Shawn McDonald Album

Well, I'm just a simple man with a simple plan
Trying to find my way home
And this dusted way with nothing left to say
I stagger and I roam

And I'm tired and I'm worn and my clothes are kinda torn
From this long hard road
My arms and legs are weak, I continue to seek
And leave behind this load

I need clarity and truth to be
And peace to make me whole
I want freedom to come and hate to be done
And love to guide my soul

I want love, yeah, I want love

Standing on the battle line
I fight for my mind aching to be free
This war that I face as I long to embrace
And be with my King

And this fire in my soul, desire to be whole
Is deep within my bones
And I long to be near as I cast away my fear
Running for Your throne

I need clarity and truth to be
And peace to make me whole
I want freedom to come and hate to be done
And love to guide my soul

Yeah, I want love, I want love
I want love, I want love
Yeah, I want
I want

I want clarity and truth to be
And peace to make me whole
I want freedom to come and hate to be done
And love to guide my soul

Yeah, I want love, yeah, I want love
Yeah, I want love, yeah, I want love
Yeah, I want love, yeah, I want love
Yeah, I want love, yeah, I want love
I want

I don't know
I don't know

When I look into the mountains
I see Your fame
When I look in to the night's sky
It sparkles Your name

The wind and the clouds and the blue in the sky
The sun and the moon and the stars so high
That's what draws me to You

I am, I'm captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I'm captivated

When I wake unto the morning
It gives me Your sight
When I look across the ocean
It echoes Your might

The sand on the shore and the waves in the sea
The air in my lungs and the way You made me
That's what draws me to You

I am, I'm captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I'm captivated

'Cause I am, I'm captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I'm captivated

The wind and the clouds and the blue in the sky
The sun and the moon and the stars so high
The sand on the shore and the waves in the sea
The air in my lungs and the way You made me

The blood in my veins and my heart You invade
The plants how they grow and the tree and their shade
The way that I feel and love in my soul
I thank You my God for letting me, letting me know

I am, I'm captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I'm captivated

'Cause I am, I'm captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I'm captivated

Awaken me from my sleep
And open up my weary eyes
Move me from my complacency
And bring my soul back to life

Won't You take this heart and mind
And help me to believe?

In the fire that ignites my bones
It's in the water that brings life to my soul
It's in the blood that washes me clean

Consume my wandering thoughts
And renew my mind
And remake and recreate
And interrupt my life

Won't You breathe Your breath on me
And help me to believe?

In the fire that ignites my bones
It's in the water that brings life to my soul
It's in the blood that washes me clean

Won't You help me to believe?
Won't You help me to believe?

In the fire that ignites my bones
It's in the water that brings life to my soul
It's in the blood that washes me clean

It's in the fire that ignites my bones
It's in the water that brings life to my soul
It's in the blood that washes me clean

It washes me, washes me
It washes me clean

The Lord thy God is my Shepherd
And in Him I shall not want
He leads me beside still water
And He restores my soul

And even though I walk through the valley of the shadows
I will fear no evil
And even though my enemy is camped upon my chest
I will fear no evil

The Lord thy God is my Shepherd
And in Him I shall not want
He leads me into green fields
Lays my head down to rest

And even though I walk through the valley of the shadows
I will fear no evil
And even though my enemy is camped upon my chest
I will fear no evil
I will fear no evil

And even though I walk through the valley of the shadows
I will fear no evil
And even though my enemy is camped upon my chest
I will fear no evil

I will fear no evil
I will fear no evil
I will fear no, fear no, fear no
Fear no evil

And I will be the lighthouse in your sea
That's guiding you home
And I will be the lamp unto your feet
When you roam

Just cling to Me
And I'll set you free

I will be the light
When the world is blinding out your sight
I will be the light
When it's all getting blurry and covering up your eyes
I will be the light
I will be the light

I will be the sun up in your sky
That's keeping you alive
I will be the headlights in your night
When you drive

Just cling to Me
And I'll set you free

I will be the light
When the world is blinding out your sight
I will be the light
When it's all getting blurry and covering up your eyes
I will be the light

I will be the light in your night
When you lose your way, you lose your sight
I will be the light in your night
When you don't know which way to go
I will be the light in your night
When you lose your way, you lose your sight, oh

I will be the light
When the world is blinding out your sight
I will be the light
When it's all getting blurry and covering up your eyes

And I will be the light
And I will be the light
And I will be the light
When the world is blinding out your eyes
I will be the light

Sometimes I wanna jump from
This tree that I've climbed up in
And trust that You will catch me
And keep me safe from harm

Oh, I want to let go
And trust that You are in control

Won't You take me and make me
Beautiful, beautiful?
Won't You take me and make me
Beautiful, beautiful?

