"I Am"
- Bebo Norman
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
Inspired to post after reading Leona's latest song entry.

So Afraid- Bebo Norman
[Verse 1:] Take my heart, and wring it out In Your hands and watch it all collapse Take Your Love, and drive it in Into my soul, and never leave again
[Chorus:] Cuz I am so afraid That I’ll find myself alone Looking for a savior, looking for a home I am so afraid That I’ll find myself alone Lookin for a savior, Lookin for a home
So don’t leave me here alone Don’t leave me here alone
[Verse 2:] All Your hope, and all my pride All this time to watch it all collide When everyone seems to say, “You can work it out” Under my skin, I’m shaking And I can’t get out
[Chorus]
So don’t leave me here
[Bridge:]
This is not what You said It’s all in my head When I throw my anger at You instead So don’t give up on me I want to believe That You’ll never leave me
But I am so afraid That I’ll find myself alone Lookin for a savior, lookin for a home I am so afraid That I’ll find myself alone Deep into the ages, deep into the foam I am so afraid That I’ll find myself alone Lookin for a savior, lookin for a home
So don’t leave me here alone Don’t leave me here alone

Hold On Twila Paris, from the album "Where I Stand"
Every little baby comes into the world Reaching for an anchor, fingers tightly curled Grasping for a reason without knowing why We will cling to anything 'til the day we die We can hold on to sorrow, hold on to pain We can hold on to anger when there is nothing to be gained We can hold to a thread at the end of a rope But if we hold on to Jesus we are holding on to hope Hold on, hold on This is human nature; this is what He planned When He put our hearts inside, when He made these hands We are here to reach for Him, never letting go This is all we need to have, all we need to know We can hold on to money, hold on to fame We can hold on to glory and the honor of a name We can hold to a thread at the end of a rope But if we hold on to Jesus we are holding on to hope Hold on, hold on Go on hold on, hold on

All My Heart Twila Paris, from the album "Beyond a Dream"
Only You go with me to the secret places I would never dare to go alone And You walk with me And You talk with me And I listen closely for the quiet wind
Oh, let me take You in And in the morning, when I rise Let me hear Your voice again All my love, all I do All my heart belongs to You All my life I go through All my heart belongs to You
There are no other eyes that can see inside me Answer every question in my heart When You hold my hand There's a place to stand And I follow at Your footstep in the dark
Oh, let me take You in And in the morning, when I rise I will see Your face again All my love, all I do All my heart belongs to You All my life I go through All my heart belongs to You
Oh, let me take You in And in the morning, when I rise I will see Your face again ‘Cause all my love, all I do All my heart belongs to You All my life, let me prove All my heart belongs to You
All my love, all I do All my heart belongs to You All my life I go through All my heart belongs to You

"Starts With Goodbye" Carrie Underwood
I was sitting on my doorstep, I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand, But I knew I had to do it, And he wouldn't understand, So hard to see myself without him, I felt a piece of my heart break, But when you're standing at a crossroad, There's a choice you gotta make.
[Chorus:] I guess it's gonna have to hurt, I guess I'm gonna have to cry, And let go of some things I've loved, To get to the other side, I guess it's gonna break me down, Like falling when you try to fly, It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life, Starts with goodbye.
I know there's a blue horizon, Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me, Getting there means leaving things behind, Sometimes life's so bitter sweet.
[Chorus:] I guess it's gonna have to hurt, I guess I'm gonna have to cry, And let go of some things I've loved, To get to the other side, I guess it's gonna break me down, Like falling when you try to fly, It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life, Starts with goodbye.
Time, time heals, The wounds that you feel, Somehow, right now.
[Chorus:] I guess it's gonna have to hurt, I guess I'm gonna have to cry, And let go of some things I've loved, To get to the other side, I guess it's gonna break me down, Like falling when you try to fly, It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life, Starts with goodbye, I guess I'm gonna have to cry, And let go of some things I've loved, To get to the other side, Starts with goodbye, The only way you try to find, Moving on with the rest of your life, Starts with goodbye, Na na na na na na na.

