I Need Grace

I need grace
Not just the kind that stops you falling on your face
For all the moments and the thoughts I can't erase
And though I try I always come in second place
Hmm
I need time
For different parts of me to learn to sing in rhyme
And even though I'll always try and say I'm fine
There's something wrong with me that I can't quite define
Hmm-mm-mm-mm
Hmm-mm-mm-mm
Hmm-mm-mm-mm
Hmm-mm-mm-mm
How can it be
That you'll accept me even when I'm at my worst?
And when I turn my back oh still you put me first
A farmer who died to save his dirt
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Well I need grace
'Cause there's no way that I can ever run this race
And I'll keep hurting people all along the way
Those that are closest to me I will all betray
So I need grace
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-woah-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Man Up In The Sky
04:16

Why does it feel like watching paint dry
Waiting for the man up in the sky
To move and do something in me
To move and change the way I see
Why does it feel like anesthesia
Every time I say I need ya
And in my head are all the answers
I feel like I've run out of second chances
Tell the man up in the sky
Why does he make us wonder why
Why does he leave us high and dry sometimes
Loosely holding onto hope
I'm at the bottom of my rope
And I can barely cope this time
Why does it feel like pulling teeth
Waiting for you to answer me
If you're supposed bring me joy now
Why can't I hear you through all this noise
Tell the man up in the sky
Why does he make us wonder why
Why does he leave us high and dry sometimes
Loosely holding onto hope
I'm at the bottom of my rope
And I can barely cope this time
Tell the God of all creation
I'm sorry I run out of patience
When I can't see the light before me
Think that you're trying to ignore me
Tell the man up in the sky
That I still want the reasons why
But what I need is wings to fly this time
Loosely holding onto hope
I'm at the bottom of my rope
And I can barely cope this time
Tell the man up in the sky
That I still want the reasons why
But what I need is wings to fly this time
Loosely holding onto hope
I'm at the bottom of my rope
And I can barely cope this time
ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh-ooh
ooh-ooh
ooh
oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Well I'd give anything
To feel that hopeful innocence
That blissful kind of ignorance again
And if life's a road
Then I must be a cobblestone
Been trodden on again and again
I miss this time next year
And places where someone might hear you laugh, woah-oh-oh
I miss the shape of smiles
And passing people in shopping aisles without
A sharp intake of breath
When death comes quickly, takes you by surprise
At least you get the chance to look it in the eyes
But like a chisel on a mountain side
It might be years before you know if something's died
And I want to grieve
I want to count up the cost
But I still don't know what I've lost
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Seek and ye shall find
That my whole life's been undermined
The cost of hope has never been so high
I'll wait another day
And hope that I will find a way, but I
Don't know how long I'll last
When death comes quickly, takes you by surprise
At least you get the chance to look it in the eyes
But like a chisel on a mountain side
It might be years before you know if something's died
And I want to grieve
Yeah, I want to count up the cost
But I still don't know what I've lost
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I want to grieve
I want to count up the cost
But I still don't know what I've lost

Q&A
03:42
|

Get my life from a TV screen
See the world with the floodlights on
Nothing's ever quite as it seems
And tomorrow it's all gone
Gather 'round for the final show
I just hope it's for real this time
If it is only God can know
But still I cling to the warning signs
Nations rise and kingdoms fall but
I can see behind the curtain
Claim to love the God of all but
I can know these things for certain
Get my truth from a source unknown
And don't believe what the snowflakes say
The government's gonna eat our souls
'Aint got time for no Q and A
And everything's straight from hell it seems
And the Marxists are out in droves
Well I think God speaks to me in dreams
But ignore all the things He wrote
Nations rise and kingdoms fall but
I can see behind the curtain
Claim to love the God of all but
I can know these things for certain
The history of the human race is
Filled with death and deep affliction
But God, He turned away His face when
Trump didn't win the election
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Now concerning that day or hour, no one knows
Neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but only the Father
Therefore, be alert, since you do not know when the master of the house is coming
Whether in the evening, or at midnight
Or at the crowing of the rooster, or early in the morning
Mark 13, 32 and 35

Long Drive
04:11
|

Jump in the car
You take the driver's this time
We don't know how far
Or which way it will take us
We can look at the sky
And the lights that shine
From a million miles away
And feel the road turn gently below us
Well it's gonna be a long drive, honey
I just wanted you to know
There will be times when the road gets bumpy
And our hearts will fill with snow
But I just want to have you right there with me
If we're rich or if we're broke
Being in love doesn't make it easy
But it still can bring us home
Home
We've been doing just fine
Doesn't mean it was easy
Gravel roads and yield signs
And the tires gave out a couple of times
But through the starts and stops
The ups and downs we have been through
Know I'm not in this race against you
Well it's gonna be a long drive, honey
I just wanted you to know
There will be times when the road gets bumpy
And our hearts will fill with snow
But I just want to have you right there with me
If we're rich or if we're broke
Being in love doesn't make it easy
But it still can bring us home
Through all of the quick repairs
And break down scares I'll still be there
And though we won't know quite when
The sun will shine, it will shine again
Well it's gonna be a long drive honey
I just wanted you to know
There will be times when the road's not bumpy
And our hearts begin to glow
And I just want to have you right there with me
When we reap and when we sow
Being in love doesn't make it easy
But it still can bring us home
Well it's gonna be a long drive honey
I just wanted you to know
There will be times when the road's not bumpy
And our hearts begin to glow
And I just want to have you right there with me
When we reap and when we sow
Being in love doesn't make it easy
But it still can bring us home
Still can bring us home
Still can bring us home
Still can bring us home
