Pleasant Places

I'll stop writing honest songs
Instead I'll write what I wish I believed
What I wish overflowed from me
I'm sick of these old grooves
I'm sick of these old ruts
I'm sick of all the traps my mind gets caught up in
You have given me enough
And Lord, I owe You gratitude
Oh
I want to choose virtue
If only it were easy
If only it came naturally
I'll focus on the things I have
Instead of all the things I want
Instead of any fleeting fantasy
You have given me enough
And Lord, I owe You gratitude
Oh
I'm blessed more than I deserve
The boundary lines have fallen for me
In pleasant places
Ooo
I'll follow thankfulness around
Until it leads me to a place
Where I'm content
A place where I'm at peace
I'll sing these words till they take root
I'll sing these words till they
Sink deep down in my soul
Till they transform my heart
You have given me enough
And Lord, I owe You gratitude
Oh
I'm blessed more than I deserve
The boundary lines have fallen for me
In pleasant places

As the seasons stumble along
I'll wait, I'll wait for You
As the snow falls gently below
I'll wait, I'll wait for You
As the pieces fall into place
I'll look, I'll look to You
As my beating heart starts to race
I'll look, I'll look to You
No matter what may come
I know You and You'll come through
Just like You always do
No matter what's ahead
I know one thing's always true
That You will still be You
When the road gets foggy ahead
I'll trust, I'll trust in You
When I can't make out what You said
I'll trust, I'll trust in You
No matter what may come
I know You and You'll come through
Just like You always do
No matter what's ahead
I know one thing's always true
That You will still be You
As I take the path I'm scared to take
My hope, my hope's in You
As my voice cracks, as my fingers shake
My hope, my hope's in You
No matter what may come
I know You and You'll come through
Just like You always do
No matter what's ahead
I know one thing's always true
That You will still be You
And no matter what may come
I know You and You'll come through
Just like You always do
And no matter what's ahead
I know one thing's always true
That You will still be You
As I take the path I'm scared to take
My hope, my hope's in You
As my voice cracks, as my fingers shake
My hope, my hope's in You

Honesty
04:36
|
|||
You didn't take on flesh
And walk in our suffering
So that I could slap a smile on my face
You didn't give Your Spirit
To live inside of me
So that I could be just like everyone else
And honestly
There are some things that are hard to see
But You draw near to every part of me
And honesty
Is an intimacy
That You and me
Will experience for eternity
You came to earth in
Vulnerability
Nothing like the sons of empires we see
You revealed Yourself in
Apparent obscurity
You chose to live a life of humble means
And honestly
There are some things that are hard to see
But You draw to near to every part of me
And honesty
Is an intimacy
That You and me
Will experience for eternity
You walked a mile in my shoes
So that I am never alone
You're a man of sorrows
Well so am I
To follow You doesn't mean
We're happy all the time
And honestly
There are some things that are hard to see
But You draw near to every part of me
And honesty
Is an intimacy
That You and me
Will experience for eternity
And honestly
I'm weaker than I appear to be
But I am free
To be needy and to
Lean into humility and honesty
You were human just like me
You walk with me
In empathy
You walked a mile in my shoes
So that I am never alone

Joy
03:22
|
|||
How many days have I felt this way and
How many nights have I prayed
I am trying to shake this
Trying to change my bad mood
I'm trying to shake my bad attitude
This feeling's just a feeling
It's not my everything
This feeling's just a feeling
It doesn't define me
There is joy
Joy to be found in You
Joy
That Your promises are true
So take courage, my soul
Reach out and grab hold
There is joy
There is joy in the Lord
How many ways have I tried to cheer up and
How many times have I failed
What's the point in pretending
I can be fine without You
When You and I both know
That's not true
This feeling's just a feeling
It's not my everything
This feeling's just a feeling
It doesn't define me
There is joy
Joy to be found in You
Joy
That Your promises are true
So take courage, my soul
Reach out and grab hold
There is joy
There is joy in the Lord
There is joy
There is joy in the Lord
I'm irritated by everything today
And I'm frustrated by the roadblocks in my way
I feel like I should feel different than I feel
Oh Lord, Your Spirit alone can heal
And bring
Joy
Joy
Oh
There is joy
Joy to be found in You
Joy
That Your promises are true
So take courage, my soul
Reach out and grab hold
There is joy
There is joy in the Lord
Oh, Joy
Joy in You
Joy
For who You are and what You do
You always do more
And You're my reward
There is joy
There is joy in the Lord
There is joy
There is joy in the Lord
There is joy
There is joy in the Lord

