Beautiful You
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
What I need is more than chords, more than beautiful notes
What I need is more than a dream, more than a beautiful voice to sing
What I need is something more
Beautiful chords, beautiful notes,
Beautiful dreams, and a beautiful voice
Just won’t fill me anymore
Beautiful You
Is what I’m really looking for
Tonight is a Gift
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
Tonight let’s dance
To celebrate our legs
And this hour and this breathe
And all that has been given us
Let’s sing a song
For all who cannot sing along
Tonight is a gift
Let’s send a prayer up this night
And thank God for our lives
Tonight is a gift from Him
So hug the one you love most
Love the One who made you both
Tonight is a gift from Him
Let’s toast to taste
And lips and tongues and to the One
Who gave us smiles
Let’s give one back it’s been a while
And cheer yeah for words
And every sweet thing that we’ve heard
Tonight is a gift
Let’s send a prayer up this night
And thank God for our lives
Tonight is a gift from Him
So hug the one you love most
Love the One who made you both
Tonight is a gift from Him
The Steal
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
Another day
Another chance for you to say
All that’s on your mind
You’ve tried so many times
I’ll take a chance and lend
My ear unto the still
Maybe once I’ll hear
The things that You hold dear
Tonight I want you to interrupt
The time I hold so tight
You’re free to take the best of me
You’re free to steal my ear
Once again I come
Tired from the run
Of chasing lies instead
Of things that you have said
If you’ll take one more chance
I’ll gladly have this dance
Whisper in my ear
The things that You hold dear
Tonight I want you to interrupt
The time I hold so tight
You’re free to take the best of me
You’re free to steal my ear
The steal…
So take a chance and lend
Your ear unto the still
Rest
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
It’s who you are
It’s who you are that keeps me going
Who you are that puts the life into my day
Love like yours
It’s love like yours that pierces darkness
It’s love like yours that softens hardened hearts
I wanna rest in your arms
I wanna know the peace that calms the storms
I wanna peer into your eyes
I wanna know that heart that touches mine
I tried to find
I tried to find my heartbeat elsewhere
All I found is that I belong here
I wanna rest in your arms
I wanna know the peace that calms the storms
I wanna peer into your eyes
I wanna know that heart that touches mine
Rest in Me
Hey Baby
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
Tonight - I am dreaming of the night
When I can hold you in my arms
That will be a perfect night
Up in heaven where our match was made
They are telling us to wait…
Tonight - And I don’t even know you’re name
Still I’m dreaming all the same
‘Cause I know we’ll have our day
Up in heaven where our match was made
They are telling us to wait tonight…
Hey baby - Just know you’re in my prayers
Hey baby - I’m saving this heart for yours
Tonight - I am looking at the stars
And I’m wondering where you are
Girl I hope that you're not far
Up in heaven where our match was made
They are telling us to wait tonight…
Hey baby - Just know you’re in my prayers
Hey baby - I’m saving this heart for yours
At the Cross
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
At the cross, at the cross
Where the price of sin was paid
The Son of God held nothing back
As He took all of our shame
At the cross, at the cross
Naked and betrayed
Bloody from the whips and thorns
That ripped His flesh away
Jesus - Thank You for the cross
Jesus - Your death gives us true life
At the cross, at the cross
Where true love showed its depths
The wrath of God was satisfied
As He paid for all our debts
At the cross, at the cross
There is no other place
To strip away sin's guilt and power
And receive life-giving grace
Jesus - Thank You for the cross
Jesus - Your death gives us true life
California
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
Santa Monica it’s 9 AM
The California sun is wearing me thin
I could sing into the night of your fame
Oh I will sing, but where should I begin
California dreams of California sales
Bring all your daughters to this California world
California dreams of California sales
Everybody loves those carefree, California girls
Santa Monica it’s me again
I can’t get rid of this California tan
I’ll have another drink and listen to the band
I’ll have another drink and sing, while I still can
California dreams of California sales
Bring all your daughters to this California world
California dreams of California sales
Everybody loves those carefree, California girls
California’s on my mind
She has this way of getting inside
And though I’ve never seen her shores
They’re beautiful I’m sure
Don't Give Up
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
It’s on all the news
It’s the talk of the town
And everyone knows but you
Your man’s been running around
Sorry to raise the alarm
But someday it had to sound
Don’t give up on love, my friend
It won’t always end this way
Don’t give up on love, my dear
Cause love has its way of coming around
You fell for his charm
As you fled from your fears
Right into his arms
It all seemed so clear
Like a sign from up above
But now you’re drowning in all your tears
Don’t give up on love, my friend
It won’t always end this way
Don’t give up on love, my dear
Cause love has its way of coming around
