Sundre

The barren tree grows next to the evergreen
Beneath a painted sky as big as you've ever seen
You'll end up staring longer than you'd think you might
Though the mountains lie beyond our line of sight
I heard about a cougar that lives out in the snow
I went looking for a fight but he didn't show
And the light will fade on you before you know
You better see all that you can before it goes
Because your rest is on the other side of surrender of your pride
There's peace, it's on the other side
We're letting go to find
You can walk a path and never know it's beautiful
But horizon's shine bright at nightfall
Take solace in the million stars for miles
Because it might be getting dark for a little while
But your rest is on the other side of surrender of your pride
There's peace, it's on the other side
We're letting go to find
When you're in need just look up, just look up
With eyes to see there's quite enough to fill your cup
Don't pretend you're better off alone
You were made to have a home
Get lost out in the stars that span the night
And keep a weather eye for the morning light

My Keeper
04:00
|
|||
|
I lift my eyes // Where does my help come from? // My help comes from the Lord who made the earth and sun
My feet will not be moved, because my Father never sleeps // And he never fails to guard the ones he keeps
He is my keeper, the shade at my right hand
Heaven won't harm me, nor will the strength of man
Because he guards my steps, and he guards my life
And I will not be moved
He's my keeper

My Longing
05:02
|

|
Feels like a storm inside
I don't know the reason why
But I can't seem to let it go
I'm digging a shallow grave
Forsaking the peace I crave
Somehow I'm always last to know
I give you my longing
Stir up the water that's alive inside of me
Searching me through and through
There's hope here
I know there's a song inside to lift my head again
Giving my heart to you
They say when you fail you learn
But oh how the failures burn
I don't know if I can take much more
I know what you gave me then
Never to thirst again
But I sure feel thirsty now
I give you my longing
Stir up the water that's alive inside of me
Searching me through and through
Hope is a fire
And I know there's a song inside to lift my head again
Giving my heart to you
It's more than I know how to say
But I know that when I feel this way
All that's left to do is run to you and lift my hands up
My life is rushing by
A tangle of lows and highs
Tell me why I feel incomplete
Things that I used to love
I'm growing uncertain of
I can't trust my wandering feet

Dark Days
04:42
|

|
Dark days, snow and rain, or burning haze
It's all the same to my fallow heart
Eye's see hidden things, a barrier that's set between
me and who I could be
I'd tell you but you wouldn't understand
The bones we buried in the shifting sand
Light fades, dim to gray, but slow enough
So as not to faze my measured mind
In daylight this cave might have saved me from what I couldn't fight
But I'm alright
Down here I might be safe but I'm alone
Can I leave behind this home my heart has known?
One dark day, drowning in my buried treasure
I'd made a home behind these safety walls
They give way to a Jesus ocean
Where particles of light surround me in the night
And I'm free
Light bends, floating in a gentle water without end
But restless, still
Unbound, get turned around and tempted to swim right back down
But that home is gone
I'd swim to you but in my bones I know
There's no use in trying to get there on my own
One dark day, I left behind my buried treasure
The home I made behind those safety walls
That gave way to a Jesus ocean
Particles of light surround me in the night
Freedom don't come easy
I've run far enough to know
Love can't be purchased
I'm still learning to let go
On dark days I remember buried treasure
The home I'd made behind those safety walls
That gave way to a Jesus ocean
Where particles of light surround me in the night

Little Brown Bird

Little brown bird
Winged and wonderful
Haven't you heard?
No need for words
Blink the dark away
Little brown bird
Known from the start
That you're a miracle
Burned in our hearts
Your frame formed in part
What's you're hurry bird?
Early to start
Bound to keep your life, but cords unwind
And you'll be free
Free to fly to another tree
Light on up to a further branch
Because love is your destiny
No matter what your circumstance
Your father's got a hopeful soul
And your mom will keep an eye on you
Showing us the things that grace can do
Taking your time
While we catch our breath
Give us a sign
Hoping you'll find
The keys to all the doors
One at a time
You're a miracle
Little brown bird

Tremble
04:05
|
|||
|
Like a house in the thunder when the skies are torn asunder
Filled with hope, filled with wonder, I tremble
I tremble as your mighty voice calls the sinner's name
And your matchless love washes out my shame
When you shake the heavens life unfolds
In your presence I am whole
And I tremble
Peace a whisper in the night
Love, the blind man restored to sight
All the darkness gives way to light
And I tremble

Anchored
03:49
|

|
A raging storm // I've seen a few in my day, but this one turns my heart gray // I cry aloud "Oh, save me Lord, if you can" // he says, "Don't you know who I am?"
Who is this man? // the wind and waves obey him // why am I still afraid then? // he knows my name // his mercy sets the tides free and he walks beside me
Rise and fall I'm rolling with the waves // but I'm anchored to Jesus by a faith that's growing every stronger // growing ever stronger.
I hear a voice like a thousand demons begging for their freedom // they know his name // I tremble as they bow low in my savior's shadow
And then he smiles // he raises up the outcast, his mind his own at long last // lion and lamb // his enemies all fear him, and I get to be near him

Headed Home
03:44
|
|||
|
I'm headed home // a kind of home // but on the edge I feel alone // comforter, make me know your peace
If I dive in to waters deep, the great unknown, would you jump with me? // can I be free? // free enough to fall
Where who I am gets lost inside of gentle hands // I come alive in wind and fire // consuming flame, but I climb higher // 'til I'm not afraid
Unyielding spray of sea and foam // it purifies the depths of soul // discovering just how loved we are
This mountainside, un-compromised // invited up to greater heights // where I am known as I was made to be
