dear life ep - lyrics
stranger on the earth
In this kingdom of man
I’m just a pilgrim searching for my homeland
And I’ll keep taking steps
Even when to me it doesn’t make sense
Yeah, in this unknown country
I’m just a traveler determined in my wondering
‘Cause I won’t go back to my old way
When I know You have planned a better place
So I’ll walk by faith and not by sight
With Your strength and not my might
‘Cause this is not my home, not where I find my worth
I’m just passing through a stranger on the earth
I look off in the distance
And from afar I can see Your promises
And though they’re not clear now
I have a heavenly hope so I won’t doubt
And I’ll walk by faith, and not by sight
With Your strength, and not my might
‘Cause this is not my home, not where I find my worth
I’m just passing through a stranger on the earth
My faith is the confidence
My faith is the evidence
Of everything I’ve hoped for
Of things I’ve never seen before
And I’ll walk by faith, and not by sight
With Your strength, and not my might
‘Cause this is not my home,
No this is not my home
I'll walk by faith, and not by sight
With Your strength, and not my might
'Cause this is not my home not where I find my worth
I’m just passing through a stranger on the earth
masterpiece
I don’t know if you know
But before time began
A long, long time ago
God gave you a reason
And even if you don’t know just what it is
You’re being raised for a purpose
And perhaps you were created for such a time as this
And maybe you were made for this moment
So don’t be quiet, no, don’t be silent, let everybody see
That you are God’s masterpiece
Although you can’t see it now
God is working, God is moving
And he’ll show you someday, somehow
Exactly what he’s doing
So keep your eyes open to the possibilities
Yeah, be a willing vessel in the big blue sea
‘Cause perhaps you were created for such a time as this
And maybe you were made for this moment
So don’t be quiet, no, don’t be silent, let everybody see
That you are God’s masterpiece
Only God knows, only God knows for sure
Just what the plans are to give you a hope and a future
But perhaps you were created for such a time as this
And maybe you were made for this moment
So don’t be quiet, no, don’t be silent, let everybody see
That you are God’s masterpiece
Yeah, you are God’s masterpiece
broken & humbled
I start out walking on the water
Then I see the waves and my steps falter
And I come crashing down with them
But you still hold out your hand
‘Cause You love this, You love this
Broken and humbled heart
Yeah,You love this, You love this
Broken and humbled heart
And You don’t want my fake apology
Or I would give it, no You just want sincerity
So I come before you now
All my tattered pieces lying on the ground
‘Cause You love this, You love this
Broken and humbled heart
Yeah, You love this, You love this
Broken and humbled heart
And You pick the pieces of my heart up and put them back together
But my heart’s nothing lilke it was before You changed it forever
Yes I have been changed, changed by Your grace, yeah
You love this, You love this
Broken and humbled heart
Yeah, You love this, You love this
Broken and humbled heart
dear life
I can hear
The whispers in my ear
Telling me
That I’ll never be free
But I won’t be burdened
‘Cause You set me free, indeed
I will stand from and
Live life abundantly
‘Cause every wrong thing I’ve done, Lord, I confess
And I hear You say there is grace even for this
So I’ll run for dear life
From the things of evil
And I’ll hold on for dear life
To the things of good
You’re forgiveness
Is my defense
With my hope in You
I find strength renewed
‘Cause I’m no longer a slave
Of my fear and doubt
Yes, I have been changed
From the inside out
‘Cause every wrong thing I’ve done, Lord, I confess
And I hear You say there is grace even for this
So I’ll run for dear life
From the things of evil
And I’ll hold on for dear life
To the things of good
‘Cause You said go and sin no more
So I’ll live like never before
You said go and sin no more
So I’ll live like never before
So I’ll run for dear life
From the things of evil
And I’ll hold on for dear life
To the things of good
