Blessed is He

The hardest part of holding on

is letting go


and I guess it's time to let go

of all those

things


but just know

that even though

i might walk away


I'll never be far

I'll never give up

I'll never stop loving you


life is such a mystery

who knows

what's wrong

or right


only our great king

could knows such things


I'm just a simple creature

and my brain

tries so hard to make

sense of things


i can't possibly know

all these things

so i give it all to

you


I cast it all on you

because I know you love me

you never gave up on me


and when I fell down

to the ground and asked

for your hand

for your love

for your strength


I felt you right beside me

reaching out

picking me up

embracing with open arms


saying,

"welcome home my son"


and from that moment

I'll never look back


so I'll be whatever it is that

you

want me to be


I won't forget

what you did for

me


and so I know

all these things

are in your hands


my heart

my love

my soul


I give it to you first

so that you may

guide me


my heart explodes with your

love


I'm so on fire


you said

be hot or cold

and least of all

lukewarm


and I'm burning up

inside


and I just want to

share it wit those

souls

I left behind


I know you've

forgiven

me


but I seek

redemption

my king


but I won't forget

that I must

seek your kingdom before

all things


but even thought

I'm letting go

I'll never give up


and just maybe

one day

they may see

how your love

radiates

through me


I'll be your humble servant

I'll wash your feet

I'll do whatever it is

you ask of me


I'll testify

before whoever

will listen to me

speak


I'll give you

all the glory

all the praise


for you have

saved and forgiven

me


and so I must

do whatever it is

you

ask of me


I'll never forget

that night

I said

your prayer

and

you heard

my cries


in your grace

you washed

down upon me


and the tears

just poured out

of me


like a faucet

a river

a creek

but more like a

sea


I realized that man

the man I was


died that

night


and so I was

re born

changed and transformed


I'll be the man

you

see me as


I'm so

blessed

that I can see

so clearly

now


perceptions

changed


how could

I know it would be so

simple

that my life

would be so

simple


and all the

pains

burned out of my

heart


and

replaced by your

love


I'll walk with you

everyday


and I'll never

look back


for you will make a way

when there is

no way


and i'll put all my

faith

in you


my Lord

my King

my Savior


for I'll be

whatever it is

you

want me to be


break me father

so you can

use me


I'll give you

everything


all of

me


I'll wash your

feet


thank you

father

for not ever

giving up on

me....

The price you pay

it's all about love

and I know I love you


I'd do anything

all you need is ask

but it's just not the same


I want so bad to share this with you

but i don't think you'll be coming back

and that's ok, if it's what you need


I can't stop saying

I'm sorry

you should of left me a long time ago


I'm not proud

I wish I could of done things different

I just want to make it all up to you

but I know better


it's the first time in my life

I put her needs before mine

I know it's all gonna be alright

I can't turn around and backtrack

this is the way things are

and I'm not gonna look back


step by step

I'll walk this path

so new,

so unfamiliar


but for the first time

I don't fret

because I know

I know

he's there for me


Some of those cliche things are so true


I never realized I was such a fool

so afraid

to feel

I tried so hard to keep it at bay


I think about all I had

I think about all I lost


I guess maybe it's time to let go

I want to hold on so bad

I wish I knew


every little thing I could not see

all I took for granted

how could I be so blind


I just want to turn back the clock

grab hold of it

of you

embrace it with all I've got


hindsight is such a twisted thing

how could I know

my life wouldn't be the same


such a gift to see your face

and start my day

to have you share my bed

to have you put your arms around me

to wake up and make love to you


damm I'm was such a fool...


now my bed is empty and cold

cause your not here anymore

I just want you to come back home

but I don't know if you'll ever knock on that door

I miss you so much


my life

my heart

my soul


I'll never hold back

I'll never give you doubt

I'll never make those mistakes


but maybe this is the cost to know such things

it's a high price to pay

and now I know

I won't ever go back


so bitter sweet

my eyes open wide

I can see so vividly


they say, if it's true

then it will find it's way back to you


So I put my faith in truth

it's truth that will set me free


I'd give you everything

all of me


my life

my heart

my soul


and if it's not you

that comes knocking on this door


I promise not to ever be such a fool

i won't ever lose another like you


my life

my wife


I wonder who she'll be

that comes knocking on this

door...

Faith

My heart beats, and my soul wonders


no one said it would be easy


this life

it's the only you have my friend


I ask for strengh....


I feel like i've done it all wrong


but there is no right way to follow your heart


I ask for strength...


all this will be as what it's meant to be


too long I held back

too long, my fear directed me


I can't stop being afraid

the fear will never leave


I ask for strength...


I purge these things from my body


I may be wrong,

I may be right,


I will not know till I'm on the other side


I ask for strength...


little by little

the sun starts to shine


my mind is staring to break free


I used to let the fog

blanket me,

shield me,


I ask for strength...


this man won't hide


you are my

love


you are my

life


I know with you at my

side


I can do anything


I ask you to believe in

me


I ask for you hand


you give me

strength


I'll be a better man...
