Mercy, oh what a strange thing, compassion towards an undeserving soul
Oh peace, an overwhelming shelter, from the storms that flood these lives

My hope lies on the wings of a stable foundation
Where I find my rest, where I find my peace
And there's nothing I could do to deserv

Jasmine on the vine
Clothes drying on a chair
Pay no mind to me and my
Vonnegut hair
Method and madness
Nothing to discuss
In the dark waiting on my eyes to adjust
Any day now

Seek and you'll find her
In hidden speech
Thin as a vapor
Moving at half s

Who am I to say that I’m alright?
Walking the christian life is more than just saying prayers at night
Day in and day out I live a routine
As if my own righteousness has the power to save me

But when I let go of insecurity, and show authenticity
Who am I? Who am I?
We’r

Round and round this broken rat race
I'm moving and stopping, I'm window shopping
For love, for fame, for anything that will take me

When I'm done taking up space
I'm coming home late to a dirty place
Half awake, the broom, the rake, take the kid out of me

Just say th

When I’m near you I find, when I’m without you I cannot survive
I know something’s missing, when I’m neglecting the very thing
That keeps me going, going

I don’t wanna move
I don’t want to push away the things that you’re saying
I don’t wanna lose
Another moment with yo

Sometimes I think I’m the exception
But it's just another lame excuse to do wrong and get away with it

I’m so afraid to speak the truth, but I dare to live a lie
I live here on a slippery slope, when I step I start to slide

Someone save me from me, what I want isn’t what I ne

You are a run away fugitive
You carry bags of guilt you can't seem to get rid of
Your hiding well in your disguise
Among the crowds your just another face

You can keep running, but how long can you hide?

You go on, you escape silently
You go on, slipping in and out of

Little man in a big world
The land so large and problems so small
Little ears trusting in every word they hear
Some day he’ll work the factory
And grow to be six feet tall
His mother will always see him in his toddler years

He believes in what he sees
And he says wh

Well, you'll never see me dying
On screen or microscope
I'll be the first to laugh it off
To not be the brunt of your joke

Let me make a mistake
It'll pay for its own cost
'Cause regret is like an infant
That won't let you sleep it off

Checkin' in to a hospita

Rocket to land in from Japan
Tell me what's your mission here
Lord only knows
It's been weighing on your mind

Eyes are like signals, traveling missiles
Waiting on an act of God
To level the pressure
And the claustrophobia

It comes and goes
Cosmic revelatio

I couldn't wait to leave that building and stand under the sky
I watch the clouds go by from a skylight
I watch the Sun as it freckles the skin of travelers
And here I turn another shade of white

I wonder when the day will come
I wonder what it looks like
Will I falter

Once your girl, I'm always your girl
When I'm here or when I'm there
Or on a plane headed somewhere

You were staring down the cars, hoping it would be one of ours
Children and grandchildren writing you cards
But how long were you waiting for me
To make a left down your

In the garden of our savior no flower grows unseen
His kindness rains like water on every humble seed
No simple act of mercy escapes his watchful eye
For there is one who loves me
His hand is over mine

In the kingdom of the heavens no suffering is unknown
Each tear that

All I can see are the problems I face in front of me
I forget to look around at the world thats still turning
The world thats still hurting
It seems I can never get this mind in a good state
When it’s always fixed on me and, forgetting the things I appreciate

Life is full o

These troubles have got their hold on me
These paranoying thoughts don’t allow me any sleep
I ask myself, how and when did I get here?
When I looked down, I must have allowed an entry way for my fears

We’re not to dwell on the temporary
We’re not to dwell on momentary thing

Oh you righteous man, where does your salvation come from?
It's unearned and undeserved
Has your arrogance and pride, caused you to despise
What still needs to be done here even in the darkest of atmospheres

Who says I can’t be found in a hospital?
Who says I can't be found

It's funny how you can take another step
Though your body's beaten down, and your short of breath
Something says soldier go on
Pick up your battle sword, and your armor of bronze

Don't look around at the chaos that surrounds you
Take your brother's hand as he reaches
No

There's a song in my head
Oh, a line that never stops playing
I'm not sure how it ends
I can't remember when I heard what you were saying
I'll make the best out of the worst
I'll make up half the words and wear a t-shirt of a band I've never heard
Because it hurts to be o

Caught in a lonely life, walking at your own pace
With a cold mind and a stubborn heart, said you didn’t need grace
Thought your life and your path was set in it's place
You had no time or room for answers, you just knew you detested change
But now you’re re-thinking

You sa

I've been standing on an unsteady surface
Where the walls are caving in all around me
It seems I've come to a dead end of this maze
And I can't seem to find my way out again

I beg for an open door, yet I think of every excuse to ignore it
I beg for another way, somehow I ca
