Human Being
Lyrics
I don’t want to play the game
I don’t live inside a screen
I′m not for sale, not a brand, not a name
I am a human being
I wanna let all my friends up close
Where I'm fragile, unfiltered and weak
′Cause only the broken can be redeemed
It′s the way of the human being
Form dust we came
To dust we'll go
Still Love has called our names
We were made from more than this fool′s gold
Or acting on this stage
Or can't you feel that ache
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
So teach me the number my days
Turn my eyes from worthless things
I wanna see my children and watch them grow
Wanna pray in the secret when no one knows
Look up at these stars and turn down the noise
And listen for that still small voice
I wanna lay down the trifles and choose the feast
′Cause we were made for eternal things
I am a human
We are all human
We are all human beings
We are all human beings
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh (we are all, we are all, we are all human beings)
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh (we are all, we are all, we are all human beings)
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh (we are all, we are all, we are all human beings)
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh (we are all, we are all, we are all human beings)

Permanent
Lyrics
Verse 1:
We were sitting on the couch
I was wrapped up in my shame
I was tired and all burned out
From trying to be perfect
And falling down again
I have failed you and the kids
I had raised and lost my head
You didn’t shame or try to fix
When I said I was sorry
Took my face in your hands
Chorus:
My love does not depend
On what you’ve done or where you’ve been
My love a promise fixed
It’s written down, it’s permanent
It’s permanent
Verse 2:
There was something ‘bout that night
Grace became so real to me
With all my dark out in the light
Still I was loved
And it set me free
And I know you’re broken too
But to me you’ve been a sign
Of a love that sees right through
Wraps me up
Says “You are mine”
Chorus
Bridge:
Love sees my mess
But keeps no record of my wrong
When I protest
It bears the weight, absorbs the cost
Love sees the beauty
And sings a new name over me
My heart in answer starts
To hum the melody
Chorus

Tell That Story
Lyrics
Verse 1
I am just a jar of clay
With cracks and broken pieces
But I've got a treasure stored away
And it shines right through my weakness
And I'm not that skilled, and I'm not that cool
And I don't play that well
But I have got some real good news
And a Story I must tell
Chorus
I'm gonna tell that Story
I'm gonna sing this song
I'm gonna praise my Savior
All day long
Verse 2
They talk of fame and followers
And doin’ real big things
I don't have much of either one
But still he says to sing
I'm steward of the story as the moon reflects the light
So If you see him and forget me
I've told this Story right
Chorus 2x
Verse 3
I'll tell it in my neighborhood
And with my kids at home
And I'll sing it out here on the stage
And when I'm all alone
And when I get to heaven's gates
And I'll see my Savior face to face
I'm gonna join the quite of the saints
Together we'll sing that old song
Chorus 2x

The Wonder
Lyrics
Little fingers they run
Through my hair
A tiny head on my shoulder
When you reach for my hand
Just to know I'm there
The things I'll miss when you're older
But in the rush of the day
How I turn away
How I forget the wonder
I forget the grace
And the giving of thanks
For the weight of the love that I'm under
Oh, the wonder
When my temper is short
And the day is long
And my words come out in anger
And I tell you I'm sorry
But the moment's gone
I'm so heavy with my failure
But let me tell you darlin'
Where your mama she is running
To the cross, oh what a wonder
All my love, just a shadow
Pointing on to the hallowed
To what's deeper, wider, longer
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
The wonder
When my hair is gray, and my words get slow
And my days are almost over
And I whisper to you, "how I love you so"
I hope you never had to wonder
And you know, my child
You've never been only mine
Though I wish I, could hold you longer
Though I leave you, He is near
He will wipe away your tears
You're so loved by God the Father
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
The wonder
