Smellin' Coffee (3:56) lyrics

Last thing I remember, sayin’ bye to yesterday
Glad to see it over, pullin’ covers over my head
But what were You doin’ while I dreamt the night away
‘Cause I can tell that somethin’s different
and my eyes ain’t even open yet

I’m smellin’ coffee
Bird’s are singin’ just outside
Here comes Your mercy streamin’ in with the morning light

Naive (3:29) lyrics

How long until You defend Your name and set the record right
And how far will You allow the human race to run and hide
And how much can You tolerate our weaknesses
Before You step into our sky blue and say That’s quite enough!

Am I naive to want a remedy for every bitter heart
Can I believe You hold an exclamation point for every question mark

The Power of a Moment (4:26) lyrics

What am I gonna be when I grow up?
How am I gonna make my mark in history?
And what are they gonna write about me when I’m gone?
These are the questions that shape the way I think about what matters
But I have no guarantee of my next heartbeat
And my world’s too big to make a name for myself
And what if no one wants to read about me when I’m gone?

Big Enough (3:06) lyrics

None of us knows and that makes it a mystery
If life is a comedy, then why all the tragedy
Three-and-a-half pounds of brain try to figure out
What this world is all about
And is there an eternity, is there an eternity?

God if You’re there I wish You’d show me
And God if You care then I need You to know me
I hope You don’t mind me askin’ the questions
But I figure You’re big enough

And Your Praise Goes On (4:57) lyrics

The moon is high and the sunset fades

The lullabies have all been sung

We’re tuckin’ in another day

And stars appear now one by one

But the stillness moves and the silence yields

And not a single beat is lost

You can hear the chorus in the fields

Taking up where we left off

And Your praise goes on, rising to Your throne

Where You guard us while we dream

Live by Faith (4:26) lyrics

I can’t feel You movin’ inside

I don’t hear Your voice whisperin’ in the night

And I’ve never seen You with these eyes

Am I a fool, am I just a fool?

They ask how I follow what I can’t see

Why I trust in a love that my arms won’t reach

I don’t need You, don’t need You, to prove it to me

I’ll be a fool, yes I’ll be a fool

One of Those Days (2:58) lyrics

Oh, it’s been one of those days

When You walk with me

So close I think

I caught the scent of angels’ wings

And my, oh my unsuspecting heart

Leaps from its place

Begins to race

I finally found the place I never want to leave, oh...

Why can’t every day, why can’t every day

Why can’t every day, can’t every day

Be like today

Oh, why do the good days end

Makes me wonder now

Thirsty (4:33) lyrics

I’m so thirsty, I can feel it
Burning through the furthest corners of my soul
Deep desire, can’t describe this
Nameless urge that drives me somewhere
Though I don’t know where to go

Seems I’ve heard about a River from someone who’s been
And they tell me once you reach it, oh, you’ll never thirst again
So I have to find the River, somehow my life depends on the River

Missin' You (6:21) lyrics

I heard about the day You went away
You said You had to go prepare a place
And even though I’ve never seen Your face
I’m missin’ You
I lie awake tonight and I watch the sky
And I wish it didn’t have to be so high
‘Cause I’m belonging on the other side
And I’m missin’ You

‘Cause somewhere behind those stars
Is Someone who belongs to me
And I know in my deepest heart

Naive lyrics

How long until You defend Your name and set the record right
And how far will You allow the human race to run and hide
And how much can You tolerate our weaknesses
Before You step into our sky blue and say "Thats quite enough!"

Am I naive to want a remedy for every bitter heart
Can I believe You hold an exclamation point for every question mark

Thirsty lyrics

Im so thirsty, I can feel it
Burning through the furthest corners of my soul
Deep desire, cant describe this
Nameless urge that drives me somewhere
Though I dont know where to go

Seems Ive heard about a River from someone whos been
And they tell me once you reach it, oh, youll never thirst again
So I have to find the River, somehow my life depends on the River
Holy River, Im so thirsty