Coming around… it’s coming around
The Friend We All Wish We Had
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
It’s safe to say that you’re having a rough day
It’s safe to say that things aren’t going your way
And your way is harder than you ever thought
And your way is longer than you care to walk
So I say, let me get in your way
Ohhh let me let me get in your way
I say, let me get in your way
Cause we all have those times when we’re falling down
And we need someone to call… yeah yeah
I won’t let you fall too far
I won’t let things get too bad
‘Cause I’m all you have
I won’t let you fall too far
I won’t let things get too bad
‘Cause I’m all you have
This time you’re finding it hard to bear
This time you’re looking for strength but it’s just not there
And this time it’s harder than you ever thought
And this time it’s longer than you care to walk
So I say, let me get in your way
Ohhh let me let me get in your way
I say, let me get in your way
Cause we all have those times when we’re falling down
And we need someone to call… yeah yeah
I won’t let you fall too far
I won’t let things get too bad
‘Cause (When) I’m all you have
I won’t let you fall too far
I won’t let things get too bad
‘Cause I’m all you have
Haunting
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
I have chased a thousand dreams
Won and lost the hearts of queens
Tried to lose Your grip in a childish fit
But still You’re haunting me
I put my bravest gameface on
Found it false before too long
Fell asleep to all I didn’t want to see
But still You’re haunting me
So I turn to walk away
To ignore myself say
That You want my heart but I give You my back
But still You’re haunting me
Whoa… And still You’re haunting me
You won’t give up
Why won’t You give up?
Cause I’m tired of running
I’m tired of running
I’m tired of running
I’m tired of running
I’m so tired of running from You
I’m so tired
I’m so tired of running from You
I’m so tired of running from You
I am ready to run to You
To You
Home
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
I’ll dance in the halls of heaven
And take it slow up there
In the arms of the sweetest hero
I’ll find my home up there
But for now I’m living off a taste
Of all that is to come
I’m living off a glimpse
Off all that’s to be seen
I’ll stand on the streets of glory
And cry aloud your praise
Overwhelmed by the grace shown to me
I’ll cry aloud your praise
But for now I’m living off a taste
Of all that’s to be seen
I’m living off a glimpse
Off all that’s to be seen
But oh the joy of things
I have already seen
And oh, the goodness of
The things I’ve tasted of
But for now I’ve only had a taste
Of all that is to come
I’ve only had a glimpse
Of all that’s to be seen
Sadness Bleeds
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
You told me to come and You would give me rest
I can’t figure out why I haven’t done that yet
Sadness bleeds all throughout my chest
I find a new burden with every single breath
Come, come to Me
I’ve spent too much time away from You
Trying to find life, but I never really do
Sadness bleeds from the mess I’ve made
I should have listened; I should have just obeyed
Come, come to Me
You said such simple words
But yet they pierce me like a sword
I cannot ignore You anymore, anymore
Come, come to Me
You said such simple words
But yet they pierce me like a sword
I cannot ignore You anymore
Come to Me, oh, come to Me
And I will give you rest
Treasures Shine
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
When times are happy
When times are blue
When time has made a mess of you
Come back to the bliss of life
Come back to the bliss of life
In times of wonder
In times of pain
In time we’ll face our share of rain
Come back to the bliss of life
Come back to the bliss of life
Treasures shine when broken men find the Way
We can’t rewind the tragedies of yesterday
Sometimes we triumph
Sometimes we fall
Sometimes we don’t try at all
Come back to the bliss of life
Come back to the bliss of life
Treasures shine when broken men find the Way
We can’t rewind the tragedies of yesterday
Come back to the bliss of life
Come back to the bliss of life
Walk Away
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
Decision time again
In this place again
You hate it when you’re here
So don’t come back
You always dreamed of something more
You can have all that you dreamed
You know exactly what you want
So don’t give in
Cause you already know what you want
So walk away from here
Feeling better now
You’re the victor now
You overcame this time
So don’t come back
You got a Hand that’s got your back
You got a Friend to make you strong
He’s exactly what you need
So keep Him close
Cause you already know what you want
So walk away from here
With You
(back to top)Listen: Play Now - Stop
I will not rest until I hold you in my arms
I will not stop until you know that you are mine
I will lay it all on the line
Lay it all out for you
Until the day that death rips our lives apart
I will fight to keep love burning in our hearts
‘Cause girl you are my one romance
And when I’m old I hope to dance
With you… Oh with you
Sweetie please, hear me when I say
That I believe
With you
I wish that you could see inside this heart
So you would know that you would never need to doubt
You can leave your fears behind
Leave them all behind
We will follow this path that God prepared
Far more beautiful than we had ever dared
Just keep our eyes on Him
And live out this dream
With you… Oh with you
Sweetie please, hear me when I say
That I believe
With you
