You Won't Ever Abandon Me 04:01

I'm trying to find you but you hid your face I'm crying out into an empty space Am I lying to myself in this way I need your help, Lord, I need your grace I've never been here before I feel like I've opened a strange new door My feet are in search of something steady I should move on but I'm not ready You won't ever abandon me You won't ever abandon me I could climb up a mountain to the tallest tree And you won't ever abandon me I'm feeling scared but I won't admit it I'm unprepared and overcommitted Authentic but I'm also pretending I'm hoping these endings will birth new beginnings You won't ever abandon me You won't ever abandon me I could dive in the ocean to the deepest sea And you won't ever abandon me No, you won't ever abandon me I cry to you I lift my voice I cry to you Hear and have mercy on me I'm trying to find you but you hid your face I'm crying out into an empty space Am I lying to myself in this way I need your help, Lord, I need your grace, oh You won't ever abandon me You won't ever abandon me I could climb up a mountain to the tallest tree And you won't ever abandon me, no You won't ever abandon me You won't ever abandon me I could dive in the ocean to the deepest sea And you won't ever abandon me, no You won't ever abandon me, no You won't ever abandon me

Life Is Stronger 04:43
lyrics

What will be the final score When all is said and done When the darkness closes in Will the light Will light overcome What are we waiting for A hero to come our way A strong-armed helping hand A shiny knight To swoop and save the day Life is stronger than death Love is stronger than fear Hope is stronger than despair Life is stronger, stronger Let not the peacemakers Be also filled with war Let not our love grow cold Let it grow Grow more and more How blessed are the meek How blessed are the poor There may be times of joy but Blessed are you Blessed are you who mourn Life is stronger than death Love is stronger than fear Hope is stronger than despair Life is stronger, stronger Hold on longer for life Hold on longer in love Hold out longer for hope Life is stronger, stronger Stronger, stronger Stronger, stronger Oooo Seedlings poke through fields of dirt Signs of cells that replicate Former wounds no longer hurt The rising sun marks another day Clouds flee the clear blue sky A choir of songbirds sing Everywhere are signs of life Cuz life is a stubborn little thing Life is stronger than death Love is stronger than fear Hope is stronger than despair Life is stronger, stronger Hold on longer for life Hold on longer in love Hold out longer for hope Life is stronger, stronger Stronger, stronger Stronger, stronger Oooo

Hard Time 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Long days and longer years Filled with regret a time or two I face the corner to wipe away my tears It's just a thing I learned to do Maybe we can still be friends Meet up for coffee in a month You know the story and how it always ends Neither one of us will follow up I had a hard time sleeping For six or seven weeks, it was a Hard time weeping over you And every dollar I spend Crying in therapy tells of the Hard times, hard times you put me through It was a hard time when I was with you Juliet to your Romeo Bonnie to your Clyde But I felt more like France to your Napoleon You wanna conquer and I don't get why I had a hard time sleeping For six or seven weeks, it was a Hard time weeping over you And every dollar I spend Crying in therapy tells of the Hard times, hard times you put me through It was a hard time when I was with you Go on try and change the narrative Telling everyone I've gone insane I don't really care how you tell the story I'm just glad I got away I had a hard time sleeping For six or seven weeks, it was a Hard time weeping over you And every dollar I spend Crying in therapy Tells of the hard times, hard times you put me through It was a hard time leaving Though I'm glad I did, I spent a Long time clinging onto you And every day I spend hoping away All those hard times, hard times you put me through I had a hard time Getting over you But it was a harder time When I was with you

Can I Just Be Weak 03:40
lyrics

It might seem like I don't care I'm here for you but not always there It's true we've all got our own loads to bear And sometimes that can feel unfair Oooo I wish that life was fair Can I just be weak for a little while What if I'm scared from time to time You know I won't always be right But I need to know that that's okay sometimes I promise I'll get strong again I don't know how and I don't know when Can I just, can I just be weak I can't do what you think I can I'd like to run but still I stand What I'm trying to say is I'm just human And just how strong do you think I am Oh, just how strong do you think I am Can I just be weak for a little while What if I'm scared from time to time You know I won't always be right But I need to know that that's okay sometimes I promise I'll get strong again I don't know how and I don't know when Can I just, can I just be weak I'm trying to run on broken feet but I can't keep up My spirit's begging please, oh please I've had enough Can I just be weak for a little while Can we forego the fake smiles Can we leave the small talk behind And can I get some time to get my head right I won't always feel this way You might not know what to say Can I just, oh won't you let me be weak for a little while What if I'm scared from time to time You know I won't always be right But I need to know that that's okay sometimes I promise I'll get strong again I don't know how and I don't know when Can I just, won't you let me, oh Can I just be weak

People Change 04:43
lyrics
buy track
I've grown tired of changing Must we always change But emotions are tricky And fingers get clingy Somehow life still goes on And I know it takes time We're just reading line by line Doesn't that drive you insane And I try to remember A time when it was better But it's always been hard when people change I find you fighting your instincts You find me biting my tongue Our connection is shifting Organic and living These types of things bend and pull And I know it takes time We're just reading line by line Doesn't that drive you insane And I try to remember A time when it was better But it's always been hard when people change Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Aaaaaa Don't hold on to what you shouldn't Don't move on to something worse Well we've all got our bruises And things that confuse us We're all finding our way And I know it takes time We're just reading line by line Doesn't that drive you insane And I try to remember A time when it was better But it's always been hard when people change Oh and darling it takes time We're just reading line by line Wish we could spare ourselves some pain But that pain makes us tender More compassionate and better Still it's so hard when people change No it's never not hard when people change Ooo it's always hard to know that people change

