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

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

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
