You fall for someone for some reason
And you share a bit of life and you love them
And you want them to sit down and stay awhile
What's more, you take a liking to them
And they sweeten up your days
You start to fancy that it's best this way

Ah darn it, now I loved 'em but it's not all up to me
If it's not right, then it's not right to worry
Cause life has a way of shaking things up a bit at times
And so you learn how to say goodbye

So it's time now to get on
I can see now that they're gone
That they were good and I learned what I needed
But they were never mine
So I admit to those things and get on

I've got stories to remind me and I probably won't forget
And I miss them and I trust that there are better things ahead
Cause, though I have loved some good ones,
I know I've just begun to get a handle on how to love

So it's time now to get on
I can see now that they're gone
That they were good and I learned what I needed
But they were never mine
So I admit to those things and get on

Life has a way of shaking things up a bit at times
And so you learn how to say goodbye

(Life has a way of shaking up, I love them and I lose them, I miss them and I say goodbye)
(It's time to get on, they're good, now they're gone)

It's something new, the way I feel for you
How I've never run away though everything's changing
You're someone who, in all the things you do
Make me want to give a chance to all that I'm feeling

It's obvious like gravity
There's something between you and me

So don't look back, it's better if you can't keep track of it
Nothing's like you thought it'd be
And everything in life's not free
There's a price to pay, I'm taking it one day at a time
You're the one I want around

It's bittersweet, jumping in with both feet deep
Where do I go from here, is it the right way?
You're just the kind, I've already made up my mind
If life's the race and my heart's the prize
I want you to win it

It's obvious like gravity
There's something between you and me

So don't look back, it's better if you can't keep track of it
Nothing's like you thought it'd be
And everything in life's not free
There's a price to pay, I'm taking it one day at a time
You've come so unexpectedly
But something says you're good for me
Let's carve our names into a tree

It's obvious like gravity
There's something between you and me

So don't look back, no you can't keep track of it
Nothing's like you thought it'd be
And everything in life's not free
There's a price to pay, I'm taking it one day at a time
You're the one I want around

I'm not your type, you're right, I'm not your type
I'm just the girl that you bring home to your mother
And all of the inference that I've read into is fiction
And on and on it goes

But now that it's done and whatever is gone
I'm not your type
And I can see you're either terribly wrong or you're right
I'm not your type

Cause I'm not the girl who will tell you what you want to hear
I'm sorry but I don't believe that that's good for you dear
And all of the things that you think you may want, they're deceiving
And on and on they grow

But now that it's said, it's gotten into my head
That I'm not your type
And I can see you're either terribly wrong or you're right
I'm not your type

And on and on it goes
So I'm not your type? Well I hope that you're right
Cause if I'm not your type that'd mean you'd strung me along
Till I believed that it's wrong to be lovely and strong
Cause that's not your type

(Now I can't stay and I'm so sorry baby, You've driven me crazy)

Bake another cake please
I really need a party
To pull everyone together

I'm shaking off this bad dream
I know I'll make it through till morning
And then I will pull it together

There are ways on these days
There are ways to celebrate what is great
On sadder days though I'm still learning

So pull out your umbrella
We're pushing through the downpour
You know, you make up for the weather

We'll pop in a movie
And then we'll talk for hours about the things
That make up for the heartache

There are ways on these days
There are ways to celebrate what is great
On sadder days though I'm still learning

I'm letting the sun appear brighter
You're making the dark seem lighter
And this is exactly what is good for me

On these days, on these days
I'm still learning what is great on sadder days

There are ways to celebrate
And I'm still learning

You say I'm better than the mess I got myself in
You see something in me that I can't and I don't believe
I'll try hard to let it sink in

Keep me alive, it's part of the cure
Save me now

I'm stuck here circling, facing all my doubts
Remind me of everything true, I need to know
That I am worth the love that you give

Keep me alive, it's part of the cure
Save me now

Silence breathtaking over the mountains
Speaking as though sun has come
The winter is past, the rains are all gone

Flowers appear on the earth and the singing,
The season of singing has come
The voice is sweet and the beauty is lovely

Come swiftly my love
My heart is faint

Who is this that appears like the dawn
Fair as moon, bright as the sun
Majestic as stars in their procession

Come swiftly my love
My heart is faint

Love is as strong as death
It burns like a mighty flame
Waters cannot quench it
Rivers can't wash it away

Come swiftly my love
My heart is faint

Can someone make some sense of this?
Can someone really notice this?

