To the one who holds all things together Hold me together now Within your borders there's a new kind of freedom I am freer here somehow There is infinite space in your arms Don't let me go, don't let me go You've never once, never once disappointed Since my feet left the ground Hold me tight, hold me up even higher Don't ever let me down When I'm feeling like I don't belong Oh, you say there is room There is infinite space in your arms When I feeling like I can't go on You will carry me There is infinite space in your arms When life leaves me empty and I just run Run til I can't breathe I'm never too far, not out of your reach And you would go to any length (to the ends of the earth) And I would go to any length to be in your arms tonight

Feathers 04:06
Arrows in flight to my heart tonight Darkness rising from the shadow side Shelter me now from the wind and rain Save me right now from myself again Here's your child, can you hear me sing Heart so tired and you cover me Grace so wide like a covering In your wings I am set free from the fetters Hold me tight til the world can't see me for the feathers Blessing come down every time I praise Mercy pour out every time I stray I know you won't fall from the true and just I know I won't fall when I'm in your love Here's your son, can you hear him singing Right now, right now Heart so tired and you cover me Grace so wide like a covering Hold me tight, what'll be will be

Shadow Side 05:02
Thorn in your side You've pried, can't get it any way you've tried You know heartache, the hell Oh the stories you tell Oh, you got a shadow side? Well, it means you're human And we're dark and we're light, we pretend and we hide Oh, you got a shadow side? Well, it means you're living And we hope and we pray Just to find the grace to be forgiven Trying to drown the sound Coming from the upside down The beautiful noise, oh it destroys Gets louder when you to avoid It's the darkness calling The upside down, the shadow side And I'm not gonna try to fix you So long as you don't try to fix me I'm just gonna be here I'm gonna be right here

You have called me out, see right through Cut to the core You invite me in out of the blue Into your ocean Heart of my youth, now let it beat again For the living water Beat like a drum Fill my lungs, now let me breathe again Oh, the living water Drown me in love Even if I stay, you're never safe You beckon me, live Would I leave the shore for what I wanted more Cut to the core Now I thirst more than ever Now I thirst no more

Let me speak my thoughts out of endless faults I just need some confirmation Wanna feel some kinda foundation Underneath my feet, dignify my plea Could you make sense of this moment, could you set me free? Singin' out I... Need something to believe in I need to hear a word, I need to see a light Cause it's just too dark tonight and I just can't get it right Can you chase it down, trace it now I don't know if I'm right or way wrong I don't know if I even belong Are we family? Is it just skin deep? Could you make sense of this blood that's running cold in me?

I've heard it said the soul Doesn't always go as fast as we do Sometimes you gotta slow your roll Sometimes you gotta let your soul catch up with you I'm going on an airplane ride I'm gonna get away get away for awhile And I don't care where I touch down As long as I land with a smile (open hands and a smile) I'm letting the world pass by I'm bidding my soul reside I'm going on an airplane ride The child loves the land Let's go of his mother's hand to run free But when the thunder rolls the sky The child runs back to hide in the shadow of her wings Oh, restore What I am to what you are now Hold me close I don't ever need to get too far now Surround me in the lonely places (I will sing a new song, I will sing a new song) Take hold of my heart, take hold of my heart You promised you won't, you promised you won't let go
8.
Feels like you're starting me all the way over Mercies are new every morning And your love is sure 'neath my feet You are the author of second chances And you've written so many second ones for me There is no end to your goodness There is no ceiling to your grace Let my mouth overflow with praises Til I raise the ceiling off this place Down for the count, thought I was done Lights out, then I felt burning in my lungs Past in the past, eyes to the sun Just begun, and it feels like... Oh, the enemy held me captive Turned them to stone, turned them to stone But you made a promise, stood in for me Went out alone, went out alone In the bonds of my treason on the table you were tied Left there to die But the magic runs deeper, winter's gone off to hide Now you're alive You're starting me over, you're starting me over From my head to my toes, from my head to my toes You're starting me over To the left, to the right, the voice inside Saying "this is the way, this is the way, walk in it" Heart in pieces, lost on the sea But a fire's still burning, somewhere in the deep Eyes open and I start to breathe Feel the pulse so start the beat Was lost and alone as a sheep could be But you went out for the one and the one was me And my redemption it came like a spring Let me jump from the bricks, let me taste and see Dance and sing, take a chance and pray It's been a long time, let me seize the day Cause the sun is up higher than a man can aim And this gift is too great for any man to claim And a love too wondrous for me to say So you might as well turn me up all the way With every next step, every valley deep Every silver lining and every gold street Every door open for my wayward feet And every heart broken into little pieces you are the author and this I know Time to drop the pen cause you're in control You're starting me over, it's new years eve And my heart gonna praise you with every last beat
