuz I'm never far to roam
When you sleep in the night time
With the sun sinking low
Close your eyes, don't you worry
Know that I love you so
I'll be waiting in the morning
Just to hear you call my name
Don't you worry now my child
My love remains the same
I'll be counting down the hours
Until I can come back home
Don't you worry now my child
Cuz I'm never far to roam

In the Rising Tide
03:10
|
|||
|
When you're tired
And you cannot go on
When you need someone
That you can lean upon
When the road ahead
Seems far too long
Just call on me, Babe
I will help you be strong
Chorus:
You will find me
Right by your side
Holding your hand
In the rising tide
No, I won't leave you
When the waters rise
Just keep holding tightly
And look into my eyes
When it's 3 in the morning
And the fear rushes in
When the truth can't be heard
Above yesterday's sin
When the lies all surround you
And the pain becomes sharp
I will be right beside you
Holding your heart

Cold North Wind
03:37
|
|||
|
The wind is blowing and the lake has froze
The ice is forming around my fingers and toes
But I'll be safe, Dear, as long as you are close
No sense in leaving as long as the north wind blows
Chorus:
It's gonna be a long hard winter up here buried in the snow
And that cold north wind blows wherever it wants to go
But you and I won't fret
Cuz there's one thing that we know
Whatever comes our way we've got each other to hold
The fire is dying and our food is low
The wind is biting at our little home
But you have me dear to keep you safe and warm
I will be right here holding you through the storm

But Not Our Love
00:17
|
|||
|
Everything will fade
But not our love
|

Your Grace Goes Farther
03:29
|
|||
|
We are tired, we are poor
We are broken before You, Lord
We are hungry and desperate
Draw us in, Lord, lest we forget
Chorus:
That Your grace goes farther
Your love goes deeper
Your heart, Dear Father, is for the seeker
Your hands still hold us
Your eyes are on us
Your care, Dear Father, still reminds us
That you won't let us fall away from You
You are loving, You are kind
You rescued us, Lord, when we were blind
You are faithful, You are strong
Draw us to you when we are wrong

Curmudgeon
02:31
|
|||
|
Late at night I wonder
What is going on
Sound of distant thunder
Or a party going on
Who needs all this racket
What's with kids these days
Probably up to no good
Tripped out druggie haze
Chorus:
Bet that I'll be first to call the cops
Wait until the other shoe drops
Maybe I'm getting older
Maybe I just don't care
Maybe it's not my problem
Off my lawn, cut your hair
|

Hear Me Out
01:56
|
|||
|
Wait! Don't go away
I've got something for you
Even if it's late
Stop! Turn around
You may think it's lost
But I know where it's found
Chorus:
Honey, won't you hear me out
Baby, there's no need to shout
Tell me what you're mad about
And we can think it through
Stop! and take a breath
It is late so maybe
We should take a rest
|

You Count the Stars
02:52
|
|||
|
Dust to dust we will all fade away
Pass we must through the Judgement Day
Chorus:
You count the stars
You know them by name
What is a man
That you care for him?
All of our days like a shadow will pass
Wither and fade like a lone, blade of grass
|

When You Wake
03:10
|
|||
|
When you wake in the night
With a monster at your side
Call on me and I'll be there
If the sun doesn't rise
And lightning fills the sky
Call on me and I'll be there
Chorus:
I'll be there to hold you close
Be it monster, fiend, or ghost
I'll be standing by your side
Ready to fight
When the moon rises high
And thunder shakes the night
Call on my and I'll be there
When you feel all alone
And you've wandered far from home
Call on me and I'll be there
|
||||
12. |
||||
|
It's a new day
Though the past ain't far behind
We'll make our own way
You are always on my mind
Chorus:
Nothing's gonna keep me from loving you
Nothing's gonna hold me back
Hold on to the love I've been giving you
Baby, there ain't nothing we lack
We've come a long way
Some might say there's nothing left
Babe, I must say
I'll love you til my final breath
|
||||
13. |
Snow Day
03:26
|
|||
|
When the sun bounces right off the show
And you've got no where to go
Won't you bundle up, come play with me
It's the only place you ought to be
Chorus:
Snow is falling fast
Snow day comes at last
We could pile it up in one place
Snowballs packed to protect our home base
Build the walls up as high as they'll go
Don't you love playing out in the snow
Or maybe we'll build a snowman
Just as big and tall as we can
If we build him straight up to the sky
They can't knock him down if they try
|

Warrior
03:21
|
|||
|
When the battle rages all around
When the enemy is near
When it seems that hope cannot be found
When our hearts are ruled by fear
That's when Your salvation comes
Chorus:
Our Lord is a warrior
Yes, He is a mighty conqueror
He's the Lion of Judah
He's our strength and song
The Lord is a warrior
When the enemy has hemmed us in
When there's darkness over us
When our hearts are overwhelmed by sin
When there's no one we can trust
That's when Your salvation comes
