Old memories are never fleeting
And I can't coax them away
My perspectives are all changing
Still I hesitate 'til it goes stray
I don't want to live that life anymore
I want to be something else
Though my world and dreams shatter
By myself I can't live here
So where do I run when I'm hidden
And where does the mystery end?
I can't believe the hurt I'm given
Moreso, I can't believe what I give
Just to think back to the time of birth
Every heart and mind set upon the wonder
So many people praying for the best but
Unknown is the future and how it will be
So we tread upon the ground laid out for us
Life can be hard and cruel sometimes
Only if we leave God out of it and
Very jagged the cliffs of our lives may be so
Everyone stumbles now and then but
Someone greater than us calls us on
Years go by and we still hurt everyday
Only He can wipe away all of those tears and
Unchanging is He in every way
You make me smile when the rain comes so hard
You make me laugh when I've fallen overboard
And the best thing of all that you have ever done
Is to love me and show me that Jesus was the Son
It doesn't matter how much we quarrel and fight
It doesn't matter how often I'm wrong and you're right
It's a newborn fallacy; It's the way things should be
Make it what it can be; a new reality; It's a cosmic mystery
Just to know a tender smile makes the world come undone
Just as the beauty of all things inside you has begun
For a moment in time is not worth all the compromise
We will look far better than the world in His eyes
Every step of the way shows a new path to trod
Every breath that we take we should praise and thank God
We don't have to make the choices others have made
And I'm thankful as you're thankful of the price Jesus paid
So with this thought I say I love you my dearest deepest friend
So I love you much more than simple logic can comprehend
And now I pray that we get stronger and better everyday
Since hHe loves and guides us we can follow and obey
Sometimes the sun trickles down little rays
And the ocean brings water to the shores
So my heart longs for you like these memories
And my cup within me waiths to be filled
Quench my thirst and teach me never to need again
Take my mind my sould my strength and all I am
Pour Your blessed hands upon me and teach me how to grow
Love me like you've never loved before
I have passed tests of life that seemed so great
And my life has become a jagged dagerous cliff
I search for you alone like a song sung by an eagle
And my soul needs to feel your every call
I can't wait one more day to have your holiness
And I need to know that you have complete control
So use me Lord and break me of all that I ever was
And let me know you'll bring me to the well
I can't live without you
When you should be near
And still I'm afraid of it
When I know I shouldn't fear
Cause I need you here beside me
And I need you here right now
All I want is for the good things
Yet I still don't know how
But yesterday it seemed so clear
When you were still in love with me
And that was all that mattered it seemed
Oh, how great your love could be!
I miss you more than anything that I have ever known
I miss your gentle laughter and the love that you've shown
I miss the way you smile at me and how you know me well
I miss the caring in your voice and joy no one can tell
I miss your loving eyes and how they sparkle with joy
I miss you when I feel useless, and my talents you employ
I miss your gracefulness and tact and all those things I lack
I miss your pushing me on and on whenever I want to slack
I miss your beauty far beyond anything man could ever know
I miss you in the ice and wind; in the rain and in the snow
I miss you cause of who you are and what you've meant to me
I miss you cause of all of those strange things you see in me
When was it ever wrong to say I love you
How it made me strong to know love
Where did I go wrong cause I loved you
Why is it all gone; gone my love to you
Everyday I walk alone reaching for hope
Looking back on all my worry and pride
I see your face amidst a million tears
You know it still hurts me when you cry
I am happy with my life as it is
I can be strong in myself
I turn away to tomorrow's hope for me
I will go on; on to better things
Singing a new song for your hopes and dreams
Making you strong with a new love
Go further on with passion and faith
Strike! Move along; a long and winding road
Please give it back, the thing that you stole
You took me for granted; you took my control
Now I feel naked; I don't quite feel whole
So please give it back; Myy heart and my soul
I can't recall how beautiful you are
I can't remember the reason we're apart
All that I know; wherever you are
You take me on; you tore me apart
I loved you so much more than I should
And all along, I thought it was good
Now I'm bleeding and it strengthens me
I want to live; to die; to be free
Everyday is a heap in the trash of life
I asked you to be my very only wife
And now you jaded me and killed my soul
Won't you give me back just a piece of control
Sometimes in our journey of life it is hard
And we don't know exactly where we can start
But we know in the heavens a greater on is there
He cares about us; our burdens he'll share
Tomorrow is only one day from now
Tomorrow I'll smile and I'll wipe off this frown
Tomorrow I know I'll think of yesterday
So right now, I'm glad it's today
My soul is on fire for a cause that is true
He keeps me on flame if to him I cling to
But of all the mysteries in life it's unfair
To love someone so much and not be there
So now I must press on the upward way
Striving to conquer the arrows that slay
It's important to know a redeemer who lives
So I'll take with me all of the power He gives
