Screw It Up

[Verse 1]
I never know, never know what I'm doing
I never know what I'm getting into
You got me thinkin' that we could be somethin'
And that's about the time I take off runnin'

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends all say I should be confident
But I'm not confident

[Chorus]
Don't want to screw this thing up
You know I'm not too good at love
We've got a shot but it'd be just my luck to screw it up

[Verse 2]
I'd take the alphabet put "u" and "i" together
But maybe right where we are is better
One day it’s yes, then it’s no, then it’s maybe
I'm hot and cold; Katy Perry would hate me

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends all say I should be confident
I'm pretty confident

[Chorus]
That I might screw this thing up
You know I'm not too good at love
We've got a shot but it'd be just my luck to screw it up
Don't really want to take a risk
Too scared that if I did I'd miss
A fifty-fifty chance but with my luck
I'd screw it up

[Bridge]
The more I think about it
The more I know for sure
It's highly possible that...
*Gasp, "You screwed it up."
"Just keep going."

Somethin’ Bout A Small Town

[Verse 1]
We were always drivin' toward them big city lights
Always chasin' down something new
I went out in jeans with some holes in the legs
You went out in country girl boots
We walked down the streets with our heads tipped all the way back
So we could look at the view
The bright lights and the sky rise pointed to the stars
You said, "I like it here, do you?"
I said, "Sure, it’s great…"

[Chorus]
But there's somethin' bout a small town
Population just about 750 if you count all the cows
People in the same place
Country grown, born and raised; no one gets lost in the crowd
There's somethin' bout a small town

[Verse 2]
We would always drive my daddy's ATVs
Goin' when the sign said 'stop'
It's fine to ride anything down the main drag
When there's only one part-time cop
So we revved up the engine and flew down Main Street at 97, maybe 98
Just in time to make it to my Grandma's house
She's so good at fillin' hearts and fillin' plates
And boy, her apple pie is great

[Chorus]
I said there's somethin' bout a small town
Population just about 750 if you count all the cows
People in the same place
Country grown, born and raised; no one gets lost in the crowd
There's somethin' bout a small town

[Bridge]
Sunday morning church, listenin' to the Word in the pew
Next to brothers and sisters, misses and misters who all care about you

[Chorus]
I said there's somethin' bout a small town
Population just about 750 if you count all the cows
People in the same place
Country grown, born and raised; no one gets lost in the crowd

One more time!

Better Than My Life

[Verse 1]
Your love is better than my life
Before a clock was set, you saw my every feature in the dust
Your crazy love

[Verse 2]
Your love is better than my life
Before we ever met, you laid down your life and called me son
Your crazy love

[Chorus]
Mhm-mm-mm-mm-mm
It's better than my life
Mhm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

[Verse 3]
Your love is better than my life
No greater joy have I found
Than to be changed as your spirit fills me of your crazy love

[Verse 4]
Your love is better than my life
I could die right now
Death will keep me from the Earth but never from your crazy love

[Chorus]
Mhm-mm-mm-mm-mm
It's better than my life
Mhm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

[Bridge]
When eternity is wrapped up in a moment
And my soul comes alive in full belief
The eyes of my heart no longer search to find life's reason
And I remember what I've learned since I was three
God loves me

[Verse 5]
Because your love is better than my life
My lips will praise only you
Jesus I have nothing but to trust your crazy love

I’m Over It

[Verse 1]
Melody is a medicine that can cure the heart somehow
So here I am and I'm taking it, 'cause I gotta get this feeling out
I'm 98% past it all, tryin' to figure out what went wrong
I'll be completely past it all by the time that I finish this song

[Chorus]
I'm here to tell ya that I'm over it, over it
I guess I'm glad we got it over with, over with
I will take my heart if it's all the same to you
You can keep every regret, regret
Of the chance that we didn't get, didn't get
Thought we could give it a shot back then
But now I'm over it

[Verse 2]
I guess to me it just really sucked how you suddenly changed your mind
But gosh dang it I'm done with this; I've gotta leave the whole thing behind
Cuz you were nice but what I just don't get is why you keep pushin' everybody away
It isn't clear where you're at with things, but as for me I'm doing okay

[Bridge]
You built this mountain for me to climb, so I did
On the way up, got my hopes up too high, I'll admit
But I slid down; yeah my feet hit the ground
And sometimes I still see you around
But I want you to know that I climbed that mountain
Yes I climbed your mountain
And now I'm over it

[Chorus]
I'm here to tell ya that I'm over it, over it
I guess I’m glad we got it over with, over with
I will take my heart if it's all the same to you
You can keep every regret, regret
Of the chance that we didn't get, didn't get
Thought we could give it a shot back then
But now I'm over it
I'm over it (oh)

Hope

[Verse 1]
The sun rises up in a place where nothing matters
All things grow old, even work that you have mastered

[Pre-Chorus]
Why are you anxious to do what's been done?
Nothing is new here under the sun

[Chorus]
See the progress you have made
In the end what have you gained?
There's a place far away from the toil and pain
Will you go, do you know, will you go, where's your hope?
Where's your hope?

