Reveal Me





Reveal Me

Verse 1
Well, I been driftin' right through this neon haze,
Been wearin' a mask and callin' that my phase,
Lord, I'm lost in the waitin' still wondrin' what's real,
Tellin' myself I ain't breakin' so long as I don't feel.

Chorus
Reveal me, reveal me
turn those lights up high,
Shine it on down
thru the dark inside,
Lord, cut me wide open,
Ain't no lettin' it slide,
And if it ain't truth
then go on and let it die.
Yeah, I've been dancin' all 'round my scars,
Playin' tough yet caged in empty bars,
If it breaks me open, Lord, well that's alright,
Reveal me, reveal me
Reveal me, Lord
Bring me to the light.

Verse 2
Out here feelin' like ev'ry shadow's learned my name,
Started keepin' the door locked so tight, hidin' out my shame,
Ain't no more swingin' past what's already known,
Come on, step in, there ain't no takin' it slow

Chorus
Reveal me, reveal me
turn those lights up high,
Shine it on down
thru the dark inside,
Lord, cut me wide open,
Ain't no lettin' it slide,
And if it ain't truth
then go on and let it die.
Yeah, I've been dancin' all 'round my scars,
Playin' tough yet caged in empty bars,
If it breaks me open, Lord, well that's alright,
Reveal me, reveal me
Reveal me, Lord,
Bring me to the light.

Bridge
Been buildin' these walls to keep myself all safe,
Now the door won't hold, and I'm slippin' toward the grave,
Whiskey's gettin' a grip where my faith used to lay,
And I'm closin' in on becomin' Satan's slave,

Final Chorus
Reveal me, reveal me,
Don't leave nothin' behind,
Shine on ev'ry shadow I tried to hide,
I been livin' half-alive for way too long,
And singin' truth in a half-sung song.
Break me, shake me, make me real this time,
Strip it all down as I walk that line,
And Lord if it costs me, well, that's alright,
Reveal me, reveal me
Reveal me, Lord,
Bring me to the light.
Break me, shake me, make me real this time,
Strip it all down as I walk down that line,
Oh, Lord bring me to the light.
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Bring me to the light

Outro
Reveal me, reveal me
Reveal me to your light.
Reveal me, reveal me
Reveal me, Lord,
Bring me to Your light.
Lord bring me to your light.
Bring me to Your light.
Bring me to Your light.


Thank The Good Lord

Verse 1
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me blind,
'cause ain’t  no seeing straight with fog in my mind.
the Spirit came and lifted what I couldn’t see thru
no fanfare, no trumpet, just a clearin’ for the truth 

Verse 2
I want to thank the Good Lord for making me lost,
'cause a man ain’t get found till he reckons up the cost.
The wilderness, Lord, oh it do what it does 
It strips all the shine off everything that was.

Chorus
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me whole
I got grace, I got mercy  I got peace for my soul!
It’s not who I was, but who I'm startin’ to be.
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me.

Verse 3
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me small,
for the years that I stumbled, the pride before the fall.
For the hunger that hollowed a room in my chest
where somethin’ worth keepin’ could finally rest!

Final Chorus
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me whole
I got grace, I got mercy  I got peace for my soul!
It’s not who I was, but who I'm startin’ to be.
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me.
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me whole
I got grace, I got mercy  I got peace for my soul!
It’s not who I was, but who I'm startin’ to be.
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me.

Outro
It’s not who I was, but who I'm startin’ to be.
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me.
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me His 
not for what I have done but for all that He is!
It’s not who I was, but who I'm startin’ to be.
I want to thank the Good Lord for makin’ me.


Puttin' Hands On Me

Verse 1
I took the narrow road, torched the life I know,
Left it all behind me, headed where the Good Lord glows.
World's closin' in on me,
Is it a wall, or is it grace settin' me on free?

Chorus
The Good Lord is his puttin' hands on me,
Puttin' hands on me, settin' this heart free,
Puttin' hands on me,
Hands on me! Hands on me!
Every time I fall He's liftin' me again,
Puttin' hands on me like He's puttin' hands on me,
Hands on me! Hands on me!
The Good Lord is his puttin' hands on me.

Verse 2
Thought I'd walk this road with a song still in my chest,
But that joy went quiet, trouble moved with all the rest.
Can't pretend no more,
Feel Him movin' in, closer than before.  
                               
Chorus
The Good Lord is his puttin' hands on me,
Puttin' hands on me, settin' this heart free,
Puttin' hands on me,
Hands on me! Hands on me!
Every time I fall He's liftin' me again,
Puttin' hands on me like He's puttin' hands on me,
Hands on me! Hands on me!
The Good Lord is his puttin' hands on me.  

