I bought a goal book this year Thought maybe it would help With my procrastination I bought a planner this year Thought maybe I could write down All the reasons why I just can’t get it together ‘cause it’s back into that same old cycle I still haven’t figured it out I get stuck inside this stupid spiral Feel like I’m on my way down I really gotta know, I just wanna know Do I ever get out? Or am I hopeless now? Need to let go of control to grow But for some reason It’s

Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes not Sometimes it is what it is and we got what we got They’re saying “He won’t give more than you can handle” But I don’t see that in the Book Still “God is in control and He’ll work it out for good” But sometimes I get tired of cliches ‘cause I need You to come and fix this today Pick me up out of this mess still in the making, salvage this impossible situation But rather than rescue, You walk with me through it And even thoug

You go before me and behind me, above and below You go between me and beside me, wherever I go And I don’t have to wonder ‘cause I know you are close You go before me and behind me, you are with me Wherever I go, wherever I go You know my heart, you know everything about me Even the parts I don’t understand You designed me before I lived a day You had intentions for every detail You go before me and behind me, above and below You go between me and beside me, wherever I go

Fifty seven things have gone wrong and I don’t see how it’s gonna work out ‘Cause forty-two things would’ve had to shape up for this to go according to plan And everything that I can’t change is staring right back in my face But He speaks quietly again, and says Just trust, that it’s all gonna be okay Be still and wait, He’s gonna work it out Just trust, that it’s all gonna be okay Be still and wait, He’s gonna work it out - I know, so just trust Twenty four hours of worrying

If I can’t hear You Let me listen a little longer If I can’t feel You Let me stay a little while If I don’t know who I am or what I’m doing Let me linger ‘cause I know You’ll speak to me If I’m going in circles Let me stop and take a deep breath If I’m caught in chaos Bring me gently to a halt If I can’t manage to focus my attention Bring me back to You ‘Cause I need You most of all I need to clear my head Come back to what I know is true I need to let it go Everything th

Sitting here minding my own business Suddenly anxiety hits me Why do I let this stuff bother me? It’s like it’s got some kind of hold on me That feeling is so controlling Why do I let this stuff bother me? Could You remind me how this works? Help me remember Your words? Greater is He within me than he who’s in the world I’m not gonna let it bother me Worry and anxiety are not my identity So I’m gonna let ‘em melt off of me And say to the enemy You don’t get to steal my joy

What if it’s simple? What if it’s not as complicated as we imagined? What if trying to figure it out is overrated? What if it’s simple? What if it’s work hard and do your best Trust God and all the rest will fall into place What if He knows the bigger plan We don’t have to understand Just listen and step out in faith With a humble heart just obey What if it’s easy? What if we don’t have to try so hard to receive it? ‘Cause I think peace is in an open hand if well just bel

Why do I do the things that I don’t want to do? They always drag me down and keep me away from You Why do I constantly crawl back into my shame? When You paid the price so I didn’t have to live that way I guess it’s cause I’m comfortable right where I’m at It’s easier to stay lukewarm – I’m comfortable in my mess and Growing up means growing pain, so I guess I’d rather just stay the same ‘Cause it’s comfortable Dad always told me that nothing worth something is easy And s

It’s easy to focus on what I still need I tend to lose sight of what’s right in front of me But there’s so many prayers You’ve already answered Look how far we’ve come - can we just take a second to say thanks for all You’ve done? ‘Cause You walked with me - this far, through some pretty rough terrain Instead of just barreling ahead, can we stop and take it in? You walked with me - this far, yeah we’ve been through some things So thank You for the progress and Your presen

My heart is restless, always chasing little dreams What I want keeps changing, never as great as it seems But I’m prone to wander, Lord I feel it, I’m prone to leave the God I love So tether me, tether me to Your Spirit, I want to learn how to abide Tether me, tether me to You Jesus, like a branch to the Vine, tether me, tether me I don’t want a quick fix or a temporary high I need communion with You every minute of my life But I’m prone to wander, Lord I feel it, I’m pro

Life with you feels like a road trip sometimes I’m in the passenger seat and You’re behind the wheel You tell me it’s for my own good...

So let justice roll out like a river, and righteousness on like the sea Let mercy be found here among us, let it wash, let it wash over...

Time goes by way too fast I’d like to figure out how I could make it last But I haven’t sorted how to do that So this is what I’ve got...

You are the One, putting breath in these lungs You are the Maker, who designed my soul You are the Father, who knows me by name You are...
