Bebo Norman Album

Come along, I'll walk you through the world
And we will sing a different song
All along you have unfurled
But I will hold you from now on
I saw the day when you had lost your way
I saw the sun sinking low
I saw the night, remember how you cried
But don't you know you're not alone
No, you're not alone

I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am

Come with me, I'll take you to the sea
And it will be all beautiful
And all the water that covers everything
Cannot compare to my love
FOr you my love

I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am

WHen the light won't come
When your breath is gone
WHen your hope is done
Just look at me, look at me

I am in the sun, I am in the shade
I am in the light that love has made
I am in the cold, I am in the warm
I am in the center of your storm
I am in the fire, I am in the flood
I am in the marrow and the blood
When you cannot stand...I am

Cover me, cover up my tears
Cover up this man who's covered up in fear
I need a peace of mind, I need a piece of you
TO cover all that's gone and everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me, then you hold me

Cover up my heart, cover up my soul
Cover up this world and everything I know
You cover up the sky, you cover up the sea
Cover up the mountains and every part of me
Everything single breath I breathe...cover me

I am still alive and covered up in years
Covered up in lines as innocence appears
So give me a peace of mind, give me a piece of you
To cover all that's old with everything that's new
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
And you unfold me, then you hold me
You unveil me with your mercy
I want to breathe you in
You unfold me then you hold me
I want to shed this skin
You unveil me with your mercy
You unfold me, then you hold me
You unbreak me, would you take me home

There's never a day away from you
I'm not a complete mess
If I ever stay away from you
It's only emptiness
But love lasts longer
And love stands stronger
Than anything that's in between us
There's never a day away from you

Girl, you surround me
You're all around me
You capture me with everything you do
Girl, you surround me

There's never a day away from you
When I'm able to breathe
Whatever this world is coming to
I want you next to me
Because love lasts longer
And love stands stronger
Than anything that's in between us
There's never a day away from you

Girl, you surround me
You're all around me
You capture me with everything you do
Girl, you surround me
You're all around me
You capture me with everything you do
Girl, you surround me

And I know the sun will rise and fall
But we will make it through it all
I will love you until life is over

Tonight I dreamed that I could not catch my breath
Tonight I dreamed that you were gone
And I could feel the ocean pound against my chest
In this world on my own
This frozen world...alone
But if you must go away
WOuld you find no words to say
Would you steal my heart away
Please don't go, but I know along this way

We've seen the miracles
And the long road
And the breath that blows across the water
We've seen the last line
Of a failing time
But these friends of mine are sons and daughters
Sons and daughters

Underneath a clouded sky we found a home
The mountains rising from the sea
And the falling rain washed us clean and healed our souls
The waters rise but then they fall
I close my eyes, and our summer's gone
And now you must go away
And should you find no words to say
And should you steal my heart away
I would let it go, because I know along this way

They say you cannot walk before you crawl
I wonder why, I wonder why
Because everybody dreams before they fall
A wonder world and then we lose it all

But I will dream of tomorrow
Where the past will not be in my way
Passion lives another day
And I will dream of tomorrow
Where perhaps she'll wait for me

And every single heart that I have held
In my hands, in my clumsy hands
I fumbled them around until they fell
It's much safer ground just keeping to myself

But I still dream of tomorrow
Where the past will not be in my way
Passion lives another day
And I still dream of tomorrow
Where perhaps she'll wait for me
And perhaps she'll wait for me

It's on the tip of my heart, the words to say
But I fall apart and I walk away
There's an angry world pressed against my back
And at every turn I keep looking back
And I know you promise me
Love through eternity
So why can't I just hold on

I want to live, I want to love
But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let you hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart

So would you take my hand, because I'm sinking in
To this life I've made, but don't understand
The clock moves so slowly, but time goes so fast
In this whirlwind world that will never last
This love you're giving me
It's not just make believe
Help me just to hold one
You open the sky, and open my eyes
And all my fears are scattered away
So I walk in grace, because I've seen your face
You are all that matters to me

So I'm gonna live, I'm gonna love
I'm not afraid because your grace will always be enough
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna be set free
And let you hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
You have shown me where to start
It's on the tip of my heart

I saw her in a crowd
Or maybe in a cloud
Her daddy would be so proud
Little miss beauty queen
But then she fell down
And underneath her gown
No backbone could be found
It was all skin and nicotine

Underneath these empty things
We're made of, we're made of
Underneath these empty things
We're made of one love

Just past three a.m.
I saw a preacher man
He had heaven in his hand
on satellite TV
And he'll fix your sorry life
And then he'll fix the price
Because Heaven sure is nice
But salvation isn't free
And now could it be instead
That we've lost our innocence
But one day this pain will end
Hope is coming back again
And we can live forever

Well I have heard it said
That maybe God is dead
Or some would say instead
He just up and went away
But I saw him in a cloud
I saw him in a crowd
Yeah, he just looked around
And he loved us all anyway

Today I woke up early, today I woke up sad
It's funny how it hurts me, the love I've never had
But I can feel you breaking me through this mess
I can feel you through this loneliness

Show me that
Life shines with you
You show me that
Life shines with you
Break me through

I think that I can hear it
Is it a trumpet or a train
And now I'm drawing near it
And it's calling out my name
I got nothing to lose
I got nothing to prove in this mess
There's nothing to lose
But all this emptiness

If I had a ladder
To reach up to the sky
I would climb up there forever
It would just be you and I
And I would feel you
Breaking me through this mess
I would feel you
Through this loneliness

I don't have a lot to give
This broken world can make it hard to live
I got nothing left to say
My empty words have simply gone away

But this big blue sky
Shows me all that I have got
And you're by my side
To be everything I'm not
The angels sigh
I breathe deep the breath of God

I cannot find another sky
My thoughts are heavy and they cloud my eyes
But when I'm searching for the sun
You rise up quickly with your kingdom come

I'm coming alive
Nothing is good apart from you
I'm coming alive...with you

I may not have a lot to give
This broken world can make it hard to live
I may have nothing left to say
But I know that you will never go away

I believe when they put her in the ground
I think they buried part of me
Cause I've been searching
I've been looking all around
But I cannot find the heart of me
The heart of me

So I put my fingers in this soil upon her grave
And I will plant for her a garden
And every flower a reminder of her face
Will grow up graceful as a pardon

And all that grows is her story told
As life unfolds here before us
The peace I've found in this broken ground
I can see her in the harvest
Of all that I have sown

And long before I was covered up in grey
Before the old had bent my bones
We grow our children in the red Georgia clay
They were our garden and our home

And that grows is our story told
As life unfolds here before us
The peace we've found in that broken ground
I can see them in the harvest
Of all that I have sown

And when my life is done
I pray the kingdom come
Take me to glory
And it's living inside me
It was planted like a seed
All to tell a story

And I believe when they put me in the ground
There will remain a part of me
Cause I've been searching
And the joy that I have found
Is living in my family

It's all that I have sown
It's all that I have sown

Take another look at me
Oh breaker of my heart
Take a look and you will see
How beautiful you are

Even when I walk away
I could not go very far
Before the child in me would say
Home is where you are

In the tapestry of time
I cannot imagine where
I could find someone as kind
On the ground or in the air

I have heard that angels fly
And they never show their face
So I suppose that from the sky
One landed in your place

Did you know right from the start
When you first held me in your arms
That you would always hold my heart
Where you are

You make the mornings seem so light
With coffee in the air
But to be a mother and a wife
Is a heavy load to bear

And so you gave your life away
Like the God inside your heart
And even though we've gone away
Home is where you are
It's where you are...
