i’m useless
i’m sad and ashamed
i’d rather shed selfish tears
than speak Your name
but nothing around here
reminds me of You
taking a scapel to myths
i wanted to be true
but i won’t sing those songs
unless i mean amazing grace
but more than your voice
i want You to put me in my place
i’m thirsty, Lord
give me a taste (of the reason for pain) i’ll go on again
i’m thirsty, Lord
lift up my chin in this rain
i’ve heard it said before
thinking men get nothing done
when i finally find the will to fight
i find the enemies won
but i survive, and they look down
i’m all wrapped up in my hypocrisy
forgive me for falling so far
and taking Your name down with me
thank You for the drought
You knew a flood would have me think
that i deserve these gifts
when i’m just begging for a drink

listen to the mp3
heaven, i’m hiding in the garden
ashamed of what i’ve given away
i’m only a slave to strong emotion
crouching in the darkness of day
drag me out to face You
for sins i can’t deny
but You call me, You invite me
You let me choose to lie
overtake me and break me
put me together again
overtake me and break me
put me together again
heaven, i’d running far from you
chasing the desires of my heart
i’m afraid that all the plans i made
won’t save me when we’re apart
i’ve come to think that it’s my way
to chase the passion calling me
but it’s you who’s whispering my name
relentlessly

listen to the mp3
i stake my story on rumor of chance
if i am wrong i will fall and all break
for i know i’m ill equipped for romance
some guys don’t have what it takes
if every know that’s screamed in my ear
proves out to be the obvious plan
i’ll cradle the dream that i never did hear
i chose a lie and you chose another man
but david’s stone took goliath down
a bloody jawbone saved samson’s life
a baby boy wore heaven’s crown
so i hope you’ll be my wife
God is the God of what’s best for me
has He given me sight to see that it’s you?
or do i desire fruit from a tree
a dream best left untrue?
i write this like a man unguarded
drawn to danger, left to die
they say i’ll end up broken hearted
but for the sake of love i try

for little Martin
listen to mp3
they say you’re on the way
they say you’re near
it’s your first day
of your first year
we’ve been waiting
to watch you grow
to see you testing out your fingers
and curl those tiny toes
we’ll feed you and clothe you
and send you to school
we’ll fix your scraped knees
and your bicycle too
until you can wallk
we’ll carry you
so start a new story
this is chapter one
just imagine the work
that God’s begun
how far will you travel
where will you stay?
follow God where He leads you
you’ll be ok
he’ll guide you, beside you
he’ll be your rescue
he’ll fix broken hearts
if you only ask him to
and when it’s just to hard to walk
he’ll carry you

listen to the mp3
if i climbed to the highest
would you know my name
if i hid in the lowest
would you still see my shame?
if i cry cause i’m lonely
would you send a friend
if i tell her goodbye
will i see her again?
why waste my wonder
on the skies i live under
cause You’re tryin’ to teach
let go of what is out of Your reach
if i walked in the fire
could you cool the flames
if i fell to the lions
would you make them tame?
if i follow my heart
will it be my guide
if i fell from the path
will you know that i tried
if i walked away
would you not give chase
if i was lost in the would
could i find your grace
if i could step from this land
and shake off the dust
if i could wake in a dream
i would still need You, Jesus
