Sunny Days Sunny days keepin the clouds away I think were coming to a clearing and a brighter day So far away. Still I think they say The wait will make the heart grow stronger or fonder I cant quite remember anyway So if youre waitin for love Well its a promise Ill keep If you dont mind believing that it changes everything Then time will never matter Winter, Spring...is what love can truly bring Ice turns to water, water flows to everything You can lose your mind, maybe then your heart youll find I hope you wont give up whats movin you inside If the car wont start, when you turn the key When the music comes on, all your cold, cold heart can do is skip a beat Its a promise Ill keep When youre waitin for love If you dont mind believing that it changes everything Then time will never matter

Who We Are Instead Lyrics - Jars of Clay

Amazing Grace I grew this heart into a drifter I never felt the roots I bare I sold my sight, oh brother, sister For a mountain of fools gold, its gone Only God knows, God knows where My soul was restless for redemption My feet were lookin for a place to stand Well I aint got no life And you know I aint got no money Just the faith of an empty hand Amazing grace, I feel you coming up slowly now Like the sun is risin, heat on my face Oh love that keeps on shinin, dont let the shadow come Ya know I gotta feel your healin rays I hitched a ride, I was a beggar I had murder on my hands I needed water to rinse these stains But only blood could remove whats spillin And pardon me the blame

Lonely People This is for all the lonely people Thinkin that life has passed them by Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup Ride that highway in the sky This is for all the single people Thinkin that life has left them dry Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup Youll never know until you try Cause, Im on my way, yes, Im on my way Yeah, Im on my way back home This is for all the lonely people Thinkin that life has passed them by Dont give up until you drink from the silver cup Shell never take you down or never give you up Youll never know until you try

Only Alive Im a fair weather friend Im a colorless view but Im willin to make a deal If you think you can make some faith here inside Ill drive off and marry you Im only alive with you I cant get by and I wont get through So put me in the river and let me say I do Im only alive with you Youre a sight for sore eyes and a newborn cry

Who We Are Instead Lyrics - Jars of Clay

In a year where there are so few If you throw me a line, Ill show you in time Im fallin in love with you Though my heart has been torn by loves I have worn And Im tempted by them ever still I tremble inside when you walk in the room You hold my affections and will

Trouble Is My wings dont sail me to the sky On my own these wings wont fly Jesus told me so Still Im not so sure that I know Cant find no rest for my soul Cant find no rest on my own Jesus told me so Still Im not so sure that I know Man, the trouble is We dont know who we are instead Ill keep runnin the other way My heart aint built to stay My heart aint built to stay And the world just aint that way My heart aint built to stay My heart aint built to stay Jesus told me so "The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places." - from A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway Faith Enough The ice is thin enough for walkin The rope is worn enough to climb My throat is dry enough for talkin The world is crumblin but I know why The world is crumblin but I know why The storm is wild enough for sailing The bridge is weak enough to cross This body frail enough for fighting Im home enough to know Im lost Home enough to know Im lost Its just enough to be strong In the broken places, in the broken places Its just enough to be strong Should the world rely on faith tonight The land unfit enough for planting Barren enough to conceive Poor enough to gain the treasure Enough a cynic to believe

Enough a cynic to believe

Who We Are Instead Lyrics - Jars of Clay

Confused enough to know direction The sun eclipsed enough to shine Be still enough to finally tremble And see enough to know Im blind And see enough to know Im blind Should the world rely on faith tonight

Show You Love Speak - say the words that no one else will ever say Love - love like the world we know is over in a day Im gonna a show you love in every language Im gonna speak with words that need no form Im gonna give you what you never had before Youre beautiful and I am weakened by the force of your eyes So shine bright to separate the truth from the lies Im gonna show you love So tie me to a tree and let the smoke and ash collect No, I wont regret to let love do what love will let We can drown in mixed emotions or walk across an angry sea This is the cost of being free

Lesser Things It looks a lot like givin up Peace we bring is a bitter cup Set our bodies down like offerings While we pray to the god of the lesser things If the wind should shake this house apart The cradle hits the ground with a broken heart Will we say we never knew a thing? While we pray to the god of the lesser things Is there grace for a wayward heart Is there grace for a wayward heart Grace, grace Ash to ash and dust to dust Steel on steel or rain to rust What mortal breath blood money brings Forth from the altar of the lesser things

Im In The Way You sit and stare out at the sky And think of ways to fake a smile But life is never what it seems Sometimes it only takes a while Im in the way of fallin down I wont let you go that far now Im in the way of fallin down I wont let you go that far now

Who We Are Instead Lyrics - Jars of Clay

If you think that hope was left behind I picked it up a mile ago And I am running close behind So dont give up and dont let go

Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet Jesus blood never failed me yet, never failed me yet Jesus blood never failed me yet This one thing I know, that He loves me so

Jealous Kind I built another temple to a stranger I gave away my heart to the rushing wind I set my course to run right into danger Sought the company of fools instead of friends You know Ive been unfaithful Lovers in lines While youre turning over tables With the rage of a jealous kind I chose the gallows to the aisle Thought that love would never find Hanging ropes will never keep you And your love of a jealous kind Love of a jealous kind Tryin to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading For solace in the shift of the sinking sand Id rather feel the pain all too familiar Than be broken by a lover I dont understand Cause I dont understand One hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars If I should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace And love that shames the wise, betrays the hearts deceit and lies And breaks the back of foolish pride

Sing I love the way, I love the way you carry on You make me wanna say, you make me wanna sing another love song Sing another love song, sing another love song Sing another love song to you Bury my head for the shame, you pick me up, you say I look like you Though it makes no sense to me, You make me believe that I could trust someone I could ever trust someone, I could ever trust someone I could ever trust someone, I could ever trust someone Sing another love song, sing another love song Sing another love song, sing another love song I walk through flame, I touch the fire, you know that I still burn for you Flood water rain crash down, soak the ground, still I thirst for you

Still I thirst for you

Who We Are Instead Lyrics - Jars of Clay

Sing another love song, sing another love song Though it makes no sense to me, you make me wanna sing Make me wanna sing

My Heavenly Let the wind fall wild across my path Even though we barely move, theres no turning back There is a river, there is a road, place of holy riches untold Its where Im supposed to be, where Im supposed to bemy heavenly I know it never feels right to let go of the safety were used to holding so tight But there is a lion underneath these skies Though love cries, love will risemy, my, my heavenly So fly me higher, higher, hope fill me, keep me here Love lion, my, my So when Im lonely or when Im old, life is more behind me All the stories have been told I can fix my gaze up through the clouds Where Im gonna be, where Im gonna be...my heavenly My, my heavenly My heavenly
