I Know That You Care

I Won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane TALKING, Chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions or popularity. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, live by prayer, and labor by power.

 
 

Lately

Lately, been thinking, won’t be so hard again this year.
praying, laying, won’t be so hard again this year.
cause I’m so in love with you, I’m so in love with you.
Say it again. Cause I’m so in love with you
I’m so in love with you. Say it again.

 

 
 

Healing Pain

We’ve come a long way this year, you and I my dear,
we’ve seen things we shouldn’t have seen,
so we stop and we scream, oh well, goodbye,
we’re going to make it, you and I, farewell those lies,
we’re going to make it through tonight,
I’m going to pick you up when you fall down
and you’ll do the same for me,
I’m going to pull you out before you drown
and you’ll do the same for me. It’s a wonder why we are here,
when we are lost, you’re near,
He’s going to take away the fear,
of a life double mirrored.
Oh well, goodbye, we’re going to make it, you and I,
farewell those lies, were going to make through tonight.
I’m going to pick you up when you fall down
and you’ll do the same for me,
I’m going to pull you out before you drown
and you’ll do the same for me.

We Are All Guilty of Pleasure

I’m resting in your arms, you won’t give up now,
I’m destined for your charm, it’s filled forever.
It’s been such a long time, since I heard your whisper,
It’s felt like a long crime, I’m guilty for pleasure.
so what now? so what now?
when we stop to recognize our past and failures
it opens up our eyes and we see it in others
It’s been such a long time, since I heard your whisper,
it’s felt like a long crime, I’m guilty for pleasure.
so what now? so what now?
But you say it’s not in your head,
not in your head right now.
But you say it’s not in your head,
not in your head right now.

 
 

On My Own

And I’m going nowhere to feel your heartbeat
and I’m trying so hard to pick them off there feet.
I’m feeling this way, I can’t hold you tonight
I’m feeling this way, I can’t hold you tonight
I’ve got to get back on my own and I lost it all for you,
going somewhere, prayers lifted up in this room
and so you’ll say, you’re better off that way,
and so you’ll say, your better off that way
on my own.
So it’s going somewhere and I’ll feel their heartbeats
and I was trying so hard to pick them off there feet.
I’m feeling this way, I can’t hold you tonight
I’m feeling this way, I can’t hold you tonight
I’ve got to get back on my own and I lost it all for you,
going somewhere, prayers lifted up in this room
and so you’ll say, you’re better off that way,
and so you’ll say, your better off that way
on my own.

 
 

The Past Disarms Us

You’ve given me everything, it’s clear,
you give me my hopes, my dreams and fears.
what would You do if He was around,
what would I say if He came down?
I know I would get so awkward,
these feelings you helped me conquer again.
For now, don’t you let it go,
hanging onto things you’ll never know,
for now, don’t you let it go! Away from you now!
I’ve seen this happen to all of my peers
the pain of their life destroying their years.
what would they do if You were around,
what would they say if You came down?
I know I would get so awkward,
these feelings You helped me conquer again.
For now don’t you let it go,
hanging onto things you’ll never know,
for know don’t you let it go! Away from you now!
away from you now!
away from you now!
away from you now!
