AWAKE

As time went on, I opened my eyes
You never really knew me
You don’t know what’s deep inside

Just so you know, I’ll never be like you
I’ll take what God has made me
I’m not an empty shell

I’m finally awake
I feel alive today
I feel everything
It’s all so clear to me

How many times have I hated who I was
Lost sight of what defines me
because of airbrushed magazines?

But now I’ve come to cherish who I am
I’m sick and tired of taking a life that wasn’t mine

I’m alive
It’s all so clear to me
I’m alive,I’m alive
It’s all so clear to me

And I hope they see 

LEARNING TO FALL

I've heard it said a million times,
That I should hold on tight to Jesus.
But I took this road so far from home,
And distance came between us.

When I walked away,
I knew one day,
I'd need Your grace.

So now you'll find me on my knees, surrendering,
Cause I know that I'm really not so strong.
And now, I'm done fighting for control,
Oh, you can have this life that I've been holding for so long.
I'm learning to fall.Let my world crumble.

You ran so fast to rescue me,
While I was barely breathing.
You picked me up,
You touched my face,
And I began to see more clearly.

Though I'm such a disgrace,
You still forgave.
Your love remains.

So now you'll find me on my knees, surrendering,
Cause I know that I'm really not so strong.
And now, I'm done fighting for control,
Oh, you can have this life that I've been holding for so long.
I'm learning to fall.Let my world crumble.

Take me as an offering.
I surrender everything.
No more living without You.

SO IN LOVE

So many times I’ve fallen

So many ways I’ve failed you

So many times I’ve stepped out on my own

I know I’m undeserving

But I feel you are preserving

The only good that I have shown

The only word that I can bring

Are these very words

that i say to you now

Cause I am so in love with you

There’s nothing else I choose

You’ve stolen my heart

Yes, I’m all for You

I know you’ll never let me go

Even though you know my frailties

Every single thing about me

You show the greatest love that’s known

The only word that I can bring

Are these very words say to you now

I am so in love with you

There’s nothing else I choose

You’ve stolen my heart

Yes, I’m all for you now

Time and time again you show

The depth and love that you bestow

I never fully understand

It’s too great for me to know

But I always try to bring you everything

There’s nothing else I choose

You’ve stolen my heart

Yes, I’m all for you now



YOU WILL SOAR

If I had just one thing to say

Before my last breath fades away.

Keep your head way up in the clouds

And never let them get you down!

Never let them get you down!

Keep hoping and dreaming

and you will soar!

With a little faith and love.

You will soar!

If I had just two words to say,

To explain my life away.

I could say ups and downs,

Because, I always kept my defense down.

Always kept my defense down!

I wish I could take you away

To a place of mystery

We will travel there on sands of time

To listen...to fairy tales

We will listen to fairy tales

We will listen, listen, listen

Keep hoping and dreaming

and you...will soar

With a little faith and Love.

You will soar!

You will soar!

You will soar!

HEART AND MIND

My mind isn't quite sure

what is has bargained for.

But my heart is in time with

with the consistent beat.

This dream is sneaking up on me

no matter how collected I seem to be.

Is anybody ever truly complete?

Or are the better ones just better at believing?

So I'll go and say you're with me.

I know it's just the beginning.

At times I feel cold and exposed under a microscope

but it has never much better to live.

It doesn't matter if all my friends latch on to this.

There's only one acceptance that's not later dismissed.

My mind isn't quite sure

what is has bargained for.

But my heart is in time with

with the consistent beat of yours.

I'm not looking to music to complete me.

I'm not looking for a new philosophy.

I'm not waiting for somebody to swoon me.

I'm just searching for a better way into your love. 

Can you feel the only eyes that see inside?

Can you feel anything anymore?
