More From You
03:40

We spend our money like we spend our time
We get a family like we get a car
Think we get more Think we get more Think we get more
Think we get more because we pay more
CHORUS:
But I can taste this cloud like a dream come true
I can touch the stars in the evening sky
I can know this love and it never ends
I get so much more from you
We see our moments through a magazine
We live our lives on a movie screen
Think we get more Think we get more
Think we get more because we see more... CHORUS
We make our world out of a paper doll
We hold forever in a paper world
We think we have more because we make more
We think we have more because we pay more
We think we have more because we see more
I get so much more… from you

As You Are
03:48

Way tall in a short life
I got stars for dreams just to tantalize
I’m still feet down but a whirling dream
Gotta beg for love... not what it seems
CHORUS:
I want You as You are
Nothing more but You right here
And I ask not a word
Let Him wipe away your tear
And I ask not a word
Let Him wipe away your tear
Synchronize our watches
In the night when the moon goes down
You got your lamp lit here
In the night when the lost are found! CHORUS
Synchronize our watches
In the night when the moon goes down
You got your lamp lit here
In the night when the lost are found!

The Reason Why
05:24
|
|||
|
Tip it a little bit a time enough to bluff and stuff and
Try but a little here and there and try try try again
Elasticity electricity diddly dum dum dowop dowop
You Stop and Stick a thumb in the air and say hey hey
‘Cause today you don’t care now do you? Do you? Do you?
Let me tell you now
Care is not an afterthought
It drives this car down to the starlit sky and the firefly and
The reason why we have a reason.
To live, to be, to try
You can sing with me
No, I mean it, you can sing with me
Dance the best of love’s divinity
And we sing
Ha le lu ia
(sing with me)
Ha le lu ia
(sing with me)
Ha le lu ia___
Heart like Leaf shake snake rattle tail
Quake quail and we too much afraid to talk
We walk it off quickstep quake-step shake-step run a little fakestep
To hide the fear we look a little queer who say hey hey
‘Cause today you aren’t what you appear, are you? Are you? Are you?
Let me tell you now
Life is not a question
It is an answer waiting to be loved in daylight’s warm reply
The reason why we have a reason
To live, to be, to try

Don't Believe
04:16
|
|||
|
But when I heard God speak, I was laughing and crying
The voice of what really is... what really is.
Eyes round the wheel makes something
Wheel in the wheel makes it spin
All around the crazy world... and back again
Slow down. Feel down... to sweet surrender
God is as God does. What is will be and what was.
CHORUS:
Don’t believe He shuts His eyes
Don’t believe He doesn’t care
Don’t believe He’s given up... on you...
And we pray to the beautiful One
We taste the red rose and the wild strawberries
Coriander and morning rain... rain
And our lips like lives sing favorite memories
Our lives lips kiss Love’s unending... CHORUS
On you... on you... on you.

Anywhere
05:49
|
|||
|
She floats like a leaf on the water
She breathes with mint and honey dew
She takes the daylight warm to cold hands
She’s got a heart that goes running... running
CHORUS:
Out into the wildness is where I want to be
With you into the wetlands
Out into the wildness is where I want to be...
And flowers pass by beautifully
You can take the metaphor and plunge it into deep delicious memory
And I will swim you run you fly you
Take you anywhere... anywhere
He leans his shoulder into it
He holds strong as steel the world
He builds things that last
He sweats he bleeds to make his words dependable
Saying I am here and will not let go
I am here and will not let go... CHORUS
They walk by lanes of lovers
They take roads to cover... distances
They find paths to drift through the waking dream
They got hearts that go dancing... dancing... CHORUS
Anywhere... anywhere... anywhere...

Just that look... in your eyes... wide as wonder
And I am. Oh I am. Yes I am... mm... mm... mm...
Smile that bright smells so sweet... breathe on me
And I am. Oh I am. Yes I am... mm... mm... mm...
Sound of you say anything I am listening
And I am. Oh I am. Yes I am... mm... mm... mm...
I’m seeking you. You’re seeking me. Touch of love everywhere
And I am. Oh I am. Yes I am... mm... mm... mm...

The Last Dance
04:12
|
|||
|
It pours right into me. Rain rain on dry ground
Wet as wet as water can be
We drink like dust and death
We need life to drench this clay alive
And the air is thick with you around... all around me
CHORUS:
Windswept bones are dancing this flesh alive
And I can see love dancing the last dance with you
Can you taste true love smack dab in the middle of a hurricane
When its winds blow your roof right off
Can you look down the barrel of a fire-breathin’ twelve guage heart
Love will find the place where you live
Hey! Love is gonna ring your bell
On the very next time you get up to bolt the lock an’ put a sign on the door sayin’
Go away you got no hold on me

Two Fires
01:57
|
|||
|
That I may burn the undying flame of a different love
A love that lasts and lives to love the hungry man
Set me apart from the fire of eyes and pride that dies a thousand deaths
I was made to burn with a holy breath (and not be consumed)
Fire burns the soul in Babylon burn the hearts of men
Flame throws the dead and dying spirits of the fallen stars
They will fling you too from the heat too hot for human breath
The race too long the water too sparse
The rest that never was

Life Is More

Tired broken
Catch a little wind let it pick you up and
Spread my wings. See me fly.
Love is more than I first expected
Love is more than I ever did
Love is more than I first expected
Love is more than I ever did… recognize
Question everything… NO!
Dive right in let the current take you.
Water flow.
Drink it up Drink it up
Life is more than I first expected
Drink it up Drink it up
Life is more than I ever did… recognize
Love is standing at my door and knocking
Life is standing at my door and knocking
Love is standing at my door and knocking
Open up Open up and let him in
Something gone
Tell me why
Mirror mirror on the wall but
I am not watching my own reflection
Like a window I can see right through
You are more than I ever knew ever knew
Like a window I can see right through
You are more than I ever knew ever knew
Love is standing at my door and knocking
Life is standing at my door and knocking
Love is standing at my door and knocking
Life is standing at my door and knocking
Jesus standing at my door and knocking
Open up Open up and let him in!
Open up Open up Open up this door this door
And let him in

His Grace Is Sufficient
04:32
|
|||
|
His strength is made perfect in the midst of my weakness
With my back to the ocean... face to the dark
In the wake of my brokenness when I feel so defeated
His grace is sufficient, sufficient for me
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
And His grace is sufficient, sufficient for me
I see all the pieces all broken and damaged
All that is left of all that is me
But the love of my Father in heaven is smiling
Cause His grace is sufficient, sufficient for me
The power of Jesus to fill me and use me
The mystery of healing in the arms of His love
The fullest acceptance, the joy of His nearness
And His grace is sufficient, sufficient for me
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch, a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
And His grace is sufficient, sufficient for me

Looking For You
06:15
|
|||
|
I’ve never seen your face but I’m sure…
I could easily pick you out in a crowd
And the first time that I see you I swear…
I will scream your name out loud
CHORUS:
I’ve been looking for someone to remove the fear
I’ve been waiting for my life to be made clear
I’ve been hoping for the one, and now you’re here
I have been looking… for you. I have been looking for you.
Though the whole world should attempt to prevent me
Though the demons line up against me to conspire
I will shout your name from the rooftops
You are my one desire… CHORUS
|
||||
12. |
||||
|
My reference point is a rock, personal rock, a bleeding rock
Way above the flood-line
My slipping feet are standing now and I am
Dancing where the dark don’t reach
