Waiting, waiting for summer to take me over the sea. Who knew I’d find my love in a country, I’d barely seen. Ooo, over the sea, waiting for me. Waiting, waiting for someone, to come and convince me that love, Can make it through all of the seasons that life will throw at us. Ooo, I can not wait to do life as “us.” Oh you make me believe, in your promise to me, ‘Though we won’t love perfectly… We love cuz we’re loved, Oh we’re faithful cuz He’s faithful Oh we love cuz we’re loved, Oh we’re faithful cuz He’s faithful And this promise I will keep, as long as there’s life in me. Hoping, hoping that we can be more than we are. With the help of our Good Lord, I’ll try everyday to give you my heart. Ooo I’ll try everyday to humble my heart. Oh you make me believe, in your promise to me, ‘Though we won’t love perfectly… We love cuz we’re loved, Oh we’re faithful cuz He’s faithful Oh we love cuz we’re loved, Oh we’re faithful cuz He’s faithful And this promise I will keep, as long as there’s life in me. All of life is gift and you are God’s grace to me, I pray I’ll never forget how precious you are to me. Ooo forever to love you gratefully. Ooo how gracious has our God been to me?

Same Side 03:25
I swore I’d love you til the end, Walk this road as your closest friend. Forgive me when my words hurt. I shift the focus, point the blame, Sometimes I speak from a place of pain. I am sorry when I’m impatient. Cuz we’re on the same side. We’re on the same side. We’re on the same side, we’re on the same side. I wear you out, I stretch you thin, Pushing my expectations again. I am sorry that I put that on you. I can be spoiled, and I can be wrong. Cuz I’m not perfect and I’m not always strong. But when we fight, Oh let’s be kind. Cuz we’re on the same side. We’re on the same side. We’re on the same side, we’re on the same side. Let’s put on love, let peace rule our hearts. Consider neither, the lesser part. Cuz I need you, like you need me too. Refine us, Jesus, to be more like you. Cuz we’re on the same side. We’re on the same side. We’re on the same side, we’re on the same side. Forgive, forgive my selfish pride - we’re on the same side. Forgive, forgive, my foolish pride - we’re on the same side. Cuz we’re on the same side. We’re on the same side. We’re on the same side, we’re on the same side.

Always Were 04:21
Do you regret driving away? Leaving me in the dust of the day. Watching all the fumes dissipate, through tears that stung my face. I worried so much that you would die, Leaving feels like that for a child. A hole so gaping, a heart so wide - I didn’t know how I would survive. And how is it that you work all things for good? When nothing, nothing in the world works as it should… I want to scream, my hands - they shake. Yet in your arms, you were keeping me safe. Always were, always will be. Always were, always will be. I wrote to you so you wouldn’t forget, Sealed my letters with lips of red. Raised my voice to compete with the rest - I didn't know how to be second best. And how is it that you work all things for good? When nothing, nothing in the world works as it should… I want to scream, my hands - they shake. Yet in your arms, you were keeping me safe… You knew me before I knew you. You loved me before I loved you. You held me, when I had nothing to give. Gave me life, when I was dead. Always were, always will be. Always were, now and forever.

Lifetime 05:25
I can’t bring myself to pack your things away, Or move from where you used to lay. I will never see the world the same again, And I can’t face the heartache. And I know we’ll meet again, And I know we’ll speak again. But a lifetime is a long time, to see you again. Yeh a lifetime, is a long, lonely time. Yeh a lifetime, is a long time, to see you again. Yeh a lifetime is a long, lonely time, to see you again…my love. How do I live with such a void inside? To exist because I’m alive. I see the sunrise now in black and white, Unending tears fall from my eyes. And I know where you are now, But you’re not where I am now. And a lifetime is a longtime, to see you again. Yeh a lifetime, is a long, lonely time. Yeh a lifetime, is a long time, to see you again. Yeh a lifetime is a long, lonely time, to see you again…my love. To see you again…my love. Now we see, but a dim reflection. Then we shall know in full. Face to face, with divine perfection, When he calls us home. And I know that you are home. Oh I can’t wait to be home… Ooooooo

Efficacious 03:51
I don’t wanna take your love for granted, I don't’ wanna waste this life away. Be content with my own comfort - Complacent to the cost of grace. May your love be efficacious. May your love be efficacious. May the mind of Christ, the Spirit of life, be my guiding light. I don't wanna live all for myself Lord - No, don't leave me alone. Show me how to love you with all Of my heart, my mind, my soul. Be faithful day by day Lord, In the small and simple ways. Live a life that’s worthy of the call received, the call that saves. May your love be efficacious. May your love be efficacious. May the mind of Christ, the Spirit of life, be my guiding, guiding… Light.

Was it meant to be easy? Did you think it would be hard? There’s a beauty in the giving, in the surrender of your heart. In the dying there’s a living, death is but the start. The work that had begun, will now come to pass. In the losing, comes the finding. In the wait, the sanctifying. Though there’s pain in the night, joy in the morning, In the valley there is light. And when it feels love it costly I know it's a worthy offering That returns with more than it imparts. Oh and help me love the giving up, with joy and not reluctance. For something greater than my selfish wants. To trust in your prevailing plans and in your perfect righteousness And rest in you when I can't stand - Oh please persevere my soul! You call me to faithfulness, help me not to waste it. Oh empower me by your spirit to love beyond myself, To live for more than myself. They need me and I need you - they need me to show them you. When they run into my arms - show them there’s a greater love, From which all goodness flows, a fountain where we all must go. The river whose water’s life, the vine in which I must abide to have any hope in life. Know the way the story ends - “Oh my child be assured of this: You will see my goodness in the land of the living…” Oh help me love the giving up, with joy and not reluctance. For something greater than my selfish wants. To trust in your prevailing plans and in your perfect righteousness And rest in you when I can't stand - Oh please persevere my soul! You call me to faithfulness, help me not to waste it. Call me to contentment, help me not resent it. Call to perseverance and the faithful one will do it.