Sometimes I feel like I am
Stuck in a hot air balloon
Floating through the open
And longing to be down with You

Oh, I want to let go
And trust that You are in control

Won't You take me and make me
Beautiful, beautiful?
Won't You take me and make me
Beautiful, beautiful?

Won't You take me and make me
Beautiful, beautiful?
Won't You take me and make me
Beautiful, beautiful?

I've heard it said that a wise man
Does not live on bread alone
But off the everlasting words
Dripping from the Almighty's tongue

And I've heard it said that a wise man
Does not look at himself in the mirror
Then turn away and walk
Forgetting what he looks like standing there

Oh, men like these
They are just like trees
Planted near streams of water
With roots that grow
Deep, deep into the ground

I've heard it said that a wise man
Ignores the call from the corner
Even with her seductive eyes
He turns away, he doesn't listen to her lies

And oh, men like these
They are just like trees
Planted near streams of water
With roots that grow
Deep, deep into the ground

Into the ground
Into the ground
Into the ground

Into the ground
Into the ground
Into the ground

And oh, men like these
They are just like trees
Planted near streams of water
With roots that grow
Deep, deep into the ground

Into the ground
Into the ground
Into the ground

Into the ground
Into the ground
Into the ground

Slow down, baby, slow down
Slow down, darling, slow down

There ain't no reason
You got to be moving around like that
There ain't no reason
You got to be moving so, so fast
Slow down, slow down

Sitting here in this living room
Waiting for you to come home soon to me, to me
Thinking about the times that
We used to rap and rhyme about life

Slow down, baby, slow down
Slow down, darling, slow down

There ain't no reason
You got to be moving around like that
There ain't no reason
You got to be moving so, so fast

Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down

Slow down, baby, slow down
And slow down, darling, slow down

There ain't no reason
You got to be moving
There ain't no reason
You got to be moving

Slow down, baby, slow down

Well, take a look around and tell me what you see
We are consuming everything
And I must confess that I fall
Oh, isn't this the story of us all?

Falsely advertised
Into believing that we need this stuff in our lives

'Cause what we got is what we need
And everything else is only greed
It's greener on the other side
Oh, why can't we be satisfied

Oh whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

And I've seen some with a little
And they seemed like they were doing just fine to me
And I've seen some with a lot
And they don't seem like they ever want to stop

Falsely advertised
Into believing that we need this stuff in our lives

'Cause what we got is what we need
And everything else is only greed
It's greener on the other side
Oh, why can't we be satisfied

Oh whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

'Cause what we got is what we need
And everything else is only greed
It's greener on the other side
Oh, why can't we be satisfied

Oh whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

There is a time to laugh
And a time to cry
And there is a time to accept
And a time to deny

There is a time to be strong
And a time to be weak
And there is a time to listen
And a time we must speak

For everything there's a reason
For everything there's a rhyme
For everything there's a season
For everything there's a time

For everything, everything
Everything there's a time
For everything, everything
Everything there's a time

And there is a time to say hello
And a time to wave goodbye
And there is a time when that we are born
And a time we must die

And there is a time to build up
And a time to tear it down
There is a time to be lost
And a time to be found

Everything there's a reason
For everything there's a rhyme
For everything there's a season
For everything there's a time

For everything, everything
Everything there's a time
For everything, everything
Everything there's a time

One without the other
Is like a king without his kingdom
Everything works together
It all coincides

For everything there's a reason
For everything there's a rhyme
For everything there's a season
For everything there's a time

For everything, everything
Everything there's a time
For everything, everything
Everything there's a time

Sometimes I feel like winter, cold I feel
Icicles are forming
It's hard to tell what is real
Cold winter, cold winter day

Frost is on the windshield and it's hard to see
Air is like slivers
It's hard to breathe
It's a cold winter, cold winter day

Warm me up inside
And let Your face from me not hide
'Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
'Cause when You are around I am found

Sometimes I feel like the prodigal, a wandering weary son
Gone in search of something beautiful
Something to make me one
It's a cold winter, cold winter day

The world is full of lies that will only rob you blind
Hit ya' when you are not looking
And steal away your time
It's a cold winter, cold winter day

And warm me up inside
Let Your face from me not hide
'Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
And when You are around I am found

Warm me up inside
And let Your face from me not hide
'Cause You are what I long to find
To melt this cold heart of mine
'Cause when You are around
'Cause when You are around
And when You are around I am found

Blessed are the poor
For theirs is the kingdom
Blessed are those who mourn
For they will be comforted

Blessed are the meek
For they will inherit the earth
And blessed are those who hunger and thirst
For they will be filled

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Blessed are the merciful
For they will be shown mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart
For they will see God Almighty

And blessed are the peacemakers
For they will be called His children
And blessed are the persecuted
For they will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Rejoice and be glad
For great is your reward
Rejoice and be glad
For great is your reward

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
