NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG
Lyrics & Music © Matt Allison 2000 (SAMRO)
I look into the oceans I stare into the seas
I gaze at the mountains I see the strength in all of these
I stop to smell the flowers and marvel at the trees
And if I had the faith of but a mustard seed
I could move any of these
Chorus
And all of my emotions collide into one
When I think of your love
After all you have done for me and how you hold me
Hold me how you hold me in your arms tonight
Tomorrow will come as today fades away
My eyes will open and I'll see your face
And the beauty you hold within my heart
Will spring forth from my face Will spring forth from my face
Chorus
I look into the oceans I stare into the seas
I gaze at the mountains I see the strength in all of these
And if I had the faith of but a mustard seed
I could move any of these
Chorus
THE WHOLE NINE YARDS
Lyrics & Music © Matt Allison 2000 (SAMRO)
Just like Chicken Little I watch the sky fall down
My problems get bigger as I'm nearing the ground
But I thank God I live by Grace make no mistake
I could not do this on my own
You say It's called destiny, it has the same name to everyone but me
I call it my Fathers hand, watching over, watching over me
So why should I lay down my sleepy head upon your bed
When I know it's no good for me
Temptation rocks me like a boat on stormy shores
Can I follow me but praise you Lord
Chorus
It is the whole nine yards
I want to be ten under par
And if I sink beyond my own strength
Give me hope to carry on
Well ten thousand miles I have walked to where I am
And I can say that I've become a stronger man
But Father I still need your guiding hands
I am frail because I'm but a man
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
Chorus
EASY TO FORGET
Lyrics & Music © Matt Allison 2000 (SAMRO)
Swing me around again
On this merry go round
It is easy to lose your mind (in a place like this)
When you are not so close to the ground
I feel myself slipping away
I feel myself slipping into you
Darkness overcomes my thoughts
And I'm left alone
Chorus
It's so easy to forget, I'm here and I'm not (there) X2
Sticks and stones will break these mortal bones
And words will forever harm me
Why is it so hard to me to find the strength?
To see that I'm special (in your eyes)
Chorus
Bridge My memory is clouded
By all of these things
I cannot think straight
But I will not give in
This place is so lonely
This place is so cold
Chorus
GRACE
Lyrics & Music © Matt Allison 2000 (SAMRO)
I make mistakes as I run this race
I often fall, flat on my face
But I don't give up, and I don't lose faith
Cause I know it's not by luck
That I'm in this place
Chorus
Well it's not that simple and it aint that hard
It's the Grace I live by it is the Grace of God
They call me names spit in my face
My cheeks burn red but I'm not ashamed
Underdog, second place they don't understand
I've already won their race
Chorus
Oh OOh Oh, Yeah Ye Yeah x4
Well I'm not disturbed by the things that they say
Their words can harm me but I can take the pain
A small sacrifice, for the price he has paid
He gave his life so why should I be ashamed
Chorus x 3
THIS ROAD
Lyrics & Music © Matt Allison 2000 (SAMRO)
Well I've walked down this road
Now the choice I must make
Which way do I go?
Fork in the middle of it all
The road begins to split
Into two, into two
Chorus
So hold me now I don't want to let you go
Keep me on this narrow road
And though I may stumble
Though I might fall, I know you will
Keep me safe my Lord
I know you will keep me safe my Lord
The distance grows daily
One step is greater than the last
My heart is torn between two places
How much longer will it last
Chorus
Interlude
Oh Keep me safe, Oh keep me safe
And though I may stumble
And though I might fall
I know you will keep me safe my Lord x3