Bridge
Maybe this pressure, this holy kind of squeeze, 
is just His hand reached down and lookin' after me,
Lookin' after me!
Bringin' me low so He can raise me up, 
down on my knees is where I finally see

Final Chorus
The Good Lord is his puttin' hands on me,
Puttin' hands on me, settin' this heart free,
Puttin' hands on me,
Hands on me! Hands on me!
Every time I fall He's liftin' me again,
Puttin' hands on me like He's puttin' hands on me,
Hands on me! Hands on me!
The Good Lord is his puttin' hands on me.

Chorus Repeat
Hands on me! (Come on now!)
Hands on me! Hands on me!
Settin' this heart free! (I said free!)
Free! Free!
Puttin' hands on me like He's puttin' hands on me,
Hands on me! Hands on me!

Outro
Hands on me
Hands on me
The Good Lord is his puttin' hands on me.


I Need More Cash

Verse 1
I woke up bankrupt an staring at the ceilin’
I Got a heavy debt an a hollow feelin’
The world keeps demandin’ more than I can pay
I need a higher power to wash it all away
I'm searchin’ the ledger, and I’m searchin’ the sky
I’m Waitin’ on a deep voice to tell me why

Pre-Chorus
So here’s my confession, plain and true
There’s only one voice I’m listenin’ to 

Chorus
I need more Cash, need more line to walk
I need more water turned to wine, need more Sunday talk
I need to walk through that holy ring of fire
I need more grace to pull me from the mire
Lord, I need more Cash, more of the Man in Black  
I need more Cash, need more gospel on the track 
Whether it's Scripture, or the Spirit, or vinyl spinnin' fast
Lord, oh Lord, 
I need  more  Cash

Verse 2
I went to the bank, confessin’ my sin
Beggin’ for mercy to start over again 
He said, Son, you wandered way too far in the red
Then  I heard a boom-chicka-boom echoing in my head
It’s The truest redemption a poor boy can find
A rock solid rhythm that quiets my mind

Pre-Chorus
So here’s my confession, plain and true
There’s only one voice I’m listenin’ to 

Chorus
I need more Cash, need more line to walk
I need more water turned to wine, need more Sunday talk
I need to walk through that holy ring of fire
I need more grace to pull me from the mire
Lord, I need more Cash, more of the Man in Black  
I need more Cash, need more gospel on the track 
Whether it's Scripture, or the Spirit, or vinyl spinnin' fast
Lord, oh Lord, 
I need  more  Cash

Bridge
Is it the almighty dollar making the world spin?
Is it the Man coming around to judge every sin?
Is it keeping my balance completely in the black?
Or a worn-out needle on a vinyl track?
It's the only currency that never tells a lie
The only thing that gets me by

Final Chorus
Yeah, I need more Cash, need more line to walk
I need more water turned to wine, need more Sunday talk
I need to walk through that holy ring of fire
I need more grace to pull me from the mire
Lord, I need more Cash, more of the Man in Black  
I need more Cash, need more gospel on the track 
Whether it's Scripture, or the Spirit, or vinyl spinnin' fast
Lord, oh Lord, 
I need  more  Cash

Outro
Yeah, I gotta get back in the black
That train is rollin’ down the track
Before the Good Lord cuts me down
I’ll turn this whole life around 
Forgive my debts 
Play me a tune
I need more Cash 
And I need it soon

Lord, I need more Cash, more of the Man in Black  
I need more Cash, need more gospel on the track 
Whether it's Scripture, or the Spirit, or vinyl spinnin' fast
Lord, oh Lord, 
I need  more  Cash


Ain't Too Long Gone

Verse 1
Girl, you were halfway to nowhere, doin' ninety on the line
White-knuckled and stubborn, swearin' you'd be fine
Told everybody watchin' that you'd made up your mind
You Said you lettin’ that whole wide road unwind
Oh My love, there's a porch light burnin' up here in the dark
It’s been waitin' up on you since you left these parts 
Ain’t Never doubted once that you wandered very far
My light’s been shinin' right on where you are

Chorus
Go on and say it's over, say you're too far gone
Say you burned every bridge you ever leaned upon
But there's a door still open, there's a light still on
Girl, it's been like that all along
You ain't too long gone

Verse 2
Yeah, you been haulin' weight that was never yours to own
Draggin' chains through every door you should've left alone
Well there's rest for the restless, way past worn and blown
I been waitin' here, all along, you know 
You been countin' up your sins like a tab you cain't repay
Every little wrong you did, you keepin’ it locked away
But the Good Lord don't run no tally that way
He’s Forgivin’ the whole thing whole, everyday 

Chorus
Go on and say it's over, say you're too far gone
Say you burned every bridge you ever leaned upon
But there's a door still open, there's a light still on
Girl, it's been like that all along
You ain't too long gone

Bridge
Knock, and that door ain't locked for good
Call, and you'll be understood
That porch light don't dim, no matter how far you roam
It's kept your name safe, waitin' you home
Lost don't mean you disappeared
Just means you forgot who's still near

Final Chorus
Go on and say it's over, say you're too far gone
Say you burned every bridge you ever leaned upon
But there's arms still open, been steady and strong
Yeah they've held you all along
You ain't too long gone

Outro 
No, you ain't no, you ain't too long gone


You Don't Get To Skip That Part

Verse 1
I kept a list of every scar, every name that did me wrong,
Wore it like a coat of armor, called that weight my song.
But a quiet voice cut through the noise I couldn’t drown:
You can’t walk any lighter if you won’t lay it down.

