A Seed Buried In The Ground

Wide 03:50
I know if my mind could be quiet A sound would come along Oh God, will You come calm the seas of This lonely one, this one Show me the place where this life is just a day Show me the day where the past will fall away Come tell my eyes to be open, open wide To be wide, to be wide Remember the night that storm raged You called out to me Remember when I said “not this time” Stay away this time God, I know You’ve been near the whole time But God, sometimes You seem hard to find These days my pride has been making me blind Show me the place where this life is just a day Show me the day where the past will fall away Come tell my eyes to be open, open wide To be wide, to be wide

Moon 04:13
Pull the blankets tight just for the night Don’t let get inside Wrapped up the dark I feel apart Needing a fresh start When the moon runs its course too slow Then I run where I should not go When the moon shines across the snow In my mind winding winds I blow My worried mind has brought such heavy thoughts Waiting to be caught The light inside the window brings it on Waiting for the dawn You so long ago Came all alone You offer a hope Comfort the cold When the moon runs its course so slow Then I run where I should not go When the moon shines across the snow In my mind winding winds I blow

Lines 02:57
These are just lines to try to describe love “The look in your eyes” and all of the above Clever lines fall short, every time You, my love, I can’t describe but I will try A streetlamp shines on a tree and I can see every leaf You’re the light, the tree is me You will glow through this night Clever lines fall short every time You, my love, I can’t describe but I will try Clever lines fall short every time You, my love, I can’t describe but I will try

To Myself 04:18
Before you lay down, before your chest the mattress found Your heart is somewhere so unsound Is it all in your head? Are you safer in bed? Along your bedside, you feel the night has crept inside And sadness leaves no place to hide Is it all in your head? Are you safer in bed? Why carry your debt? All you heavy laden, burdened, and oppressed Love has come to lay your weary heart to rest

Some Years 04:25
I’ll go run to the woods A friend in the trees I will find Standing together we would Lift heartbroken arms to the sky When did you last not feel so sad? Not feel so bad? I won’t pretend, I’m not sure when or how long it’s been It’s the brightest it’s been in some years It’s the brightest it’s been Staring into the lake The darkest green colored night A rippled bend in my face Suddenly seeming just right When did you last not feel so sad? Not feel so bad? I won’t pretend, I’m not sure when or how long it’s been When did you last not feel so sad? Not feel so bad? I won’t pretend, I’m not sure when or how long it’s been It’s the brightest it’s been in some years It’s the brightest it’s been in some years It’s the brightest it’s been in some years It’s the brightest it’s been in some years It’s been some years now It’s been some years now It’s been some years now It’s been some years now

Slow Tide 01:52
So slow, the ocean’s hand Moon light, a moving band Cold sand, the tide a pen Softly writes in sweeping bends Hold my feet gently and then retreat I hear the sound of the tide whispering With every drowning word It offers barely a sigh, it softly sings A song so long unheard It tells of Him, a quiet hymn
7.
Burn all of your bridges with nothing left behind Who needs reason or rhyme? Erase all the pages, there is no law to find Everyone’s is fine, everyone’s but mine Well my friend how can it be That I’m wrong if there is no morality? The difference between you and me Is that I do my best to practice what I preach What is right for me is not right for you? Is nothing left that’s true? But when you are harmed you walk right out the door And justice must be restored, justice applies once more Well my friend how can it be That I’m wrong if there is no morality? The difference between you and me Is that I do my best to practice what I preach Oh my friend, you feel unjustly treated now? Well that’s the game And it’s hard to play when you have thrown out all the rules And only you’re behind the reins Now don’t call names cause in this fight I’m just as right as you Or so you said, or so you said
8.
The clouds seem to be lingering Their cold stare covers me But I see, I see You Coming, coming through The dark seems to be burying The dull lights don’t do a thing But I see, I see You Coming, coming through But I see, I see You Coming, coming through
9.
Begin Again 05:10
Swimming darkness through the glass As I watch the evening pass From night to mind tonight I find In their eyes I will find Your design Into mine You will shine In their eyes I will find Your design Into mine You will shine, You will shine Mingle moon with warm headlights Distant stars and dashing lines Are all I need to see tonight In Your eyes I will find my design Into mine You will shine In Your eyes I will find my design Into mine You will shine, You will shine I begin, I begin I begin again, I begin again
10.
I am not beautiful to see but this tree Carries the one whose death set you free, can’t you see? That pinned to this cross is a man from above And within my wood there are blood stains of love Oh, oh no Clouds covered sun, blocking the light Rocks split the earth was shaken with might Surely this day a man of God died On wood, wooden beams lifted upright This man is the way, the truth, and the life, the life Love had its way today Love had its way today Love had its way today Love had its way today Love had its way today Blood mixed with wood can save
11.
The Ending 04:45
The highs and lows, my wooden boat is still afloat I barely row and on I go, the wind You blow The wind You blow I know the ending But I’m still pretending That you’re not here and I can’t feel at home And when it seems that I must sink You come to me Across the waves, up from Your grave to calm the sea To calm the sea I love, I love You I love, I love You I love, I love You I love, I love You
