The shadows on the wall they are getting to the point where I am shaking like a child again I’ve lost sight of the peace You’ve promised me Evil sometimes shades itself with flowers, sweets, and mountaintops But I’ve also seen its ugly face and sometimes it deceives me even then The stars declare the glory of the One who knows my story So I’m waiting for the nightfall to remind myself of all that You have done Hope is more than a wish It knows what it knows It knows that He wins When heads are out of the sand they ponder all the crazy And they wonder how it is that mostly evil conquers Love it barely wins You’ve known this from the very start And You remedied the desperate heart You gave up Your own glory for the helpless, searching ones who know they’re lost Hope is more than a wish It knows what it knows It knows that He wins

Take A Walk 04:07
Let’s take a walk, we don’t have to talk But we always do. Well, I always do You can hold my hand if we sit or stand Just hold it tight, even when we lay together late at night If we scream and fight and we curse the night I guess we’re both wrong, not right When I say “goodnight”, what I really mean Is “just sit here with me, til 4 am" You were the one who knew my secrets You took my hand, I let you keep it You loved me when I was just 17 And I think I’ve always loved you Let’s take a walk, we don’t have to talk But we always do. Well, I always do

Holding On 03:17
When the fire comes and the trials run I won’t come undone But keep holding on to You When the rivers rush and begin to crush I hope I don’t lose touch But keep holding on to You Holding on to You When my children grow I hope they always know Which good seeds to sow And keep holding on to You To all my friends and foes Keep their ship afloat I hope they always know To keep holding on to You Holding on to You Ever since I was a young one I recall This distant yet so clear a word to stay I’m shattered by the apathy in letting go So I’ll keep holding on to You I’ll keep holding on to You I’ll keep holding on to You I’ll keep holding on to You

Are there any left? Can you show me one without exhausted talks There is nothing left Only those who wear the masks of confidence Swimming in their shallow depth I am watching You like You’re watching me I am watching You like You’re watching me Are there any left? Can you show me one without exhausted talks There is nothing left Only those who wear the masks of confidence Swimming in their shallow depth I am watching You like You’re watching me I am watching You like You’re watching me There is nothing new under the sun People loving self and they’re always on the run From integrity and truth and justice Hope and love, eternal rest it’s only found in One We have all been there Grasping at the wind and looking for a way To pretend that He’s not there That maybe He won’t see If I lie enough to myself I may just believe Truth it makes us free but we must receive Truth it makes us free but we must receive There is nothing new under the sun People loving self and they’re always on the run From integrity and truth and justice Hope and love, eternal rest it’s only found in One Don’t put me in a box, you say I’m just not into dumb clichés But Your hashtag good vibes only, it says otherwise When will we arise from death and talk about eternal rest 'Cus it’s the biggest elephant in the room Oh it’s the biggest elephant in the room It’s the biggest elephant in the room

Falling 04:24
I think I’ve run myself into the wall These foolish games aren’t any fun at all Who is standing there with a deadpan stare A shovel in one hand, regret in the other I thought I’d dig myself a deep, deep well But it turns out now, I dug myself a grave I’m falling... but You welcome me back to the fold I’ve come a ways from where I stood Funny thing is, I’ve barely walked at all Who’s hanging there with redemption’s stare Grace in one hand, love in the other As scales they fall from these old eyes I’ve come to find You were always on my side I’m falling... but You welcome me back to the fold I’m falling... but You welcome me back to the fold I’ll follow You 'til You bring me home I’ll follow You 'til You bring me home I’ll follow You 'til You bring me home I’m falling... but You welcome me back to the fold

Two Trees 04:51
I still remember your eyes looking tired I still remember you wanting to tell me everything Two trees Two trees Two trees I still remember my eyes feeling tired I still remember the quiet place in the trees I still remember wanting to tell you everything Two trees Two trees Two trees Two trees Two trees Two trees I still remember I still remember I still remember

Timeline 03:42
I am looking at my timeline And you know I feel fine 'Cus you’re on most the marks 12 years, baby it’s been 12 years And you know we missed the turn for the easy road Homesick when I’m not with you Way before the “I do’s”, I do remember you Boy, your face keeps getting warmer Your eyes are looking older but still they’re looking at me Hours, all of the hours, they are ours I’m glad you’re stuck with me I am looking at my timeline And you know I feel fine 'Cus you’re on most the marks

I’m standing on the mountain top I am descending Just like a boulder I am rolling down, down, down I can hear an old friend He is calling me This friend is dear and dark It’s my friend the valley Through the fire I burn, burn, burn There is pain in every limb But there is love, love Flowing through every vein I’m standing on the mountain top I am descending Just like a boulder I am rolling down, down, down I can hear an old friend He is calling me This friend is dear and dark It’s my friend the valley Through the fire I burn, burn, burn There is pain in every limb But there is love, love Flowing through every vein Through the fire I burn, burn, burn There is pain in every limb But there is love, love Flowing through every vein Oh…

It’s cold outside I can’t hear a sound Just the black of darkness the smell of the night And I’m all alone again with the sound of my thoughts It’s cold outside I can’t see your face Just the sound of the gravel under your shoes And I’m all alone again with the sound of my thoughts I, I’m cold tonight So, why won’t I just open the door It’s cold outside it all seems still But the screams of my pride are ringing inside And I’m all alone again with the sound of my thoughts I, I’m cold tonight So, why won’t I just open the door It’s cold outside I see you standing alone In the front yard as I open the door I can’t be alone with the sound of my thoughts anymore
10.
I don’t belong here, how about You I don’t belong here, how about You Just like the flowers we’re all going fall Just like the grass we’ll all fade away Pilgrim sight, oh I’ve got pilgrim sight On this road that we call life I’ll travel far, travel light 'Cus I’ve got, pilgrim sight All of the answers are right there in His hands All of the sorrows will stay here in this land Pilgrim sight, oh I’ve got pilgrim sight On this road that we call life I’ll travel far, travel light 'Cus I’ve got, pilgrim sight On this road that we call life, I’ll travel far Travel light, oh I’ve got pilgrim sight

Are you aware that the look in your stare It still stops me, it stops me Didn’t you know, wherever you go I will follow you I’ll follow you Are you aware that the look in your stare It still stops me, it stops me Didn’t you know, wherever you go I will follow you, I’ll follow you I’ve been so tired, even lost my way I’m glad my home is with you I’ve been so tired, even lost my way I’m glad my home is with you We’ve spent many days stuck in our graves But we helped each other climb out of them Let’s walk in the sun as though we’ve begun And keep pressing on to the finish line I’ve been so tired, even lost my way I’m glad my home is with you I’ve been so tired, even lost my way I’m glad my home is with you This little life has opened my eyes That all my plans just don’t compare In deserts or hills, you’d be loving me still But I’m sure glad we’re planted here Are you aware that the look in your stare It still stops me, it stops me And didn’t you know wherever you go I will follow you, I’ll follow you