"Lessons Learned" Carrie Underwood
There's some things that I regret, Some words I wish had gone unsaid, Some starts, That had some better endings, Been some bad times I've been through, Damage I cannot undo, Some things, I wish I could do all all over again, But it doesn't really matter, Life gets that much harder, It makes you that much stronger, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned.
[Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every start, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned.
There's mistakes that I have made, Some chances I just threw away, Some roads, I never should've taken, Been some signs I didn't see, Hearts that I hurt needlessly, Some wounds, That I wish I could have one more chance to mend, But it don't make no difference, The past can't be rewritten, You get the life you're given, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned.
[Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every start, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned.
And all the things that break you, Are all the things that make you strong, You can't change the past, Cause it's gone, And you just gotta move on, Because it's all, Lessons learned.
[Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every start, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Lessons learned.

Those are awesome lyrics! By the way, did Carrie Underwood write those songs, or does she just sing them? The lyrics are amazing.

The only song on Carrie's album that she had a hand in writing was I'm Not In Checotah Anymore. So no, she didn't write those songs.

"Abba (Father)" By Rebecca St. James
I'm feeling like the eagle that rises Flies above the earth and its troubles Oh yes he knows that there are valleys below But under his wings there's a stronger power
Oh Father- You are my strength On You I wait upon
You make the road rise up to meet me You make the sun shine warm upon my face The wind is at my back and the rain falls soft God I lift You high- You are my Abba
Running on this road to the finish line The only road for me is the narrow Not gonna stop or even look to the side
When I fix my eyes on You Jesus Oh Father (Abba)- You are my strength Now more than ever
You make the road rise up to meet me You make the sun shine warm upon my face The wind is at my back and the rain falls soft God I lift You high- You are my Abba

You're Loved Tonight- Randy Stonehill
It's the fear of silence That gives us away 'Cause when we're alone We have to hear What our aching hearts try to say
And we've been walking In dead men's shoes Now there's only one saving grace And we're given the power to choose
Chorus
Whoever you are I hope you'll be alright I hope you'll let the good Lord fight your fights No matter what you hear whispered in your ear Just remember that you're loved tonight Loved tonight
We keep our distance we state our case We keep telling ourselves that we're anything else But a fallen and renegade race
So we keep running watching our sin take its course While the life that we long for is holy by nature And we must return to its source
(Repeat Chorus)
Everywhere you go There are signs to show you Trying to let you know You're loved tonight Someone's waiting Watching over you Watching over you
We're restless spirits We've lost our way But until we confess That we dwell in the darkness We'll never catch sight of day
It's the fear of silence That puts us to shame It's like we know in our souls If we shut off the music The wind would be crying His name
(Repeat Chorus)

Pieces Of April - Three Dog Night
April gave us springtime and the promise of the flowers And the feeling that we both shared and the love that we called ours We had no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed We were living a time meant for us, and even when it would rain we would laugh it off.
I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May
We stood on the crest of summer, beneath an oak that blossomed green Feelings as I did in April, not really knowing what it means But it must be there that you stand beside me now to make me feel this way Just as I did in April, but it's a morning in May.
I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May

More Than Anyone Deserves BY LeAnn Rimes
If I woke up tomorrow And my eyes could not see In darkness there'd be beauty Of the love you shown to me
(chorus) Cause I love longer and wider Deeper and higher Cause I've been loved More than anyone deserves
If tomorrow for some reason Somehow I could not hear In silence there'd be music Of a love that's always here
(chorus) Cause I love longer and wider Deeper and higher Cause I've been loved More than anyone deserves
And if I woke up in heaven And I could not feel your touch Then I want to be your angel And I love you just as much
Cause I love longer and wider Deeper and higher Cause I've been loved
I've been loved I've been loved

STRONG HAND OF LOVE by Mark Heard. Down peppers the rain from a clear blue sky Down trickles a tear on a youthful face Feeling in haste and wondering why Up struggles the sun from a wounded night Out venture our hearts from their silent shrouds Trying to ignite but wondering how
We can laugh and we can cry And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows We can dance and we can sigh And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows
Young dreamers explode like popped balloons Some kind of emotional rodeo Learning too slow and acting too soon Time marches away like a lost platoon We gracefully age as we feel the weight Of loving too late and leaving too soon
We can laugh and we can cry And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows We can dance and we can sigh And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows
