Be still my child
Just know, I'm God
Step out of the traffic
Take a long look
Into my loving eyes
Stand tall in the havoc
I am right here
And I am on your side
My hand, your guide
Your safe place to hide
Step out of the traffic
Take a long look
Into my loving eyes
Stand tall in the havoc
I am right here
And I am on your side
I'm fighting for you
When have I let you down?
When have I let you down?
I'm ever with you
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
(I know you'll never let me down)
(I know you'll never leave me)
(When life's a blur of worry)
(You will lead me home to safety)

When have I let you down?
When have I let you down?
I'm ever with you
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
Your God is a safe place to hide

Nervous anticipation
I don't know if I can
I'm tired of turning pages
One wrong move and it might tear
But after a month of goodbyes
It honestly feels good to say, "Hi"
Now with your hand shaking mine
I honestly feel like we're gonna be just fine
I'm walking out on water
And I'm locking eyes with you
Let's keep this conversation
Show me green in all this blue
After a month of goodbyes
It honestly feels good to say, "Hi"
Now with your hand holding mine
I honestly feel like we're gonna be just fine
After a month of goodbyes
It honestly feels good to say, "Hi"
Now that I'm on the other side
I honestly feel like we're gonna be just fine

Are We Gonna Make It?

I guess I'm a real man now
Living with a roommate
The kid's name is Stress
Is this how it has to be?
So much is good here
But so much is fear
Saying, "You're not gonna make it"
Am I gonna make it?
God help me
My sandbox was safe but this wilder life
Will I be alright?
It's a jungle out here
And it's every man for himself
This is the real world and we're at the bottom
Are we gonna make it?
It's relentless out here
We're a really long way from home
We asked for freedom and got it
But with it we got this responsibility
We've been waiting for this all our lives
Now it's all about the hustle, the due dates
No field trips or field day
Do real men ever have fun?
So much is good here
But so much is fear
Saying, "You're not gonna make it"
Am I gonna make it?
It's a jungle out here
And it's every man for himself
This is the real world and we're at the bottom
Are we gonna make it?
It's relentless out here
We're a really long way from home
We asked for freedom and got it
But with it we got this responsibility
Feels like we're in over our heads
Are we gonna make it?
We thought we were more than just kids
Are we gonna make it?
Feels like we've been left on our own
Are we gonna make it?
We came out here looking for home
Have we found it yet?
Is this really it?
It's a jungle out here
And it's every man for himself
This is the real world and we're at the bottom
Are we gonna make it?
It's relentless out here
We're a really long way from home
We asked for freedom and got it
But with it we got this responsibility
It's a jungle out here
But we'll never be by ourselves
'Cause this is your world
So help us remember that we're gonna make it

Wait and See

I tilled the old ground
Sowed the pristine dream-seed
Covered, watered, and left it for the sun
Now I've waited so long
And still whatever's down there's sleeping tight
But I know that it's alive
It's a humbling thing to be up all night
Thinking, "What if it doesn't show?"
It's a humbling thing to be all alone
In the bleak midwinter snow
Thinking, "What if I've sown a no-show?
What if I worked real hard but it still doesn't grow?"
But I trust that dream
Was a humble seed of a new thing
For now, I'll wait and see
Cling to the window
A desperate longing for a
Glimpse of color peeking through the soil
But still nothing!
With every tick of time
The weight of waiting buries me
Maybe I'm not unlike that seed
It's a humbling thing to be up all night
Thinking, "What if it doesn't show?"
It's a humbling thing to be all alone
In the bleak midwinter snow
Thinking, "What if I've sown a no-show?
What if I worked real hard but it still doesn't grow?"
But I trust that dream
Was a humble seed of a new thing
For now, I'll wait and see
I sow and water and tend the soil
Why can't growing be mine to control?
Is this weary hand worth this toil
Or should I fold?
It's a humbling thing to be up all night
Thinking, "What if it doesn't show?"
It's a humbling thing to be all alone
In the bleak midwinter snow
Thinking, "What if I've sown a no-show?
What if I worked real hard but it still doesn't grow?"
But maybe it's meant to be slow
Maybe before it can heal it has to be broken
Maybe this thing is a ghost
Waking up when I lose the thing I love most
Still I trust that dream
Was a humble seed of a new thing
I will trust that dream
Was a humble seed of a new thing
For now, I'll wait and see

Sometimes it hurts to be alive
When you're already freezing
And you get a phone call
There's no getting ready for days like these
You've seen it in headlines
But not this close to home
Like a ton of cement dropped on the heart
The whole lot collapses
And you've no place to go
Lord I don't get it
I thought everything was fine
God get us through this
Don't let us fall apart
Don't let us fall apart
Don't let us fall apart
Don't let us fall apart
Don't let us fall apart
Don't let us fall apart

