Crazy

Verse 1:
Got this friend in my town
Spends the day just walking around
Crazy sayin' walk this way to
And follow me to a better day
Maybe he’s not so wrong
Have we done it this way for too long?
Maybe its crazy
Chorus:
What if what seems crazy really was true
Would it change what you say and what you do?
It’s staying the same that’s insane
Wasting time playing the game
What if your dreams really were true?
Would it change what you say and what you do?
Verse 2:
This man walks into a town
Spends the day just walking around
He talks to people no one else does
Says "the last are first and God is love"
He says “Follow me to a new way”
“And I’ll show you that better day”
Bridge:
Like a Prince said
“Lets get crazy, let’s get nuts”
Love the ones no one else does
Let’s get crazy, let’s get nuts
Think of what can be, not what was.

Words Getting Around

Verse 1
Most likely to succeed
There was no doubt
You’d be the one we’d be talking about
On the fast track to the high life
You’re living the dream
Loving your life or so it seemed
Now words getting’ round
Chorus
You’re staying up late to stare at the stars
And now out of the way ain’t too far
Jimmy/Jill/Jamey says you want to work things out
And now you’ve asked me what’s God about
Yeh, words gettin round
Verse 2
You’ve loosened your grip
And you’re letting go
When it matters most, you dare to be bold
People say you’re crazy
And not so sure
I see a life wanting more
Now words getting’ round
Bridge
In search of truth
There is not doubt….You’re the one we’re talking about

Verse 1
I never earned anything I wanted to keep
Stuff on my list seemed small and cheap
What sustains me I didn’t have to buy
But comes for free from my God on high
You see I’m filled with a hope He’ll never let go
Because he loved me first many years ago
When that perfect storm left me for dead
I heard His voice inside my head
Chorus
He first reached out and he won’t let go
He’s lifting me up and holding me close
Oh, He’s holding on
He’s holding on
Verse 2
I’ve been fooled by things that look like love
And feared things I shouldn’t be afraid of
I believed fancy lies that took me off course
I find my way back by a great and loving force
I’ve been around awhile and seen quite a bit
Seen the good, the bad and the rest of it
Whether God has been there, there is no doubt
But I was too blind to figure it out

Verse 1
Running 24,7,365
Gotta keep running to stay alive
Rising so fast I’m hitting the stars
My feet left the ground and I’m headed for Mars
I could stop to catch my breath
But I try to sit but I’m bored to death
Just a little more and I’ll be all set
I mean when the getting’s good you gotta get.
Chorus:
Cuz I got it good ,and got it right
Filled to the top if it takes all night
One day closer to the pot of gold
Heading the right way or so I’m told
Filled to the top if it takes all night
Cuz it’s alright. I got it all, right?
Verse 2
Someday I should take time to choose
But if I stop I’m afraid I’ll lose
Any lead to break from the pack
OK, sometimes things seem out of whack

Home Forever
I could list all my mistakes, but I won't
I could cry about wasted time, but I don't
Burned so many bridges, it's a crime
A nickel for each good move, I'd have a dime
Tired of empty days with nothing to say
Tired of games that shadows play
It was a past I had to leave
Moved towards a promise I believe
Chorus:
My past is washed away
I have a purpose for today
I have a home forever,
I have a home, I have a home
I have a home forever
Verse 2
And now it seems I've found a way
To give reason to my everyday
I live to be the good I want to see
To shine the love of God inside of me
And I have a promise that will always keep
Where the light shines bright and love runs deep
It's from a God that will leave me never
He promised me a home forever.
Bridge
No more worries, from the things I hold
No more blues from the things im told
My heart is open, my mind is free
I’m running home to my God that loves me
