From the core of the earth
Your name is exalted
To the highest heaven

From the depth of the sea
Your beauty is worshiped
To the tallest mountain

And all of creation

Will tell of Your glory
And all of the nations
Will sing of Your mercy

As over and over and over again
Your grace is the answer for my sin
As over and over and over again
Your love is the song that calls me in
Words aren’t enough for who You are
Our voices cannot repay Your scars
This is our offering of love
To our merciful merciful God

From the ice of the North
Your goodness is counted
To the desert wasteland

In the deep of my heart
Your love is the balance
I cannot comprehend

It's a summer night in August and I'm restless like the men
Who leave their wives and children on a ship before the wind
This storm is no nor'easter that would throw me o'er the side
My gale is just the longing of a father for his child

This house was an oasis since the day I signed my name
Now it's empty like the station where we're waiting for your train
Our lives were never barren until we knew you were alive
Now we're hollow like a drum that we can't play 'till you arrive

We can almost, almost hear you laughing in our dreams
We can almost, almost feel the rhythm as you breath
We can almost, almost see the tears that you will cry
And the only thing that's missing in this room is you tonight

On the floor there is a carpet like a garden green and white
And walls like purple mountains touch a ceiling like the sky
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Seuss are waiting for your ears
And the night-light in the corner will chase away your fears

Your mom should be your hero she takes your beating like a champ
When you hear a note of music and begin to dance your dance
But she wouldn't live without you and she loves you with her life
There's a picture of her on the wall and i hope you have her eyes

Everybody said things would be different
And everything's been different since we knew
And there you are sleeping in your blanket
And I just can't remember the way things used to be
Before I met you

Wake up gently, Love
The hours do not linger
The sun is at our window
And time is wearing thin

Wake up gently love
The children stay in slumber
And I don't have the heart
To see their tears again

For there is no sweet sorrow in this moment
There is no regret in the moments that are past

Kiss me softly; there might never be another day
And I will hold onto you for as long as I remain
Kiss me softly like an angel in this pouring rain
As we listen to the songs
As we listen to the songs that call my name

Breathe upon me now
Sweet Jesus, hold me tighter
I cannot bear the hour
I admit I am afraid

Breathe upon me now
Your will is all that matters
As this world I've loved
Is fading away

Hold me tightly there might never be another day
And I will hold onto you for as long as I remain
Hold me tightly, my dear Savior, in this pouring rain
As we listen to the songs
As we listen to the songs that call my name

This beating heart will be silent
As the morning breaks brand new
And the sun that lights the mountains
Is dark beside The Truth

And my faith that left me shaken
Will never doubt again
My hope will find it's ending
As you reach to take my hand

And the tears that tell the story
Of the life I left behind
Will beg to be forgiven
As they pour out of my eyes