This is drowning out love and jewels are wasted
This is drowning out life and love is wasted

This is more than just a mockery
Of what's askewed with our beliefs

This is drowning out love and jewels are wasted
This is drowning out life and love is wasted

No one talks and children lose
And they can't help what they can't prove
But it's been proven and this is what we can't stand for
And I'm sorry, for I've ignored

This is drowning out love and jewels are wasted
This is drowning out life and love is wasted
This is drowning out love
This is drowning out life and all is wasted

Oh what for?
For nothing good enough, it's not good enough to ignore

We were made for each other
We were smiling at the start
I see the sun as it's rising
Fill my head, break my heart
Make it whole from the parts

Hand in hand will you keep me
Through the simple and the hard
Through the fear and forgiving
Fill my head, break my heart
Make it whole from the parts

What will they say?
What will they do?
When something so old
Becomes shiny and new

If we choose one another
Such a gift – who'd have thought?
Side by side come together
Fill my head, break my heart
Make it whole from the parts

God has made us a promise
From his child he'd not depart
And his riches beyond measure
Filled my head, broke my heart
Made it whole from the parts

It's not in the fight, it's not in the friends that you have, It's not in the reasons they give
And all of the questions that fly to the surface, all of the inside out
Add up to the reasons that you have a problem and the whole world is shutting down

I want you to know it's not all about you, but I love you – you know
I want you to see, everything's broken, but it still can be redeemed

It's not in the dream that you're trying to be
Face in your hands, flat on the floor
It is the reason that you have a problem and the whole world is crashing down
And even if you could pull the pieces together would it even be worth it now?

I want you to know it's not all about you, but I love you – you know
I want you to see, everything's broken, but it still can be redeemed

you're broken, aren't we all?
So you're broken

So you're broken, aren't we all
Like you have been since the fall
So you're broken, and we're broken

MP3

Clock on the wall says twenty to eight
I'm having a hard time getting up to start the day
What can I say? Stayed up too late and youâ??re to blame for the delay

I want to give you a call, just a hello
Tell you the things I thought I never could before
Please keep me close
So I can walk with you through all life has

This is the way, the way I say I love you
Don't you forget I'll tell you every single day
That you are the one
I'll give you my whole life to be with you today

Listen real hard, can you hear that
All of the sounds have turned to classic overtures
Look all around it's changing from black and white to technicolor

This is the way, the way I say I love you
Don't you forget I'll tell you every single day
That you are the one
I'll give you my whole life to be with you today

I'd be safe to keep it to myself
But it's a better way to say you're everything thing I want

Don't you forget I'll tell you every single day

This is the way, the way I say I love you
Don't you forget I'll tell you every single day
That you are the one
I'll give you my whole life to be with you today

MP3

Oh what it was, was not good enough
Oh how I loved, but that was not enough
All years gone by but you still remain
There's a spell on me at the sound of your name

But all I pray now is for you to know love and to know you're enough
And every good time you come back in mind
Or when you come around when you're back in town
I want the best for you

You've traveled far to follow your love
But you caught my heart, you're the one I think so fondly of
But I can't catch you if you can't really be found
I can't wait for you to love me

So all I pray now is for you to know love and to know you're enough
And every good time you come back in mind
Or when you come around, won't you come around?

