on nights so cold and lonely
where i've wondered in search
for pastures i thought were better
i hear His voice calling me
by name and I know His voice

despite tasting His words
that are as sweet as honey
still i looked for something
i thought was better
yet the world
couldnt offer peace like Yours

i've come to know the extent
of my sin that nailed You to the cross
my knees are stiff no more
my eyes no longer dry
as i fall on my knees
crying out in distress

He is faithful
and never lets go
i searched for Him
i drew near to Him
and He was there

He has forgiven me!
as i lie in His arms
knowing the peace i once forsook
knowing the slate has been wiped clean!

Reach

just so i could see your smile
the stars never seem far enough
but i'll bring them to you
or i'll bring you to them

reach out for you
you never seem to far away
though its your face i see
i wish you were reaching out as well

just so i could be with you
the world never seemed smaller
nor the rivers or seas any dangerous
i'll cross them all with my life at stake

i'm reaching out for you
but all i can do is to watch from afar
to watch every tear fall
and yet unable to do anything at all

why are we so apart
in times like this
where the world should've been smaller
yet i can't even see you face to face

reaching out for empty space
yet i still see your face
in empty dreams
you're still so far away from me
