There's a hole in my head And thoughts just keep spilling out There's a fire in my bones That I can't seem to put out There's a motive in my heart that I'm not sure about There's a censor on my mouth That never works quite right There's an ego deep inside That always puts up a fight There's a hole in my soul that just hates the light But there remains a love that deeps for me A God whose only goal is to set me free There's a hope that never fades from view The rugged cross starts my life anew There's a child beneath my skin Screaming out for what's mine There's a mess that'll never go away 'Til I admit that I'm not fine There's a Savior knocking at my door asking for my time
2.
I'm broken up, I failed my call But You love, love me still I'm unaware of where I'll fall But I know where I'll land Standing in the midst of this pain I will laugh again, I will fly again Holding my piece of this game I won't be the same, I won't be the same I'm confident in Your care I'm a sheep in Your flock We all know that life ain't fair But You remain, You remain Don't let me fade away Don't let me fall away Your face is beauty beyond words Your grace is wonderfully absurd Your touch restores my soul
3.
Gone are the simple days Gone are my friends Gone are the memories Can't go back again Found everlasting wisdom Riches galore Found power in money But death's at the door Don't pass by this place, don't pass by again Don't pass by this place, don't pass by again I've blown my cover You stagger to my door Where do we find ourselves I only know that I want more I've seen future plans We don't stay here for long, no Might as well give it up right now To be free, well I'm free, yeah
4.
I'm fairly certain there will come a day Will shadows will fall and you will lose your way Direction is lost; the story makes no sense Back stabbed and bleeding, the pain, it is immense Pain it is immense It's a treacherous road Don't journey alone I'll travel with you 'Til the night's long grown cold Long grown cold Lying in the mud hole has lost it's dignity The burden is heavy, you feel the gravity Take my hand friend, I'll suffer with you We're in this together and God weeps with us too God weeps with us too Three cords are stronger We can stand longer It drives us to ponder grace Ponder grace Don't take for granted when relationships are forged It's the only way to fly across that gorge The other side is life in unity Together we laugh in the face of futility The face of futility
5.
If I'm to be Your servant If I'm to be for You If I'm to be Your servant Make me more like You 'Cause I know Your Spirit breaks this heart of stone You provide rest for my soul You make the dead things grow I know And I hear The words that You speak loud and clear The sound of Your voice in my ear Your whisper that calms every fear I hear Well I'm torn Between death and life forevermore Between laughter and this loss that I morn Between comfort and the chance to transform I'm torn
6.
Sprouting from the ground She's a tender shoot A strong wind can blow her down Shelter and love allow her to take root and water keeps from turning brown Clear eyes pierce the shining armor A rolling tear disarms Outstretched hands meet the heart of a father Only the old man can understand The world is an oyster It'll close in on you You'll shoot your eye out with that guy Shelter and love with help her know what is true So scoundrels need not apply Sometimes there's a phase A girlish emotional craze But a father has his ways Of navigating the maze Shelter and love Shelter and love
