Third grade, I drew my dreams On a blank page, my own silver screen Painted sun, never rain And love without pain It’s funny, that life I designed Never played out like I had in mind Had some highs hit the ground Some ups that went down But one thing that I’ve figured out
You go before I know That You’ve even gone to win my war Your love becomes my greatest defense It leads me from the dry wilderness
Here I go tiptoeing to the kitchen And don’t you know, crash goes the coffee cup My only chance to be still and listen Lord, don’t let, don’t let the kids wake up A little time with You, the only way to get me through the day
Long awaited, precious promise, Son of God and Son of Man Heaven’s glory, in a manger has come to us in Bethlehem, ohoh Messiah, Messiah, a baby born to save us all Messiah, Messiah, on our knees we fall
Everyone’s telling you to let go of what you’re holding to It’s too late, too far You’re too small, it’s too hard Throwing water on that spark, living deep inside your heart With oceans of reasons The things you’re not seeing But oh, maybe they don’t know what you know That you’re not alone
Truth is harder than a lie The dark seems safer than the light And everyone has a heart that loves to hide I’m a mess and so are you We’ve built walls nobody can get through Yeah, it may be hard, but the best thing we could ever do, ever do
There’s nothing worth more That could ever come close No thing can compare You’re our living hope Your presence, Lord I’ve tasted and seen Of the sweetest of loves Where my heart becomes free And my shame is undone Your presence, Lord
Spent today in a conversation In the mirror face to face with somebody less than perfect I wouldn’t choose me first if
