Abide 03:41
In the fresh early morning while the dew hangs heavy in the air November air I was looking for an answer that would make me a survivor here I couldn’t help but stare Cause the trees were all singing of a slow steady wisdom that was before the earth The lines in the face of the mountains far away stared me down with so little change They said Abide like branches in the vine evergreen trees all the time though the seasons change though the seasons change Other trees may fall around us wind and flame and rain surround us in Your love our souls remain in Your love our souls remain Have you heard the sparrows singing have you seen them pulling worms up in the rain? Are you still afraid? From the gentle hand of Papa comes the breath that proves His grace don’t be afraid And the trees were all singing of a slow steady Word that is with God Those lines in the face of the mountains far away still stare me down with so little change

Only One 03:10
Have you ever stared straight up at the sky and seen the clouds come floating by? We’re so like clouds just wisps in the wind blowing around Jesus is the only one that can catch the clouds and keep them in Have you ever watched an ocean wave fall watch it live and die so fast? We’re so like waves with reckless abandon we crash around Jesus is the only one that can tame the sea He calms us down Have you ever watched a tree in the wind seen it bend heard it creak? We’re so like trees exposed to the elements our loads are too much Jesus is the only one that can lift your head He carries your pain

Lone Bird 03:17
I watched a lone bird flying home at dusk Something ‘bout watching those power lines sway in the cool summer breeze at the end of the day Seventeen sparrows watching one fly away heaven’s calling hard on my heart Life is like the slow steady burn of a candle wick cold wind kisses us goodnight I watched a lone bird flying home at dusk Something ‘bout staring at the cold black sky it sings a silent music that shines a sacred light Whispers of a God that won’t ever be quiet one night I saw the northern lights Who is this God that makes light shows in the sky? I’ve never seen Your face but you blow me away I watched a lone bird flying home at dusk Something ‘bout sleeping all these miles from home waking up at three to that train whistle blowing Cold clean air breathing into my nose this world ain’t my home What is life if it’s not full of love? What is love if we don’t freely give? I watched a lone bird flying home at dusk

Healing 04:38
Inside my hand-me-down suitcase there are newspapers full of my past I carried them north but they’re heavy and they put too much strain on my back So I dropped them halfway to Seattle yeah I dropped them and only looked back to watch as they fell by the wayside and I lifted my eyes as they crashed The moon and the ocean were talking they said healing would come in time It’s been a while since we knew hope was lost every now and again I still cry But I dropped them halfway to Seattle I’ve been trying my best to move on To surrender a dream is a heavy, heavy thing And you know what you lost when it’s gone honey, know what you lost when it’s gone That fresh oak tree outside my window bleeds sap from its scars just like mine The wind and the rain made it fight for its life but I’ve watched it come out stronger every time So I’m fixing my eyes on my savior He knows all the scars that I’ve made I’ll fight hard as an oak tree cause there’s joy in the life that He gave Healing is a journey will you walk with me It might be miles and miles and miles before these ocean eyes can see I know Jesus is a healer will you walk with me And remind me that He’s got a reason for all of this heartbreak I’m feeling

Home 02:52
This is home for a while This is home for a while A little while I’m here A little while and I’m gone This is home for a while The rain clouds form up above for the first time in two months But that’s ok it reminds me where I’m from This is home for a while I see the seine upon the deck threatening the seasons catch The Valiant rocks back and forth to my song This is home for a while I miss a girl I don’t know I miss a girl I don’t know A thousand miles from here she’s waiting on the shore for me I miss a girl I don’t know We are just passing through We are just passing through A little longer we’ll be gone oh Lord This is home for a while

Eyes hang heavy like a rainy cloud over the Cascades Heart beats steady like a folk guitar being strummed out in the rain Steam rolls off my coffee cup disappears into the day Oh Jesus, You have my heart today These calloused hands you gave me work hard at this trade Late nights and early mornings and the middle of the day I always feel You closest when I’m running out of strength Oh Jesus, You have my heart today You’re all that I find beautiful The only one that healed my soul Always on my mind you know Papa guide my steps on home I find these shorelines etched by the jagged mark of time I see the corners of my face develop the same lines I make a point to read the Word and let it change my life Oh Jesus, You have my heart tonight
