Simply Mine 04:49
lyrics
So careless with your delicate plan So foolish prying away your fingers from my hand I believe I can run free Unaware of what I cannot see Who can stop my heart Who can change my mind Who can still take my breath away Who can mend my soul Who can lift my head Who can give me the reason again I don't know why you come to me When I cry for help And I don't knowwhy you rescue me So many times from myself I don't pretend to understand Your mysterious love But I know, it's simply mine Who can stop my heart Who can change my mind Who can still take my breath away Who can mend my soul Who can lift my head Who can give me the reason again (chorus) You grip my hand And you define me You look within and you clarify me You give me purpose And you supply me with your love I believe I can run free Seeing what you want me to see You can stop my heart You can change my mind You can still take my breath away You can mend my soul You can lift my head You can give me reason again (chorus) Blurring lines of a world so clear Hoping to hide from my growing fears I believe I can run free Seeing lies that are true to me

Do You Want What I Got 04:53
lyrics
So you're watching me Every move I make I see the wheels are turning Think about what you're up against I've got muscle you have never seen I've got something wilder than your dreams, your finest dreams So if you need something for your lonely heart If you need a light in the dark Do you want what I got? So you move in close to have a better look Be careful now or you might find that you'd like to bait this hook You might find that you're tired of giving Your heart and soul for a life not worth living Not much living So if you need something for your lonely heart If you need a light in the dark Do you want what I got? Do you want what I got? If you want a love that never ends If you want a love with innocence If you want the guts to go to the end I got a love that never breaks I got a love that mends mistakes And never brings them up again Well it's no mystery With a heart like mine Th eless you see of me The more you'll see his love light shine The more you know that his love is true The more you'll know that you want it For you simply Just for you So if you need something for your lonely heart If you need a light in the dark Do you want what I got? Cause I got a love that never ends I got a love of innocence Do you want what I got If you need something for your lonely heart If you need a light in the dark Do you want what I got? Do you want what I got? Do you want what i got? Do you want what i got? Do you want what i got? Do you want what i got? Do you want what i got? It is a love that never goes It is a love that always shows It is a love that's here to stay It is a love that never dies It is a love that satisfies It is a love that won't go away It is a love that never ends It is a love with innocence It is a love that won't go away

Runaway 03:48
lyrics
Open eyes, closed minds Strong words, hard lines Passive ears, desperate signs It's not the first time Hard questions, full of tears Easy answers, not so near Serenading your haunting fears It's not the first time It's not the first time You had to go You had to run away Everyone was talking at you No one could hear a word you'd say You had to get away You had to fly High and so far away From calculating eyes All alone you muffled your cries You can't see what you're hearing You can't hear what you need You only need to believe It's not the first time Others fail you, let you down Weak reflections of what you've found A clear picture is all you crave It's not the first time It's not the first time (chorus) God cries, be still I hear your heart Don't go, I see shadows falling Continue seeking me If I didn't crave you You couldn't crave me You don't know if you can cry You don't know if you've tried Let him shoulder all your tears It's not the first time

Water Falls 06:23
lyrics
i need a hand to hold one that won't pull away from me and i need a smile one that won't turn down on me cause i need a reason to put my feet on the floor and i just want security, given for all eternity you said you'd stay, one too many promises that you made in vain no offense but there is only one there is only one, only one to depend upon so take me where the water falls down on me and washes me take me where the water falls down on me, and leads me to where i'm free cause His love is forever it's unlike anything that we know how high, how low, how wide how deep, how rich, how true, how strong so take me where the water falls down on me and washes me take me where the water falls down on me, and leads me to where i'm free my freedom is in God

Don't Let Go 04:13
lyrics
So you think you're the tough one Walking out on what you know Trying to beat pain to the punch Makes you feel like you're in control When you stop to count the wounded The sum of these adds to one One heart broken One life left alone All because of what has been done Don't let go Give love a start Don't let go Love can meet you as you are I know you've been taken for a loop Dragged around by those who don't care for you But don't let go Love is closer than you know You wonder why these things happen You wonder why all the pain But if we knew the answer You know the hurt would remain the same Jesus has something bigger than explanations for the rain He want to hold and give you shelter Filling up your heart that's tired and drained (chorus) Love is closer than where you've been Love is closer than what you've done Love is closer than all the pain in your heart (chorus)
6.
That's What I Need 04:43
lyrics
What I need and what I want sometimes don't get along What I need, needs to scream out What I want just wants to sing along One seems day One seems night One seems left One seems right Somehow through this tug-of-war Just a glimpse of your desires I see All that's around me Then falls short And your wants become my needs Yeah, that's what I need A hand to hold A heart that's free Yeah, that's what I need A loving gaze Looking my way Yeah, that's what I need What I need is a mountain Where I can stand when the waters rise What I need is the waters Cause in my stance my faith has dried I want the sun When I need the rain I want the comfort When I need the pain But all I want and need do not exist but by Your command I won't worry with what I'll be given And take the Giver's hand (chorus) By your grace the first time By your mercy another chance I need to be on my knees I need to stand and dance I need to stop where I am I need to follow through I need, I need, I need you You're what I need (chorus) I need you I need you That's what I need
7.
All These Lies 04:14
lyrics
Somebody tell me, tell me What on earth am I supposed to do I'm running around in circles Just to find my way back to you I'm still trying to make you me But, you only seem to see through me And then you force my hand You know it's a funny thing in this life Everyone wants to grow up so fast All these lies All these fames that people play Open up my eyes Show me the truth and I'll find a better way All these lies All these games that people play Open up my eyes And I'll never be the same Show me the way...home Somebody tell me, tell me What on earth am I supposed to feel I'm dancing around the questions But the answers aren't Where they're supposed to be I'm still trying to make you proud But, it only makes me cry out loud And still you take my hand You know it's a funny thing in this life Seems like we stand in time to fall again (chorus 2x) All these lies All these lies All these lies All these lies

