Song I Sing 03:06
This is the song that I sing, This is just all I can bring And if this song is still unsung, I just can’t wait til you hear it now This is the song that I sing, This is my offering

Stay With Me 03:08
I am out on the edge of the pond and You’re here with me A promise to stay - stay here forever and don’t ever leave It’s nothing that I’ve done and I’ll never be Able to find such a thing that’s better than You here beside me You, You’re here with me beside raging waters You restore my desperate soul So I pray that You’d stay, You’d stay with me Oh I pray that You’d stay oh You’d stay with me As I find myself in a rut I know, You’re there with me Never to fear - never to face this on my own A reflection of Your love is shone unto me And whenever I hear of your love, the gentlest whisper surrounds me And so I pray... So I pray that You’d stay - You’d stay with me Oh I pray that You’d stay - You’d stay with me

Blossoming 05:13
I’m waiting for the rain to fall, To fall on my face - fall on my face, yeah I’m waiting for this drawbridge to fall, To fall down again - to fall down again How many years has it been since I’ve loved? Since Your love has crept into my heart How many years has it been since I’ve seen I’ve seen Your Kingdom come? I’ve come so far to see creation blossoming here again - here again I’ve waited for heaven to come down on the earth I’ve come so far to see creation blossoming here again - here again I’ve waited for heaven to come down on the earth - down on the earth This place is my permanent home I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay I am a new creation The old has gone – the new has come! I’ve come so far to see creation Blossoming here again – here again I’ve waited for heaven to come down on the earth I’ve been knocking on heavenly gates to let me come in again – in again I’ve waited for heaven to come - I’ve waited for heaven to come - I’ve waited for heaven to come down on the earth - down on the earth

Walk out the door and down the three front steps Toward the setting sun - toward the setting sun I cross the plains and stretches of dry sands Past the weathered hills to the cliffs by the sea I feel the wind filling my lungs As I lift my weary eyes I gaze ahead and take… Another step - up to the ledge Shout to the depths - 'til I’m out of breath Oooh, oh... Caught in a cloud - the wind takes me away My feet can’t touch the ground - my feet can’t touch the ground Was chasing shapes and shadows until now I’m standing at the feet of this pillar of fire I feel the flames dance on my skin, but I know I won’t be singed I close my eyes and take…

Alone 04:50
I look out in the distance now - the skies are a shady grey I cry out for help and I feel so unafraid And know that my God has lifted my weary head You’ve never left me alone, You’ve never left me alone My feet may lead me astray - the path may be winding I’ve never felt so far away - my struggles are blinding His Word is a light – a lamp unto my feet You’ve never left me alone, You’ve never left me alone You’re here with me now and forever You’ll never stop loving me - Your Spirit has set me free You’re here with me now and forever Your presence it abides in me - You’re here with me now And forevermore

Let Me Fall 04:59
Climbing high but these monsters keep on chasing me To the top of the world, top of the world, top of the world Looking down it all just seems so foreign now I'm crying aloud, crying aloud, but do you hear a sound? For the hundredth time I'm on top of the world alone again This time I've come to far, this time I've come to far I long for the days when I used to gaze up at the stars Sitting at your feet where I used to dream Let me fall, fall back down to the earth Be buried deep in the dirt I'll give up all that I'm worth Let me fall, fall back down to the earth Be buried deep in the dirt I'll give up all that I'm worth On my knees before the sea With the castles in the sand I'll fade away, fade away with the tide I'll go back, I'll go back, I'll go back Get off this beaten track But when I can't will you melt these frozen wings of wax? Let me fall, fall back down to the earth Be buried deep in the dirt I'll give up all that I'm worth Let me fall, fall back down to the earth Be buried deep in the dirt I'll give up all that I'm worth On my knees Before the sea With the castles in the sand I'll fade away Fade away On my knees Before the sea With the castles in the sand I'll fade away Fade away

Losing Sight 06:06
I tremble in the night as a faint whisper becomes A surrounding rumble - I’m shaken to the core Sounds of falling glass shatter around me Books and cases fall - walls come crumbling down My heart beats - faster - as I open up my eyes I’m losing sight - stretching out both arms Through the clouds of dust, I reach for the grasp of your hand You’re my shining light You’re my shining light out of this night Desperately I run escaping with my life I race to higher ground - There’s no more turning back Plumes of smoke arise darkening all light The moon and heavens shake as stars fall from the sky My heart breaks - it’s torn apart - I look up for a sign I’m losing sight - stretching out both arms Through the clouds of dust, I reach for the grasp of your hand You’re my shining light You’re my shining light out of this night I’m waiting for the call Of trumpets from afar I’m watching for the winds to change And come and rescue me

Come July 03:11
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I need you to hear – this while you’re away I wish that I could draw you near and whisper all of my thoughts – right into your ear Truth is that I’d never thought that we’d come this far – even when apart Your face, I paint in my head while I’m lying awake -- in my bed And I don’t know what to do I wanna be right next to you The winter chill has come and gone This breeze will bring spring along – as I sing this song And I imagine your smile Radiating like the sun – for miles and miles But I just don’t like this view I’d rather be right next to you So I’m, I'm coming to see you - coming to see you Coming to see you, baby I’m coming to see you come July -- oh July I’m coming to see you - coming to see you Coming to see you, baby I’m, I’m coming to see you come July -- oh July Oh, I can’t wait ‘til July

New 04:02
Roaming through these empty streets, Cobbled stone beneath my feet Neon lights flashing in my eyes, I’m paralyzed, paralyzed I lay awake, stare through the strings and bars From the dark, I whisper to the stars Make -- Make -- Make -- Make -- me new Clinging to these wooden bones – splintering, cracked to the core Pressing on ‘til I forget the old – and you, carry me home I lay awake, stare through the strings and bars From the dark, I whisper to the stars Make -- Make -- Make -- Make -- me new

Snowfall 03:16
I wake up to the sound of my alarm piercing the dawn Got a lot on my mind and I just can’t seem to rub it off But I’m not feeling tired - not feeling tired at all Looks like the winter brought in the snowfall late last night Not a trace of any footprints here, and no one there to call But I don’t feel alone - not alone at all Your love is sweet like a melody sung to my soul Your love is snowfall covering the earth, wash me white as snow A thousand times I’ve tried but never won to be content It’s like the curse has lifted from my heart inside my chest Now I don’t feel undone - a love that I have won Your love is sweet like a melody sung to my soul Your love is snowfall covering the earth - wash me white as snow Your love is sweet like a symphony - this sound I know Your love is snowfall covering the earth - making me whole Woah...

I wait for the day when I have you by my side I wait for the day I can see your lovely smile Then I’ll know that in time is where my heart can be filled I wait for the day when heaven comes down to earth I wait for the day when I’m stripped down to my birth I wait for the time my transgressions are as far as the distance I wait for the day when I have you by my side I wait for the day I can see your lovely smile Then I’ll know that in time is where my heart can be filled I wait for the day when heaven comes down to earth I wait for the day when I’m stripped down to my birth I wait for the time my transgressions are as far as the distance Ooh - I’ll wait for you – I’ll be true A couple thousand miles can’t separate us This lonely sleepless night can’t take you away Like the dawn, the sun will rise and shine We’ll live to see another day arrive This is a promise
