I will never be enough, I will never measure up I know all the things you need are things I cannot be There are corners of my heart that are always selfish and dark They will never open up or be safe for you But I was never meant to be enough I was only meant to hold you up And our being together is to point to the bigger picture Of the Church and her Redeemer so that we can show Only He will be enough, only He will be enough You will always come up short when it comes to expectations You will never fill my heart like they say you should Even though we're satisfied Well this love we have it does not hide Our desperate need to be sanctified by the love of Christ But you were never meant to be enough You were only meant to lead and love And our being together is to point to the bigger picture Of the Church and her Redeemer so that we can show Only He will be enough, only He will be enough And this does not nullify that I love you more than my life We are blessed because we get to play a part Of a beautiful mystery, a beautiful mystery

Baby I will walk with you for a thousand miles But I'm not so sure that my feet could make it out of town Baby I will hold you through the darkest night But I figure we'd just fall asleep when you turn out the lights 'Cause it's not all romance, it's not all flowers, It's not all gold and diamond rings No, it's more daily, it's hour by hour And all of the moments in between It's not the movies, it's not TV, it's not just another song Baby, it's our love and it's as real as it is strong Baby if you asked me to I would lasso the moon But I'd rather just enjoy it with you every clear night in June And you know that I would die for you if that's what it cost But I think I'll just die daily and help you take up your cross
3.
Catching snowflakes as they fall Listening to my lover's call I'm so alive here in this cold And I just thought that you should know That there's no place I would rather be So take my hand and walk with me I feel the sunshine on my face And it feels like amazing grace Such a privilege I know Just to have you here with me to hold
4.
Another month passed us by And still there's no sign of you at all And oh, how I've tried to think of something new But Baby it's just you that I ever dream of We've chosen your name and your room's got fresh paint The backyard is ready for bare feet and fireflies Lighting up those baby eyes But Baby, it's not time I can't wait for the days when the house is a mess And you're up all night crying for no reason I can guess And some people say, "Life is such a pain With all of the chaos and the toys" But I'll gladly exchange them all of this quiet for some noise But Baby, it's not time And oh how I pray and oh how I plead These arms are empty, but Baby, they're ready, Baby, we are ready For crayons and pillow fights For bad dreams that keep us up at night For prayers to keep the monsters away For band-aids and finger paint For daisy chains and frogs and snakes For trying to hold loosely come what may And Baby, I'll teach you of a God who is wise Who holds us in His hands so we trust what He decides Yes, the Savior is all wise So Baby, if it's not time, Baby, if it's not time Well, Baby, it's alright

All I Can Do 05:10
On the best of my days I feel weak On the rest I feel like half a man There's a peace in my soul that I can't keep When I realize it's out of my hands Lord I realize it's out of my hands I will hold you, hold you through the night I will hold you, even though I can't make this right, I will hold you (And it breaks my heart that I can't make this right) There are gifts that I know that I can't give This gift of life takes more than I am No matter how long I might live I remain simply a man I remain simply your man Sovereign Lord do what I can't do Help me to love her like You do Sovereign Lord be what I can't be Help me to trust You to give what she needs For only in You can she find what she needs

You Are Good 05:14
In the midst of my despair, when my sorrows seem to fare Much better than my joy or delight To Christ I must flee, whom have I but Thee, My Love, my Strength, my Life? In the hands of loving God who is sovereign over all, Even the circumstance that never seems to change... You are good in my broken places, Where I cannot take it You are good You are good when I turn away, When my faith is changed You are good You are good though I don't deserve a glimmer of hope I can pass through any sorrow, knowing that the Father Has not dealt what He has not declared to be good (for me) I want to take my struggles and turn them into troubles So light and so momentary So give me the perspective of the Kingdom when I sorrow Help me realize that You are in control You are gentle with Your children, and Lord, You always seem Only to wound so that we'll trust You to heal And this thing that You are doing is loving And is moving me to trust like never before So Lord please come and save us rescue us and heal us By Your wounds we trust and are healed...heal us...

