All the Things You Said

Were it not for all the things You said
Time and lies would separate us
Make us feel as though it never really was
But still Your word is good as gold
He was never far away
And I know that He’ll be back some day
Just this morning I could hear you say
Blessed are the ones who have a debt they know they cannot pay
Still, in spite, I used to try to earn or buy
What was never up for sale
All those years of walking
Never helped me move along my way
And Your words were talking
But I never heard what they were trying to say
Till You made me see
The light that shines so free
Freely it was shining down on me

Paper Thin

I am paper thin
Lost without my dearest Friend
You have saved me from the grave
Still here inside of my own mind
Such a truth and such a lie
Are competing for an overcrowded space
Though it’s only Monday
I’ve already reached my end
But You’d have me no other way
So help me be so paper thin
To see through me and straight right in
To Him who gave me life and life anew
O straight through me
Right into you
Straight in through me to Him who gave me life anew
Like the moon that glows
But has no glory of its own
Let my life reflect Your rays
And help me be so paper thin
To see through me and straight right in
To Him who gave me life and life anew
O straight through me
Right into You
Straight in through me to Him who gave me life anew

Lay Down Your Arms
03:59

If I had to climb a hundred high hills, I would
I'd scale every one
If I had to sail five frozen seas, I would
I'd launch off today
If I had to face some fearsome foe
To reach that good rest at the end of the road
I would
But a word comes to me
That insults my self-esteem
And my faith in me
Saying lay down your arms, the battle is won
The hills are all scaled, the journey is done
Won't you cool your ambition before you proceed
'Cause nobody earns it, they die or they take it for free
Then what if I could change the laws of the land, I would
Back as the Fathers had planned
What if I could make people all colors and creeds
Go hand in hand
What if I could heal a deadly disease
Save our poor planet and all of the trees
Throw out my bottles and kick all my habits
Donate my profits, surrender my all
But that word has heard my tale
Tells me I will not prevail
I can try but when I fail
It’ll still be not for sale
So lay down your arms, the battle is won
The hills are all scaled, the journey is done
But the good news gets better for those who believe
There’s one Man who earned it
His trophy He shares with the weak

My God is the strength of my weary heart
The only support of my troubled life
My portion forever, my soul sings out
The nearness of the Lord is my good
My feet had nearly stumbled from the path of life
I coveted the ways of those who walk in pride
Secure in their riches, I envied their ease
Till the light shone down upon me
When I came into your presence I perceived their end
They build their lavish mansions on the shifting sand
By turmoil and trouble they’re soon swept away
But the Lord is my rock and refuge
O whom have I in heaven but the Lord my God
And here on earth there’s nothing else that I desire
My spirit may falter, my body may fail
But the Lord is my solid treasure

For My Friend
03:32
|

|
Left to me love would be
A bit too much like entropy
Where could I look to find
Love so much unlike the kind
That blooms for a time
But leaves only barren branches behind
Only He who took a tree
A symbol of inconstancy
And in one day made it say
Love's eternal price is paid
Could give you to me
And show me what love was intended to be
So for the joy set before
I'll love like my Lord
And lay down my life for my friend
Love will not leave for the one who leads me
Changelessly shows me the way
Love will not leave you
I promise you today
He gave you to me
And showed me what love was intended to be
So for the joy set before
I'll love like my Lord
And lay down my life for my friend
