I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please
Cause I can't find my phone

[Chorus]
This is the stuff
That drives me crazy
This is the stuff
That's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff
That gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust
You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35
Sirens and fines
While I'm running behind

[Chorus]
This is the stuff
That drives me crazy
This is the stuff
That's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff
That gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust
You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

To break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation
It's not the end of the world...

This is the stuff
That drives me crazy
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
This is the stuff
That gets under my skin
But I've gotta trust
You know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use
This is the stuff You use

. . .


I'm just a little bit afraid of where I'm going
And it feels like a hurricane is blowing over
Though I can't find the ground below
I've lived enough to know
I've lived enough to know

[Chorus]
You're my constant in every moment
Constant
You've never failed me
All my life
You have never left my side
You are my constant

Okay I really don't like change but I can't stop it
I'm moving forward anyway with the promise
You are the anchor for my soul
That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know

[Chorus]
You're my constant in every moment
Constant
You've never failed me
All my life
You have never left my side
You are my constant

Before I was a thought on earth
You knew me then and You gave me worth
When all of this is said and done
You will be the One I'm standing on

[Chorus]
You're my constant in every moment
Constant
You've never failed me
All my life
You have never left my side
You are my constant

. . .


Lost your way
And you don't know how it happened
So much time you wasted
Chasing satisfaction
Seems like there's nowhere else to go
Please I wish that you would come home

[Chorus]
Oh, don't be so afraid
You think that you're too far
But you never are
You never are
You never are
So scared that you're too late
Too hidden in the dark
But you never are
You never are
You never are

Grace is underestimated
All you ever really have to do
Is take it
God is bigger than the times we fail
So why can we not forgive ourselves

[Chorus]
Oh, don't be so afraid
You think that you're too far
But you never are
You never are
You never are
So scared that you're too late
Too hidden in the dark
But you never are
You never are
You never are

You will never be perfect
Oh, but you're still worth it
You've gotta just believe

[Chorus]
Oh, don't be so afraid
You think that you're too far
But you never are
You never are
You never are
So scared that you're too late
Too hidden in the dark
But you never are
You never are
You never are

. . .


I can't say that everything's okay
‘Cause I can see the tears you're crying
And I can't promise to take the pain away
But you can know I won't stop trying

[Chorus]
I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own
‘Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel
The angel by your side

I know it feels like you're running out of faith
‘Cause it's so hard to keep believing
But if I can bring a smile back to your face
If for a moment, you'll forget all about it

[Chorus]
I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own
‘Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel
The angel by your side

‘Cause this won't be the last time
You'll need a little hope
But I want to be the first to let you know

[Chorus]
I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own
‘Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel
The angel by your side

. . .


I was poor I was weak
I was the definition of the spiritually
Bankrupt condition
So in need of help

I was unsatisfied
Hungry and thirsty
When You rushed to my side
So unworthy
Still You gave yourself away…

[Chorus]
That's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart

Now I'm filled by a love
That calls me to action
I was empty before now I'm drawn to compassion
And to give myself away

[Chorus]
That's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart

Living for the lost
Loving ‘til it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like You loved me first
That's the motion of mercy

God give me strength to give something for nothing
I wanna be a glimpse of the Kingdom that's coming soon

[Chorus]
That's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart

. . .


Emily, I know you think it won't get any better
Life has gone and gotten so tough
Emily, you believe you will never ever
Never ever find that you're enough

Circumstances can change your mind
But time will help you see

[Chorus]
It's love that hung the moon and stars for you above
And stays awake to start the morning
If you feel you've had enough
He's never given up
It's love

Emily, you will see some stormy weather
Dark and cloudy days of rain
But Emily, there will be summer laughter
'Cause everybody knows the seasons change

Circumstances will turn out fine
And time will help you see

[Chorus]
It's love that hung the moon and stars for you above
And stays awake to start the morning
If you feel you've had enough
He's never given up
It's love

Can't you see
I know you believe me
Everything is whispering this well-known story
So listen in
It's humbling
All of this done for you

[Chorus]
It's love that hung the moon and stars for you above
And stays awake to start the morning
If you feel you've had enough
He's never given up
It's love

. . .