Big Plans 04:21
lyrics
She couldn't go to her mother Her mother never seemed to care She couldn't go to her father Her father never was there So she went to a friend He said I'll love you to the end Bring your stuff and move on in Cause this is the answer Big plans Resting in tiny human hands Big, big plans Resting in tiny human hands She couldn't go to her lover Cause sometimes he didn't come home And she hated to be all by herself How it hurt to be left alone Feeling like she had no choice Trapped by loneliness and hate She decided to leave it all Better not to live life this way Big plans Resting in tiny human hands Big, big plans Resting in tiny human hands I know the plans, plans not to hurt you Plans to prosper you and for your good Let me have your life. I want you to believe And willingly receive My love for you She finally went to Jesus How He'd waiting for so long And there she found the love she'd searched for An acceptance like she'd never known Now she listens to His voice As she leans upon His word Life is hard but filled with joy For love has found her Big plans Resting in tiny human hands Big, big plans Resting in tiny human hands

What I Know 04:32
lyrics
You may say I'm crazy You may say that I'm insane the way I carry on How can you believe in one who is dead and gone Pardon me for asking Don't you think that you're too old for imaginary friends How can you be so sure that there is such a man I saw heaven in his eyes It's something my heart can't deny And that's when I realized That is what I know of love That is what I feel That is what I know to be real Cause many times we're stranded Many times we're left alone by the ones trusted before To have faith outside ourselves again Is a price we can't afford And I'm no different from the others I've worn the shoes you're wearing now Been down that road before Because I felt such bitter pain Well, it makes me want him more, yeah Cause I saw heaven in his eyes It's something my heart can't deny And that's when I realized (chorus) Go ahead commit me Go ahead convict me Go ahead and say I'm out of my mind Cause His love will never leave me His love will never let me down When all the world's against me I'll bend my knees and cry out loud And He will answer my plea He'll hold me in His arms so tight Pour His grace upon me Never letting me out of His sight And this is what I know of love This is what I feel This is what I know to be real (chorus)

Any Other Love Song 04:39
lyrics
You give me the best you've got Knowing full well I will not You astound me in every way There are days I don't pray Strong enough to hold my weakness Big enough to love my unloveliness I don't want this to sound like any other love song Yeah, but it just might Because to me you are holiness, perfection, purity and mercy And I just want to say that I love you I love you You secure me and set me free These chains, they entangle me Your truth is black and white But there are days I justify Strong enough to to hold my weakness Big enough to love my unloveliness I don't want this to sound like any other love song Yeah, but it just might Because to me you are forgiveness, wholeness, loveliness and mercy And I just want to say that I love you I love you I love you I love you You won't take me for granted I will take you for granted You won't let go of me But I will grab onto anything anything I can And I will betray you again and again and again and again and again and again But I don't want this to sound like any other love song Yeah, but it just might Because to me you are consistent, faithful, a companion with mercy And I just want to say that I love you I love you I love you I do

THANKS TO
Kendall, Trent, Walker, Jim, Bart - Thanks so much for continually investing your time energy, talent and especially friendship into this music and my life. I love you all.

Dave Shook - Thanks so much my friend. God is blessing you with some really cool songs. Lose the system!! (ha, ha)

Hannah Austin, Beth Combes, Shannon Millard - Thank you for letting your husbands work long hours. God's blessings on you.

Janet - Your work on this project is invaluable and so are you.

Mom and Dad - Thank you for supporting your daughter in such a fun and different job. I cherish you more all the time.

Brother - I am so proud of you. I can't wait to come to Turkey to see you. I will miss you greatly.

Dear Father,
I am amazed at your constant attentiveness, and yet you want me to go deeper than just an awareness of you. At times, I admit that is all I knowand at other times I am carried away into your arms. These songs reflect both places and every step in between. Thank you Lord for this and for every day with you. I know you are simply mine.