I could wish for you that you would be six foot six Could dunk on anyone 'cause you're so fast and quick I could wish for you that you would be genius smart Earning three degrees even before you start I could wish for you, yes I could wish for you But my hope and my prayer is only for one thing That you would be a son of the King I could wish for you that you'd have a good career Bring the bacon home, vacation twice a year I could wish for you to have a lovely wife With all of my grandkids around the table every night I could wish for you, yes I could wish for you I don't want the world for you 'cause the world will steal your soul I just want Christ for you, for in Him you will be whole Son He's all you'll need to know You could drive a garbage truck, even get a real tattoo Dress in funny clothes, if you love Jesus too You could be a hockey fan and not support the Vols Even play a horn, if you love Jesus too Of if you love Jesus, if you just love Jesus

The world is in your eyes, all is fresh and new You take my by surprise, uncomplicated you There is much that I desire though some would be unsure Success does not appear in this my prayer for you Be broken, humble, set apart, fear the Lord with all your heart Of flesh instead of stone, be rich in faith instead of gold Be known by love and obedience Boast in Christ and not in man Seeking first the Kingdom With God's precious Words always on you tongue The burden is not light; I feel its heaviness But to shepherd you, my child, it is my privilege Though I'm weak and do not know all you need to help you grow It's enough if all you seek is the Savior who makes me complete Happiness is overstated, holiness far underrated It's enough if all you seek is the Savior who makes me complete

Watching V.T. Saturday morning Bob and Larry ain't got no hands Oh but when they play their music It's obvious, the boy can dance Later on in the afternoon I'm not sure how he can stand 'Cause it's a couple hours past his nap-time, But even then the boy can dance Mama he ain't no Cinderella And his butterfly kisses will bruise a man Mama he ain't been known to snuggle Oh but mama that boy can dance It's two o'clock in the morning We've done all that we can We ain't sleeping anytime soon So just sit back and watch him dance

O For Grace 04:02
O for grace to shepherd well To guard my flock from the fires of Hell To preach the Word consistently To lay them at Your mercy seat Lord I am humbled by Your call To oversee them one and all O for grace, grace, grace to shepherd well O for grace to guide my son A father whose not on the run To take the time to laugh and pray To lead him in the gospel way He's a blessing from above Let me show him how much he's loved O for grace, grace, grace to guide my son O for grace to love like Christ A faithful husband to my wife To overcome my selfishness To love her more than I love myself She's a gift Lord like none I've known I am thankful that she's my own O for grace, grace, grace to love like Christ O for grace to live my life In a way that honors Jesus Christ To hate my sin and to love Him more No matter what He has in store He's my Savior, yes He's my Lord He's the One I am living for You're my Savior, You are my Lord You're the One I am living for O for grace, grace, grace to live my life

You have no idea what this day means to us You were just too busy being born You have no idea how we've longed and prayed for this How could you when you're only minutes old? You're not in control and neither are we We are all caught up in God's sovereignty What a beautiful place to be...you have no idea You have no idea the years of disappointments Hope and then despair with each turn of the calendar You have no idea that waiting has been good for us A blessing though it's hard We had no idea what God's plans would include But here is something certain that we've learned: We had no idea had He given what we asked for, It never would have brought us to you

I'm waking early on a Saturday morning I spilled my coffee on the couch There's a little person doing back-flips off the loveseat I just caught a Lego in the mouth This is love and family Yesterday I cleaned up messes all day The laundry never seemed to end But the footsteps upstairs are answers to a thousand prayers And somehow I just cannot complain This is love and family, and we want to add to the beauty Every day is a sure and certain sign That we are desperate for the love of Christ Just had an argument with my husband Over socks laying on the floor But he loves to write me songs And buys me flowers 'just because' So I cannot stay angry for long There are days when I am moody and short-tempered With the ones I love the most But they show unending grace and forgiveness just the same When I am so undeserving of both Oh Jesus be our portion, supply what we need Things like mercy and forgiveness Help us to treasure You the most in this place we call our home 'Cause You are everything we could ever need
