Get Up and Walk....
Bethany Dillon
.. ..
I have got no one to blame
Except if that someone’s me
I washed my hands, but just the same
My eyes confess for me
I come in filthy rags
You know I’m guilty
.. ..
I wake up almost every night
Saying Your name
What I would give to walk in the light
But what I hide has made me lame
My face down on the ground
I wait to hear the healing sound
.. ..
You break through my deafness....
Swing
open the curtain....
And
I find the courage to get up and walk....
I
forget my weakness....
For
You’ve answered my loneliness....
And
through the mud on my eyes....
I
can see my Hope has come....
.. ..
You’ll have to show me where to go
It’s been so long since I’ve used my feet
I got up today a cripple
And now I’m dancing
So let the power of Your move
Not stop with what I can see
.. ..
I couldn’t walk....
I couldn’t sing....
I couldn’t love until
You found me
Everyone To Know....
Bethany Dillon/Ed Cash
.. ..
Here we go
Let in the light from my window
Say goodbye to my sorrow
And hello, new day
My soul needed a rescue
A Hero, it had to be You
I know You’ve changed everything
.. ..
So I want everyone to know....
Everyone
to know....
I
want to tell the world about Your love....
.. ..
I’ve thrown years away
And every chance to change
It took so much to see my pride
I’ve thrown punches in the air
Chased after love that wasn’t there
I know only You satisfy
.. ..
To all the broken
hearted....
The crippled and the
weak....
We are all invited to
taste and see....
To all of those who
are searching....
Come find what you
seek....
It is the truth that
we all need
I Am Yours....
Bethany Dillon/Ed Cash
.. ..
Every darkened crevice
Every hidden place
Every secret that’s inside of me
Though I run from You
I don’t get very far
In my weakness You speak tenderly
.. ..
You heal this heart of stone
I am not my own
.. ..
I am Yours....
.. ..
How can I resist a perfect love like this?
It’s like sunshine and the smell of spring
When I’m covered in Your forgiveness
God, it’s overwhelming
.. ..
You have called me out
of shadows....
Out of darkness into
light....
Hemmed in by the hands
of mercy....
I’m completely
satisfied
Stop and Listen ....
Bethany Dillon/Joy Williams/Ben Glover
.. ..
.. ..
I wake up
Start the rush and pour some coffee
Things to do pile up
Oh so quickly
Too many days I feel like
I run on empty
Does anyone else out there feel like me?
.. ..
But I’d be a fool to
forfeit....
The chance to take a
moment....
....
For
You to rise like the dawn....
Over
my cold, tired heart....
What
I thought I had lost....
Finds
me when I stop....
Stop
and listen....
.. ..
It’s the same slowing down lesson we all learn
But I don’t pay much attention
Till I crash and burn
.. ..
So all together....
Let’s stop and sit at
His feet....
My sisters and
brothers....
.. ..
.. ..
Say Your Name....
Bethany Dillon
.. ..
I’m trying to find a moment with You
These days are speeding by
This ring gives me a new point of view
I’m a dealer in my time
And if I can make a confession
My time is torn between
The man who has won my affection
And the God who made me
.. ..
Oh, it all looks different
But that doesn’t mean anything has changed
....
Still
I reach for You....
When
I am afraid....
And
this breath that comes from You....
Helps
me say Your name....
.. ..
I look at the life of Anna
Your presence was her home
I look at the life of my mother
Praying on her back porch
.. ..
One day very soon....
Face to face....
I’ll give an account
of my time to You
.. ..
So Close....
Bethany Dillon
.. ..
I’m so close to being so far away from You
I was wrong, but it takes so much to say it to You
Like a broken husband and wife
Who never talk but share their nights
I’m so close to being so far away from You
I have nothing when I’m living apart from You
Outside, creation groans
To lose our darkness and be made whole
.. ..
For my feet are close to slipping....
Speak
to my heart in time....
You
have promised, so I do believe....
You
won’t forget this wandering child....
.. ..
Still, I’m so close to being so far away from You
Though I know no one on their own makes it through
My soul clings to the dust
So in Your life, let it be enough
.. ..
I’m so foolish to
believe that I can escape Your love....
.. ..
For my feet were close to slipping....
You
spoke to my heart in time....
You
have promised, and I do believe....
You
won’t forget this wandering child....
.. ..
You’re so close when I feel far away from You
You’re so close when I feel far away from You
Reach Out....
Bethany Dillon
.. ..
.. ..
No one knows what is hurting inside me
But I feel it in every breath
So many have promised to heal me
Till my money and hope was spent
I am hiding in this crowd
He may be just beyond my grasp
.. ..
But
if I just reach out....
If
I just reach out....
Just
for a moment....
Could
everything change....
If
I just reach out....
If
I just reach out....
For
the hem of His garment....
Could
everything change....
.. ..
Worry is the water rising
And it’s flooding up to my neck
I’ve nothing to lose, but can I believe
These broken years are in my past
Then eyes like fire and warm like the breeze
Turn and meet mine
.. ..
I feel like something
has changed....
I feel like something
has changed....
I know I felt
something change....
.. ..
I
just reached out....
I
just reached out ....
Just
for a moment....
And
everything changed....
I
reached out....
I
just reached out....
For
the hem of His garment....
And
everything changed....
.. ..
.. ..
Deliver Me....
Bethany Dillon
.. ..
.. ..
Deliver me from my prideful mind
It weighs heavier on me all the time
What a silent, yet, such a deadly crime
To think that I own my own life
.. ..
So humble me just like You did
The king who lost his mind in the wilderness
And don’t let me go back
Until I confess
You are the only God
.. ..
Deliver me from my hateful thoughts
I’m committing murder in the presence of God
Break my heart just like David’s was
With a weeping, pregnant widow in my house
.. ..
How can I despise my brother
When I killed Your only begotten Son?
Help me prefer another and say
You are the only God
.. ..
This morning my alarm went off
Earlier than I’d ever want
And in this small obedience, Lord
Help my heart stay bowed down
.. ..
Father, You’ve given Jesus
All those He will raise up
And all eyes, including mine, will see
You are the only God
..
..
.. ..
The Way I Come To You....
Bethany Dillon
.. ..
Day turned to night
You breathed your last
Blood flowed from Your side
All of God in a young man
Who gave away His life
.. ..
You loved me
When I was Your enemy
And You chose me
When I didn’t believe
.. ..
You drank the cup that was all filled up....
With
my punishment and shame....
From
the garden to the empty tomb....
The
way I come to You forever changed....
.. ..
A crushing burden on our backs
The words hang in the air
“His blood be on us and our children”
Still, You forgave us there
.. ..
Jesus, perfect through
suffering....
Jesus, our merciful
High Priest....
The weakness of God is
mighty....
And the foolishness of
His love has saved me....
.. ..
.. ..
....
In The Beginning....
Bethany Dillon
.. ..
In the beginning was the Word
The Word was God
And put on flesh to dwell with us
In Him was the life
And the Life was the light of men
And it shines in the darkness
.. ..
Even as the rain and snow come down....
And
do not return empty....
Making
it bear fruit and sprout....
So
Your Word will be
.. ..
For the Word is living and active
Like a sword, piercing the division
Of soul, marrow, and spirit
.. ..
A light unto my path....
Strength to carry on....
The treasure I have
found within....
Is hidden in my heart....