Cause all I pray now is for you to know love and to know you're enough
And every good time you come back in mind
Or when you come around, when you're back in town
I want the best for you

The years they take their toll, but I am glad I can say that I've had you by my side
And these sorrow make for a better shape
And now they have set me in this place where I can say

I just can't get over it, I still can't get over it – not that I want to
And you just can't get over me, it's so darn encouraging
As long as I fall for anyone but you

Honey, I would shake all these hurts away,
If I thought it'd help these things get better in the end
But with every step we grow stronger yet
With that in the back of your mind you can toss these fears away

I just can't get over it, I still can't get over it – not that I want to
And you just can't get over me, it's so darn encouraging
As long as I fall for anyone but you

You were the one who wanted this from the start
You offered me your ring before I offered my heart
You have yourself convinced that I am what you need
Who knew you'd have us figured out
before you talked to me?

I tried not to lead you on, but my best just shines
When I put my nice friend face on
It's a mess, you think too much of me I guess
Now I'm the one who has to lay it out
And let you down easy

May I remind you that I never said one darn thing
That I thought would get this into your head
But it's there now, you are smitten hands down
And i'm the best to blame
Because i'm just nice from the get go

I tried not to lead you on
But you misread me
And I mistakenly smiled for too long
It's a mess you think too much of me I guess
Now I'm the one who has to lay it out
I'm the one who has to bring it up
I'm the one who has to clear it up
And let you down easy

There's been this weight of something pushing me
On my shoulders down pressing hard
The fight in me I've spent it all on love
Fought with rationed words cried to motioned heart

I need to see you tall, stand before me speaking
All the promise held
Believing I'm something more - there's so much more
You're summer sun - come bright to wake me up
I know you loved me then and still

My past is owned by wars of pride
Never falling back or winning ground
A change for peace will soon begin from both sides now

I need to see you tall, stand before me speaking
All the promise held
Believing I'm something more - there's so much more
You're summer sun - you know I loved you then
and I love you still

"Growing times" I will say
When I look back on this someday
I'll have come so far from here
All this havoc disappeared

But now I'm distracted by you
I might not be over you
My thinking is wrapped up in you, and I know

I am tired of guessing with you
And I am tired of missing you
When you're not really here
So why do you still tear me apart?

All this doubt that holds me down
Will someday leave and leave me sound
You can't be everything
But what you were was good for me

But now I'm distracted by you
I might not be over you
My thinking is wrapped up in you, and I know.

I am tired of guessing with you
And I am tired of missing you
When you're not really here
So why do you still tear me apart?

From you I'm moving on
But I tarry near you still
Half heartedly I've let go
I'm waiting for the push to know

We've been curious for quite sometime
I know you want something to start
But you and I keep getting all our signals crossed
Searching for sparks to fly

But it's like trying
To start a fire in a swimming pool
Or making crackers out of lemonade
Trying to stargaze on a cloudy afternoon
I'm never going to be the one for you sweet friend
You know I'm not the one
I wish I was

The things you do for me are very nice
But I keep thinking you don't get me
And I can tell that I am not the best for you
It seems so useless to attempt

It would be like trying to drive us to australia
Or growing chocolate trees by planting hershey bars
So basically dear - maybe in another world
But here I'm really not the one for you
You know I'm not the one
I wish I was

Today I need you to be stronger than yesterday
The upright is standing alone waiting for you to play

Sing me a song love
Let your voice rise up
And join with the angels

Rockets go to the moon leaving the earth behind
But lately I can't even move without you crossing my mind

Sing me a song love
Let your voice rise up
And join with the angels

MP3

Lord only knows what you're going through
Lord only knows how deeply you've been bruised
And I can not tell you how much I am sorry

I wouldn't wish this hurt on any friend
And all I can do is say that I'll pray
And that I am glad I know you today

Words might do little to ease your mind
Cause they are what caused so much pain at the time
So this is the least that I can offer

Lord only knows what you're going through
Just trying to keep going, got stuff to do
Though nothing in what happened seem fair

So you keep moving on
Healing will come it comes along
Til then may friendships hold you together

Words might do little to ease your mind
'Cause they are what caused so much pain at the time
So this is the least that I can offer

Picture God in all His glory
He's holding you still
And He loves you without end
Picture heaven in its splendor
It's nothing like this earth
Where your love will not be let down

Coffee drinks in paper cups
Your shuffling feet and eyes that won't look up
Don't let it get to you

Your obvious disinterest
Has seeped into even the way you dress
Don't let it get to you and don't say "why?"

