There's always a better way
There's always a bridge that needs crossing
There's always the straight and the narrow
The wide and the shallow
But I know that You're guiding me
And the best is yet to come
You've given me hope for tomorrow
And I know someday
I'll wake up to find
Your glory defined
I will finally bow at Your feet
I will lift up Your name
In Honor and Praise
When I cross over Jordan
I know that I'll be running home to you
It's always the simple things
It's always the obvious that crashes over me
It's always in front of me
It helps me to remember
That this is what I live for
And I can't wait
Until I wake up to find
Your glory defined
And I will finally bow at Your feet
I will lift up Your name
In honor and praise
When I cross over Jordan
I know that I'll be running home to You
There's never a question in Your message
Never a moment without Your presence
There's never a doubt in my mind
That I'll wake up to find
Your glory defined
And I will finally bow at Your feet
I will lift up Your name
In honor and praise
When I cross over Jordan

Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul
Lord why did you lead me here?
I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me
I know I'm not of this place, but its here and in my face
All that I am wants to run
God I feel hopeless and undone
Lift me up above it all
I'm feeling broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
Lift my heart above it all
I've lost my hope tonight
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
Lord lift me above it all
Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye
But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray
Cause these streets are hard and cold
And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness
And all the life that's been misspent
And all that I am wants to run
God I feel helpless and undone
Lift me up above it all
I'm feeling broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
Lift my heart above it all
I've lost my hope tonight
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
Lord lift me above it all
Bridge
Maybe I'm not supposed to fly
Maybe you want me here tonight
To lift them up above it all
When they're broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
Lift them up above it all
Cause they cannot stand alone
And they're praying for the strength to carry on
Lift us up above it all
When we're broken and alone
Don't let us turn to stone
Lift us up above it all
Because we cannot stand alone
And we're praying for the strength to carry on
. . .

Look at my heart again
Look at the mess I've got it in
I'm trying to trust in You
To know that you'll see me through
Through my pride
Through my shame
Into Your love
Into Your grace
I'm not looking back
Till I see Your face
& I'm running straight to You
Because
All I really want to do is to fall into
The emptiness that is
The space in-between us
To break this division
All I really want to do is to fall into
The emptiness that is
The space in-between us
Erase it and bring us together again
My life's like an open book
Nothing is hidden when you look
You break through my boundaries
Revealing my insecurities
But through my pride
And through my shame
You show me love
You show me grace
I'm not looking back
Till I see your face
& I'm running straight to you
Because
Here I am saying I need you
I know I need you
Here I am, I'm coming to meet you
. . .

All the little pieces of time
Are adding up to nothing again
You'd think I'd finally get this right
I think I've fought it one time to many
Just one time to many
I'm the king of nothing today
Looking up to heaven I call your name
Come on and change me
Cause you know what I need
Could you break away the ice frozen around my heart
Could you reach through
And help me to know you
Cause I'm stranded in this place
Falling on my face over and over again
I'm holding onto all my mistakes
Thinking I'm not worthy of your grace
I need to know you love me tonight
Cause I've fallen one time too many
Just one time to many
I'm the king of nothing today
Looking up to heaven I call Your name
Am I really worth the price you paid for me
I can't believe it?
I hear you say
That you'll change me
Cause yo know what I need
And You'll break away the ice frozen around my heart
And You'll reach through
And help me to know you
Cause standing in this place
Calling on your name over and over
Come on and change me
Cause you know what I need
Could you break away the ice frozen around my heart
Could you reach through
And help me to know you
Cause I'm stranded in this place
. . .

Tears burn like the flame of the fire
Words heart when they come from an empty heart
Then time stops like the hand of a broken clock
And everything that lit up your life is covered in the darkness
I know, I know
I feel your pain
I know, I know
When the world is closing in, you're breaking down
You're crying out but there is no answer
When you call, just close your eyes and know that
This twisted road eventually, is gonna lead you back to Me
Ice melts to reveal a frozen soul
And the water rises to new suffocating heights
And it feels like you're drowning in desperation
Cause everything that lit up your life has been covered in the darkness
I know I know
I feel your pain
I know I know, you know the way
When the world is closing in, you're breaking down
You're crying out but there is no answer
When you call, just close your eyes and know that
. . .

