(See Inside) Album

I've been leaving in ways I haven't before
Through cracks in my conscience and unguarded doors
I've looked through these windows and opened them all
Danced on the ledges with a blindfold on
I've been leaving

Now the ground that I'm on is familiar enough
Covered with pieces of a misplaced love
In spite of myself I'm gonna turn back to You
Cause there's nowhere left to be leaving to

Where would I go
What would I do
Who would I be apart from You
I should've known what's always been true
There's no leaving You

When I took to the highway, thought I knew what Id find
With six lanes of freedom and an open mind
But these back road signs are saying "Jesus is the way"
Gonna turn myself in, no more running away

Where would I go
What would I do
Who would I be apart from You
I Should've known what's always been true
Theres no leaving, no, no leaving you
Should've known what's always been true
There's no leaving You

In a promise, in a prayer
Always here, always there
Constant, complete
All I'll ever need
Never will You leave me
I won't be forsaken
Never will I leave You
These hands are open, take them

Where would I go
What would I do
Who would I be apart from You
I Should've known what's always been true
Theres no leaving, no, no leaving you
Should've known what's always been true
There's no leaving You

No leaving
No leaving You

When the best of my intentions
Won't reach for their potential
And the language of love
Hesitates to leave my tongue
I tire of trying to translate
What I am to what should be
No, the inside of this stained-glass cup
Never really does seem to come clean

So I stake out my pretenses
And keep washing white these fences
But the colors underneath them
Keep showing through again
I tire of trying to translate
What I know to what I do
Won't You scrub this dusty window Lord
Let Your light get through

When I come to You, I come clean
Can't pretend to any good in me
Wash me in Your love, I come clean

So you cover me with Jesus
And You see me just like He is
And I am confident to tremble in
Your presence once again

When I come to You, I come clean
Can't pretend to any good in me
Wash me in Your blood, I come clean

You offered Your hand to me before I chanced to ask
Found myself surrendering before the war began
Oh, could I refuse this irresistible dance?
No, no, no, no, no, no, not a chance

Tell me, to what do I owe this more than passing glance
Is it only some kind of benign coincidence
Oh could I refuse such a divine providence?

Not a chance, not just a whim
No conditions, and no what-ifs
Not a chance, not just my luck
Just Your choice, just Your love

No conditions, no what-ifs
No luck involved, more than a wish
Could I refuse this holy dance
No, no, no, no, not a chance

I know I don't deserve a part in this romance
Still You turn Your gaze to me and take me as I am
Said You knew my heart was Yours before the world began

Not a chance, not just a whim
No conditions, and no what-ifs
Not a chance, not just my luck
Just Your choice, just Your love

No, no, no, no, not a chance
No, no, no, no, not a chance
No, no, no, no, not a chance
No, no, no, no, not a chance

Not a chance, not just a whim
No conditions, and no what-ifs
Not a chance, not just my luck
Just Your choice, just Your love

You are the one that drew me here
Now that I've come, I find I am no nearer to you
Led by the light so dim, you didn't even penetrate the
Skin
Oh winter sun

Promising all the answers
Knowing I could be captured with the information
Never to radiate the hidden heart or penetrate the skin
Oh winter sun
You're a promise in the distance, winter sun

If I chase the light to find the heat
Will I feel the earth grow warm beneath my feet
Can I move beyond what you've begun
Oh winter sun

Leaving me cold and numb
Now I'm reaching in and holding out for some sensation
Burning inside of me, a flame so weak, I need a deeper touch
Oh winter sun
To know is not enough, oh winter sun

So I'll chase the light to find the heat
And I'll feel the earth grow warm beneath my feet
I got to move beyond what you've begun
Oh winter sun

And the shadows start to fall behind
Hope begins to rise
On the other side
I can see the other side
And I begin to come alive

So I chase the light to find the heat
And I feel the earth grow warm beneath my feet
I can move beyond what you've begun
Oh winter sun

Constant, this stream of distractions runs constantly
Under my feet, I keep tripping along
Wishing I were stronger

But I know somewhere up ahead is a place where
Waters still run deep, they're whispering come
Beckoning me on

Constant is my Father's calling me
To follow Him against the current
I continue on in His promise to be constant

God did what I could not do
He stayed faithful when I was untrue
So you see I must follow
Where else could I go

Constant is my Father's calling me
To follow Him against the current
I continue on in His promise to be constant

I got carried away, in over my head
Far from the sure line
Never waiting for my hand
He extended His only Son, my lifeline

Constant is my Father's calling me
To follow Him against the current
I will continue on, I will be pulled along
For He is constant, constant

