Herb

that garden where he lay, his sweat and his pain
with calloused knees and hands, he tamed the whole land
that creek where he dreamed of life that bursted seams
with tender hand and heart, these joys he did impart
that girl whom he loved when life got too rough
he'd lay his head down on her lap and she'd hum their song
we've been runnin' through these days, fighting the haze of life
but in the midst of this strife you loved me though i could not recognize
that God that he knew, sorrow they'd walk through
he'd lean upon that grace and sing 'til morning came
we've been runnin' through these days, fighting the haze of life
but in the midst of this strife you loved me though i could not recognize

My Friend
03:20

the storm comes in my room and i think of you
and the way you'd run like the setting sun when things went wrong
where did you go my only friend?
i couldn't find you and i got swept up in the wind
the rain it crashes against my pain, just the same
way your words slam my ears in the midst of all these fears
what did you say my only friend?
where did you go? my one regret were the words that i said
the clouds part from the sky and i reason why
when this hell goes away will you come back and stay?
for i need you here my only friend
i'll leave the door open my friend
and my only regret were the words that i said

Trust is Fickle
03:38
|

trust is a fickle thing, a wall that i cannot see
where all i can do is run, when i fear you've gotta loaded gun
o my heart is weak, i stand on two feeble feet
and when i start to lean, i look for the gasoline
'cause i've burned down home
i fear i'll end up alone
you stand in the old ruins
so how long are you gonna stay my friend?
i've got some ugly scars, like cracks in a mason jar
so when you look at me ignore what you don't care to see
yet right here you wait, i've emptied all excuses to make
as the embers die, we watch the encroaching night
for i want you to stay
as our twilight fades away
let's lay under the stars for awhile
before my fear takes me to lonely exile

Broken Heart
04:20
|

|
broken heart i prayed you see the good Lord's heart
how His face shines upon and from His fellowship not part
i've seen the days come fast
i've seen the nights fall slow
i've seen wicked men arise from the shadows
may taste an unfailing truth
may you see His unfound love
may you rest in arms of the God above
weary mind please trust that your endless thoughts will find a home
where in His presence we fall flat, where our doubts no longer roam
i've seen rushing of the wind
i've seen the coming of the rain
i've seen righteousness cover my stain
may you walk and hold to Thee
may you run the whole day long
may you sing of His faithfulness all along, all along

Why Do I Flee
03:41
|
|||
|
where do i go when i'm filled with sorrow
on hopes of tomorrow
where do i go?
in whom do i hide when my strength is dry
and my love is all a lie
in whom do i hide?
when hopes are laid on the floor
and i see they're all a folk lore
yeah so i believed in lies i now despise
how can you look me in the eye?
why do i flee when you see straight through me
all my walls and formalities
why do i flee?
how can you trust a man so completely lost
a love so easily tossed
how can you trust?
all my hopes are dashed to the rocks
only to your heart do i flock
o to rest in you, the God who knew me in the garden
and when i had fallen
