Verse
So many doorways lie open to me. I don't know who I'll be by the end.
Dozens of options each one with their problems, I don't know who I'll be by the end.
Pre-Chorus
And How do I paint with one color, all of these scenes in my mind
How do I accept limitations, of days and years and dollars.
So I'd better, I guess I'd better, Yes I'd better!
Chorus
Pick an option and run with it, I'm gonna run with it.
Find a dream that will fly me far from here.
And maybe ten years down the road I'll look myself in the eye
And see it was the hand of God, it was the hand of God
Guiding me. Even though I could not see it. He's Guiding me

Paris At Night

Verse 1
Pulling up to the station, you're sparking my imagination
I wonder what your life was like, on the other side of the world.
Maybe I've been misguided, never branching out or moving on to some
Golden city, shining in the distance.
Chorus
Oh, what must it be like Paris at night
Verse 2
Maybe I am still young enough, I'll book a passage across the ocean
And find myself caught up in some, sweeping grand adventure.
Bridge
All of the lights would be shining, those streets would come alive. A painter's portrait of a midnight paradise.

She Told Me

Verse
She told me, I'm not a city girl but a city would sound fine to me
If that's where you want to be
I'd miss the leaves that change, the summer rains, my country lanes,
But that's where I'd wanna be
Chorus
God has given me a reason to be grateful
In the form of my brown eyed girl. Her steady love and tender devotion
Let me know that her love is true. And that she's all mine
Verse 2
She Told me, I will cheer for you, be here for you, draw near to you. And I won't give it up if the days are long and the nights are rough cause that's where I wanna be.
Bridge
With a woman like this here beside me I swear I could do most anything
Feeling bulletproof and stronger by the minute
I swear I could do most anything

All I Have Is Today

Verse 1
Hold on a little longer, things will get brighter.
It's a cold wind now but brother,
The hard times make the good times better.
Struggle is that furnace in which we build a better life
At least that's what they say
And Lord I hope they're right.
Chorus
But God, if my fortunes do not change the way they say
Will I still choose to sing your praise?
And God if my fortunes don't improve the way they say
Will I still choose to sing your praises?
Verse 2
It's a heavy load now but it will grow lighter
If your feeling disappointed know that the
Tough days make the good days better
Whatever doesn't kill you only serves to make you strong
At least that's what they say. And Lord I hope they're right.
Bridge
Because All I have is today
All I have is today. Will I let a little rain drown out my praise
To my good good God?

Verse 1
Strike a match, I need a light. It's dark out here tonight.
Say a word be a friend. It doesn't matter if it's heard.
I just want your company.
Chorus
Will you be there when things aren't pretty, and I don't have the will to cover up? Being myself is sometimes scary but I know that it is needed. Just got to open up.
Verse 2
You have a key, just turn the lock. Why don't we just try to talk
I promise I won't interrupt when you call me on the phone
I just need your company.
Bridge
I guess it's good that we're all in this together,
Trying to reach that higher place. But perfection is a fantasy I've favored.
Now I'm trying to lose that face.

Hello Son

|
Verse 1
My heart stopped when you took that first breath
Bright eyes staring back at me.
So alert, so alive, and you've only just arrived.
Chorus
Hello Son, oh those words they bring a change with them.
I'm in a place that I've never been, but I'm seeing clearer than before
The deep deep love of God. The deep deep love of my Father.
Verse 2
Skin to skin I breath you in, the whole world is in my arms
How did we ever do without you?
I'm singing songs, you're watching me. We're already family.
How did we ever do without you?
Bridge
Now your mother and I we got some learning to do.
But we will try to do our best for you.
We will stumble and fall, we're just people you know
And there's darkness deep inside of us.
But we will try to lead you to the light. Jesus Christ.

Love Ain't Easy

Tick tock goes that clock it doesn't seem to slow down for us anymore.
Time rushes by like a river flowing swiftly.
It's getting hard to pause, look each other in the eye like we used to.
I remember when, on that pleasant day in June,
When I held your hand and said I do forever.
darling you're my number one. I know I really do,
But it's so easy to lose sight of you.
Love ain't easy. Love ain't easy. God make our love a little stronger.

Run Your Race

Verse
Who we were yesterday doesn't define us.
It's a fresh day and the morning light is streaming through.
Leaving the past in the past can be difficult
But forget what's behind and press forward into the future.
Chorus
You're a runner, run your race. Your sin has been cast aside
So come along and take your place.
You're a runner, so run your race. Remember the cleansing blood
And step into His daily grace. Come on and run your race.
Bridge
We keep pressing on for the joy that's up ahead now.
We keep pressing on oh the joy is up ahead.
For the prize awaits.

Soon Isn't Soon Enough

Verse 1
What did I do wrong to you? Did I break your heart?
Give me just an hour or two, I promise you a better start.
Your lips are so ruby red, and warmer than the summer time.
I'm tired of this argument, I need you in these arms of mine.
Chorus
And I'm confident that given time we will work this thing out.
I'm confident that you and I, we will work this all out.
But soon isn't soon enough, soon isn't soon enough.
Let's make this right, right now.
Verse 2
I wish that we could just be right, but I'm willing to put the work in it.
Making up ain't easy love, so let's have this over with
Bridge
I remember when not two days gone by, we were laughing and singing to the radio. I caught your eye, you smiled and my heart stopped. Baby I'm in love with you.

A Picture
03:22
|
|||
|
Verse
A picture is better than a thousand words
Makes you feel the things you could never say.
Less talk, a little more show and tell
bring the truth to life before my eyes.
Chorus
Our God is so much more than just words on a page
Have you seen the way He loves. The way He loves.
Verse
A picture is better than a thousand words
If you've seen the Son you've seen the Father.
He came to us, a poor man on dusty roads,
Telling stories so that we could know.
Bridge
The kingdom of heaven is near look no further.
The kingdom of heaven is here look no further, no further.