Strings of days that look the same
All full of people who only know your name
Don't let them get to you

Just keep on through crowded rooms of judging eyes
Wearing that look of boredom you cannot disguise
Don't let it get to you, just ask "why?"

Pull the picture from the frame
To chase the memories our of your mind
Don't let her get to you
Donâ??t let it get to you

MP3

I can't wait for you to give in to love
I can't wait for you to get what you're made of

Won't that change everything
Won't it make life more than it has seemed
Won't you see you weren't made for nothing?

You are beautiful

And I know you well
But I can only do so much for you
And I would do it all if I could just show you truth

Won't that change everything
Won't it make life more than it has seemed
Won't you see you weren't made for nothing?

You are beautiful

MP3

Save me from wandering
Carry me home
Make me lie in pastures green
Restore my soul

Guide me on righteous paths
Though I walk through shadows of death
I will fear no evil here
For you are here with me

Comfort me as I lay
Prepare a table for me
Surely goodness and love will follow me
All the days of my life

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

You mention to me all the ordinary couples
Are just friends holding hands as far as you can tell
And to put it plainly you would like to have us try it
Make this something more
It's something you would like as well

So you've laid it on the line
It'd be a rotten dirty thing to leave you hanging on a string
When you've said exactly how you feel

Now I feel confident about many things
But when it comes to this I'm afraid to admit I know nothing at all
And what you suggest is more than a little bit frightening
Because I don't want to risk
I'm not ready for that fall

But you've laid yourself out on the line
It'd be a rotten dirty thing to leave you hanging on a string
When I know exactly how you feel

I could just tell you I feel exactly how you feel

Bring me flowers of bring me some honesty
Shed some light on this because I could use some clarity
All that's patient inside me is waiting for more
So let me not waste my time if you're just planning to go

If you're leaving please close the door tightly
If you're coming back please let me know
Because I can't bear it each time that you don't say
If i'll see you again…when?
And if not, I need to be okay

Behind your eyes, what, dear, are you hiding?
From all of your past and the future you're still fighting
We have time now to tear down insecurities
I could share my time, I just need to know

If you're leaving please close the door tightly
If you're coming back please let me know
Because I can't bear it each time that you don't say
If i'll see you again…when?
And if not, I need to be okay

At the drop of a hat I would say yes to your questions
And I would think it great to be your friend
And not only that, I would love to hear your stories always
And hear your laughter from the phone line's other end

It's simply marvelous what I know of you
And of the things I've heard, I like you that much more
And more time with you makes my heart grow fonder
But there's just one small thing that I think I should know

What are you thinking of me?
I haven't figured it out - not yet - not specifically
And everything means nothing, until you put into your words
What you are thinking when you think of me

And I could sure make more guesses than the ways you make me laugh
As to your intentions with me
But all my guesses add up to a whole lot of nothing
So I'll wait for you to divulge to me

What are you thinking of me?
I haven't figured it out - not yet - not specifically
And everything means nothing, until you put into your words
What you are thinking when you think of me

Walking down the hallway, to see you once again
Will you be there for me, if I was here for you?

I'm speaking out to touch you, the only words I know

Can this be all that you are?
Can this be all that I am?
Eyes don't lie but memory fades
Take my hand don't turn away

I see you with my eyes closed, a vision just for me
Could you just go and leave me if I'll always be here?

