Show Jesus.

Your smile's always shinning out, And they know what it's all about, It's not, hard for them to figure out, The way you show Jesus. You know love is what they heard, And you didn't even say a word. Ain't it funny that's the way it works, When you know Jesus. Oh it's like flipping on a light switch when you're walking into this room, It's so undeniable. I gotta tell you that I like the way, Any time anywhere any place. It's written all over your face, The way you love Jesus. And it always speaks to me, A little joy with a touch of peace, It's so inspiring, The way you show Jesus. When I'm feeling down on my luck, When life's hard and times get tough, You're right there to pick me up, When you bring Jesus. Cause every now and then, We all need a really good friend. You're always one of them, When you show Jesus.

I want to live like that.

Sometimes I think, What will people say of me, When I'm only just a memory, When I'm home where my soul belongs, Was I love, When no one else would show up, Was I Jesus to the least of those, Was my worship more than just a song? I want to live like that, And give it all I have, So that everything I say and do, Points to You. If love is who I am, Then this is where I'll stand, Recklessly abandoned, Never holding back, I want to live like that. Am I proof that You are who you say You are? That grace can really change a heart? Do I live like Your love is true? People pass, And even if they don't know my name, Is there evidence that I've been changed? When they see me, do they see You? I want to show the world the love You gave for me, I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King.

You Lead.

I've got waves that are tossin' me, Crashin' all over my beliefs,And in all sincerity, Lord, I wanna be yours, So pull me out of this mess I'm in, Cause I know I'm wanderin'. Lead my soul back home again, I've always been yours.And this world may push, may pull, But your love it never fails. You lead, I'll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow, Your grip, Your grace, You know the way, You guide me tenderly. When you lead, I'll follow. Just light the way and, I'll go. 'Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see,
So lead me on, on, on and on, Just lead me on, on, on and on. As a child I heard your voice, But as a girl I made my choice, There is no other way for me, I'm devoted to you. You're my peace on the heavy days, You're the warmth of an autumn blaze, Your love carries me away, And it's never too soon, no...Sometimes when I wake up, I don't wanna rise up, Out of my bed, too many thoughts in my head. Don't wanna be who I used to be, Gonna take the back seat and let you lead, And I... Need to stop, need to stop, Cause I'm going too fast, And I... Know my God is still God, And you got my back
Lead me on.

Hold Me Together

Hello Mercy, I have been searching for you lately. I've been wounded and from what I hear, You have the remedy. They told me You would be for me, So now I need to know. Is this a love that can save me? Or say You will then don't.

Will You stay with me when nobody is around? If this is real, then tell me now. Can you hold me together? Can your love reach down this far? Can you hold me together? Cause without You holding my heart, I'm falling apart. Saying so long, been lost, been gone, Not sure what to pray. It's not easy but, I know You see me when I lose my way. I keep on floating not knowing if there is more for me. Don't want to sink beneath waves of negativity. I'm going under, I'm afraid that I might drown. If this is real, I need you now. I'm feeling stronger with you by my side. And I realize you are my hope.

Times.

I know, I need you. I need to love you. I'd love to see you, its been so long. I long to feel you. I feel this need for you. I need to hear you, is that so wrong? Now you pull me near you. When we're close I fear you. Still im afraid to tell you all that I've done. are you done forgiving? or can you look past my pretending? Lord, I'm so tired of defending what I've become. what have i become? I hear you say, 'my love is over, its underneath, its inside its in between. The times you doubt me, when you can't feel. the times that you question "is this for real?" the times that your broken and the times you mend. the times you hate me, the times you bend. my love is over, its underneath, it's inside it's in between. these times your healing, and when your heart breaks . the times you feel like your falling from grace. the times your hurting. the times that you heal. the times you go hungry and are tempted to steal. in times of confusion, chaos and pain. im there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame. im there through your heartache, im there through the storm. my love, i can keep you through my power alone. I don't care where your falling, or where you have been. i'll never forsake you, my love never ends."
