I was high upon the cliffs and I looked down below
And I fell from the heights I was at
I know you're far away and it hurts me every day
To know that you should be holding me
So as I fall fast from the point I once knew
And as I drift so softly to the sand
I can dream of nothing less than your warmth and tenderness
As I hold you close there's nothing I'd rather do
As I tumble to the ocean and the river in my life
I want you by me in the ebb and flow
I know there's nothing more than what we've had before
So I hold you close, just say that you love me
The beauty of the earth
Has smiled on the ground
And the ocean of the heart
Has come to its fall
The music of our minds
Sounds fearful and untrue
But we know that it's yours
You are all we have
The unbroken melody of faith rings
And the chimes of autumn are past
The glory of your knowledge
Will last until the end.
Until the summer has left
And we are no more
Your breath, your love divine
Our call is swifter still.
Memories are made of the best things
As life will flow from me to you
Encouraging from one to another
Our friendship is something so true
Life has a funny way of giving to us
And you are all a special gift to me
I hope that you will all know today
How great my love for you will be
I hope you bright and shiny morrows
Filled with springs of joy and beauty
I pray you will know a good day
And live in the Lord most fully
Just to starve for righteousness
Just to give my hopes and dreams to this
Taking away the unrelenting nature of me
Putting in its place a new reality
Keeping off the shames in past
Rising up I can stand firm in his arms
And I know theres so much more he wants of me
Giving me hope and a freedom indeed
Now I seek Him in His truth
And his word protects my heart enlightening me
To the dreams he shared with me of my life
And I know he's watching me
Rise up in his word
Keep the Lord pure
Holy is his name
Sanctify it with your praise
I'm so tired of screwing up
I'm so tired of falling down
And the world is falling apart day by day
So I long for your touch
And you know I haven't much
But I give it to you all in every way
I've seen your heart for the lost
And I know you paid the cost
For my life without you is nothing
In a faded pane of glass
Your light can save the mass
So cleanse me, Lord, so they can see clearly
I'm so weak and never strong
And my right is often wrong
My mission is so jaded in those days
I cannot refuse to live
For you my life I give
So fill me up and use me without delay
You know the hardest part of life
Is not the wrong but it's the right
How can I carry it on faithfully
Oh, take my full control
Take my body, my mind, and my soul
Empty me of what I used to be, sanctity
Now I am in your control
And I know you'll use me whole
I want to be lost in your grace so faithfully
I can't deny the truth
The innocence of youth
Has been reborn within the light of me
Check me Lord and prove me true
I'm so in love with you
And I want to be the one who carries on
So I end my every will
And the pride that can kill
I've lost in love a perfect love from God
I was tired of screwing up
I was tired of falling down
Cause the world is falling apart day by day
So I longed for your touch
And you know I haven't much
Still I give it to you all in every way
I see an ocean tremble with it's mighty roar
And no one knows the pleasure found in
Serving Jesus with the whole in the Lord
So then I ask and question, "Why can't I?"
Now, where can I turn when you don't seem here
Where is my outlet to drive away all my fear?
How can I possibly try to run away from my gods
And serve you fully in every single and every day
My mind is flustered by my fantasies in youth
Longing for something else, a better kind of truth
And now I'm missing it all, I just can't understand
How can there be a plan or a visible 'godly' hand
But I give up my self and now I burst on in
I feel fresh and anointed and I'm given a second wind
Now I don't trouble, because I know of his love
I cannot hide or shrink back, of his beautiful touch
The memories we've made
Will last me when I'm blue
The gentleness you've shown
Will comfort me when I'm sad
I'm happy cause I've known you
And happier to have known Him
It's great that I have known you both
And known Him more cause you
I'm happy when I sound depressed
And laughter dies down inside
I love you and I love my God
I find the perfect rest
Was He all that I ever wanted?
Was He all that I ever needed?
Yes, He was and even moreso
He was the life of all of me.
So I can thank Him for the unknown
And I can thank Him for the deep uncharted sea
I can thank Him because I don't know the answers
That's what makes life worth living, you see
When you can't hold on anymore
And you need to escape from the world
Just remember who to turn to
And he'll take your pain if you want Him to
A pain grows and lingers
And it cannot be quenched
It shrinks and grows within me
But it never goes away
It rips my heart apart
And radiates to my arms
It makes me wonder if I'll die
Or if it's just a start
So now I will just sit here
And wonder where it'll go
Will it eventually cure my heart
Or give the final blow
When there's hope a newborn baby sings a sweet song
When there's hope a mother leans toward her new son
Like a rushing wind, it never ends as we still sing along
When there's a hope the hourney has only just begun
I can sing of the mountains and the seas
But I know that they're only in my dreams
So I go to a place where I only see your face
And it brings me back to you, cause I have hope
As I've traveled through the mystical life
Putting off the childish things that had me blind
Stepping forward beyond the past and there I stand
And my heart is cured because there is hope
Ever after, I'll be a memory of what could be
And I'll go to a place where all my troubles have left
Far beyond the universe where I meet with my God
And I had it all for the love that's in hope
How can I say I love you?
When you seem so far from me.
How can I say I miss you?
When I know that you love me.
The hardest part is the pain I feel
Cause my heart is sad and weak
My pain it is oh so very real
And my eyes are dim and bleak
The future never looks as bright
As what is was meant to be
Joy, I wish for, with all my might
I want for you to be near me