Mess

This thing I made
Now a tangled up mess
I toiled, I slaved
I was doing my best
Like soaked insulation, I held it all in
But like glass on the pavement
My strength's wearing thin
The ceiling caved
Scattered sheetrock and gold
My crowns, my fame
With the limbs in the road
My tower of Babel I built with my hands
I found out the hard way
I built it on sand
I thought I could hold it
I thought I was safe
In my hand crafted palace
Donned with plaques of my name
I've nowhere to go!
I'm a tangled up mess!
But you whisper softly
"Just lie here and rest"
Have your way, Lord
In all of this mess
In all of this stress
Have your way
Have your way, Lord
In all of this mess
In all of this stress
Have your way

Tears of Surrender

The winter was long
I've been holding on to life
Like it could keep me warm
I've been so uptight
I've put up a fight that my own will be done
But now, at your feet
I finally see you're all I'll ever need
So one at a time
Give you all that's mine
But really it was yours all along
I'm loosing my grip
I'm praying you'll rip it from my hands if you have to
'Cause now, at your feet
I finally see you're all I'll ever need
How sweet this surrender
I finally fell apart
With tears of surrender
I give up my restless heart
Nothing else matters
I've found my hiding place
Now these tears of surrender
Fall gently down my face
I scrambled to hold my illusion of control
But I'm lost on my own
Take my hand, will you Father?
My life's on the ground
My trophies and my crowns
I've laid them all down
All I need is you, Father
My worries are gone
When I collapse into your arms
My home all along
Was right here next to you, Father
I'm lost in your eyes
I'm standing here and crying
'Cause I feel so alive with all my trust in you Father

Sometimes deliverance
Is standing on the shore
I put away my sword
And watch the waves recoil
But sometimes obedience
Is rolling up your jeans
I'm wading through the weeds
I step before I see
The cloud stops, I lay low
The fire moves, I follow
Keep my eyes wide, listen out
Am I to go or wait it out
There's a still, small voice saying
"Stand still," or, "Get moving"
Sometimes deliverance
Is pacing 'round a wall
A silent daily crawl
Just praying it'll fall
But sometimes obedience
Is going out to war
I'm tearing down the door
The battle is the Lord's
The fire stops, I lay low
The cloud moves, I follow
Keep my eyes wide, listen out
Am I to go or wait it out
There's a still, small voice saying
"Stand still," or, "Get moving"
Sometimes deliverance
Is not before it's hard
Grapes after a spar
Canaan left a scar
But sometimes obedience
Is cherishing the road
I'm learning as I go
Keep setting up these stones
I'm marking my way home
With Ebenezer stones

Afternoon walk on the tide
It honestly feels good to be alive
Now with your hand holding mine
I honestly feel like it's gonna be just fine
Gonna be just fine
Gonna be just fine
Afternoon walk on the tide
It honestly feels good to be alive
Now with your hand holding mine
I honestly feel like it's gonna be just fine

Hold my hand
Let's go walking on the waves again
Great unknown
Even there, when I'm with you, I'm home
I'm racing out in wonder
Where might you take me next?
I can't tiptoe no longer
Together we will dance like
Father and son, living alive
What an adventure! What a delight!
Father said, "Son, stay at my side
When you are with me, you'll be alright
You'll be alright
When you are with me, you'll be alright
You'll be alright"
Side by side
Let's go!
I wanna see the jungle with these new eyes
Let's explore
Will you show me what's beyond the shore?
I can't tiptoe no longer
Together we will dance like
Father and son, living alive
What an adventure! What a delight!
Father said, "Son, stay at my side
When you are with me, you'll be alright
You'll be alright
When you are with me, you'll be alright
You'll be alright"
My God is a safe place to hide
I'm not gonna leave your side
My God is a safe place to hide
I'm not gonna leave your side
We are Father and son, living alive
What an adventure. What a delight
Father said, "Son, stay at my side
When you are with me, you'll be alright"
Father and son, living alive
What an adventure! What a delight!
Father said, "Son, stay at my side
When you are with me, you'll be alright
You'll be alright
When you are with me, you'll be alright
You'll be alright"
I know you'll never let me down
I know you'll never leave me
When life's a blur of worry
You will lead me home to safety
I know you'll never let me down
I know you'll never leave me
When life's a blur of worry
You will lead me home to safety
I know you'll never let me down
I know you'll never leave me
When life's a blur of worry
You will lead me home to safety
I know you'll never let me down
I know you'll never leave me
When life's a blur of worry
You will lead me home to safety...

(My God is a safe place to hide)
(I'm not gonna leave your side)
