listen to the mp3
i’m out for proof that you still care
i’d settle for knowing that you’re there
i wish you’d send a sign
i don’t want to doubt you
so i guess my faith is so weak
i must beg you to speak
all you offer me are words
i’ve never really heard you
if you’re everything they say you are
you know the secrets of my heart
the things i mean but cannot say
thank God you never run away
am i too smart to believe
you’re a possibility?
are my eyes so blind to see
what you’ve done for me?
if you made me i’d obey
i would be a fearful slave
but i’d never choose to
love you

listen to the mp3
should i throw back practiced lines
just repeating things i’ve heard
or should i stay quiet until
you send a word?
i don’t think i can hear you
i don’t know to fear you
i don’t think i can hear you
i don’t know how to love you, Jesus
i don’t know how to love myself
love is just a word to me, Jesus
a secret no one ever tells
can you calm these storms?
cause i’m so scared, i’m so scared
when you do calm these storms
i’ll know you’re there
i’ll know you’re there
but is that all i want from you?
just stone hard concrete proof?
can i choose you?
can i choose you?
can i say you tell the truth
without the proof?
can you calm these storms?
either way, i choose you

listen to mp3
what if each day was a treasure to find?
and there were no curtains to hide behind
could i just believe in you?
take one thing as undoubtedly true?
what if everyone automatically knew
and didn’t have to make excuses for You?
is it a sin to seek audible songs?
come in a cloud and tell me i’m wrong
sometimes it gets so hard
to remember
i love you
i collect the answers to pick and choose
what truth is out there that i can’t abuse
stands on its own even misunderstood
would i even admit it if i could
no, i would make it a choice of desires
share in your sorrows or stay warm by the fire
i chase a world that can’t offer me more
than what you give, what i ignore

listen to the mp3
i’d give you the best of me
if i wasn’t so afraid of what you’d do
i say you know what’s best for me
but i act like that’s true
in dark rooms i wrestle with you
you unleash your obvious truth
deep down i know the answer too
all i’m asking for is proof
i think of your reasons for loving me
clashing with your invisibility
but they’re one and the same
you bear the blame
it is my choice to see
like an animal who’s spent his life
safe in captivity
sometimes i wish that you had
never set me free
the world is meaner than i can stand
you say you have a place
i wish you’d lead me by the hand
but you want to be chased

listen to the mp3
am i led into the desert
or do i go there on my own?
do i have to swing so hard
to get water from a stone
i can’t see a burning bush
i can’t see your signs
i wish you’d come and tell me
something that i can’t deny
say you love me
tell me i’m beautiful
say you love me
tell me i’m beautiful
tell me i’m worth it.
i would sit right by the fire
they’d ask me and i would deny
and i’d stand back in the corner
till i put a finger in your side
