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

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

give strength to my body, my life is an offering
a fragrance of selfless service to you

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

a novel of wonder
whose pages when turned speak of you
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
