It's Up to You

I can't begin to feel your pain
I'm not able to understand
I won't lie to make you feel good
I'll be as honest as I can
I'll be your guide
As long as you ask
Just say when
And I'll let go
It's all up to you
I'll never push to hard
I won't control your path
I'll just stand on by
And let you come to me
When you crash and burn
My arms will be open
You can run back any time
Know child that I love you
I want you to seek comfort
In my warm embrace
Know that you are loved
Know that you are mine

Lord, Why

Down upon my knees
Crying out to the Lord above
Can't you see
I'm dying inside
Can't you see these sins in me
How could you love
A wretch like me
I can't understand
Why you would die for me
Why do you love me
I'm so full of sin
I'm not even close to perfect
How can you love me
I'm drowning in my sins
Yet you look right through
Its like you see
Another side of me
One clean and pure
One more in your image
Is that why you love me
Because you can see past my sin
Lord I'm crying out to you
Tell me why

Wide Awake

Another night
I'm wide awake
I'm thinking of you
Can't get you off my mind
I miss you too much
It's driving me mad
I can't sleep
Without you by my side
Baby I can't dream
Without seeing your face
Every night I need to hear
Your voice whisper quietly in my ear
Baby I love you
Sweet dreams and good night

Restored

Bring me back to life
The one before the fall
When Adam and Eve
Walked in the garden
Side by side with You
Before Satan appeared
When all was perfect
And the fruit of the tree of Knowledge untouched
When they saw you face to face
When sin was unheard of
Life a harmony
Nothing was broken
I want to live that life
Father with You
I want to live
In Your kingdom
Restored

Lost Lovers

You and I are meant to be
Lost lovers forever
Constantly searching
Until the end of time
Never seeing
Whats right before our eyes
The love we share
Missed by the rushing clock
Separated through space and time
Until your heart
Combines with mine

Tonight We Will Dream

We will dream tonight
Of all the pretty lights
The ones we see
On the television screen
They look so bright
But they have no color
Our dreams in black and white
Show the shades of gray
But hide the truth
Those lights cover up
All the sin and destruction
Going on in the city
We can't see
What those shades of gray keep covered
But we dream nonetheless
Of our lives
Surrounded by those lights
They look so happy
Everything looks perfect
Tonight we'll dream
Of the shades of gray
Dimming out our sins
Making our lives
Look better than they are
Tonight we will dream

Under This Old Tree

Under this old tree
I dream of a day
When the world is right
Under this old tree
I see Jesus descending
Reclaiming what is His
Under this old tree
I hear a melodious chorus
Sing praises to our King
Under this old tree
God has given me visions
Hope for the future
Under this old tree
I see children free and safe
Running and laughing
Under this old tree
I sing of glory
Praises to my Savior
Under this old tree
I pray to God above
That his kingdom would return
Under this old tree
I know that I am saved
I know Jesus died for me
Under this old tree
His blood was poured
For all the world to see
On this old tree
Jesus hung for our sins
And gave us eternal life
On this old tree
I follow after Christ
Crucifying my flesh daily
