“the desert” lyrics
Verse 1
If Your Glory does not go with me
Then do not bring
Me up from here
For the desert with You is better
Than milk and honey
Without You near
Chorus
And I have come to find You Lord
Please show me who You are
And I can't bear to walk alone
If I should go then let me know Your heart
Verse 2
And I have journeyed
With clouds of glory
And burning fires in the night
But I've longed
For the sight of much more
Oh let Your goodness
Flood my eyes
Bridge
Oh God my God
You have called me out by name
You have raised me up
You have led me to this place
Lord remove the veils
Let me look upon Your face
'Cuz all I ever wanted
Was to know You
And even paradise
Is hell without You

Lyrics
Verse 1
Why are you sad oh my soul
Why so angry now with yourself
Do you not know there is hope
Don’t you know this isn’t the end
Pre-Chorus
Oh I know that
With all these shadows
That somewhere there is sunshine
Out of sight but morning’s coming
Chorus
One more, one more step
I know you can do it
One more, one more step
Yes I know you’ll make it through
One more, one more step
Slowly and steady
You will win this race
One more, one more step
And you’ll reach
The promised land
Verse 2
There can be peace in the trouble
It’s the art of lifting your eyes
There can be joy in the sorrow
It may hurt oh but still
You’ve got to keep singing
Bridge
Oh don’t, don't you
Dare give up now
The wall’s about to come down
Don’t you dare
Take your last breath
You’re almost
Out of the wilderness

“I Believe” Lyrics
Verse 1
You and your promises
I fear are lost at sea
Drifting all alone
And far away from me
One day you'll roll back
Like a wave upon the sand
Crash in like the ocean
And end up on dry land
Chorus
I believe I believe
Verse 2
An undertow of truth
Is rising from beneath
You cannot escape it
Because the lies
Brought you so deep
Go on try and ford it
And see how far you get
One day love will claim you
And catch you in it's net
Bridge
I'm throwing out a bottle
With a message inside
Stand up straight walk upright
Quit living off the bottom
Of the dirty floor
Come on come on
What you waiting for

Porch Swing Lyrics
Verse 1
We could feel the stars
Watching over us
Just a winkin’
It was like the whole
World stood still
Just to watch us swinging
And You thanked the breeze
As you pulled me close
While we dreamed all night
Of what the future holds
Chorus 1
If I’ve got you
Then I am happy
My heart is full and worry-free
It’s plain and simple
Ain’t complicated
Just me and you
And that old porch swing
Verse 2
When did we begin
All this keeping up
With the Joneses
We don’t need the white trim
Or the picket fence
Or the roses
It may look greener
On the other side
But it won’t be sweeter
Than that summer night
Chorus 2
If I’ve got you then I am happy
My heart is full and worry-free
We made this whole thing
Too complicated
Just take me back
To that old porch swing
Bridge
Let’s just slip away
To that old familiar place
Ending
Let’s keep it simple
Don’t complicate it
Just me and you
And that old porch swing

Already Yours Lyrics
Verse 1
If you’re feeling down
And you’re all alone
Then I got a hand you can hold
Put your hand in mine
Let me walk you through
There ain’t nothing
That I wouldn’t do
Chorus
Don’t you even think just call
You don’t have to ask at all
If you want my love
It’s already yours
You ain’t got to beg or plead
Honey you just come to me
If you want my love
It’s already yours
Verse 2
Come and cast your cares
Ease your worried mind
You got all my heart
You can take my time
I won't ever judge you
And always speak the truth
Honey that’s just
What my love will do
Bridge
If you need some joy
Or little strength
I wanna be the one that you call
In the midnight hour
When you need a friend
I’ll help you up when you fall
Ending
If you want my love
It’s already yours
If you want my love
It’s already yours

Everyday Man feat. Marcy Each
Live in La Porte, Indiana
From Turn Up The Lights
Lyrics
Verse 1
He gets up before
The sunrise every morning
Just to praise the Lord
And waken up the day
Takes his King James
To the table sips his coffee
And gathers strength
As he turns each yellowed page
Verse 2
Oh those words
Are the only truths he lives by
And every neighbor’s need
Becomes his very own
If he looks you in the eye
You know he means it
And the man you see
Is the same good man at home
Chorus
He is an every day man
With an every day life
Don’t seem like much
Looking in from the outside
But what you cannot see
Is what you need to understand
It's an every day faith
That makes an every day man
Verse 3
A whole day's worth of work
Is on his farm boots
The sun is setting
As he wrestles with his boys
Then he holds
The only girl he’s ever wanted
And he loves 'em all like
He never had a choice
Bridge
One day his face
Will show the weathered lines
Age will always chase us down
And steal our time
But everything he sowed
He'll surely reap
'Cause everything he taught
Will help us be (like)

One Thing I’ve Learned Lyrics
Verse 1
I forgot all Mamma taught
And made my bed in hell
I had wandered far from home
As good as dead until
The Lord remembered
Every prayer
My heart had dared to speak
And took me up on all the words
He'd ever heard me sing
Chorus
I may not know much
But I know this
The Lord's a promise keeper
And I'm His
He is fierce He is grace
He wouldn't let me get away
One thing I've learned
He will never change
Verse 2
I have written down
His words o'er melody and time
I am not who I once was
I'm now Freedom's prize
On the far side of the sea
Above celestial shores
I am seated with my King
Who reigns forevermore
Bridge
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
I have tested this again and again
I am His and He is mine
He'll prove it till the end of time
Forevermore I'll stand
In awe of Him
And He'll be better still
Than I can comprehend

“Because He Lives” Lyrics
Verse 1
God sent His Son
They called Him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive
He bled and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave
Is there to prove
My Savior lives
Chorus
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
Verse 2
How sweet to hold
Our newborn baby
And feel the pride
And joy he gives
But greater still
The calm assurance
This child can face
Uncertain days
Because Christ lives
Verse 3
And then one day
I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death
Gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know He reigns