I follow, follow, follow
I follow, follow, follow
I follow, follow, follow my Father
I follow, follow, follow
I follow, follow, follow
I follow, follow, follow my Father

Oh, I'm going on
I can hear Him call
So I'll go on in His promise
Oh, I'm going on
I can hear Him call
So I'll go on in His promise

For he is constant

Hidden
so well hidden in this picture
why can't I be drawn outside these lines?
Willing
just to vanish in your shadow
What would wear away this thin disguise?
Surrounded by myself I get so tired of me.
But I know, I know what I need

Wish I could disappear inside you
Disappear
Hidden in the way I was intended to be
Closer to you and further from me
I would disappear, I would disappear
disappear

Given,
I've been given so much freedom
Grace abounds and I'm the chief abuser
Living
in a house that I've constructed
out of anything that makes me feel
good and safe and right
but the Consequece of choices so easily fade
there's an empty place I'd eagerly trade

Wish I could disappear inside you
Disappear
Hidden in the way I was intended to be
Closer to you and further from me.
I would disppear, I would dispear
disapear

Pulling focus from myself
now it's coming clear
hidden in the way I was intended to be
closer to you and further from me.
I would disppear, I would dispear
disapear,

Pulling focus from myself
there's got to be somebody else
Coming closer getting near I'll disappear
Pulling focus from myself I've got to see somebody else
Everything is coming clear I'll disappear

On a street where the traffic never quite dies
Theres a house where Joy hovers but never quite flies
A little room where Peace has been locked away
Behind a window so dirty, there's no light of day
And that's no way
And that's no place to live

Closets too full of nothing to keep
Navigation turns tricky as the clutter grows deep
But to wander outside is to wander alone
Just can't shake the feeling that nowhere is feeling like home
And that's no way
That's no way to live

And in my world of doubt
Where I can't settle down
You're all I know
So that's where I go
That's where I live

Will I settle for the shambles and live on these crumbs
Or trust that You'll finish what You've begun
Cause in the midst of this mess I've foolishly made
You're still building a home and I'm coming to stay

And in my world of doubt
Where I can't settle down
You're all I know
So that's where I go
That's where I live

And in my world of doubt
Where I can't settle down
You're all I know
So that's where I'll go
That's where I'll live

And that's where I'll live

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me
Why are You so far, so far away from saving me
Oh Lord, I cry every night and every day
But I fear You don't hear all these tears, I'm wasting away
You are holy, I know
You are holding me, don't let go

My God You are never far from me
And there's trouble here
My God You are and I've got to believe
That You can hear me

They laugh, they say "who will save such a crazy fool?
Where is this God who will come to the rescue?"
But so many before have trusted You, Lord
I'll wait and I won't be afraid
I'll trust You, I won't be ashamed
Cause You are holy, and You know me
You are holding me, don't let go

My God You are never far from me
When there's trouble here
My God You are and I've got to believe
That You're always near
My God You are never far from me
And You can hear me

Answer me, please answer me
Answer me, please answer me

Oh, You are holy and You know me
You have always been my God

My God You are never far from me
And there's trouble here
My God You are, and I've got to believe
That You're always here
My God You are never far from me, and I know You're near
My God You are never leaving me, and I do believe

It all rushes past so fast
My grip is tight, my lips white
This heart is steady but it's always ready to brake
Don't know how much I could take

So I stay on my side hugging the shoulder
Stare down the double line
Wondering what would dare, dare to cross over

I said I trust You and I do believe I do
Oh Lord, but must You ask me to prove it to You
I said I love You and I know it's true, I really do
Oh Lord, but please don't ask me to prove it to You

Leading your love up a dead end slope
Losing a life without losing hope
Could I break the boundary between word and deed
Take that narrow road but let someone else take the wheel

I said I trust You and I do believe, I do
Oh Lord, but must You ask me to prove it to You
I said I love You and I know it's true, I really do
Oh Lord, but please don't ask me to prove it to You

Heart in my throat, I grab at the answers
As I choke back the possibilities, I know
I know I've got to let go

I trust You, I really do
Oh Lord, but must You ask me to prove it, prove it
I said I love You and I know it's true, I know its true
Oh Lord, I just don't want to have to prove it, prove it

Some say the face is unforgettable
I'm sure I've seen it many times
Ah, but you know me
I forget so easily

I thought I saw you in a Sunday crowd
But then I lost you in a blur of color
Water color clouds
Like deja vu, was that you

They say someday I won't need to seek you out
But for now, won't you come and wrap me up
Inside your presence
We can celebrate if you stay

I know you make your home in any given lot
Your vision is so clear you don't see what is not
When I find you will I catch the cure you've got

Surely you're not in some distant land
Maybe down the block
Even cross the street
Have you always been near to me