Serenity 05:41
lyrics

I hear a gentle breeze Outside my window I watch the leaves blow in the wind I feel the chair beneath me As the time slows Fully present where I am A million thoughts travel In all directions Each moment is a famine or a feast I breathe in and out A gentle correction It helps me set my mind at ease God give me serenity To accept what I can't change And God give me the bravery To change the things I can Oh, God give me serenity The world is what it is I don't always like it I know You also felt this pain I am just a person With limitations Help me to know that that's okay God give me serenity To accept what I can't change And God give me the bravery To change the things I can Oh, God give me serenity I am just a person With limitations Help me to know that that's okay God give me serenity To accept what I can't change And God give me the bravery To change the things I can Oh and God give me sobriety Keep me humbly in my place And God give me serenity Serenity and grace Oh God give me serenity God give me serenity

Where To Go 03:58
lyrics

I'm scanning for life in this wilderness I'm squinting my eyes in the dark I kept my composure for so many years I knew all my lines, played my part I'm out here alone in the thick of it At least it feels that way A friend would be calming But also alarming I'd hate if they're lost in this place Oh the friendly persuasions And slight rearrangements Your PR just feels like a show But I want the real thing Your facade is not appealing And I don't know where I should go I'm clinging to Jesus with all I am I've got the white knuckles to prove I never came out here to run from my faith My faith was what caused me to move Oh the friendly persuasions And slight rearrangements Your PR just feels like a show But I want the real thing Your facade is not appealing And I don't know where I should go I don't know where to go to get back home I'm stumbling along with no GPS Feeling my way as I go I never asked for any of this And I wish I just knew where to go I'm scanning for life in this wilderness I'm squinting my eyes in the dark Oh the friendly persuasions And slight rearrangements Your PR just feels like a show But I want the real thing Your facade is not appealing And I don't know where I should go No, I don't know where I should go I wish I just knew where to go

We're Gonna Be Alright 04:40

Just like the sparrow's eggs Tucked in my flower pot Tended by faithful birds In a protected spot We have found refuge in Wings of a greater might Oh and we're gonna be alright Just like a toddler boy Waking up in the night Rushing to Daddy's bed Turning on every light We have a Father too And we're precious in His sight Oh and we're gonna be alright We're gonna be alright Even if we don't fight We can in silent strength be still We're gonna be alright No matter the depth or the height Oh and we're gonna be We're gonna be alright I'm always finding webs Spun by my spider friend I always tear them down But she builds them up again I see her persevere I see her zest for life And I know that she's gonna be alright We're gonna be alright Even if we don't fight We can in silent strength be still We're gonna be alright No matter the depth or the height Oh and we're gonna be We're gonna be alright Oh and we're gonna be We're gonna be alright We've been through this before In some shape or form We've seen the answered prayers Of some we were unaware We're gonna make it through Oh you know it's true That we're gonna be We're gonna be alright We're gonna be alright Even if we don't fight We can in silent strength be still We're gonna be alright No matter the depth or the height Oh and we're gonna be We're gonna be alright Oh and we're gonna be We're gonna be alright

I Know Better 04:29

Now that I don't feel sick to my stomach I am finally getting well Give me one good reason to give it another try That's what I thought, that's what I thought Now you're asking me to come back 'round again Just as soon as I left town Can you tell me how it's any different That's what I thought, that's what I thought I'm not a pig, one that goes back again to roll 'round in the mud I know better than that I'm not a dog, I'm not a dog returning to its vomit I know better than that I hear the doorbell, it's the snake oil man And I'm not feeling too polite I turn the porch light off while I look him in the eye Sir, not tonight, no, not tonight I'm not a pig, one that goes back again to roll 'round in the mud I know better than that I'm not a dog, I'm not a dog returning to its vomit I know better than that I know better, better than that Now I know better than that I've learned my lesson, I have learned my lesson I'm not going back, I'm not going back I'm not a pig, one that goes back again to roll 'round in the mud I know better than that I'm not a dog, I'm not a dog returning to its vomit I know better than that It might have worked back when I was young and dumb and desperate But now I'm old and wise and mad I've learned my lesson and I don't have to be like that anymore Cause I've learned better than that Hey, I know better than that I know better than that

Hiding Place 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Where you are is where I want to be What your eyes behold is what I want to see I want to hear your voice with my own ears I'll run to you away from all my fears Where the night shines like the day And the darkness cannot hide you away Oh, to see you face to face You are my hiding place I've been to hell and back again this year One thing that I noticed: I'm still here Everything I was afraid of came to pass Yet when I look ahead, I see a light to my path Where the night shines like the day And the darkness cannot hide you away Oh, to see you face to face You are my hiding place You are the voice that calms the sea Just say the word, Lord, and please calm me Oh, you're the God who sees And you see me This world's not as it ought to be A principle I find bewildering Yet I see a beacon of hope shining A light in the land of the living Where the night shines like the day And the darkness cannot hide away Oh, to see you face to face You are my hiding place You are my hiding place
