verse every single morning I rise up your love it gives me energy I pray for patience, heap it on I want to bless and heal the broken curse the evil in the open and tell the world i'm yours chorus so keep talk talk talking to me whisper to the ear of my soul I gotta listen listen listen to be recast into the mold of my shepherd need you to help help help me believe your arsenal of love protects me so keep talk talk talking to me talk talk talking to me verse 2 you're the rudder of my ship the ocean and the sails the sand on the shore the seaweed drift you're my anchor on the land you sacrificed your life for my own and gave moisture to these dry bones and showed me how to live chorus bridge root me deep, secure my feet so when trials come I won't retreat navigate the path I take i'll await the narrow gate chorus

verse in my thoughts you approach me my emotion is growing now my hand you are holding as you lead me through time god my words can describe you see my mind can't decide truth on my life please inscribe who you are and who you claim to be chorus draw me a savior with flesh that bled love when you died paint me a comforter whose voice soothes the fears of a child find me the one whose sigh shakes the pillars of time i want to meet the author verse love we seek your protection send your guiding direction use your hearty affection to loosen the fetters of pride i called you jumped in the pages took my sin and its wages denial and betrayal through the ages still his love rages on chorus final chorus you are the savior with flesh that bled love when you died you are the comforter whose voice soothes the fears of a child i found the one whose sigh shakes the pillars of time i got to meet the author

verse do it again, do it again I've got a hold, i'm deeper in you're eyes have seen your skin has felt the trap is set, i'm gonna win prechorus give up, love sin no no no no no no no chorus no more excuses, i'll take my stand I refuse to tie my own noose, i'm planted in the sand you put these dreams in my head, my fingers this guitar i'll show those demons in my head who you are verse 2 why don't you stop you know i'm right we all know you're not worth the fight excuse, excuse you pray but why i'm surprised you really sleep at night prechorus you've run too far from his love demon, that's not how it goes chorus bridge I know that you struggle I know that you fall but you forget that my hands hold it all the struggle you face goes well with my grace search for lady wisdom, she'll guide you through this race verse 3 my soul is freed my debt is paid I sure love me some amazing grace my time is now my purpose real no time for me to try and cut the deal prechorus but dont' you want all you've gained satan my answer is no chorus

verse you visit in a dream a crystal clear projection of your will your message says to me forsake familiar, take unknown, be still prechorus 1 protect my heart i plead provide for all my need send your comfort quick, papa my mind is growing sick chorus lord your purpose ceaselessly surpasses all that i can reason more than i can reconcile as you lead i'll follow in your footprints prints of heaven, prince of peace through this blessing plant your seed verse i'm waling in the light but darkness hides the path beyond your way in unfamiliar land your voice is my direction speak i pray prechorus 2 guard my heart and mind handle the trouble i may find till my seeds of doubt, uproot my unbelieving sprout chorus bridge i have chosen to follow you against myself i'm pushing through keep my trust and kill my thoughts of turning back prechorus 1/2 chorus

verse god with faith and gratitude i pray you'll help me follow through in wituations that i face touch my actions with your grace when in reflection of my legacy i pray it speaks truth of your power in me chorus lord let my story be used for your glory words actions and motives all centered on you give strength to my body, my life is an offering a fragrance of selfless service to you verse i know its not easy but help me press on and look toward the goal a better beyond each wound that i bear and each scar that you heal has strengthened my will to see your face through my tears so take these frames create a beautiful movie production of heaven directed in truth a novel of wonder whose pages when turned speak of you chorus bridge my story will be for your glory my story will be for your glory my story will be for your glory i'll fight the fight you've won for me your glory is forming my story you're working for my good i won't worry your plan's my occupation its sanctified to sing the words that can't just be said chorus

Neck Deep 04:19
verse i'd be a little more calm if I was sure you'd given up but the way the future's passing, it seems that when i'm stuck you ask me if I would like to try again if we could be friends verse 2 am I really worth it when the sin hits the fan bad enough already but I thought I'd try my hand at showing what a pro I am at cleaning up my mess but it added more stress prechorus why do you stay on the line when my ear is not pressed to the phone and how do you tug on the chords of my heart strings made of stone chorus that's right cuz you're my father don't mean to be a bother your patience swells and gushes washes me like water Papa, I'm drowning, I don't know how to swim Neck deep in your love, through your death I'll choose to live verse 3 this body of death, won't give it a rest take a look at my puffed up chest saving myself has been pretty rough i admit now my pride is scuffed verse 4 i'm sorry i say each and every day i'll turn my life around okay he responds "i broke your bonds there's nothing anymore to pay" prechorus trust fall to death of my ego resurrect to the sight of my hero amazed at your growth in my shrinkage even more so your strength in my weakness chorus bridge forbearing forgiveness is new every day don't know what to say it's hard to believe you accept me each time but because your word urges me to believe i will plant my mustard seed chorus
