I Know

I know your world is crashing down again
I know you’ve hit that great big wall again
The next big thing turned into one more waste of time
You thirst for something to bring some meaning
Feel like a failure and don’t know where to turn
Cause how can you start over when you feel so far behind?/
I know I’ve been right there for you again
I know I’ve come each time you’ve called again
But now it seems that I’ve been holding out on you
You see the secret that I’ve been keeping
Is what you needed but I was too afraid
So the help that I was giving wasn’t that much help at all
CHORUS:
But I know, I know, I know the answer
I know, I know, I know the One
Who will wash the slate clean, start a new scene, forget your tragic past
I know, I know, I know the answer
I know, I know, I know the One
Who can give it all to you, life that’s brand new, joy that’s meant to last
He’s what you’re searching for and He’s waiting at the door
I know
I know He’s calling out to you again
I know He’s willing to forgive again
But you think it doesn’t matter, that these gods are all the same
I’m gonna tell you about a Savior//Who is the reason that I’m satisfied
He is the purpose and the meaning, and Jesus is His name
CHORUS:
But I know, I know, I know the answer
I know, I know, I know the One
Who will wash the slate clean, start a new scene, forget your tragic past
I know, I know, I know the answer
I know, I know, I know the One
Who can give it all to you, life that’s brand new, joy that’s meant to last
He’s what you’re searching for and He’s waiting at the door
I know
Don’t let fear or questions keep you from His grace
Let me take you to the cross so you can see the Savior’s face
CHORUS:
But I know, I know, I know the answer
I know, I know, I know the One
Who will wash the slate clean, start a new scene, forget your tragic past
I know, I know, I know the answer
I know, I know, I know the One
Who can give it all to you, life that’s brand new, joy that’s meant to last
He’s what you’re searching for and He’s waiting at the door
I know

Thinner Disguise

Your grace to me is like the evening sky
And I found, and I found
It’s covering me and spreading out all around
All around, all around
Culture without You, in this culture without You
May your mercy abound
If my heart is a house of cards, Lord, knock it down
Knock it down, may my suffering knock it down
Your hand reaching down to me flying
Close to the ground, too close to the ground
World not about You, in this world not about You
Your Love is unfound
I may suspect we’ve become too proud to know You
I pray we’re not too late to bow down before You
Come back to me like the first small drops of evening rain
From the sky, from the sky
When tonight I know all heaven will come pouring down
From on high, from on high
Living without You, if I’m living without You
A thinner disguise

True Vine
02:49
|

|
Child of sorrow, child of woe
Holding out for better time
Just don’t ask for contribution
Yours is yours, mine is mine
CHORUS:
Catered to and amused
Show me your sign
Wisp of a dream
Where is the True Vine?
Where ocean depths flow
Rainbows trace the rain
You’re the Hope of every nation
Solace for the pain
CHORUS:
Catered to and amused
In the starry summer sky
Wisp of a dream
Where is the True Vine
I feel Your promise in the morning
I seek You, Lord, set me free
Precious name, o how sweet
Sweeter still Your face to see
CHORUS:
Catered to and amused
In the starry summer sky
Wisp of a dream
You are the True Vine

Help Me To Trust
04:23

Here I am again down on my knees tonight
Another crisis, another trial, and I’m asking why
It seems like circumstances are so messed up and You’ve left me on my own
I can’t make out how this heartbreaking situation
Could ever lead to anything that You might work for good
It’s hard to take a step when I can’t seem to see where it will land
But You call me to have faith, say Your ways are not my ways, and so I pray
CHORUS:
Help me to trust when I don’t understand
Help me to be confident in Your master plan
I may not comprehend it all, but You won’t let me fall
Lord, help me to trust when I don’t understand
When Abraham led Isaac up the mountain
Did he fear that You had forgotten Your promises
Did Gideon feel all alone when you told most of his army to go home
When Lazarus died, did Martha see the reason
Why Your response to her cry for help was so delayed
Did Joseph feel deserted by You when jailed for doing only what was right
CHORUS:
Help me to trust when I don’t understand
Help me to be confident in Your master plan
I may not comprehend it all, but You won’t let me fall
Lord, help me to trust when I don’t understand
You never promised all the answers in advance,
but You’ll take care of me, You’ll be there with me,
and You are good
CHORUS:
Help me to trust when I don’t understand
Help me to be confident in Your master plan
I may not comprehend it all, but You won’t let me fall
Lord, help me to trust when I don’t understand
You’re in control, what else is there to know?
Lord, help me to trust when I don’t understand

Copies and Shadows
03:21

I look around this world at the things Your hands have made
And I’m amazed at just the small part I can see
The way things work together, the way the seasons change
There are so many parts that are still a mystery
But creation isn’t perfect since sin has entered in
Groaning in labor pains till You set it right
Recreate your pride and joy and make all things brand new
With a land of no death, no sorrow, and no night
Now the mirror’s dim, but soon we’ll see You face to face
But right now it’s just the copies and shadows of that place
CHORUS:
Lord, I’m longing for that day
When I will finally hear you say
Well done, my child, you’ve finished a long race
Now come into my presence
And you can find your rest
There are no more copies and shadows in this place
You gave detailed instructions on how your temple should be built
And I imagine that it was glorious to behold
But the reason for those details was to give us a small glimpse
Of how it’s gonna look when we walk those streets of gold
Now the mirror’s dim, but soon we’ll see You face to face
But right now it’s just the copies and shadows of that place
CHORUS:
Lord, I’m longing for that day
When I will finally hear you say
Well done, my child, you’ve finished a long race
Now come into my presence
And you can find your rest
There are no more copies and shadows in this place
We sing our praise together and raise our hands to You
Making a joyful noise just as best we can
But when people from every nation gather round Your throne
There’s never going to be a better sounding band
Now the mirror’s dim, but soon we’ll see You face to face
But right now it’s just the copies and shadows of that place
CHORUS:
Lord, I’m longing for that day
When I will finally hear you say
Well done, my child, you’ve finished a long race
Now come into my presence
And you can find your rest
There are no more copies and shadows in this place
