VENEER
IN A WRLD
It′s hard to carve out the space you need to breathe
In a world eating itself as fast as it can
Hard to be the change you say you want to see
When all you can see is through a lens of fear
We all live forever in our minds
Until we're all but out of time
What′s the point of forever?
If you can't get past yourself
Enough to start again
And heal
And break the cycles that tear us down
That keep us torn apart
If I could start again I know I can
Learn to let it go
Just dim reflections of
The One who made us
The walls dividing us deny we were made for more
How can we ever really see each other?
IN A WRLD
Dark and light. It comes with a price.
What am I feeding on the inside?
Death and life. It comes with a price.
What am I feeding on the inside?
What's the point of forever?
If you can′t forgive yourself
Enough to start again and heal
And break the cycles that tear us down
That keep us torn apart
If we could start again
I know we could learn to let it go
We′ve got to let it go
If not now when is it time to let it go?
Veneer
There′s nothing left for me here
I'm under no illusions
Just beneath the veneer there′s nothing to hold onto
I have nothing to fear as long as You are here
With me
I'll keep holding on to you
In my heart I'll hold You true
You promised me
More than anything
If I keep holding on to You
You′ll finish this story like You promised me
You will never leave.
Without You is a lie.
There′s nowhere I could hide
I need more than allusions
The only light I have in me is You
You make all things new.
You lift me up
When all I know is pain
You adjust my gaze
And bring it back to Yours
Coda
Strands of time unwind
As we′re caught In their wake
Blindsided by where all the time went
My thoughts are quieter than they used to be
I used to fight Love alone in silence.
I was the enemy
No one said it would be easy
It would help to know the difference
Can't quite place my finger on it
What our hearts are breaking for?
Slow it down
Show more kindness
Learn to Love
Give it away
We've got to give it away
We all leave empty handed
Take it or leave it
I'd rather leave it
and give it away
All Things
You′re the one who started this
When You showed faith in me
When I had none left to give myself
More than anything I know
You're true
If I don′t have You
What do I have?
What's in a word if it means nothing?
What's fabricated in the absence of the truth?
When I hear Your voice it resonates
Like nothing else I have ever known to be true
All this time I've been too blind to see it
Why You went to such great lengths to reconcile
All things
You're the one who started this
You always keep your promises
You′re the one I've been searching for
Where could I run from Your grace
I hide Your words
Where You go I follow
I will follow You
You lead me
Beside still waters
You lead me
You restore my soul
