Song Lyrics

SHIP

Please Drop me a line if you don’t mind Cause I’ve walked the plank again

Help a brother in need but have speed cause these swimmies aren’t holding me up

Jumping over board is not what I thought it would be

When I was back on the ship looking out at the see

Now I’m bobbing like a bobber without a fish on it’s line

it’s only a matter of time till I get pulled under

O inside me there’s a void that cannot be filled with an ocean

O what I can now see, is the person who can fill it, made me

Back on the boat they do not treat you like fish

but I traded my life so I could do as I wished

now I hide from myself and I decorate the pain

how I miss the life I had back on that seafaring vessel

So I stick up my hand like I am under arrest

And since I’ve had lots of practice it’s what I do best

And he looks in his scope and he throws me a rope and says my child I’m towing you home.

WAKE UP SONG

Wake, Wake from your sleeping O child of God

Wake, wake for the reason the day has come

Every moment a gift of love don’t let it slip away

Don’t rely on tomorrow’s promise when you’ve got today’s

Back, Back on your doorstep the child has returned

So get your head off the pillow and feel the aftershave burn

So don’t slap the snooze to long or you’ll be late my friend

Today’s a blank sheet of paper and God holds the pen

Wake up, Wake up

Rise up, Rise up

Time’s up, Time’s up

Time to Walk along the Way

Good morning Sunshine it’s a beautiful day

Rise up and be counted and see the light of day

Take a look in the mirror fearful but wonderfully made

Every moment a gift of love don’t let it slip away

Don’t rely on tomorrow’s promise when you’ve got today’s

ANGER MANAGEMENT

She Steps on my toe and cuts in line and when I get to the counter I’m Short a dime

Well I guess today is not my day for ice cream

And just when I think I’m one step ahead I realize that my watch is dead

And though I close my eyes it’s not a dream

When I get mad at everything I give my anger to God and sing

Don’t let sun go down up your anger

Now my buddy is bragging that he’s the best

Cause his best friend she wears a dream

It is not my fault that girls have coodies

And there is disciplinary explanation of why I can’t throw little raisins

At my little brother who’s asking for trouble

He’s not as innocent as my parents think he is

And the exponential population of the huge mosquito nation

Can always turn a fun vacation into…

Well everyone smiles when things go right

And on bad days they always fight

It takes someone who’s really strong to act in love when things go wrong

So when your life’s a mess and empty is your cup

Give anger to God and Whoop, whoop, whoop

The Sun Goes up

MAKE ME WORTHY

When I stood before you I knew not what to say

Your breathing life right through me and with that breath I stray

I never see what makes you hold me when I go astray

I am so undeserving what makes me act this way

And as I return into the light

Another lost soul returns to life

And as a bow down and I pray

With one word O God you calmed a raging storm

You split the roaring sea

With human feet almighty God you walked across the waves

You stumbled underneath a cross

And you have made me worthy, worthy by your cross

You have made me worthy, worthy by your loss

You have made worthy

Written by Rich Dittus and Megan Wilhelm

SIMPLE SONG

If I had to go home tomorrow would I be ready

Or if I had to go home later today

All the things I have done the past, the fun, trophies in a box

Would it matter anymore

And all I have suddenly fades away

And I’m left just as a came

If I could live again I would live simply

I’d unpack my bags and be ready to go

I would take the time to listen

Come out from my tinted glass

Not fight the tears when they cam and I’d take the time to laugh

In a world broken we all search for peace well I found my piece in you

Can I rest my head upon Your heart

Cause it’s the only place where I found peace

The simple life is all I need but still my heart is full of greed and though I give sometime my heart tries to take it back

I rely on a strength that’s not my own just like this earth is not my home

And though I fall short

We all walk blind along the road

LIFE ON THE EDGE

I have followed you this far and I still burn with a love you have placed in my heart

All the hardships you’ve placed in my life will pass

And I’ll sing until you return

And I will live my life on the edge O Lord

I will speak your name in the street

I will follow your will to whatever the end

If my soul you will keep

All the burdens that keep you from living life free can be wiped away with a word

If you empty your life God will fill you up till the cup of your life overflows

I will live my life on the edge O Lord

This wicked world cannot prevail

Cause I am your child and you hold my heart

And I will live my life on the edge

WELCOME HOME

Jesus lover of all why would you love a man like me

I have hurt you so many times

Why would you love me

Jesus healer of all why would you heal a man like me

I’ve been sick so many times

But yet you heal me

A crowded room a crowded street

Can’t you see how badly they beat him just look at his feet

Well the tears of joy are tears of pain

They streamed from a heart of love

His loss is my gain and He says

My child Welcome home can’t you see we all were waiting

The lost sheep is found

All now is forgiven

My child welcome home

Jesus Forgiver of all why would you forgive a man like me

I’ve turned my back on you so many times

But yet you forgive me

ALL GLORY BE

All glory be to God on high so we lift our hands to the sky

And some will praise but not know why

But we give you this offering

One man / One life

He would do it all for me

I lived / He died

He gave his life for me

My sins he took

No such love will ever be shown in this world

He reached / Out into

The shadows of our heart

We cried / you pulled us out of our mess

We screamed / you bled

No such love will ever be shown in this world

We give you our hearts

We give you our souls

We give you our lives that we may be made whole again

God I give it to you

ALLELUIA

Put away your misery put away your fear

The king of creation will enter here

People you struggle with addictions

Well I’ve come to bring you hope and if…

And when the whole world turns against you

My child fear not and sing to them

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia I am free

So what’s the world if you have everything

But you lose yourself in it

Pray for a fire to burn within you

And keep your flame lit

EMPTY SHOES

The world wears shoes that’s holding them down

To the earth to their jobs like a great giant crown

They won’t get it all but they’d like to just try

Their buying the world and I don’t know why

This life is passing live for the next

put your treasure in heaven and not anywhere else

The world can take me but they don’t own me

Like the wind they just can’t hold me

Cause I’m wearing empty shoes today

I won’t live for the world or to get paid

And like a child I will run I will leap I will dance I will sing

From this world I am freed

Cause I’m wearing empty shoes today

The media says freedom is doing whatever you want

when you want because you want whatever the case

how long before their theory backfires in their face

and they see clearly that they’ve mislead the whole human race

Father we ask to send us the grace that we need

So we can see the difference between freedom and greed

My life is your throw your rock in the lake

so that the ripples I make can be used for your sake

No one knows when their hour will come

So live for Christ now before you hour is done

And when you’re in the tunnel after life’s last end

Sprint towards the light like you’ve never have run

Brothers and sisters your time is here live for Christ now

you have nothing to fear

If Jesus is for us who can stand in our way

If we empty our lives and wear empty shoes today

SLEEP SONG

May your maker grant you peace

Let all your worries disappear

I pray you sleep without tears in your eyes

If you have tears let them be joyful cause your one step closer to heaven

And when you wake a new day breaks

Rejoice and sing

Hold me, Hold me Close to your heart

All your life you lived to fight to reach heaven

Battles you lost give to the cross and plead forgiveness

But don’t give up he love you to much

I pray He holds you, holds you close to His heart

The whisper of God contains the answer

If we are quiet enough to hear

You are chosen and I love you

Do not fear