Hello, old friend
I know it's been a while
I'm here again
And it won't be the last time
I fall apart
But You won't let me get too far
You're speaking to my heart

[Chorus]
It's good to know
It's good to feel the arms of grace
To know that my mistakes are covered by Your love
It's good to know
It's good to see that You won't change
When it's said and done
You'll always be enough
To know that I can always come back home
It's good to know
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
It's good to know
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Goodbye, old me
Yeah there's so much more that I
Know I could be
So take my worries with
You when you leave
There's hope that I am counting on
‘Cause I'm never too far gone

[Chorus]
It's good to know
It's good to feel the arms of grace
To know that my mistakes are covered by Your love
It's good to know
It's good to see that You won't change
When it's said and done
You'll always be enough
To know that I can always come back home
It's good to know
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
It's good to know
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

It's good to know
That there's a second chance
Know that it's all in Your hands
Even if I just don't understand
‘Cause I know that I will be alright
I finally see the other side
It takes the darkness to open up your eyes
Sometimes

It's good to know
It's good to know
I'm covered by Your love

It's good to know
It's good to see that You won't change
When it's said and done You'll always be enough
To know that I can always come back home
To know that You will never let me go
It's good to know
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
It's good to know
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

. . .


I used to daydream that I could be free
And far away from all the pain in this world
A little understanding
A hand to hold me
I was wrapped up in my doubt
But all that changed when you came around

[Chorus]
So long all that lonely living
That something that was missing isn't missing anymore
So long to the way that wasn't working
And the hurting that was all I knew
It's all gone so long as I have you

Still have the hard times when nothing's going right
Just wanna pull the covers over my head
You gave me a new perspective
When the days get heavy and I feel rejected
There's someone to run to
Since the day that I found you

[Chorus]
So long all that lonely living
That something that was missing isn't missing anymore
So long to the way that wasn't working
And the hurting that was all I knew
It's all gone so long as I have you

So long to the mornings without meaning
The nights without sleeping
I'm right where I belong

[Chorus]
So long all that lonely living
That something that was missing isn't missing anymore
So long to the way that wasn't working
And the hurting that was all I knew
It's all gone so long as I have you

. . .


Burn up the interstate
Got somewhere you need to be, you're
Not gonna let nobody slow you down
Turn off the radio and
Turn up your telephone
You don't have the time to smell the roses now

But take a second maybe
Before it gets too loud
Breathe before your breath runs out

[Chorus]
Don't try so hard
To move past the moment
These days go by
And they're gone before you know it
So come on, open your window
Let the light shine in
This is life don't miss it

What if you took the time
To really soak it in
‘Cause someday you're gonna wish you did
Like a September morning
Like snow without a warning
Like how the summer feels upon your skin

Take a minute maybe
Before the sun goes down
Breathe before your breath runs out

[Chorus]
Don't try so hard
To move past the moment
These days go by
And they're gone before you know it
So come on, open your window
Let the light shine in
This is life don't miss it

Just take a second maybe
Before the sun goes down
Breathe before your breath runs out

[Chorus]
Don't try so hard
To move past the moment
These days go by
And they're gone before you know it
So come on, open your window
Let the light shine in
This is life don't miss it

. . .


Love's not a feeling
Love's not convenient
But I know love will change your life
Love takes sacrifice
Love cuts like a knife
Sometimes love will make you cry
Love's not easy
But it's worth it

Love is a hunger
But love won't leave you empty
See it's the language of the heart
Love can steal your pride
But love won't let you hide
It takes everything you've got
Love's not easy
But it's worth it

[Chorus]
What you gonna do when the bottom falls out
And you're left with nothing but your fear and your doubt to hold to
Who will hold you?
Where you gonna run when it's all on the line
And you're looking for someone to save your life
To save your life

Love can hear you
Love can heal you
If you let it inside
Oh, remember now
Love's not easy
But it's worth it

[Chorus]
What you gonna do when the bottom falls out
And you're left with nothing but your fear and your doubt to hold to
Who's gonna hold you?
Oh, where you gonna run when it's all on the line
And you're looking for someone to save your life
To save your life

Love can hear you
I know love will heal you
If you let it inside
Oh, remember now
Love's not easy
But it's worth it

Diamond ring and 12 red roses
Everything she ever wanted
All those dreams and now they're finally here

She's so young and he's so perfect
They waited for love and it was worth it
She wants to feel like this for a hundred years
All of this life still yet to live and they can hardly wait

[Chorus]
They can laugh
They can cry
The future looks so beautiful and bright
They can dance
Under the moonlight
‘Cause God is smiling down on them tonight
And she wants to stay right here
Make it last for a hundred more years

She's got blue eyes just like her mother
Three years old, he's crazy for her
He wants to freeze this day before it disappears

She's spinning like a little princess
Making sure he's gonna notice
He could watch her twirl for a hundred years
She'll grow up and she'll leave home but until that day

[Chorus]
They can laugh
They can cry
The future looks so beautiful and bright
They can dance
Under the moonlight
‘Cause God is smiling down on them tonight
And he wants to stay right here
Make it last for a hundred more years

And it's only time
But it flies right by
And today is sweeter than we know

And so they dance
Under the moonlight
‘Cause God is smiling down on them tonight
And they want to stay right here
For a hundred more years
