His Joy

I'm gonna leave all this world has to give me
Gonna leave it all behind
I'm gonna lose all the guilt and the suffering
Gonna throw it all aside

When it comes down to it I have a choice to make
I can sink or I can swim
When the rubber meets the road I have one path to take
My choice is to follow Him

I want His joy. I want His joy.
Time to make a decision
I want His joy. His joy.
Time to see with His vision.
Leave it all behind. Use His eyes as mine.
I want His joy.

Only You

V 1:
They say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
I'm sure I don't want this any longer
"It's not the end of the world," "It's who you know."
"Someday you'll understand." I say, "It hurts to grow."

If You've gone before me why is the path unclear?
If You've provided my needs why am I filled with fear?
It's not about the getting, it's all their taking.
All these doubts...inside I'm breaking.

C1:
Could it be that my sights are lost?
Could it be I'm shaky and tossed?
Bring me back toYour steady plan.
Reach out so I can take Your hand.
I don't have to be gripped by fear.
I just have to let You near.
I fix my eyes on You.
Only You

V3:
I've heard it said that love is blind.
From where I stand, You're not the kind
To veil Your truth, to mask Your grace.
No, love is pouring out from Your face.
I'm not listening to any more of their lies,
Loving something doesn't mean letting it fly.
I want to hold on tight and never let it go
You are the One, the One I know.

C2:
Could it be that my sights were lost?
Could it be I was shaky and tossed?
Bring me back toYour steady plan.
Reach out so I can take Your hand.
I don't have to be gripped by fear.
I just have to let You near.
I fix my eyes on You.
Only You

Just When

I'm the empty one.
Sitting in the back row.
I know it will soon pass.
But for now this is all so
Draining. Tiring. Sad.
I want to feel something..
Anthing. I'd even
Settle for mad.

It's all just become this way of life.
Can't put the pieces back all right.

But...

Just when I think I slipped Your mind.
Just when I think I was left behind.
Just when I think I'm so far away
You walk before me, I hear You say,
"Hang on. I'm still your friend."
Just then.

Funny how life seems
To pull me outside.
When I just want to fall
In Your arms and hide.
Take this away,
I've grown colder and colder
Help me to place
This hurt on Your shoulders.

It's all just become this way of life.
Can't put the pieces back all right.

But...

Just when I think I slipped Your mind.
Just when I think I was left behind.
Just when I think I'm so far away
You walk before me, I hear You say,
"Don't fear. I'm still your friend."
Just then.

I'm clinging by a thread
Dangling on a prayer
I'm holding my breath
Lord, show me You care
I believe in Your mercy.
I believe in Your grace.
I just want to look past
To see Your face.

But...
Just when I think I slipped Your mind.
Just when I think I was left behind.
Just when I think I'm so far away
You walk before me, I hear You say,
"Here I am. I'm still your friend."
Just then.
