Third Day Album

Words by Mac Powell & Music by Third Day

Well I've been taking
It all for granted
Everything that I, have been givin'
Now it is the day, to start my mission
It's been a long time a comin'

There are many, searching for answers
Tell me who am I, to keep it to myself?
I've grown weary of my own fears
It's been a long time a comin'

Chorus:
Well I've been running just like an outlaw
And I am willing and able
To give you something that you can believe on
It's been a long time a comin'

True believers,
Have been staring, up into the sky
Waiting for your return
And I know one day
The clouds will roll down

Well I need to be more than I have been
Well I need to be more than I have been
Not for myself, but for all men
Well I need to be more than I have been, and

I need to do more than I have done, and
I need to do more than I have done
Not for myself, for everyone
I need to do more than I have done, and

Chorus:
It's about time,
That I try to live my life
For more than myself

It's about time,
That I try to live my life
For Jesus and walk in his steps

Bridge:
For too long I've been, such a selfish man
Leading my whole life, just for myself.
Now I've been given, a second chance, and
I'm not going to let it slip away.

I need to love more than I have loved, and
I need to love more than I have loved
Miss you I never, given up, and

The voice of an angel, I cannot tell
Light or darkness, heaven or hell
The smile of a believer, wedged and bound
Friend or deceiver, the truth or a lie

Chorus:
She sings in riddles, she sings in rhymes
Say everything and nothing at the same time
Still there's something to loose my mind
She sings in riddles, she sings in rhymes

Words of a poet, in perfect time
With Christians and answeres,
Every verse, every line

But I smile and I wonder, is there a song
I'm not always silent.

Now listen there's something much better
Than what I had and what I had been told
And now one day I heard a message spoken,
Forever in my heart the words I hold

The Healer said there is only one river
The river of life, filled with faith and love
It's flowing from the sacrifice of Jesus, and
Brings us all into the Kingdom of God.

Chorus:
So I'm going down, to drown myself today
Nothin left to live for, nothin in my way

Hold me underwater, take me even farther
Drown me down by the river today
Will you make me a believer?
Take me by my hand, hold me as I'm falling in,
Cleanse me and wash my sins

So here I am at the edge of the water
That separates me from my death and life
and still I come here with unanswered questions
