Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed
I wanna go back to sleep
Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed
I wanna go back to sleep
I've got all my reading and writing to do
At the hem of cuckoo
When the morning light's through my window
But could I instead,
Could I simply go back to bed?
Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed
I wanna go back to sleep
Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed
I wanna go back to sleep
I should be praying and waiting, I know
So I can get to know
This God that I love and follow
But today I'm spent
Can i simply go back to bed?
Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed
I wanna go back to sleep
Sunrise kiss me, sweet, back to bed
I wanna go back to sleep
Dolce far niente lulls me back to sleep
So I silence the beep of my alarm clock at 630
And I savour rest
I simply go back to bed

In all that I do, may I do it for love
With nothing left to prove
With no fight to 'Enough'
Just the knowledge that, in everything, I am full
I am loved by my God
I am graced to be good
In all that I do, may I do it for love
With no voice hounding me about what I'm yet to become
Just the knowledge that life is all progress and such
May I progress in peace
May I progress in love
Life is a gracewalk
Life is gracewalk
It's an adventure to leave here
It's an adventure to believe Him
En todo lo que hago, lo haré con amor
No tengo nada que demostrarle a nadie
Porque tengo su gracia rodeándome
Soy amada por mi Dios
Soy amada por él
Un paseo en gracia
Un paseo en gracia
Es una aventura, esta vida
Con Dios es una aventura

I think there's a thought of you
At the back of my mind
Scratchy piece of paper
Crumpled in a corner
With your name on a line
Swing until we overdose on laughter, darling
That was our style
Walk into the dark and talk for hours, darling
That was our kind
I think there's a thought of you
At the back of my mind
Polaroid picture hidden under clutter
With your face close to mine
Talk about the way we love to love, oh darling
That was our style
Then let each other down push came to shove
Oh darling, that was our sign
That things wouldn't work like we wanted them to
You're the first, you're the first, though not the last
You're the first, you're the first, though not the last
And my heart may not forget so fast
Oh my first, oh my first though not the last
I think there's a thought of you at the back of my mind
You came when my heart relearned to be courageous
You came quite like a crime
Awakening a part of me
I've tried to lull to sleep with lullabies
But I will not despise the past
Nor will you I despise
Though things didn't work like we wanted them to
You're the first, you're the first, though not the last
You're the first, you're the first, though not the last
And my heart may not forget so fast
Oh my first, oh my first though not the last
Oh my last, oh my love
Oh my heart, get excited
Oh what lasts, that is love
Oh my heart, be reminded

As a new day comes
And the old one passes away
Mercies are new
And the window panes are alight with a Love Song
And they sing, "Turn your mistakes into birds"

Since I was young with wide-eyed wonder, I wondered
With throbbing heart that beat out rhythms and questions
Oh what is this longing for love I hold?
Longing rocks my very soul
It carries on with every blushing daybreak
It carries on as the night winds fade
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Pointing right to You
Pointing right to You
His hand to hold and butterflies as he moves close
Are but a shadow of a mystery I long to know
Oh what is this longing for more I hold?
Longing cuts me to the bone
It carries on though my heart breaks
It carries on though my mistakes
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Pointing right to You
Pointing right to You
Sunrise and pink horizons
Romance me like a silly child
My heart is a love letter
Sent from the one who paints the sky
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Oh my heart is an arrow
Pointing right to You
Pointing right to You

Oh My Courageous Heart

Oh my courageous heart
You are a brave heart
And I am a full on prophet
Oh my courageous heart
You have the highest call
To give you up to another
Oh my courageous heart
Nothing's worth much at all
Without a little danger
Oh my brave heart...
Oh my courageous heart
Paint with your wings of love
For you are a cageless bird
No need to stand on guard
You have the highest call
Give yourself over to another
Don't you be worried by
The hurt that may arise
When you pour yourself out
Oh my courageous heart
Nothing's worth much at all
Without a little sacrifice
Oh my brave heart...
Oh my courageous heart
One thing, before I depart,
Don't get caught up in your own mysterious grandeur
You are a tiny star, made much more beautiful,
When you learn to dance with the constellations at midnight
Singing "Oh Jupiter, you're beautiful.
Oh Dipper..."
You are a wild one
You are a castle
You are the arms of your God

I will love you still
Through the quiet and the quarantine
I will love you still
Even if we don't get married in a church
Let's go, courthouse, or backyard groves
Let's go, back porch, or a street in the middle of nowhere
I will love you still
Even if we don't get married in a church
What's forever but sweet,
And sighs, and sleepovers with your best friend?
Let's go, courthouse, or backyard groves
Let's go, back porch, or a street in the middle of nowhere
Let's go, go build a home, your hand is my home
Let's go, go build a home, your hand is my home
Your hand is my home
Your hand is my home
Your hand is my home
Your hand is my home

Healing

There is a healing in this place
There is a healing since You came
Watch how the fear shrivels in pain
There is a healing
There is a healing in this place
Done the depression that dug like spades
Done unforgiveness that kept us caged
There is a healing
Spirit of Love, come down colourful
Like the skin of Grandmother's arms
We welcome the healing
There is a healing in this place
There is a healing since You came
I know my worth, I trample shame
There is a healing
Spirit of Love, come down colourful
Like the skin of Grandmother's arms
We welcome the healing
Spirit, oh come down with healing
Spirit, oh come down with healing
Spirit, oh come down with healing
Spirit, oh come down with healing
Spirit of Love, come down colourful
Like the skin of Grandmother's arms
We welcome the healing

Father-Daughter Dance

Daddy, I'm scared of the word 'home'
The word's always let me down
I'm standing right here in familiar
But still feel lost, like a beggar in town
He said, “Daughter there is no danger
Greater than the one you paint with your fears
So darling let truth be your anchor
And watch all your doubts disappear
Oh daughter, my heart’s your home
Oh daughter, in me you're not alone.”
And right there I let go my anger
And tossed it out into the seas
And right there I let go my offense
'Til my heart was light as kite paper in breeze
And right there I felt no danger
Cuz fear finally ran away
With his tail between his legs
And his head bowed down in shame
Oh father, my heart’s at home
Father, in You I'm not alone
I'm never alone
You are a sturdy old cabin that I can hide in, under a blanket
While sipping hot chocolate by a fireplace
So safe and warm, I'm safe and warm in my father’s home
I’m safe and warm
Oh father, my heart’s at home
Father, in You I'm not alone

Here you are, I see Your Son
Here you are, I see Your Son
I don’t want to lose a glimpse
I don’t want to lose a glimpse of Your Son
Radiant One since earth was young
Since dust has longed for Redemption’s song
I don’t want to lose a glimpse
I don’t want to lose a glimpse of Your Son
There is no life I found
No life I found
No life this side of sun
There is no life I found
No life I found
No life I found outside Your Son
The fool, he says “There is no God”
The cynic says, “God is not love”
And so he just drugs himself
Numb enough to soon forget what love does
There is no high I found
No high I found
No high this side of sun
There is no high I found
No high I found
No lasting high outside the Son
To the girl who’s running from herself
With another man on her shelf, See the Son
To the man who is blind to His hand
With a heart colder than avalanches, See Him now
Open your eyes to the Son
God open their eyes to the Son
