Those Days

Wait, there are ghosts in my pictures

Seems like time can take things from you

I’m sure feeling bare isn’t barren

But sometimes I fear I’ll fade too

‘Cause it was those days

When I felt alive

Yeah, it was those nights

When I used to cry

But most of all

I learned to hear Your voice

Told me my best days are

Told me my best days are ahead

I’ve got my eyes on the prize and I won’t go back

The past is in the past

I’m moving on from that

I say hello to the future and I’m right on track

My heart’s under attack

But I will fight right back

Waiting on a dream can be lonely

But praying waters my hope to bloom

Memories, I’ll keep like an heirloom

But destiny, I’m coming for you

Be With You

If I had one request, one desire

It would be to be with You

Faithful One, Faithful One

Who am I that You would choose?

I don’t deserve a love like You

Because You know my shame

Still You remove it to the furthest place

So I will not bring you an empty praise

I’ll bring You my broken heart

Would You stay right here

Just a little longer

Stay right here

In this eternal moment

Life is clear

Just a little longer

Stay right here

Oasis

I thought by now I’d be a little closer

If I turn around, I’ll never touch what I dream

I look ahead and I think I see the future

But in the wild, nothing is what it seems

Sitting here on a coaster flyin’ away

Brought my fears way up here, but you blew it away

Didn’t know no control would make me feel so free

Yeah, I feel so free

You’re my Oasis

In hopeless places

The desert surrounding

Still Your love found me

Ran out of hope, so You ran to me

Ran into walls, You were my breach

I fell from grace, You were my safety

I found God in places you wouldn’t think

At places between where I’m going and where I used to be

I feel like I’m nowhere, but I’m just right where You want me

I could see fire, hear a voice just like Moses from the places in between

See it’s those hours we’re alone when it’s quiet enough to hear You speak

Broken Man

I'm done with diamonds in the rough

What doesn't kill me might not make me tough

I'm over words that I don't need

Show me a word that I can see

Take me down a better road

Love me like you mean it though

I can't make it to the end

if I'm on my own again

I'm a broken man

And I was hoping that

You could take me higher

Pull me through the fire

When I'm a broken man

And I was hoping that

You could take me higher

Pull me through the fire

When I'm a broken man

Shake me 'til I'm shaken up

Then would You drown my fears in perfect love

Ima close my eyes to see

When I'm fighting on my knees

I see You, You're reaching

The Constant I'm needing

It's Jesus my heart has been missing

You make it so easy to love You

You love me

I've never been so sure of something.