[Verse 2]
The sun shines on us, those who will not be remembered
Like the grass of the field all our glory soon will vanish

[Pre-Chorus]
Why are you trying to chase down the wind?
Only to find that you never will

[Chorus]
See the progress you have made
In the end what have you gained?
There's a place far away from the toil and pain
Will you go, do you know, will you go, where's your hope? Where's your hope?

[Bridge]
The eye never has enough of seeing
The ear never gets its fill of hearing
Even wisdom it turns to grieving
The more you know, the more you hope it's time for leaving

Where's your hope?

Someone’s Fighting For Me

[Verse 1]
All the city shops are open, but my eyes are still closed
It's a warm Tennessee morning, but the bedroom air is cold
I start to pull the covers and I finally hit my feet
All the while someone's fighting for me

[Chorus]
Someone's fighting for me
Someone's fighting for me
And I have only to be still

[Verse 2]
Though the clouds are on vacation, and the sky is a Blu-ray disc
I leave the warmth of sunlight on my way into the office
But after five my friends and I make time to be carefree
All the while someone's fighting for me

[Chorus]
Someone's fighting for me
Someone's fighting for me
And I have only to be still

[Verse 3]
Well as the daylight flickers out, new messages come in
I never thought an email would turn my eyes to Heaven
And my head it hits the pillow knowing I can sleep in peace
'Cause all the while someone's fighting for me

[Chorus]
Someone's fighting for me
Someone's fighting for me
And I have only to be still

Loved By You

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like laughing
And I can’t hold back a little smile
There’s a joy that my savior gives
And it’s kind of fun to let it run wild

[Chorus]
I will dance before you
I will smile as one who is loved by you

[Verse 2]
Through the cross, I’m made spotless
Through the blood, I’m counted free
A perfect God who knew no sin
You gave your life to be with me

[Chorus]
I will dance before you
I will smile as one who is loved by you

[Bridge]
This joy it knows no measure
And it stays; it stays with me forever

[Chorus]
I will dance before you
I will smile as one who is loved by you

See

[Verse 1]
Is that my life melting away?
Or is it rain runnin' down the window pane?
Oh, God, I seek you
Oh, God, I seek you

[Verse 2]
My hungry heart looks above
And it's longing for the truth to feel your love
Oh, God, I need you
Oh, God, I need you

[Chorus]
Lord, it's hard to hear your voice
Hear you through all this noise
And my fear seems to be my eyes
My bones may be dead and dry
But your presence on this cold, dark night
Gives me peace about the things you see that I can't

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wish that the sun
Would let me vanish with it when the day is done
Oh, but God you still see
Every stitch you've sown in me
I wanna see what you see
I wanna see what you see (oh)

[Chorus]
Lord, it's hard to hear your voice
Hear you through all this noise
And my fear seems to be my eyes (oh)
My bones may be dead and dry
But your presence on this cold, dark night
Gives me peace about the things you see that I can't

You give me peace about the things you see that I can't see That I can't see

Good Enough

[Verse 1]
If beauty is on the inside
Why do they hand us mirrors?
If perfection is impossible
Then why is weakness feared?

[Chorus]
I wanna be somebody not based on who the world says I should be
'Cause in those eyes, I'm not good enough, good enough
I've heard a million voices, there's only one that I believe
And in those eyes, I am good enough, good enough

[Verse 2]
And I've tried to fit their image
Imagine all the time I waste
Trying to paint this perfect picture of myself
You only see the me that I portray

[Bridge]
You can choose not to see, that you're already blessed
You can try all your life, to be better than the rest
You can choose to believe, in a greater love
Someone died, set you free, you are good enough
You are good enough
I wanna be somebody
I wanna be somebody

From Where You Are

[Verse 1]
I've been broken; left in darkness to hide
Guilt has stolen the peace I had inside
But your grace never runs out on me

[Chorus]
Lord, you keep me close to your heart
Father, you call me back in your arms
God, I've been runnin'
But you say I'm not too far
From where you are

[Verse 2]
I have fallen at every punch that's been thrown
The strength I needed was simply not my own
But your grace never runs out on me (no)

[Chorus]
Lord, you keep me close to your heart
Father, you call me back in your arms
God, I've been runnin'
But you say I'm not too far
From where you are

[Bridge]
Where can I go from you?
Where can I go from you?
Where can I go from you?
Where can I go from you?

'Cause if I fix my eyes on Heaven you are there
And if this wretched face turns 'way from you
Abba, you are there

[Chorus]
Lord, you keep me close to your heart
Father, you call me back in your arms
God, I've been runnin'
But you say I'm not too far
From where you are
From where you are

Rest in God

[Verse 1]
I know a place; I know a place filled with peace
I know a prince and I know he waits for me
So I'll run and rely on his love patiently

[Chorus]
But I can't wait for that day, Christ returning
No more sightless faith; we will see his glory
His work is finished; my work is not
His work on the cross is all that I've got
And I know I've gotta hang on, and rest in God

[Verse 2]
I know a place where sin is a memory gone
I know the Lamb and I build my hope upon his grace That is willing to save the weak in faith

[Bridge]
You said it was better for you to go, but sometimes I disagree
If only you were in front of my eyes to convince every unbelief in me

[Chorus]
I can't wait for that day, Christ returning
No more sightless faith; we will see his glory
His work is finished; my work is not
His work on the cross is all that I've got
And I know I've gotta hang on, and rest in God
