Your Grace will Hold Me

The sun is bursting forth from these dark clouds
Pink and yellow rays are burning down
And the brilliance makes me turn my eyes away
Yet I wonder how it pales next to your face
I feel that in this moment, I'm surrounded by your love
And the answer to my searching, is that you're enough

In your presence all else fades away
And though I can't see the path that I should take
I know your grace will hold me
I know your grace will hold me
I know your grace will hold me all the way

I've been wondering where to go from here
Left things undone in negligence and fear
And I worry that I've wasted too much time
Caught up in my selfishness and pride
But you bend toward what it broken
And you come invade my mess
And I know that in my wanderings, you never left

In your presence all else fades away
And though I can't see the path that I should take
I know your grace will hold me
I know your grace will hold me
I know your grace will hold me all the way

To the deepest depths
To the darkest place
And further still
Your grace
To the broken heart
To the hidden shame
And further still
Your grace

In your presence all else fades away
And though I can't see the path that I should take
I know your grace will hold me
I know your grace will hold me
I know your grace will hold me all the way

Beautifully Bleak

Beautifully bleak
Open and bare
Nothing for miles
But landscape and air
And I feel alive
Yet I feel so small
In the beautifully bleak
Away from it all

The earth and the sky
The work of your hands
You spoke a word
And formed where I stand
And I feel alive
Yet I feel so small
In the beautifully bleak
Away from it all

And you
You see me here
Through the vastness of heaven
Somehow you're near
And before time began
You desired to know me
As part of your plan

You feed the birds
The flowers are clothed
With finer threads
Than a rich man can boast
You care for these
No matter how small
In the beautifully bleak
Away from it all

And you
You see me here
Through the vastness of heaven
Somehow you're near
And before time began
You desired to know me
As part of your plan

Brokenness

Did you call us to this brokenness?
Did you lead us deep into this mess?
We thought we heard you loud and clear,
Never thought that we would end up here.

We weren't so naive to think it would never rain,
But the storming doesn't cease and when I call upon your name
I can't proclaim
To trust you'll bring us through.
Is this the mess you called us to?

Do you still have a plan for us?
Or will you leave us in the dust,
Of our lives as they come crashing down,
We call to you but you're not found.

We weren't so naive to think each day would shine,
But I haven't seen a single ray of hope in quite some time
And I confess,
I find it hard to trust,
That you still have a plan for us.