Breathe In
04:32
|

I think I'm new to feeling like this
I think I'm lost in this new space in time
Everybody's out there saying in a little while
In a while, in a while
We'll be just fine
I've never felt this kind of loneliness
Never been so isolated for this long
Sometimes I wonder if normal will come back
'Cause right now, right now
It all feels wrong
I'll just breathe in
Do one thing at a time
I can't see all that heartbreak
And turn on a dime
When I'm breathin'
For a moment I'm fine
I'll take in a deep breath
While the world passes by
I'll take in a deep breath
Do one thing at a time
Maybe I'm just not that tough
Maybe I'm not strong enough for what's ahead
Maybe everybody's got it all figured out
And it's me, it's just me
Who can't take the next step
Maybe I'm the only one who got stuck in my head
I'll just breathe in
Do one thing at a time
I can't see all the heartbreak
And turn on a dime
When I'm breathin'
For a moment I'm fine
I'll take in a deep breath
While the world passes by
I'll take in a deep breath
Do one thing at a time
I think I'll turn off the news
I think I'll tune out the noise
I think I'll wrap myself up in a cocoon
For a little while
Just a little while
Breathe in
Do one thing at a time
I can't see all that heartbreak
And turn on a dime
When I'm breathin'
For a moment I'm fine
I'll take in a deep breath
While the world passes by, oh
Breathe in
Do one thing at a time
I can't see all that heartbreak
And turn on a dime
When I'm breathin'
For a moment I'm fine
I'll take in a deep breath
While the world passes by
I'll take in a deep breath
Do one thing at a time

Fascinated by You
04:12
|
|||
Everyday the wind blows only by Your bidding
The light of the sun only shines by Your command
Not a speck of dust
Can exist apart from Your will
I have magnified what's wrong with the world
Instead of glorifying the One who'll make it right
In that way I've failed to be
Fascinated by You
Fascinated by You
When my eye's on eternity
I'm captivated by You
Captivated by You
You didn't put me on on this earth to fix it
You didn't bring me here to be the savior
But I can love and serve
I can listen and be kind
I have magnified what's wrong with the world
Instead of glorifying the One who'll make it right
In that way I've failed to be
Fascinated by You
Fascinated by You
When my eye's on eternity
I'm captivated by You
Captivated by You
God is sovereign over comfort
God is sovereign over calamity
God is sovereign over poverty
God is sovereign over prosperity
I have magnified what's wrong with the world
Instead of glorifying the One who'll make it right
In that way, I've failed to be
Fascinated by You
Fascinated by You
When my eye's on eternity
I'm captivated by You
Captivated by You
Though the world's not as it should be
I'm fascinated by You
Fascinated by You

Stone Tablets
05:02
|
|||
There's something about ambiguity
There's tension that's hard to ignore
There's something about uncertainty
That shakes my faith to its core
Sometimes the freedom to make your own choice
Feels like a trick or a trap
I'm too afraid that the road I pick
Will prove to be one I regret
I regret
And I know that Your Spirit
Is writing Your Word on my heart
And I know that You've promised
You're with me wherever I go
But there's something about these stone tablets
I'm always finding my home there
When I'm out of my senses I grasp for consensus
To prove that I'm not all alone
When I've lost my bearings I find myself caring
About who does and doesn't agree
I hear in my mind as I take steps of faith
All the jeers that I've called out before
If the measure you judge is the measure you're judged
I shudder to reap what I've sown
What I've sown
And I know that Your Spirit
Is writing Your Word on my heart
And I know that You've promised
You're with me wherever I go
But there's something about these stone tablets
I'm always finding my home there
Longing and aching for home there
Forcing all my friends to go there
Oh, why does it take so much courage to be who You made me to be
Why is it so much easier to blend in with my surroundings
Oh, why does it take so much courage to be who You made me to be
Why does it come so naturally to be who they want me to be
Whoever they think I should be
Whatever you need me to be
When somebody questions my judgment or thoughts
All I can hear is a statement
Maybe they're growing, and growing me too
'Cause who wants to be complacent
But there's something about these stone tablets
I'm always finding my home there
Longing and aching for home there

When I'm breathin'
For a moment I'm fine
I'll take in a deep breath
While the world passes by
I'll take in a deep breath
Do one thing at a time
