I took the long road in search of your heart Its treasure yearns to be found But I ripped in two what you would impart I left your grace buried deep in the ground And I came to my senses I fell on my knees I ran out of the deepest valley from now on I'll trust your guarantees I Came To My Senses The floods they came in rapid succession And poured right toward my frigid feet But we kept on, now it's gone my obsession with holding on to a love that's incomplete And I came to my senses I fell on my knees I ran out of the deepest valley from now on I'll trust your guarantees Now they're gone, my offenses all I've done wrong has been seized 'cause you took my soul and ignored the tally all my wrongs have been put at ease And I came to my senses I fell on my knees I ran out of the deepest valley from now on I'll trust your guarantees I Came To My Senses

Trust In You 04:14
Jesus, you came down from your throne Exchanged your seat of power for the sinners' home Perfect one, born to save Faithful to obey to the grave O we will trust in you Your every word is true So Jesus take our lives and make us new We'll trust in you Jesus, by your power, you right our wrongs Our sin was so deep but your love is strong Healer of the world, humbled down Upheld your promises with a thorned crown O we will trust in you Your every word is true So Jesus take our lives and make us new We'll trust in you Sin has gripped our weary souls You've covered us and made us whole You have overcome the world! O we will trust in you Your every word is true So Jesus take our lives and make us new We'll trust in you

I don't know why your eyes keep tellin' these lies That deceive and beat you so soundly That he only cares once or twice, or when you're down And just picks you up after a bruisin' But he'll pick you up, oh Don't give up on God Cause he hasn't given up on you And he's pleased with his own beautiful face And he'd love to see it on you Open your eyes, rise and shine and run away From the past that keeps breaking your heart Wake up from the dead, you'll find love once again At the feet of your beautiful maker He'll pick you up, oh Don't give up on God Cause he hasn't given up on you And he's pleased with his own beautiful face And he'd love to see it on you And I'll shout it out from the rooftops on high That the prince of this world has no grip on your soul I know nothing can separate you from the father's love Because it's swift and it's strong and it's patient Oh he's patient He'll pick you up He'll pick you up He'll pick you up Don't give up on God Cause he hasn't given up on you And he's pleased with his own beautiful face And he'd love to see it on you

Mighty 05:49
God, you know my heart's full of joy When I know your face is near But you seem so far away when I fail you every Day and every time that these notes slip away through my Fingers and out my head where I'm ruled By all my dread But you sing to me so sweetly that this is not the end Oh my God, you rescue me There is hope in the blood of your son Your name is mighty, and I'll never know it's glory But just a glimpse of the hope that's to be Heaven's breaking free but still all my Thoughts are turned towards me Your love reaches deep and reaches wide and far Enough to break the depths of my guilt and my pride all my Hard headed, tight-fisted, bread-breaking while enemy-making Fake compassion, love-neverlasting My dirty, ugly mind But you sing to me so sweetly that this is not the end Oh my God, you rescue me There is hope in the blood of your son Your name is mighty, and I'll never know it's glory But just a glimpse of the hope that's to be Your name is mighty! But you sing to me so sweetly Oh you sing to me so sweetly Oh you sing to me so sweetly that this is not the end Oh my God, you rescue me There is hope in the blood of your son Jesus, your name is mighty, and I'll never know it's glory But just a glimpse of the hope that's to be

The Fight 04:47
I see you're not pleased with how things have gone Your heart was empty and bare for too long You lost your focus, your mind and your sight As the warm glow of love turned into night My advice though too little and too late Take a deep breath, I know why you failed Through your mistakes, the truth is unveiled The shadows are gone, I know you'll do what's right There's beauty to find, and that's why you fight Your foolish eyes missed the signs on the wall You opened her heart without heeding the call Loving yourself might have felt so right But it brings out the darkness and pierces the light My advice though too little and too late Take a deep breath, I know why you failed Through your mistakes, the truth is unveiled The shadows are gone, I know you'll do what's right There's beauty to find, and that's why you fight Now you've seen the beautiful heart that you've always longed for Now you've felt The breadth of your soul, yeah it's reaching for more Now you've missed the chance to love like never before Take a deep breath, I know why you failed Through your mistakes, the truth is unveiled The shadows are gone, I know you'll do what's right There's beauty to find, and that's why you fight Take a deep breath, I know why you failed Through your mistakes, the truth is unveiled The shadows are gone, I know you'll do what's right There's beauty to find, and that's why you fight

Oh my soul My soul My soul It longs for you There is hope Deep inside Waiting to Be made alive So I'll set The spirit free I'll know the son Risen in me So Jesus speak your word Into this empty earth Won't you turn the formless void Into life, into rebirth

He takes a shot and breaks the window The basket-case is loose and I know That shackling a dead man twice Never lets him see the price of his sin So again I'm free to unfold And a slave to the same old I will take the blame if it's all the same What's a wretch worth? Am I worthy to be your son? It's a long road home Broken and torn From the priceless joy I spent on myself And the word you promised brings me hope That you'll still know my name I'll never be the same Can a father recognize A son so poor, his face in dirt disguised The smell of death and hate surround My schizophrenic, wicked lies I'm misguided I don't know where the light is, even though it's right before me I will take the blame if it's all the same What's a wretch worth? Am I worthy to be your son? It's a long road home Broken and torn From the priceless joy I spent on myself And the word you promised brings me hope That you'll still know my name I need to love you the way you love me It's a long road home Broken and torn From the priceless joy I spent on myself And the word you promised brings me hope That you'll still know my name I'll never be the same

Lord, you heal the sick and the blind Oh God give us a heart to find The broken and hurting And their chains that bind We want to serve the least of these because We want to serve you Lord, you love and hold your children Give us a heart to do your will A heart that sacrifices still For the broken and hurting With your love that fills We want to love the least of these because We want to serve you "Lord, when did we feed you? Lord, when did we provide?" He said, "When you held their hand, you were really holding mine" Lord, you heal the sick and the blind Oh God give us a heart to find The broken and hurting And their chains that bind We want to serve the least of these because We want to serve you Lord, you love and hold your children Give us a heart to do your will A heart that sacrifices still For the broken and hurting With your love that fills We want to love the least of these because We want to serve you

If you've never been loved How can you know a marriage apart from divorce and if you've never been loved how can you show even a hint of remorse but listen my friend I'll come again at any time that you need just to prove to you beyond all your doubts that you've truly been freed I know you've never been loved I won't make a sound I want you to know, I'm all ears and if you've never been loved We can turn things around We'll forget all of your fears but listen my friend there's a light at the end No the truth cannot be deceived And I'll prove to you that beyond all your doubts that you've truly been freed You might feel let down but just know that i'm right here by your side And you might feel like you've been torn into pieces too small to recognize But you've always been loved! You've always been loved! Healing is coming your way Your Father, he knows your name