Can this be all that you are?
Can this be all that I am?
Eyes don't lie but memory fades
Take my hand don't turn away

Hands, arms, hug
I need something I can see, feel, touch
So I know I'm not alone (and I know I'm not alone)
Because you're here with me

Lips, sounds, words
I need to know that I am seen, known, heard
So I know you truly care (and I know you truly care)
Because you're here with me

I'm looking out through rosy glasses
And I'm digging for those words that may convince the masses
Of those stone-faced hypocrites who've lost their innocence
That they are not alone

Take a chance
It's okay if you desire romance
So do not be afraid to take a few steps out in faith
And let yourself go

I'm gazing out through rosy glasses
And I'm searching for those words that may convince the masses
Of the timid uneloquent, shy irreverent
They can be loved and known

I'm looking out through rosy glasses
and my heart is longing to convince the masses
Of those pathological rebellious prodigals
They can be loved and known

Hands, arms, touch
Is it making sense that I need your love?
For I know that you are real
It's just sometimes nice to feel you there

MP3

I do, for a while
I promise you, at least for now
And I love you forever, or until I say otherwise
But I do, for now

I'll say these words to you today
I'll look you in the eye, believe me now
And I'll love you forever, or until I say otherwise
But I do, for now

These words I say to you
They mean nothing if I can not follow through
And is it just feelings or something more
That will hold us together?

These things I vow are true
But they are nothing if I can not follow through
And who is to say when enough is enough
When we say this is love?
And we say this is love

My heart is empty it is broken
My mind is restless it is torn
And all the thoughts inside me run rampant
And my doubts are all the words I can afford

Within the caverns of my intellect
I am screaming for reprieve
From the rebellion that keeps me from surrender
From a future that you hold I can't believe

Praise the Lord, oh my soul
Oh heart that is within me praise the power of His name
Praise the Lord, oh my soul
Oh heart that is within me praise His wisdom and His grace
When I know nothing more tell my soul to praise the Lord

Amidst the pain of my diseases
Will I believe that you are good?
And just to those who have known such oppression
Is your love enough to melt away my fear?

Praise the Lord, oh my soul
Oh heart that is within me praise the power of His name
Praise the Lord, oh my soul
Oh heart that is within me praise His wisdom and His grace
When I know nothing more tell my soul to praise the Lord

Speak gently, you've got a lot of nerve
To speak to me that way after all I've done for you
Daughter, my flesh my bone, my flesh
Do you think I don't know just what you've been up to?

You've got problems I've got my problems
Why don't we let them lie?
You've got reasons I've got my reasons
Why can't we just try?
I sit at home and pray and fret
I need to let you fly
To arms that can better hold you

And lately you are so quiet now
You used to have a spark where has it gone?
Daughter, you are a grown-up now
It's hard to trust you know what you've gotten into

All the things I've said I've done
I've tried all things in love
Now I see that in my tries I've probably said enough
I sit at home and pray and fret
I need to let you fly
To arms that can better hold you

It's over, I've told you so
And you admit it but you will not let me go
You say you miss, you say you love, I say you lie
You say I've hurt you but why am I the one who cries

And I try to settle down, but you're a little bit unnerving
And as my walls they tumble down
You still won't set me free, it's over

I'm running fast, I'm running wild, I'm running scared
I'm scared to lose you, does nay part of this seem fair?
I'm wasting life, I'm wasting breath, I'm wasting care
I waste my thoughts on you when you are never there

And I try to put you down, but you're a little bit unworthy
And as my walls they tumble down
You still won't set me free it's over

I can't break away
You have my heart - let it go
Or do you ever know?

I'm wandering this road I've worn out in my mind
And I've come, not to see you, but to see you again

Have you changed?
Are you still the same?

I'm seeing you for the first time, for the last time I will leave you
And will always be back again someday

Have you changed?
Are you still the same?

Will I remember?
Can I choose to forget you ever were?
Will I remember?
Can I remember to forget that you were again

The words we never said, and the looks we never held
The silence that we kept so long, it was easier left unsaid
But there's no denying

Standing at your door, listening to our words
Honesty I've never heard
I'd stay for hours more, but with you I can't ignore
What's best and all I've learned
There's no denying, there's no one denying

I know it sounds crazy but I feel so much
And I don't know what to do with myself but I like being where you are
And I feel so certain about who I am in your eyes
And how come with you my time flies, but I will let that time go by
Because there's no denying, there's no one denying

All I've ever known is not what I know now, when I look at you
And I'm scared of being known, but not as scared with you somehow
There's no denying

Little one, why are you crying?
Let me take you in my arms and hold you for a while

