But I'm in it for the journey babe, I'll fall down at your feet

Last Night
Verse 1:
So, last night, I picked up my pen,
Wanted to thank You for all You’ve been, dear Lord.
Through the highs and lows,
You stood by me, quieting my soul.
I used to chase the waterfalls—
The empty rush, the distant calls…

Love I Can’t Explain
Verse 1:
I turned my back on You, yet You never left;
I followed my own will, but You kept me strong.
You died for me, Lord, before I was born—
When death came for me, You stood in my place.
Now I have life in You…

Carried you down to the riverside

You Are Unchangeable
Verse 1:
While trapped in the dark,
I called on Your name;
You came and shone Your light.
The one who held me there
Fled and never turned—then I knew You’re the Light.
You paid the price for my pride,
And for the…

You can roll the dice

I saw jack-in-the-pulpit and I knew I belonged

Verse 1:
Worries have never solved

Pacing the midnight floors,
Only pulled me apart.
