PATH

Did I miss my chance
To turn from this path
Headed for a crash

Did I have my head
Held so high
I lost sight of where I was going

Is it too late
To apply the brakes
Turn this wreck around

I am shaking
From the rush of
The disaster that might come

Am I so in need of something
To wake this slumbering heart
I would risk crashing into a wall

Did I find out
How I got here
Rushing down this path

Did my feet
Just happen upon
This road of bad decisions

Is my heart so
Set on hurting
The knife goes deeper each time

Have I missed
The exit off
Is it too late to try

Does this path
Fork left or right
Tell me someone

JUST

I turn my eyes away from the scene
Didn’t feel anything
Just done
Just finished
No not a thing
And I didn’t even cry
At what was done
I didn’t even try to stop
I just wanted enough
I didn’t even make an effort
To turn away from the sin
Entangling me
Betrayal should not be so easy
Where are the bitter tears
Where is the fear
Of a Holy God
Is it enough to just believe
I got up from the scene of the crime
Washed my hands of it
Said my prayers like a good child
Whispered my goodnight
And closed my eyes
And I closed my eyes
Where is my confession
Where is my regret
No I didn’t even think to
Just made my rebellion complete
Just sealed in the sin
To dream in
To dream in
I turned my heart to no
Couldn’t even hear Your voice
In the hardness of the stone
I just wanted me to be
In charge of everything
And I didn’t even cry
At the thought of grieving You
And I didn’t even turn
At the moment I could have
I just wanted to be in control
Of this train wreck

LONGING FOR

Longing in my soul
To be home
To be home
Longing in my tears
To be done
With this sin
And You’ll be there
This I know
This I know
I know oh I know
Longing to go
To the place
Prepared for me
Prepared for me
To the place You prepare for me
I got my hand on the doorknob
My eyes on Your word
My ears leaning to hear
That trumpet call
That trumpet call
Oh this longing in me
To be home
To be home
To be before my King
To be before my King
Longing in these tears of mine
To be done with this sin
To be done with my sin
To be presented holy and blameless
Yes to be presented holy and blameless
Longing in these bones of mine
These bones of mine
Oh this vessel is waiting
For the glory of Christ
The glory of Christ
This child is excited
To see his Father
To see his Father
Longing in my soul
For that day
For that day
When my Lord Jesus comes
