you gave yourself away i remember the day you said you'd do anything if i'd be okay you went with me to dark places through waiting rooms of stark faces you were with me either way but the lord always knew we would never go through with it on a long car ride home everything changed and all of the plans we'd made had been rearranged he made a way where there was none a chance for life to start over again said goodbye to all of our friends packed the car to the ceiling and left and it wasn't easy to cultivate love from such a small seed and friends were uneasy telling us we wouldn't make it but you set yourself aside and carried me home you fought for a shattered heart and made it your own and i'm so glad that you won it where would i be? where would be without ellie?

rest in me 04:26
i thought i did it your way i thought that i did everything you said thought i put my faith in you but it must have been in something else instead i must be missing something my body's slowly wasting away i haven't eaten much today and everything inside me says this will never go away but then there's you you whisper in my ear to persevere that this will work together for the good because i love you, lord looking at my daughter's face if i could only have that faith like the woman with the flow reaching out to touch your robe and if she only could she knows you have the power to take it all away well i'm not giving up and i won't go away i'll fall down at your feet until you show me how to pray cuz i must be missing something and then in a day i opened up your word and you said "hear me, what i've been saying all along nothing you could do would ever separate you from the power of my love when will you let me carry you? rest in me, my sweet child, rest in me."

she woke up in tears and called me to her side "mom i wanna go back inside my mind i was dreaming that i was flying and i don't want to leave that behind mom, i can't make sense of this at all why birds can fly but i can only fall cardboard wings and tape and strings will never lift me off the ground and why'd god make them to fly? mama why can't i? mama why can't i? and why'd god make them to fly? mama why can't i? mama why can't i?" and i'd be lying if i said she wasn't slightly offended and i tried to explain that our bones aren't made the same and they have to see their prey from a thousand miles away but she can't see past her seven-year-old dreams of being that free being that free i can't keep you from the pain this world will bring but i will wrap my arms around you until you spread your wings

yahweh 03:38
if i gave it all away you would remain if i gave up everything i would gain everything i'm standing on the edge if i let go will you carry me? oh i don't have the strength to fight this anymore you're always one step ahead of me and i can't catch you you're only an arm's length away but i reach out my arm and i can't reach you or feel you is there something in the way? search my heart search my heart and i'll be waiting i'll be singing "yahweh yahweh yahweh yahweh yahweh"

my child i've been watching you though at times i've turned my eyes away i can't tell you what to do i can't rescue you when you say that you don't hear me and i know you don't feel near me i've walked with you a long, long way through your valleys and wide open plains i was always there no one's ever cared for you the way i do, oh you don't recognize the face that you see but you're still that little girl to me when you would raise your hands to me you knew you were free but who's voice have you been hearing and what lies have you been fearing but i still know you and you are still mine when the ground around you shakes and you have lost your way i still love you even when you don't know yourself you don't know yourself you don't know yourself

you, you have died they have buried you outside some they lay flowers down others shake their heads as they pass by as for me i walk down to your grave i trace my finger in your name and all that they've engraved they did not know you. memories fade and our hearts learn to behave we know where to go to fill in all the holes we have made all of the things that we wish we could have said and all of the things we wish we never did i put you in a box with all the things you made all the things i could not throw away i laid my head down on the lid channeled everything you ever said i will put you on the shelf and go on by myself in a world without you i wasn't there when they put you in the ground i'd like to think that you're still walkin' round and when i see you on the other side will we still be the same or will we have changed i put you in a box with everything you gave all the things i could not throw away i laid my head down on the lid channeled every word you ever said oh, i will put you on the shelf and go on by myself in a world where i never met you

my king, my baby king this day this day is born to men to mend this broken world wise men they sought him for miles and they brought him gifts of grandeur raised their hands and sang "he shall reign o'er the earth and his name shall be wonderful counselor our wonderful counselor is here!" it's he the one to take away the darkness of this day and hardness of our hearts a clean slate the chance to start again new hope--good will towards men we've waited for so long for the messiah! prince of peace we come to you on bended knee to gaze upon your face and he shall tear the veil and by his blood the christ prevails and we shall be redeemed follow that star wherever you are it will lead you home to the throne of glory start the journey he will lead if you just take the time you will find him you will find my king my baby king this day this day is born to men to mend this broken world to mend this broken world

i still know you and you are still mine when the ground around you shakes and you have lost your way i still love you even when you don't know yourself you don't know yourself you don't know yourself
