Josh Wilson Album

To those whose steps aren't steady
To those whose hearts are heavy
To those whose faith is all but gone
To those that struggle on, struggle on

Come and lay your burdens down
Come lift your empty hands
You are not alone, we are not alone
So, hold on

To all the saints that keep on praying
And all the children that keep on waiting
And all those that sing the Savior's song
Lift your heads up and keep on living
Hold tight to the hope we are given
For we know that we won't be waiting long

Can you hear the music playing
Can you feel the dream is waking
We are running towards redemption
We are never standing still

Through the problems and the pain
Through the striving and the strain
You are not alone, we are not alone
So hold on

He is coming soon, He is coming soon
He will take His bride, He will make her new
He is coming soon, He is coming soon to carry us home

Savior, please take my hand
I work so hard, I live so fast
This life begins, and then it ends
And I do the best that I can, but I don't know how long I'll last

I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love
Savior, please keep saving me

Savior, please help me stand
I fall so hard, I fade so fast
Will You begin right where I end
And be the God of all I am because You're all I have

Hallelujah
Everything You are to me
Is everything I'll ever need
And I am learning to believe
That I don't have to prove a thing
'Cause You're the one who's saving me

I tried to write a song
And keep it 3 minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I tried a thousand times
To fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work

I just don't have the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can't define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I've got is a 3 minute song

I've got a hundred metaphors
And if I had a million more
I could never ever seem to sum this up
Besides, how can some melody
Communicate eternity
It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

I'll never find the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords or maybe 4
But I've tried and I can't and I won't cause there will always be more

So I apologize
I can't seem to get it right

I'm ready to fall in love
So what are you running from
I'm what you're looking for, quit looking for yourself
I'm right behind you, while you're looking somewhere else

Would you turn, would you turn, would you turn around
Would it be that hard to do
If you turned, if you turned, if you turned around
I'd be right in front of you

You're searching for something more
And you're walking right out my door
You're leaving home to look for the home you have with me
Like flying around the world to get across the street

Quit over thinking love- stop thing that I'm not enough
'Cause you don't need anything- that you don't have here with me

You are over thinking love- stop thing that I'm not enough
'Cause you don't need anything- 'cause I'm right in front of you

Try and pretend that you're okay
But I don't believe the smile you fake
It's about time that you stopped saving face

I'll meet you where you are, I'll meet you where you are

Why don't you let me, let me love you
Oh, you don't have to prove a thing
Why don't you let me, let me love you
For you who you are, not who you should be
Let me love you
And I will let you love me too

Why are you scared to tell the truth
What do you think you're gonna lose
You know we're forgiven, not accused

I'm thirsty, God, I'm thirsty
From drinking what destroys me
I'm pouring poison in my cup

I'm hungry, God, I'm hungry
Consuming what controls me
Somehow it never fills me up

We all want to find something to pass the time
But that could never be enough

Everybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to change

Do you remember when you
Had so much hope within you
It lingers deep inside you still

The more of us we swallow
The more we become hollow
Until we don't know how to feel

We all want to find something to satisfy
But we could never be enough

When everything we say and take just leads to war and hate
We only pass the blame, sedate the pain, and move along
But something feels so wrong, so deep inside, so hard to hide
So desperately we try and try, and come to find that we are not what we've been loving for
I can't believe I"m hearing people say that all is well
I think it's time we all admit we have no good within ourselves
'Cause we are not okay, we're not alright, and we need to pray for help
Forgive us for our pride, Oh God, Oh God, please save us from ourselves

[No lyrics]

everything that could go wron has gone wrong
everything that should go right has gone wrong too
everything steady has now been shaken

now there is nothing for me to cling to
now there is nothing left in me to lose
now i am ready to see you waiting
with open arms

would you carry me
cause i am at the end of myself
and all i have is you
so would you carry me
cause only you can pull me through

i know you're stronger than my struggle
i know you're greater than my greatest need
if you are ready and you are waiting
with open arms

why do i wait so long through so many wrongs
to face the truth
i can't fix this shattered heart
i've tried so hard
but only you can save me, savior

[No lyrics]

VERSE 1:
Dear money, I wrote a song for You
'Cause you lead me to beleive you'll buy me everything I need
Then you fill me fill of emptiness
So money, it's time I called you out
About the way you say you'll pay and then you turn and walk away
Turns out you can't keep your promises

CHORUS:
I'm changing the locks on my pockets now
If I don't let you in then you can't run out
I'd love to hate to love you
But I can't get enough of you
Can't get enough, so I've had enough of you

VERSE 2:
Hey money, I've had enough of you
Every day it's all the same, they way you love to complicate
I knew that we never should have met
Yeah money, I'm asking you to leave
Nothing personal but you were never worth it all
Oh please, don't make this harder than it is

BRIDGE:
Leave me alone

the fading sun, the rising moon
are fighting for the afternoon
the day gives in, gives up its light
the stars wake up, to keep the night

and as you glory fill the sky, I wonder
how could you
consider me
so much more
than all i see
cause i am not
have never been
beautiful like this

my weary words, and broken lies
are set beneath, your summer skies
what's worn and wrong, what's good and right
I laid before, my eyes tonight

but you make all things new
Jesus, you make all things new
I'm beautiful in you, oh, oh, oh

that's how you could
consider me
so much more
than all i see
redemption mends
a brokenness
it heals our wounds
removes our sins
your purest love
was humbly spent
to bow our hearts
and draw me in
where i become
whole again
I'm beautiful like this
I'm beautiful like this

what can wash away my sin
nothing but your blood oh Jesus
Thank you, Thank you Jesus
