Stay

Sometimes the World calls
and I feel myself slipping back
But then your voice whispers
Why would you want that?

The more I think about it now
The less I wanna go
All I know is
You're exactly where
I want to go

And I'm so thankful for your grace
I'm leaning heavily on your embrace

Stay, all I wanna do is stay
In your holy hands,
With an eternal love
That will never go away

Stay, all I wanna do is stay
Stay, all I wanna do is stay
Stay, all I wanna do is stay
Stay, all I wanna do is stay

It's hard when I feel the tug
of thorns in my side
When I struggle with wrong
When I know what's right

And I'm so thankful for your grace
I'm leaning heavily on your embrace

Stay, all I wanna do is stay
In your holy hands,
With an eternal love
That will never go away

Stay, all I wanna do is stay
Stay, all I wanna do is stay
Stay, all I wanna do is stay
Stay, all I wanna do is stay

Lead me

I’m going hungry over here,

So desperate to connect the line,

Between wholesome and a good time.

And maybe there’s a place for both,

So Jesus take my hand,

And lead me forth,

I want to leave the old me in the past,

And walk forward in your path,

Because your yoke is light and easy,

And I love the promise you forecast.

Too Much Honesty

These memories swirl like the flurries outside,

Burning me with every touch,

And do you remember me at all,

Or are you happy with her?

Every time I start to think about it,

I can’t help but get angry all over again,

Cause if you fell out of love,

I thought you’d at least treat me like a friend.

So when you look at that ring,

I hope you think of me,

I hope you think of me,

I hope you think of me.

I hate that I gave you the power to make me cry,

But never the strength to say goodbye,

Left me with nothing but questions,

When all I wanted was an honest confession.

And the worst part is,

Through it all, I realized I was never in love with you,

I just wanted that perfect picturesque life,

So I let myself get destroyed,

Chasing an illusion of being a wife.

You can be my hero

Sometimes the past sneaks in,
and burns your mouth,
scours on its way down,
and circles your heart again,
but then Jesus steps in,
and you remember His love,
it's a grand love, the greatest love.

And I can breathe again,
I can breathe again,
the horrors of the past,
can come to an end,

because you can be my hero,
you can be my hero,
you take my pain down to a zero,
yes, you can be my hero.

Oh, my savior, how I love your grace,
and how your mercy,
puts a smile on my face,
now I know, yes, I know,
I can let it all go.

And I can breathe again,
I can breathe again,
the horrors of the past,
can come to an end,

because you can be my hero,
you can be my hero,
you take my pain down to a zero,
yes, you can be my hero.

Renewal

Reaching for a dream that cannot exist,

Life has a funny way of breaking down my elements…

Even those that are strong and beautiful must fall,

Failure is what gives rise to the Phoenix

Because from the ashes come beauty,

Renewal.

As I redefine who I am,

I reach for your mirage and cringe

When you spurn my touch,

My friendship is a disease to you.

The lion ate the lamb…

But in the most tender of ways.

He fed on my heart, his delicacy was my release.

I relish the ashes.  I dream of the Phoenix.

And foolishly, I welcome back the lion…

Taken Hold

Fall leaves rustle at my feet,

While winter coats the world in white,

You’re long gone with the chances I wanted,

But I still hold on tight.

My stubborn intuition is confused this time,

As regret reminds me of the chances I wasted,

And maybe all along you never woulda cared,

Nothing would have come if they’d a’ been taken.

Do you believe in second chances, do you believe in fate?

If given the chance, would you ask me on a date?

The heart never quits

What coulda been gives me fits

I hold on to a crush

that I can’t let go

It’s a foolish dream

but its taken hold

It’s a foolish dream

but its taken hold

My confidence falters whenever you’re near

I guess rejection is the base of my fear

That shaky, nervous way my knees shake,

The dub step pickup of my heart rate

Do you believe in second chances, do you believe in fate?

If given the chance, would you ask me on a date?

The heart never quits

What coulda been gives me fits

I hold on to a crush

That I can’t let go

It’s a foolish dream

but its taken hold

It’s a foolish dream

but its taken hold

The heart never quits

What coulda been gives me fits

I hold on to a crush

that I can’t let go

It’s a foolish dream

but its taken hold

It’s a foolish dream

but its taken hold

Lies

I wanna lay my head on your chest

And let your arms take my fears away

But you won’t be pulling me close

Because apparently your feelings faded.

And just like all the others,

I put more into this than you,

And when you tell me things

Like I just want you to be happy

I feel like you never gave a damn.

Because I was happiest when you were mine

I was happiest when I was the apple of your eye

I was in love with you and you let it fall apart

I worked so hard to put the pieces together

But you went with her and broke my heart.

So take another sip from the bottle

To remind me that’s all that you love

And I will cut back my tomorrows

Thinking of how to save you

When all along maybe I’m the one needing to be saved

Saved from a love that doesn’t exist

Saved from a man I can’t kiss

Saved from a broken heart no one can mend

Send me send me send me

One more dead end relationship

Send me one more person with one sided love

Send me one more selfish man

Who can tear me apart

Who can re-break my heart

You see, I was happiest when you were mine

I was happiest when I was the apple of your eye

I was in love with you and you let it fall apart

I worked so hard to put the pieces together

But you went with her and broke my heart.

Yeah, you went with her and broke my heart.

I should have seen you from the start,

I should have known this’d fall apart,

So send me one more selfish guy,

Because loves just a lie.

All In

 I keep beating myself up

When I put myself out there

Flailing on the edge of honesty

When you don’t care

I can’t help but fall for your beautiful eyes

So hold me close and wrap me in your lies

Cause I’m over the edge

I’m already in too deep

Take my heart, take my soul,

They’re yours to keep

If this is love then I’m all in

If this is a game then you win.

I’ll cherish every word that you say

Even when I know you’re pulling away

Call me weak, ‘cause I’m giving my all

Or maybe I’m just ready to fall

I can’t help but fall for your beautiful eyes

So hold me close and wrap me in more of your lies

Cause I’m over the edge

I’m already in too deep

Take my heart, take my soul,

They’re yours to keep,

If this is love then I’m all in,

If this is a game then you win.

Take it all, it’s yours to keep,

I’ll wash in the tears I weep,

Give me the words you said,

I’ll play them again and again,

I can’t help but fall for your beautiful eyes

So hold me close and wrap me in your lies

Cause I’m over the edge

I’m already in too deep

Take my heart, take my soul,

They’re yours to keep,

If this is love then I’m all in,

If this is a game then you win.
