You live in a million places
Your fingerprints can be seen on a million faces
There is a trace of You in every hallelujah
Every song that I sing

And for love of You, I'm a sky on fire
And because of You, I come alive
It's Your sacred heart within me beating
Your voice within me singing out

For love of You, oh, for love of You
It's all You, yeah

You are the highway I travel
'Cause I watched You carve streets of gold from the sand and gravel
I gave You brokenness, You gave me innocence
And now this road leads to glory

And for love of You, I'm a sky on fire
And because of You, I come alive
And it's Your sacred heart within me beating
Your voice within me singing out

For love of You, yeah

You are my deepest longing and so I see You everywhere
It's You I'm chasin' after
'Cause I am captivated by who You are and how You move
I'll follow You forever

For love of You, I'm a sky on fire
Because of You, I come alive, yeah
For love of You, I'm a sky on fire
Because of You, I come alive

It's Your sacred heart within me beating
Your voice within me singing out
For love of You, oh, for love of You
Oh, so, for love of You, God

And everything I do
Oh, so, for the love of You, You

. . .


Yeah these are old shoes that I've been walking in
I'm wearing weary like it's a second skin
I've been looking for a place to lay my head

All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger
I've been wandering
All my life you've been calling me
To a home you know I've been needing

I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house you're building
(Yeah for me)

You are a shelter for every misfit soul
We are the four walls and you're the cornerstone
You are
And you're the solid rock that we are built upon

And all this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger
I've been wandering
And all my life you've been calling me
To a home you know that I've been needing

I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house you're building

'Cause in you I find my meaning, yeah
And in you I find my beauty

All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger
I've been wandering
All my life you've been calling me
To a home you know I've been needing

All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger
I've been wandering
All my life you've been calling me
To a home you know I've been needing
I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house you're building

Lay me in the house you're building
In the house you're building

. . .

Breaking Through

[No lyrics]

. . .


When all the world is blossoming
When everything around is bursting into life
And I don't have to strain to hear the beat of Your heart
Oh, Oh

When all the world is under fire
and the skies are threatening to thunder and rain
And I am overcome by fears that I can't see
Oh, Oh

If everything is Yours
Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I'm letting it go
No it was never mine to hold

No, never mine

Who could command the stars to sing
Or hold the raging seas from breaking through the doors
Until the fragile roses wear the very same hand
Oh, Oh

If everything is Yours
Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I'm letting it go
I am, I'm letting it go
Letting go, I'm letting it go

Cause everything is Yours
Yeah everything is Yours
If everything is Yours, God
If everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I'm letting it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
It was never mine to hold
No, It was never mine, never mine
No

. . .


You dwell in the songs that we are singing,
Rising to the Heavens, rising to Your heart, Your heart.
Our praises filling up the spaces
In between our frailty and everything You are
You are the keeper of my heart

And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
Oh God, I wanna rest in You

Oh, speak now for my soul is listening
Say that You have saved me, whisper in the dark, the dark.
'Cause I know You're more than my salvation
Without you I am hopeless, tell me who You are
You are the keeper of my heart
You are the keeper of my heart

And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You, Oh
I wanna rest in You

Still my heart, hold me close
Let me hear, a still small voice
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry

Still my heart, hold me close
Let me hear, a still small voice
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry

And I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, let me rest in You
And I am restless, so restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You, Oh God
Let me rest in You.

. . .

Carry Me

[No lyrics]

. . .


I love you more than a slow falling summer rain
Or in the silence that only the snow leaves behind
I love you more

And I love you better than the gray of the autumn air
Better than the spring in it's blooming against the sky
I love you more

It may not be red as a rose is yet
It may not be strong as the old oak trees
But love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be

Your love is steady and sure as a mountain's high
Moving my heart like a river that gently bends
Your love is sure

Your love is wide open spaces where I can run
And yet we're tangled up roots in the warm broken earth
Yeah our love is sure

And it may not be clear as a morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea
But love given freely becomes what it ought to be

And it may not be clear as a morning yet
It may not be wide as a restless sea
And it may not be red as a rose is yet
It may not be strong as the old oak trees
But love planted deeply becomes what it ought to and
Hearts given freely become what they ought to and
Love planted deeply becomes what it ought to be
What it ought to be

Come Clean

[No lyrics]

. . .


Oh won't you show what you're feeling
Is it too much to ask that your heart be revealing
Just a little bit, Oh just a little bit, just a little

I don't think I've ever informed you I love you desperately
Even while I only know you just a little bit
Oh, just a little bit, just a little

Oh how'd we get so disconnected?
My heart is shutting down, I just can't let it

So I'll run forward and pray you fall back
Grace will come and clear your path, yeah
I'll run forward and you fall back
Come back

Oh you treat your time like you own it
It's slipping fast away, and you're not getting younger
Not even a bit, no not even a bit, no not at all

This love is a battle we're fighting, you've laid your armor down
Oh and now I can't fight it
Not even a bit, no not even a bit, no not at all

Oh, you took your love for granted
But, oh, it never left you for a second

So I'll run forward and pray you fall back
Grace will come and clear your path, yeah
I'll run forward and you fall back
Oh I'll run forward and you fall back

You made me afraid
Thank you I've gotta thank you
Cause now I know His strength
Thank you, Oh God I thank You
So please don't run away, no, don't go

So I'll run forward and pray you run back
Grace will come and clear my path, yeah
I'll run forward if you run back
Yeah I'll run forward if you run back

Oh I'll run forward and you fall back
Come back
I'll pray you come back, my love, come back
And grace will come to clear your path
Oh I'll run forward if you fall back
Come back, my love, come back

. . .


You could plant me like a tree beside a river
You could tangle me in soil and let my roots run wild
And I would blossom like a flower in the desert
But for now just let me cry

You could raise me like a banner in the battle
Put victory like fire behind my shining eyes
And I would drift like falling snow over the embers
But for now just let me lie

Bind up these broken bones
Mercy burn and bring me back to life
But not before you show me how to die

Set me like a star before the morning
Like a sun that steals the darkness from a world asleep
And I'll illuminate the path You've laid before me
But for now just let me be

Bind up these broken bones
Mercy burn and bring me back to life
But not before You show me how to die
No, not before You show me how to die

So let me go like a leaf upon the water
Let me brave the wild currents flowing to the sea
And I will disappear into a deeper beauty
But for now just stay with me
God, for now just stay with me
