my mind is racing, gut is turning, I get weak inside / and I begin to question / I call you liar, call it gold, and crown myself king / and I take control
feeling weak, feeling empty / I’ve become my own enemy
my chest is pounding, hands are shaking, I begin to think / “what am I doing?” / I call you honest, call it garbage and I crown you king / and I give you control
feeling peace, feeling victory / all because you set me free

Only One Reason

save your pity for the kids with the money / ‘cause they’re feeling so empty inside / they try filling the hole, but they’re ignoring their souls / until they grow old and die / and they never did get it right
they buy everything they see in the magazines / they’ve got the biggest screens and they’re hi-def / but they missed the point of life, nothing money can buy / his name is Jesus Christ, he is it
save your breath for the kids who’ve got sex / ‘cause they are at their best when they’re clothed / they’re so preoccupied with their selfish desires / that they can’t see the fire up the road / and it’s burning down their souls
they’ve been to every site they’re little fingers can find / looking for life across the line / but it’s never enough, ‘cause we’re created for love / not this cheap knock-off that they’re trying
save your prayers for the kids in the chairs / the ones who are there on Sundays and Wednesdays / they think they’ll get by on religion just fine / but they’re running out of time to be saved / ‘cause once you’re dead it’s too late
they know the right words, and they sing the right verse / but just ‘cause it looks good, don’t make it right / you’ve gotta get right with God and surrender your heart / accept the free blood of Jesus Christ
there is only one reason, that I keep on singing / it’s ‘cause I know he’s living in me / his love is so pure, his forgiveness secure / his mercy endures my treachery

today I saw a leaf floating down the river / without a care to be seen / and I thought to myself, there’d be nothing better / than to be carried off by the stream / the water’s cold, and the current’s strong / it’d take me far away from here / from all my troubles and the people I’ve done wrong / from all my doubts, from all my fears
but the trees up on the bank / they sang me this song /an for it I must thank them / ‘cause it helped me to move on (and they sang)
dreamer, quit your dreaming / God created you a man / you’re a singer, so get to singing / you are a bigger part of his plan
today I saw a man walking through the city / with his girl by his side / and I though, that’s what I need to be happy / that will help me sleep at night / to hear her tell me that she loves me / we’d be the very best of friends / I’d wake up with her every morning / we’d be together until the end
but the people, they started singing / ‘cause they wanted me to know / and for it, I must thank them / ‘cause it helped me to let go (and they sang)
lover, he has loved you / more than any woman can / he gave up his life for you / between you and death he stands
today I saw a bird flying through the sky / and I was happy to be me / a sinner saved by grace, and waking in his light / forgiven, loved, and free

You Are God

you are God of life and death / power to give, and take breath / won’t you breathe into me / you are God of flesh and bone / creator of all we’ve known / won’t you recreate me / you are God of every man / woman, child, sea, and land / won’t you please help me see
you are God of kings and queens / all power and authority / is under your name / you are God of the hurricane / the earthquake, the fire, the rain / won’t you please keep us safe / you are God when fear and doubt / break us and all hope runs out / won’t you shine your light on us
you are God/ and I am not
you are God when all my dreams / coming crashing at my feet / won’t you give me a new vision / you are God when my little heart / suffers wound an falls apart / can you put it together again / and you are God when the ones we love / draw their last breath and leave us here / can you wipe away our tears
