"I Want to Know You"
Times are getting harder, it's so hard to see
Days are getting longer, there's no sign of peace
People keep on searching, but they're so blind by sin
There's to much pride at stake, for them all to just give in
And everyone is worried, that they've made the same mistake
The one that they swore, that they'd never make
And everyone is hungry, and everyone is poor
I know I need to do my part, but I need to do so much more

And it's hard to keep on going
when you know everyone is lost
You have the answer for them
but they just won't pay the cost
I just don't understand it
I feel so ashamed
There's so much more for me to do
so why do I feel this way

I want to know You
I want to know Your heart
I want to know You Lord
I want to love You
Father let me do my part
I want to serve You Lord

Time and time goes on, the drugs still being used
Friends have passed away, drunk and abused
No sign of it stopping, I don't what to do
I pray and wait for Your replay, but I feel I am no use
So won't You tell me something, just tell me what to do
Have I ever felt this empty, just waiting here for You
I need Your motivation, a loving touch of help
It's hard to go on, when it seems you're going on by yourself

I want to know You
I want to know Your beating heart
I want to know You Lord
I want to love You
Father let me do my part
I want to love You Lord
I am on my knees
I am so humble, I am Yours
Lord show me where to start
I lift up my voice
I lift up everything I am
Lord tear my selfishness apart


"The turning of time"
I had to see it
it was make believe with
something I once felt
a hand I'd been delt
Now it's hard carry on

Just like with old times
He was a friend of mine
Someone I trusted
but now that I've lost Him
It is so hard out on my own

It's exactly how I feel
I can't help it
It's the hand that I must deal
No way around it

Now that I look back
over what I had
I wish I kept You
but I forsaked You
Now it's so hard to carry on

But then You came back
Your love was all You had
Even though I did so wrong
You didn't care at all
You just stood there open armed


"Seventeen & Searching"
Seventeen & not sure
you're not sure who to be
Now your friends are smoking
having sex and drinking
and you are searching
but you're so much at a loss
you know you don't want to do what they do
but can you afford that cost?

Seventeen & searching
yes you are searching out
so afraid of finding
what your life's all about
and your not sure
who you are
or where you might fit in
but there's One called Jesus Christ
and He saved my life from sin

I once had walked that road
but it's lonely and sickening
there's no peace in alcohol
the peace that God can bring
So turn away and don't give in
to satan's twister lies
for his ways are dangerous
and can ruin your life


"A Typical Life"
Wake up each morning,
it's 6:00 am
And so I'm told,
this is where my day begins
And I'm so tired of just
wasting my life
I guess it's time I start living for Christ
start living for Christ

And I don't want the Presidency
Middle class is ok for me
Past eighth grade, what do I need?
I guess I'm just tired of life
the same old typical life.

Breakfast at 7:00,
it's coffee for me
Is this the fake person
you want me to be?
Get real good grades,
yeah that's important to you
But what's important to me is loving,
you know who.

9:00 pm
and it's time for bed
so I'm told,
this is where my day ends
Stop to pray
as I kiss goodnight
But you always have it
your way
It's the same thing
everyday
I guess I'm tired of the Typical life


"You Should Have Told Me"
No one told me about here
so how was I to know
I guess my friends just didn't care
or were to afraid to live the life that would show

And now I'm going through
this trial in my life
Cause no one led me to
the One that they call Christ
so tell me now, what am I to do?
I'm just waiting for my chance
to come be down there with you

So now I am in hell
and whoever said heavens up, and hell is down
whoever said it must have been confused
Now I'm just wishing for the chance
to come live down there with you

When will I be able to come back down?
When will I be able to come back down?
When will I be able to kiss your crown?
When will I be able to come back down?

You should have told me
Why didn't, why didn't someone tell me!!??!


"I Can't find my Way"
I sought You
Despite my disgrace
And You asked me,
to fall flat on my face
And I saw...
Your face of love
and all of Your grace and mercy
from above

But I can't find my way
I can't find my way
Giving in to what the world has to say
And I can't find my way

So I went on
On by myself
I wouldn't give in
to the blue book on the shelf
And I knew
what it had to say
But it was to much guilt
to bayer along the way

At night
I stretched out my hands
But they refused to be comforted
You kept my eyes from closing
Wouldn't let my mouth speak
And You reminded me of times
that You forgave me

And now I'm flat on my face
I'm choking on the tears
I thought of former days
I thought of former years
Where would I be
Cause I'm nothing without You
Could I be anything?
Anything, without You?

I am nothing without You
I am nothing without You
Where would I be without You?
Here, I stand alone. Without You
