Sticks & Stones

You've had the sticks and stones
But you've got steel in your bones
And now your heart ain't alone
It's drowing in a joy that overflows
You've got the love inside
In you the Lord confides
And as you lay your life down
His love will wrap itself around you, saying:
Oh that's what she deserves
There's no greater love than a laid down life
And that's what you deserve
Your heart is getting free
It starts to feel his beat
You follow, he leads,
And his dust will settle on your feet
Oh that's what she deserves
There's no greater love than a laid down life
And that's what you deserve
Hear the words he speaks
You're worth the breath he breathed
He gave his blood so we could learn to bleed

For Love

This time, I'll go anywhere my love
As far as I need to drive
Though distance ain't on my side
I'd go anywhere for love
It's not long 'til both of our paths align
Our fingers and hearts and heart intertwined
Then with our steps in time
We'll go anywhere my love
Anywhere our steps are lead to fall
I'll walk, I'll run, I'll crawl
Three sets of footprints through it all
We'll go anywhere my love
We'll go anywhere for love
An old car, small towns and dusty roads
People to get to know
We'll go where the wind says go
We'll go anywhere my love
Anywhere our steps are lead to fall
I'll walk, I'll run, I'll crawl,
three sets of footprints through it all
We'll go anywhere my love
We'll go anywhere for love
Let's take all we have
our hearts and the years left
and leave all the rest
that ties us to our death
and take on the road
'til God calls us home
let's see where we can go

Rocks & Rags

We've got our pockets full of rock and rags
We can't seem to make 'em shine
for the dirt on our hands
We've got our castles made of air and sand
but we're no wiser than a washed up man, but luckily -
Grace ain't leaving us behind
she loves me for another day
and when I can't do nothing right
she loves me for it anyway
She puts her hand inside of mine
Grace ain't leaving us behind
We're bruised and beaten, our blackened faces raw
We just keep on digging down
'til our backs are bent and sore
and our hands feel empty unless they search for more
but we miss the hand that's reaching out to save us all
but luckily -
Grace ain't leaving us behind
she loves me for another day
and when I can't do nothing right
she loves me for it anyway
She puts her hand inside of mine
Grace ain't leaving us behind
Grace is leading
Grace and mercy lead us home

Ears burn, hearing a tune
Enticed, so my neck turns to you
Oh love, I can't see where you are
Hopeful, I chase you were you blew - where you blew right past me
I've been waiting for so long
For you to wake me with your song
I've been dead lately
Love come embrace me
I break from marching with army
Pursuing a narrow pinch of soul
Aching for some inclination, for some vision
Praying for nobody else's song
I've been waiting for so long
For you to wake me with your song
I've been dead lately
Love come embrace me
I'm tracing your shaping
Love come and change me
I'm chasing, I'm chasing
Love come and change me

You (Acoustic)

Her hair is dancing like the fire
That burns much higher than she can see
In her palms she has the power
When they're open to receive
You
The flame it burns as though the furnace
Of the sun is in his heart
Heaven's highway now is open
It waited 'til his arms were cast apart
For you
All we are is found on our knees
All we are is wood for burning
All we have is hearts to spread your fire
Hearts to burn for you

A promise kept, asking to be broken
Tugs my chest, so I anchor my attention
As I stay, resting in the fire
Thoughts aflame and the ash is floating higher
I'm waiting for you, waiting for you
Every day you're closer, so I'm waiting for you
Praying for you to save my smoking soul
Fumbling for a bolt, to loosen and give me exit
'Cause sometimes I'm losing hope in this fire that's testing
but my soul is resting in you
I'm waiting for you, waiting for you
Every day you're closer, so I'm waiting for you
Praying for you to save my smoking soul
I'm burning
I'm holding on to the hint of a breath in my lungs
As I'm burning
