Me: If I could only stare directly into the sun so bright If I could only step directly into the ocean’s tide If I could only stretch my arms up directly toward the sky If I could only look directly into both of your eyes I know I’m fine in your eyes Like a child in your eyes God: I’ve been missing you I have missed your smile Since you’ve been gone Welcome home!

When did I stop listening And where did I go wrong I’ve been searching for my fortune But left behind my soul I’ve been looking for that gold Some treasure bought and sold It always fades away I’ve been working for my ego In love with what I’ve made Now I’m searching for some wisdom In hopes that it can be undone Now I’m a richer man Much more than I could have been Your treasure brings me hope Your love won’t let me go Your love won’t fade away Your treasure brings me hope Your love won’t let me go Now I’m a richer man Much more than I could have been Your love won’t fade away

Wonderful today Wonderful always From the start to the finish Wonderful along the way Beautiful you are Beautiful you’ll stay You have come to light my way Beautiful through all my days You are my friend You are my lord

The Path 03:01
You gave me legs to walk One among the flock Yet I still, I wonder from this hill You gave me hands to work To build where darkness lurks Yet I wait, I wasted all my time All of my life I have worked so hard to make myself Into something I’m not Now I can see By the Son my Lord has given me I will walk the path He paved for me Teach me how to speak Wisdom that I seek My ears they hear Please help me understand All of my life I have worked so hard to make myself Into something I’m not Now I can see By the Son my Lord has given me I will walk the path He paved for me All of my life You have waited there so patiently For my heart to break Now I am free From this weight that has been bearing down Now I am finally awake
5.
All My Days 04:22
Asleep again another day has come to end Another chance for love that I have yet to spend The gift of grace for us to freely receive But thoughts of doubt and failure quickly deceive We are young our hearts of fun Born to run against the wind We don’t see and try to flee We’re born to run against the wind Don’t want to be fading old and hazy I want to be praising you all my days! I don't deserve the love that you poured out on me Jesus, so patiently you listen to my pleas We are a generation caught up in the race In you I lay my head you are my resting place
6.
We’ve been searching for the answers to this world we live in all along the way I’ve been walking all alone a western desert empty trying to find my way I was awakened from my sleep Somewhere on the way They’ve been talking all about the ways that Jesus saved us calling it the way Such a pure love that God himself would smile upon me that he would die for me Waking the people from their sleep All along the way He longs to see your face Free, He died in our place Now I’m waiting I’ll be waiting right here for my king waiting for my king To lift me up form this dark so deep On that glorious day He longs to see your face Free, He died in our place

Been Gone 03:58
And they say you will Not change your mind Why should you? Now you’re leaving home Out there on your own But home is still home You’re having the time of your life But you miss everyone “How long have I been gone”? You’re feeling yourself change From what you were yesterday Is that so wrong? Though friends may come and go There’s one thing you should know You’re not alone This is the best time of your life Why are you feeling low? Relax you’re not alone no You’re having the best time of your life But you miss everyone “How long have I been gone”?
