Альбом Bethany Dillon

I have got no one to blame
Except if that someone's me
I washed my hands, but just the same
My eyes confess for me
I come in filthy rags
You know I'm guilty

I wake up almost every night
Saying Your name
What I would give to walk in the light
But what I hide has made me lame
My face down on the ground
I wait to hear the healing sound

You break through my deafness
Swing open the curtain
And I find the courage to get up and walk
I forget my weakness
For You've answered my loneliness
And through the mud on my eyes
I can see my Hope has come

You'll have to show me where to go
It's been so long since I've used my feet
I got up today a cripple
And now I'm dancing
So let the power of Your move
Not stop with what I can see

I couldn't walk
I couldn't sing
I couldn't love until You found me

Here we go
Let in the light from my window
Say goodbye to my sorrow
And hello, new day
My soul needed a rescue
A Hero, it had to be You
I know You've changed everything

(chorus)
So I want everyone to know
Everyone to know
I want to tell the world about Your love
(repeat)

I've thrown years away
And every chance to change
It took so much to see my pride
I've thrown punches in the air
Chased after love that wasn't there
I know only You satisfy

To all the broken hearted
The crippled and the weak
We are all invited
To taste and see
To all of those who are searching,
Come find what you seek
It is the Truth that we all
Truth that we all need

Every darkened crevice
Every hidden place
Every secret that's inside of me
Though I run from You
I don't get very far
In my weakness You speak tenderly

You heal this heart of stone
I am not my own

I am Yours

How can I resist a perfect love like this?
It's like sunshine and the smell of spring
When I'm covered in Your forgiveness
God, it's overwhelming

You have called me out of shadows
Out of darkness into light
Hemmed in by the hands of mercy
I'm completely satisfied

I wake up
Start the rush and pour some coffee
Things to do pile up
Oh so quickly
Too many days I feel like
I run on empty
Does anyone else out there feel like me?

But I'd be a fool to forfeit
The chance to take a moment
For You to rise like the dawn
Over my cold, tired heart
What I thought I had lost
Finds me when I stop
Stop and listen

It's the same slowing down lesson we all learn
But I don't pay much attention
Till I crash and burn

So all together
Let's stop and sit at His feet
My sisters and brothers

I'm trying to find a moment with You
These days are speeding by
This ring gives me a new point of view
I'm a dealer in my time
And if I can make a confession
My time is torn between

The man who has won my affection
And the God who made me

Oh, it all looks different
But that doesn't mean anything has changed

Still I reach for You
When I am afraid
And this breath that comes from You
Helps me say Your name

I look at the life of Anna
Your presence was her home
I look at the life of my mother
Praying on her back porch

One day very soon
Face to face
I'll give an account of my time to You

I'm so close to being so far away from You
I was wrong, but it takes so much to say it to You
Like a broken husband and wife
Who never talk but share their nights
I'm so close to being so far away from You
I have nothing when I'm living apart from You
Outside, creation groans
To lose our darkness and be made whole

For my feet are close to slipping
Speak to my heart in time
You have promised, so I do believe
You won't forget this wandering child

Still, I'm so close to being so far away from You
Though I know no one on their own makes it through
My soul clings to the dust
So in Your life, let it be enough

I'm so foolish to believe that I can escape Your love

For my feet were close to slipping
You spoke to my heart in time
You have promised, and I do believe
You won't forget this wandering child

You're so close when I feel far away from You
You're so close when I feel far away from You

No one knows what is hurting inside me
But I feel it in every breath
So many have promised to heal me
Till my money and hope was spent
I am hiding in this crowd
He may be just beyond my grasp

But if I just reach out
If I just reach out
Just for a moment
Could everything change
If I just reach out
If I just reach out
For the hem of His garment
Could everything change

Worry is the water rising
And it's flooding up to my neck
I've nothing to lose, but can I believe
These broken years are in my past
Then eyes like fire and warm like the breeze
Turn and meet mine

I feel like something has changed
I feel like something has changed
I know I felt something change

I just reached out
I just reached out
Just for a moment
And everything changed
I reached out
I just reached out
For the hem of His garment
And everything changed

Deliver me from my prideful mind
It weighs heavier on me all the time
What a silent, yet, such a deadly crime
To think that I own my own life

So humble me just like You did
The king who lost his mind in the wilderness
And don't let me go back
Until I confess
You are the only God

Deliver me from my hateful thoughts
I'm committing murder in the presence of God
Break my heart just like David's was
With a weeping, pregnant widow in my house

How can I despise my brother
When I killed Your only begotten Son?
Help me prefer another and say
You are the only God

This morning my alarm went off
Earlier than I'd ever want
And in this small obedience, Lord
Help my heart stay bowed down

Father, You've given Jesus
All those He will raise up
And all eyes, including mine, will see
You are the only God

Day turned to night
You breathed your last
Blood flowed from Your side
All of God in a young man
Who gave away His life

You loved me
When I was Your enemy

And You chose me
When I didn't believe

You drank the cup that was all filled up
With my punishment and shame
From the garden to the empty tomb
The way I come to You forever changed

A crushing burden on our backs
The words hang in the air
"His blood be on us and our children"
Still, You forgave us there

Jesus, perfect through suffering
Jesus, our merciful High Priest
The weakness of God is mighty
And the foolishness of His love has saved me

In the beginning was the Word
The Word was God
And put on flesh to dwell with us
In Him was the life
And the Life was the light of men
And it shines in the darkness

Even as the rain and snow come down
And do not return empty
Making it bear fruit and sprout
So Your Word will be

For the Word is living and active
Like a sword, piercing the division
Of soul, marrow, and spirit

A light unto my path
Strength to carry on
The treasure I have found within
Is hidden in my heart

Here we go
Let in the light from my window
Say goodbye to my sorrow
And hello, new day
My soul needed a rescue
A Hero, it had to be You
I know You've changed everything

(chorus)
So I want everyone to know
Everyone to know
I want to tell the world about Your love
(repeat)

I've thrown years away
And every chance to change
It took so much to see my pride
I've thrown punches in the air
Chased after love that wasn't there
I know only You satisfy

To all the broken hearted
The crippled and the weak
We are all invited
To taste and see
To all of those who are searching,
Come find what you seek
It is the Truth that we all
Truth that we all need