Sunrise on Sunset Beach
Finds me right where I watched it set
I spent the night inside myself
But I haven't found me yet
But I'm not running from you anymore
I'm not running from you anymore, no not anymore
Cause I believe that when I call for you
You hear the plea for my rescue
And You lift me up above the world I know
And I know that when I speak Your name
You hear my voice and send your saints
To cover me in the shadow of angels
I got caught in the memories
Cause they never fail to prove
I'm insecure and incomplete
It's a stinging point of truth
So I will never find the best of me
. . .

My world is closing in
On the inside
But I'm not showing it
When all I am is crying out
I hold it in and fake a smile
Still I'm broken
I'm broken
Only one can understand
And only one can hold the hand
Of the broken
Of the broken
When no one else knows how I feel
Your love for me is proven real
When no one else cares where I've been
You run to me with outstretched hands
And You hold me in your arms
Again
I need no explanation of why me
I just need confirmation
Only You could understand the emptiness inside my head
I am falling
I am falling
I'm falling down upon my knees
To find the one who gives me peace
I am flying
Lord I am flying
When no one else knows how I feel
Your love for me is proven real
When no one else cares where I've been
You run to me with outstretched hands
And You hold me in Your arms
Again
I have come to you in search of faith
Cause I can't see beyond this place
Oh You are God and I am man
. . .

The water rages on tonight
And the storm is hiding the skyline
I try to see the northern shore
But the waves are much higher than before
From the deep Lord
You are beckoning
You call out my name
Say don't be afraid cause I
I'm here just believe me
So I won't look at the waves
I'll look on your face and I
I'll walk when I see you
Lord give me faith
To never look away
Staring deep into you eyes
I'm standing by your strength
But fear and doubt they take my sight
And I begin to sink
Hear my plea Lord will you
Come rescue me
It's not that far to where you are
With outstretched arms you're calling out my name
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna fall
But you'll have my all
You've called me by name
And I'm not afraid
I'm here I believe you
I won't look at the waves
I'll look on your face and I
I'll walk when I see You
. . .

You took the part, hoping that it would be your break
Then you prayed to God you'd say your lines right
You looked so nice, cause you covered your face with maybeline
And hoped the light would make you shine
But you feel just like a puppet
Cause they're pulling all your strings
And you've become the person you swore you'd never be
Then the sky opens up
And the angels float down
They're singing, Heaven cover Angeline tonight
All over the Los Angeles
The lights are going down
And they're singing heaven cover Angeline tonight
So you ride the wave, cause everything is going fine today
Then you take a breath and wait for the next set
You write your name, and you cover the phrases with your tears
Cause maybe the water will blur the truth out
And you say that you're a loner
But I know you hate to be alone
And you say that you can't take it
Not one more day, not one more day
Then the sky opens up
And the angels float down
They're singing, Heaven cover Angeline tonight
All over the Los Angeles
The lights are going down
And they're singing heaven cover Angeline tonight
Bridge
Look at you, you're perfection in the making
Just look at you, you're believing all they're saying
. . .

Love is patient love is kind
You love me and you don't mind
When I'm not so perfect
You know I'm unrefined
My actions fail to show
And in spite of me you seem to know
That I only want to love you
I don't mean to be so cold
My words have cut you to the bone
But my heart still longs for you alone
Show me love, show me life, give me time
Because I want to shine in spite of who I am
Sow me love, give me time
Because I want to shine in spite of who I am
I know by you I'm justified
But still I can't seem to find the line
Where my works will match my faith
And I'll lay myself aside
My actions fail to show
And in spite of me you seem to know
That I only want to love you
I can't make it on my own
When my mind denies the love I know
My life sends nails through your bone
Bridge
I can't define your love but I need it
I need it yeah
I can't give enough of me but you want it
So I give it
I don't deserve your love but I have it
. . .