Baby, I give my hand for you to hold
Be sure of my embrace, I'll never let you go

Forever, with all my heart

Child of mine, I'll sing you a sweet lullaby
There is sanctuary here, sleep gently in my arms

Darling, come to my shelter
Hide your face in me, find care in my embrace

MP3

Just another day, breathing out and breathing in
Put on the same old jacket, step out the door
And no birds are singing except the ones inside your head
And they sing

This is no ordinary day, no ordinary life I'm living
For you appear to me in the ordinary

Just another day, holding the hand of one you've loved for thirty years
Late Tuesday or Thursday afternoons blurring together like watercolor lines
And no one is singing except the voice inside your head
And it goes

This is no ordinary day, no ordinary life I'm living
For you appear to me in the ordinary

It's just another day, just another step in this maze we call our own
A trip to the store, same people around, the routine sometimes gets old
It's the same old - same old for most of us
A walk in the park (yeah, if I had time)
It's breaking my back for one little dime
That keeps bread on the table and life in my eyes
But you love these things that most would despise
That's not very ordinary

Time flies when you're having fun
And it's flown too quickly for me
For my time has arrived
The day has come, the day I must leave
Where I'll go I cannot barely know
All I see is the road at my feet

I must go, I must leave this place
I have somewhere to go
I have a new road to follow
I must go, and though I wish I could stay
There is something beyond what I see
I must go

And though I feel like I'm losing myself as I fear leaving all this behind me
I will not, I will not lose my faith as I go
For my fears will be vanished in time
And I know that I will be fine

I must go, I must leave this place
I have somewhere to go
I have a new road to follow
I must go, and though I wish I could stay
There is something beyond what I see
I must go

And I will not forget you, I could not forget you
Even though I cannot be by yourside
But life's course has brought us to this place, tomorrow we must embrace
And seek joy in this bittersweet goodbye

To give up one's dreams, to give up all you want in life
Before it consumes you
To take a shelter and run into a stranger's arms
Leaving all that's familiar
The pain will run as deep as I want it to go
I finally found within myself that I knew nothing at all

One day, last year, I thought that I conquered the world
One day, last year, I knew the real world inside out
Nothing could stop me, not even you
But now look at me
I've conquered more than just the world

Before we met, I'd been crushed a thousand ways
Forgot my own name
Behind the limelight, kindness is all you gave to me
I thank you for your dignity
Caught up in the rat race I stopped to feel your hand
I think I finally know how it feels to be loved for who I am

One day, last year, I thought that I conquered the world
One day, last year, I knew the real world inside out
Nothing could stop me, not even you
But now look at me
I've conquered mroe than just the world

MP3

I was pushed back and about to fall but the Lord helped me
He is my strength and He is my song
He has become my salvation

I tried my hardest to trust in myself futilely
In my anguish I cried to the Lord
and He answered me by setting me free

The Lord is with me and I will not be afraid
What can man and all his ways do to me

His love endures forever

Before the wind before the rain, I recall something there
Before the turn of the century
Before I changed my mind to love, and give up everything
I do recall soemone standing there

You were my friend (highlight of the day)
Pushing your way in (forsaking everything)
Sharing your fears (so fearlessly)
Beside me

I try to tell myself to change, to let it all inside
Because I will not let it go
So frightened of the storm before that I must turn away
I knew a million times before

You were my friend (highlight of the day)
Pushing your way in (forsaking everything)
Sharing your fears (so fearlessly)
Beside me

Everyone surrounding me was screaming to let it all inside
It's better just to hide
But isn't it funny how when you finally lose the will to win
I see you through my own eyes

I hope you find this note where I leave it for you
I'll hide it just enough to maybe surprise you
And I will seal up this enevelope to hide this little note I wrote
And I'll write your name on front like I always do

And when you return from the place that you have been
You'll find this little note left from your little friend
And you will see your name upon it
And you'll open it to see what I wrote on it
And here's what you'll find when you do

My friend, it's been a long day for me
I miss seeing your face and I miss your company
I could use a hug from you
And you know I would love to talk with you too
But I will just have to wait 'til I see you again