Chorus
You don’t get to skip that part,
The breaking open of a stubborn heart,
The long way ’round through the dark
You don’t get to skip that part.
No, you don’t find the light without a spark,
Or get the healing without a scar,
Right there in the middle where the hard things start
No, you don’t get to skip that part.
You don’t get to skip that part.

Verse 2
You don’t get to count your blessings like you earned each one,
Like you never needed mercy, never needed someone.
Every breath’s a borrowed rhythm, every dawn’s a gift,
Funny how a thankful soul can make a little feel like rich.

Chorus
You don’t get to skip that part,
The breaking open of a stubborn heart,
The long way ’round through the dark
You don’t get to skip that part.
No, you don’t find the light without a spark,
Or get the healing without a scar,
Right there in the middle where the hard things start
No, you don’t get to skip that part.
You don’t get to skip that part.

Bridge
You don’t have to fake it, you don’t have to hide,
The places you were hurting are where mercy comes inside.
There’s a road through the fire, there’s a way through the pain,
And the ones who walk it never come back the same.

Final Chorus
Ohhh, you don’t get to skip that part,
The breaking open of a stubborn heart,
The long way home through the dark
You don’t get to skip that part.
No, you don’t find the light without a spark,
Or peace without a scar,
Every step that brought you this far
You don’t get to skip that part.
No you don’t get to skip that part.
You don’t get to skip that part.


Give Me Your Heart

Verse 1
My love don’t bring me your Sunday best,
Don’t fuss with your hair  you can stop with the rest
I’ve seen how you dress for a world you can’t please,
Watched you play perfect drop down to your knees
But kneelin’ gets cheap and bowin’ gets cheaper,
I’m callin’ you down a little bit deeper

Verse 2 
Don’t send me your calendar packed to the brim,
Don’t squeeze me in somewhere between you and all them
I ain’t after the minutes you manage and keep,
I’m after the part of you that ain’t come cheap
The thing that you’re short is the thing that you hide,
That door you keep locked yeah, it’s locked from inside

Chorus 
So give Me your heart not the show, not the shine,
Not the words you rehearsed not the good little lines
I want the wreck and the want and the ache underneath,
That truth you hold tight with your last breath you breathe
Give Me that mess yeah, every shattered part,
And I’ll take care of the rest 
Just give Me your heart
Give Me your heart
Just give Me your heart

Bridge
You don’t gotta earn it don’t gotta pretend,
You can lay it all down right where you stand
When you’re tired and runnin’ I know where you are,
There’s a rest for the weary right here in My arms
No rules to impress Me no lines to start,
Just a steady kind of love for your guarded heart

Final Chorus
So give Me your heart not the shell, not the show,
Not the mask you wear not the things people know
I want the wreck - and the want - and the ache down beneath,
That truth you’ve been holdin’ with white-knuckle teeth
Give Me that mess yeah, every shattered part,
And I’ll take care of the rest 
Just give Me your heart
Give me your heart 
Just give Me your heart

Outro
Give Me your heart
Just give Me your heart 
Give me your heart


Love While You Can

Verse 1
Love while you can, love while you will
The quiet house gets awful still
You don’t know which word is your last
You don’t know which good thing has passed

Pre-Chorus
So let your heart stay warm and wide
Don’t let the small stuff make you hide
Someone out there still needs to feel
That what you’ve got between you is real

Chorus
O love, love while you can
O love, love while you still can
The day will come, the day will come
When all you have is where you stand
At the grave of everything
With nothing left but grief
So love, love while you can

Verse 2
Guard your words like something rare
Not every thought belongs in the air
A tender heart can take a bruise
From words you didn’t mean to use

Pre-Chorus
So speak with care, and speak with grace
Look for the light in every face
Let nothing small come between
The love you meant and what it means

Chorus
O love, love while you can
O love, love while you still can
The day will come, the day will come
When all you have is where you stand
At the grave of everything
With nothing left but grief
So love, love while you can

Bridge
You’ll kneel down in the long wet grass
Beside the stone that bears their name
You’ll say I’m sorry to the past
But sorry cannot call them back again
The lips that kissed you speak no more
No hand can reach across death’s door

Final Chorus
O love, love while you can
O love, love while you still can
The day will come, the day will come
When all you have is where you stand
At the grave of everything
With nothing left but grief
So love, love while you can
Love while you can

Outro
Love while you can
Love while you can
While you can
