(2007) Radical Grace
1.) Desire
(Chorus:)
Hold me close, don’t let me get singed by the fireHold me tight, don’t let me lead myself astrayKeep me close, don’t let me drown in my desireKeep me near, don’t let my heart wander awayJesus, You know me better than I know myselfI put on a show, pretend to be somebody elseHaven’t we all believed those lies we tellourselvesHelp me to be the one You want & no one else
(Ch.)
Beautiful daydreams, wishing the world wereanother placeImagining perfect scenes & all flaws gone withouta traceBut life cannot all be fun & bliss without hardtimes to faceThe greater the darkness & sin, the more the lightshines with radical grace
(Ch.)
2.) Perfect GodI woke up this morning & once againI looked at the state that my life is inBeginning to wonder if it’s rightIs this really the way that things should beOr have I failed God or’s He failing me?Then I hear His voice, “Not in your life!”(Chorus:)I don’t have a perfect life,I’m no perfect husband to my wifeBut I have a perfect GodI don’t have a perfect house& man, you should see the car I drivebut I have a perfect GodAnd He’s all I need & all you need, tooWith Him there is nothing that we can’t do& know everything’s alrightCause His perfect care cares for me & you& His perfect strength will make all things new& love us, imperfect as we areCause what greater thing can a great God doThan give His own Son for both, me & youTo show us that we’ve got a perfect GodSo I walk through my day & once againIt’s me and my Savior holding my hand& I’m thinking, “Gosh, what a life!”For I can see beauty in everything& meaning & sense where before there’s beenbarely the hint of a glimpse of light(Chorus, last half twice)3.) All I WantI've just gotta tell You, You're really the BestCompared to Your greatness, we're all just a messTo honor You means to be awesomely blessedAll I want is You, forget about the restSo, come & let Your lovelight shine on me& make Your crazy love mineJesus, You're simply the BestLord, what would I do if I didn't have You?I've said this before, but I've just got no clueMany are called but the chosen are fewThe few who know nothing else matters but YouSo, come & let Your lovelight shine on me& make Your crazy love mineJesus, all I want is YouAll I want, all I want is YouAll I want, all I want is YouSo, come & let Your lovelight shine on me& make Your crazy love mineJesus, all I want is YouAll I want, all I want is YouAll I want, all I want is You
 
4.) Take Me Back
(Sept.13, 2006)
 I poured my money into pockets with holesI stored up glitter for what I thought was goldInstead of wealth I've got a handful of stonesand a sore spot in my soulI poured my water into cisterns with cracksI thought I had so much, turns out that I lackedthe essence I lost somewhere along the trackwon't You please bring it back(Chorus:)Bring it back, bring it back,the one thing that I most lackTake me back, take me backto Your safe and golden trackKeep me safe, secure on Your path so pureHelp me stay on the attckLet me be quite sure that there's always more ofYouLord Jesus, take me backI tried to sail the storm with boats that would leakThought my own wisdom would be all that I'dneedBut now there's blisters on my hands and my feetand a shell that once was meI'd conquer Heaven with a stairway, I thought'cause, after all, what's there that couldn't bebought?But all my efforts & attempts came to naughtYour love's the thing I can't affort(Chorus)5.) Sinning Saint(Chorus:)I’m not better than you no matter what it is you doWe’ve all blowin it, it’s true: I have surely messedup, tooI’m not bad better than youI’m a sinning saint like youSome folks just can’t waitThey’ve got to bend each bent line straightThey see things black & whiteThey’ve got to know what’s wrong or rightBut Jesus said, it’s best to waitTo see what grows there: wheat or weedAs much as we would like to be,Perfect’s not the way we emerge yet(Chorus)If you’re better than Joe, Congratulations! Way togo!If you’re better than Jim, self-righteousness mightbe your sinJust remember, that little splinterIn Jim & Joe’s eye, they’ll surviveIt would seem, that old beamIn my own eye needs more attention(Ch.)6.) It's Gotta BeI was (G) talkin' to the Lord about some things I'dsaid'cause I (Bm7) couldn't really tell had they beengood or badOur in(Am7)tentions may so often be quite goodand purethen there's (C) other times that I just wouldn't beso sureSo, the Lord said, 'Honey, don't fret nor dismay,there's a simple little rule by which you've got toplayAnd if you'll stick to it you won't go astray,What(C)ever you do, what(D)ever you say,It's gotta be (G) love. It's gotta be (Em) humbleit's gotta be (C) true, kind, give peace to thetroubled and sight (Am7) to the blindit's gotta set the (Bm) captives freeand (C) most of all, (D) it's gotta be (G) MeSo I went about my life & what life's all aboutand I stuck to the rule, followed that golden routeTill a week or so later, must have sheer forgotand a nasty little thing to say slipped outThe reaction wasn't quite what I had hoped it wasAnd well, isn't that the way that it so often goesSo I'm goin' back to Jesus, what He has to saySaid "Remember what I told you just the otherday?"(Ch.)So if you're some fellow who's quick with his lipLet me share this with you: don't let nothin' slipthat you wouldn't want someone to have said toyouand remember that Jesus gave this golden rule:(Ch.)