I still remember three feet tall
Standing next to you I felt so small
I would've walked a million miles
Just to see you look at me and smile
Would it have been so hard
To give me just a little space
Inside your heart
Cause all I ever wanted
And all I ever needed
Was
Just to hear you say
You are loved my son
To hear you speak my name
And say well done
Well done
Staring at the sky I feel so small
Still you see me underneath it all
You tell me I have never been alone
And that you even named me as your own
You still wear the scars
From when you laid down everything
For my heart
And all that you are giving
Is all that I am needing
Just to hear you say
You are loved my son
To hear you speak my name
And say well done
Well done
You're a father to the fatherless
A hero to the heroless
A savior for anyone who's wanting
Who's needing..
You're a father to the fatherless
A hero to the heroless
A savior for anyone who's wanting
Who's needing..
Just to hear you say
You are loved my son
To hear you speak my name
And say well done
. . .

Oh I watched it all fall down
I saw your face in the crowd
I saw the tears flowing from your eyes
I saw the fire in the sky
And we had no reason why
I asked will we ever be the same
You said to me
The spirit lives on,
Long after life, long after death
Has crumbled to the ground
The spirit lives on,
Long after life, long after death
They will always be around
Because the spirit lives on
I heard about the cross
How they thought all was lost
And how your friends trembled in their fear
And I heard about the nails
And the crown upon your head
And I know they thought you'd never rise again
But I can hear you say
I will live on
Long after life, long after death
Has crumbled to the ground
I will live on
Long after life, long after death
I will always be around
. . .

Somehow I always seem to do
The very thing I hate
And I can't find the strength to change
Well, it feels like I'm getting in Your way
And now I'm living with the pain
Of knowing that I let You down
Lord You've, You've seen my darkest hour
Still You know my heart's desire and I
I don't want to fall short of
All You've made me to be
And I, I don't have to 'cause I know You
Made a way for me to be
All You ask of me, all You ask of me
Well, You don't see me as I am
I know You have a plan
To complete Your work in me
You've gone and named me as your own
It's like a hope I've never known
Because Your mercy covers me
Lord You've, You've seen my darkest hour
And still you know my heart's desire
And I don't want to fall short of
All You've made me to be
And I, I don't have to 'cause I know You
Made a way for me to be
All You ask of me, all You ask of me
And there on Calvary, You took the nail and thought of me
You bore the shame of fallen man
And there on Calvary, You paid my debt and set me free
And now I'm free to live again
I don't want to fall short of
All You've made me to be
And I, I don't have to 'cause I know You
Made a way for me to be
I don't want to fall short of
All You've made me to be
And I, I don't have to 'cause I know You
Made a way for me to be
All You ask of me, all You ask of me
. . .

Whatever You want
Whatever You need
I want to be the one to give
Everything of me
So I'll strive to live
Worthy of Your calling
When I fall I know that
You'll will love me
And I'm free
'Cause after all that's come and gone
I know that You'll be holding on to me
And I believe
That when I'm feeling all alone
That's when I'll be leaning on Your love
I still break down
When I'm paralyzed with fear
But I hold onto the words I've read
And listen for Your voice that calls me near
'Cause all that makes me who I am to be
Is everything in You that I still need
It's a long road left for me to make it home
But I don't go alone
And I'm free
'Cause after all that's come and gone
I know that You'll be holding on to me
And I believe
When I'm feeling all alone
That's when I'll be leaning on Your love
'Cause all that makes me who I am to be
Is everything in You that I still need
And it's a long road left for me to make it home
But I don't go alone
'Cause I'm free
'Cause after all that's come and gone
I know that You'll be holding on to me
And I believe
That when I'm feeling all alone
That's when I'll be leaning on Your love

There's always a better way
There's always a bridge that needs crossing
There's always the straight and the narrow
The wide and the shallow
But I know that You're guiding me
And the best is yet to come
You've given me hope for tomorrow
And I know someday
I'll wake up to find
Your glory defined
I will finally bow at Your feet
I will lift up Your name
In Honor and Praise
When I cross over Jordan
I know that I'll be running home to you
It's always the simple things
It's always the obvious that crashes over me
It's always in front of me
It helps me to remember
That this is what I live for
