I reckon I'm a wreck and you're the victim
One second I'm a hit, next I'm missing
I'm checking the box for my condition
I'm letting you in to have a listen
I'm losing a chance to win
I'm choosing to pack it in
Excuse me while I fall again
To my knees
I want to follow you, why do I make that so hard
I want to follow you, make a home in my heart
I want to follow you, I've got some things to let go
I want to follow you, make my heart your home
I believe I won't be leaving on a full flight
I'm relieved I don't relive every dull night
This ceiling leaves a feeling that just floors me
I'm reeling, then you reel me back to core things

Blue skies to chase my blues away
Sunshine to trace the world you made
And I can't thank you enough
Outside 'neath a shady tree
I realize what you've done for me
And it's more than all we've done
Somedays all it takes is a sunny day
I'm grateful for each one
Thank you for summertime
Love that warm sunshine
Full moon feels a bit empty now
But I can't let it get me down
As I see your heavenly stars
Swimming out in Lake Michigan
It's not frozen but I wish again
That I could freeze this summer in time
Fall will follow when summer hollows
But God's creation springs to life
Thanks for summertime
Love that warm sunshine

Trouble comes when I don't need it to
Just like you would expect it to
I'm asking for it even when I'm not
I felt the guilt but i forgot
How can I neglect the single greatest sacrifice of all
Without you I'm wondering what to do
just like you would expect me to
I build the trap then catch myself surprised
that I am caught in a lie
How easily I neglect you and forget why I'm here
Clear out my thoughts so I see the cross
What seemed like a loss, but you saved all of us
Remind me each day in your own special way
of the cross and the clay. We're saved by your grace.

Stranger (Word)

This road’s never seemed so alone. This road’s never seemed so alone.
We walked along and hung our heads, can’t believe he’s really dead
This road’s never seemed so all alone.
Stranger do you mean you haven’t heard? Stranger do you mean you haven’t heard?
Three days ago they killed him dead, we hoped that we’d be saved instead
Stranger do you mean you haven’t heard?
The stranger said “why can’t you understand?” The stranger said “why can’t you understand?
Don’t you know that suffering was necessary for this king?”
The stranger said “why can’t you understand?”
We begged him stay and share a meal with us. We begged him stay and share a meal with us.
But when he blessed and broke the bread, before his name could once be said
He disappeared, but we knew it was Jesus
He rose from the grave, oh he rose. He rose from the grave, oh yes he rose
He came to us in our despair, nourishment and love to share
He rose from the grave, oh he rose.

Strong at Heart (Meal)

He never really spoke about his problems
He never showed a sign of slowing down
He never even hinted at retiring
He never needed help to get around
He always had open arms to greet you
He always had a story that you'd want to hear
He always kept up with all the latest
He always kept you wishing he was near
So I couldn't believe it when they told me
his heart was weak and working poorly
because I never met a man with a stronger heart than
the one that belonged to my grandfather
John Raymond Martin leave your mark for the strong at heart
Every Tuesday we'd go out for some tacos and
Every time we'd fight over the bill
Every night I'd listen to his wisdom and
Every day I'd try to be more like him
He gave us his smile that could beat a rainbow
He gave us his love that saw no end
He gave his life to caring for his dear wife
He gave us all a glimpse of how to live
The day I saw him laying in the casket
Is a day I never will forget
The saddest day that has passed me in my short life
The saddest tears that have fallen on my cheek
The last time we talked he offered advice
He said to work hard and love your beautiful wife
And now each day when I look toward the heavens
I know he is looking down at me with a smile.

Looking out at this ocean of clouds below
Rising up like islands, the volcanoes
I can dream of the places I can go
But there's a little piece of heaven outside of my window
I'll take in all I can
Restore me to what I am
A glimpse of what you plan for me
Give us your daily bread
We feed on the words you said
We seek first your kingdom and righteousness
Leaving town, no particular place to be
Sleep beneath, the magnolias are canopies
I love a good drive in the countryside, godspeed
With a little piece of heaven floating on the breeze
Night lights of Austin from my balcony
Stop lights turn flashing, then back to green
I'll give my life to this lady beside me
A little piece of heaven must have seen my dream
Over the ocean of clouds or under the magnolia tree
A little piece of heaven is inside me

How Do I (Sending)

How do I reach for the stars
When my arms don't stretch that far
How can I promise the world
Without a plan that's word for word
I know there's blue skies above the rain clouds
and there are good days beyond these here
I'll have faith in what I can't see
and ask God, please shelter me
Why do I walk in the dark
When I know you've got the spark
How can I teach them some good
Though I did not, when I should
Why do I ignore the signs
Even when they look me in the eyes
How do I know where I'm going
When I think about where I've been
