When you’re driving at night on those dark mountain roads
they wind like the serpent that haunts you
when you feel it the least, that’s when you need it the most:
I’m still here

Hard
04:36
|

Sometimes it's hard
To find a new metaphor
To say the same old cliche
‘Cause whatever I'm saying
Has been said before
And it's hard.
I could call it a battle
I could call it a march
I could call it a road long and cold
There's a light in the distance
And He's waiting there for me
But it's still hard.
Jesus, He told us
That it wouldn't be easy
And boy, don't I know that it's true.
‘Cause easy was raising a man from the dead
But being humble seems harder to do
And it's hard
To get out of this mess
And it's hard
To drop my pride and confess
Though I know all the lingo and all the cliches
It means nothing if he's not in control.
Jesus came down to save me
But what does that mean?
Does my life really show that I know?
If it don't change my behavior
Then it don't change a thing
And it's hard.
‘Cause when I open my eyes
And see my own helplessness
It makes all the difference, you see
‘Cause the lingo is lost in the light of his grace
The cliches have new meaning to me.
And it's hard
To get out of this mess
And it's hard
To drop my pride and confess
Though I know all the lingo and all the cliches
It means nothing if he's not in control.
There's a light in the distance
And He's waiting there for me
there's a light in the distance
And He's waiting there for me
But it's still hard...

Untitled/Give Me Jesus
05:38
|

In the morning when I rise
Get out of bed and rub my eyes
And wonder how I'm gonna make it through the day
Because the weeks go by like seconds
but the days go by like months,
before I get a chance to breathe,
a new one has begun.
Chorus:
Won't you soothe my troubled mind
So I can get some rest?
‘Cause I've given up pretending I'm the one who knows best
And you said, "come to me with your burdens, if you're weary I will love you"
And it's been weighing on my mind, it's been weighing on my mind.
Dark midnight was my cry
I feel empty, don't know why.
Won't you save me from the things I think I need?
‘Cause I'm just trying to make it through
With my sanity intact
Cause I've got front row tickets
but it feels like I'm sitting in the back
Chorus
Just about the break of day
I've got nothing more to say
‘Cause the lies I tell myself are wearing thin
Because I'm nothing if not selfish
And I show no restraint
When I know I'm chief of sinners
but still I call myself a saint
Chorus
Oh, and when I come to die,
Don't be sorry, please don't cry
Because I've killed myself a thousand times before
To be reborn a better man
I will die by my own hand
And I will crucify my mind to be at peace
Chorus
Give me Jesus, Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
But give me Jesus

Praise Interlude
02:28
|

Give Him praise for He’s the one
When I am broken and undone
And have more questions than answers
When I’m ready to give up
I have the faith to know I’m loved
Though the night is long and cold
Though the path is seldom sure
He gives me strength, I can endure
His eyes see further down the road
No I don’t deserve this love
Or all these blessings from above
From Him whose heart is overflowing

Broken
04:56
|
|||
When I’m down
And all alone
When I’m a million
Miles from home
When I’m sick
In failing health
But I’m too proud
To call for help
Lord, you’re with me when I doubt you
When I cannot see your hand
Lord, you put me back together
when I’m broken
Won’t you lead me to your goodness
Let me see all of your grace
Won’t you put me back together
‘Cause I’m broken
Lord, I’m down
I Feel so alone
I’m so far from where I left you
From my home
I’m so sick
I’ve lost my health
I’ve lost my pride
I need your help
And I believe
That you can hear
That your love never left me
That you’re near

For Me
04:08
|
|||
My heart is obstinate and doesn't want to budge
My heart is selfish and it doesn't want to love
And I know that Jesus came and He took our sin and shame
Then turned around and told us "do the same"
And I know I need to love, and that comes only from above
But my ego just keeps getting in the way
If He can heal the broken-hearted and can cure every disease
Then He can help me to be humble, and love my enemies
Cause He's the lover of the loveless ones and caused the blind to see
If He can do that for some fishermen, I know He can for me.
I've tried to make myself into something good
I've tried so hard but I just can't do the things I know I should
If there's one thing that I know, it's that I can't do this on my own
Because I've tried and failed to break this heart of stone
And Jesus took my sin, so if I'd only come to Him
He'll cleanse my heart and put peace inside my soul
Change my heart
Give me peace
Give me love for my enemies
‘Cause my heart is stubborn and hard
And I'm tired cause I've run so far