And this is only the beginning of it all
There's much to say but I will wait until you call
And then when you do I will hear the voice of my friend on the other end
And I'll probably say, oh good you got the note

And let me tell you that
My friend, it's been a long day for me
I miss seeing your face and I miss your company
I could use a hug from you
And you know I would love to talk with you too
But I will just have to wait 'til I see you again

Holding me close, he's always protected me
The calm in the storm, the joy that surrounds me
But left in my chains my emotions take over
My soul could be dead, but you've never left me

I never knew your heart 'til now
I never knew your soul
I'm crazy about the way he walks, the things he'll do
But now I know - I love you

It breaks me apart, oh like no other
My selfishness grows and my emotions take over
But wherever I am or how betrayed I become
I know that you will stand by me when all else is gone

Yeah the one thing I know is your love is constant
And brokenness comes but you will take me away from this place
Once again

Time goes by (fruit bears every slowly)
Joy returns (in spite of my impatience)
Life comes back (she'll get back up)
He strengthens her (however weak she may be)

The same old stuff I have to do
Over and over and over again each day it seems
Nothing great to show of my abilities and my worth
So show me my purpose in the midst of this routine

Because I'm trying to understand why I am here at all
With so many guesses and too many simple answers
Could it be that life is not what I think at all
It's not the big things but the ordinary in between
And maybe this is not the time to be waiting for
Any better reason to be glad that I'm alive at all
So help me take each day each simple thing that I must do
To bring glory to you

And I could search out a lot of ways
To keep me doing things in attempt to make my mark
But then maybe I'd miss the mark of your desire for me
So I will trust in you and in everything I do
Do it as for you

And I am learning to understand why I am here at all
There's no need for guesses when you are the simple answer
And You show me that life is not what I think at all
It's not the big things but the ordinary in between
And maybe this is not the time to be waiting for
Any better reason to be glad that I'm alive at all

So help me take each day each simple thing that I must do
To bring glory to you

You're worried about what I'll do when I discover what you've been hiding
And you're frightened of what will become of you when the stable past subsides

And now your secret is exposed and all eyes are on you
Well I'll never understand but I'll stand beside you
Yes I'll stand beside you

Cause who am I to judge you
I could never stand in your way
I'd be a fool if I couldn't love you
If I let this get in the way
And now you're dying inside as you practice your goodbyes
But you can save your breath cause I'd be a fool
If I couldn't love you

Yesterday was stripped from me, but the memories I'll never surrender
And I could stand on my pedestal and say a thing or more to you
But where would my heart be? Nobody asked me to make a judgment call on you
And you have been set free, from grace you cannot flee
And he'll see you through and I'll see you through

Cause who am I to judge you
I could never stand in your way
I'd be a fool if I couldn't love you
If I let this get in the way
And now you're dying inside as you practice your goodbyes
But you can save your breath cause I'd be a fool
If I couldn't love you

Well I've been so independent, I've roamed the streets of Europe
And I have crossed the oceans on my own

And I've never felt a burning need to chat with people endlessly
In fact my favorite company was me
And now I'm standing here on the edge of a new horizon
I faced my greatest fear when I almost lost you

And now the ocean of my independence cannot contain the love I have for you
And I would search all India for rubies and gems
Where could I find a more precious stone?
Than what God's given me in you alone

Having been to hell and back
I finally stopped expecting for others to return love like I do
Freely giving all devotion has always been my strong point
And I have found so few reciprocate

You're not what I expected, in fact you're more than that
The faithful hand of God has put our lives on the same track

And I will cross the ocean of your independence
To be the picture of the love God has for you
And I would search all India for rubies and gems
Where could I find a more precious stone?
Than what God's given me in you alone

Who can make me laugh
Who can make me smile (like you alone)
Just to hold my hand and hold my heart

I'd give my life to cross the ocean of your independence
To be a picture of the love God has for you
And I would search all India for rubies and gems
Where could I find a more precious stone
Than what God's give me in your alone
